    I don't like going to restaurants, so Covid has been a good excuse not to go! I prefer takeout.

    I think it's because both parties are terrible and people are embarrassed to belong to a party. I will never belong to a party because they are both more interested in serving Wall Street than the people. I have generally voted Democrat because the stuff they pretend to care about is better than the stuff the Republicans pretend to care about. Plus, the Republican party is now a pathetic joke ever since Trump took over.

    Yes. his defense seems to be good. Hopefully, the injury does not diminish his skills.

    Looking up his stats, it is surprising that he had only 127 PA in 2021. I thought it was more than that. That isn't nearly enough for me to be sold on him.

    I don't think Verlander was dropped because of bad contracts. They easily could have kept him and still had a very reasonable budget. I liked almost none of their trades during the re-build. The re-build seemed to be mostly dumping salaries for second and third tier prospects and collecting high draft picks.

    I wish there were more right of center people. Most of the vocal people who briefly join the conversation here are angry extremists who try to troll us. I like hearing what you and Eswieg and few others have to say.

    That has been true only since MAGA started. Practically every right wing politician has either become radicalized or enables the radicals because they don't want to lose the MAGA base. It's a mess. I remember dropping by this forum prior to MAGA and thinking that it was very balanced.

    Very good point. The United States has one of the highest obesity rates and lowest lifepans among developed countries. It's a huge problem in general and definitely a big contributor to Covid deaths. As an aside, if you take away immigrants, we would be doing even worse. I also wonder what percentage of vaxers and anti-vaxers are obese. Given the that the red states have very high obesity rates, I'd bet that there is a high percentage of obese among the unvaccinated.

    Finally an idea that someone likes! 😃

    Another thing I wouldn't mind seeing is for the draft to be based on team records through the trade deadline. That would help rid the perception that teams are tanking late in the season.

    If everybody wants to win, why do we have threads where everyone roots for the Tigers to finish last? If the fans want to finish last, perhaps the front office secretly wants the same.
  12. Tiger337
    Yes, getting one of the top 8 picks for five years in a row should make a team get better. You are assuming that the Tigers will get unlucky in the lottery. Did you ever think that they might finish with the eighth worst record and then WIN the lottery? Detroit sports fans are great (at least the Tigers fans are!), but they are very pessimistic.
  13. Tiger337
    I don't know if it would make a difference, but I would like to see a lottery based on principle. Teams should not be rewarded for being terrible. An 8-team lottery would help teams in need get better without rewarding incompetence.
  14. Tiger337
    It used to be worse. However, this idea of that being terrible for five years as a prerequisite to success is relatively new.
  15. Tiger337
    That is not a bad idea. Not as cool as relegation, but better than having teams deliberastely sucking for five years with the hopes of getting good again some time.
  16. Tiger337
    The idea that teams have to completely tear down in order to get good again is also absurd. There are many different avenues to success.

    Pence will back pedal within a week.

    I think it has more to do with population density than mask wearing. MA has been stricter than NH, but NH has done much better than MA throughout. NH has no big cities and people spend a lot of time outdoors.

    It's all about the players.

    The MLBPA rejected the federal mediator. Tony Clark got off to a slow start, but now he's ready for business. I hope it's not too late.

    I think it's more likely that we look back and say things changed the day they signed whatever players become their stars.
  22. Tiger337
    They should have either tried to extend him or trade him earlier if that didn't work out. Martinez was an awesome and under appreciated hitter. He was probably the second best Tigers hitter in the last 40+ years. They never should have reached the point where they traded him for garbage. I know we are now discussing something totally different than the original argument.

    Jobe might end up being a case of outsmarting themselves. But, for now, we'll just need to be patient with Jobe.
  24. Tiger337
    Like Stephen Miller.

    Why do people think that Ben Shapiro is smart?
