I totally read that name too when looking and still skipped past it. 
 

Gehringer wore #3 briefly and Greenberg #7. 

Tiger pitchers wearing single digits as a uniform number

I watched a video on the analytics of batters challenging calls, and the short of it said that challenging early in games or in low-leverage ABs is generally unwise unless it's an absolutely egregiously bad call.

And I’m wondering if they are sort of tracking themselves. See how much they can trust their initial gut. “Am I good at this?”

I think Goldwater could have been talked into it. Ike, maybe not so much. Definitely not the Bushes. I'm 50-50 on Reagan, too.

Read up on his wiki page. I don’t think Goldwater would have went along.  He consistently spoke out against the religious right and in tne 80s and 90s said the party had been taken over by kooks. 

Interesting. I will play with DVRing tonight on xfinity 

Goldwater and Ike would not be republicans today. Nixon might have been what Lindsay Graham is. Definitely not the Bushes. Reagan is someone I am not sure on. I could argue both ways.  I wish I could have seen what William F Buckley would have w written 

The abandonment of those principals by those in power, I know many intellectuals still cling to it and are never trumpers, but i mean the politicians themselves,tells me the principals were just bull**** to rope in voters for the real battle-the culture war. 

The best nicknames are ones you wouldn’t know right away

I will say this. With MLB doing the game we might see more stuff like this pregame. They didn’t usually show all of this did they?

Kevin looks like a player from 1985.

Hyperbole. Vegas is fine.

I get pushed Vegas content and this is a common theme from these folks.  "Vegas is fine".

My wife just went to the airport to go to Dallas.  She waited 3 minutes at TSA.

Derek Hill on the White Sox is so White Sox. I can't explain it but it is.

There's no escape from the gambling....

I like opening out west.  Get a game on after I'm done working, then some later games on the weekend.  And my wife is going out of town.  

It once told me "You definitely don't want to do that"

BUt yeah, usually everytime I ask something I'm told what a great idea that is.

I made a bunch last night

Isn't this level of management pretty much what was being implied of the latter part of the Biden Presidency by the media?

The President's brains are pretty much a skillet of scrambled eggs at this point and, for some reason, barely anyone seems to notice 

Meanwhile I see videos of Biden on airplanes and trains looking relatively fine for a guy his age.  He was supposed to be in a wheelchair and drinking thru straws by now.

Where's Jake Tapper?

The trouble is that it sounds like congress was ready for a deal but the person who signs any bills gets his own airplane.

I was hanging out in the lobby at the Comerica Park offices with Max, his family, and girlfirend.  It was right after the draft and he came up to sign his deal. I didn't bother them but it's weird not thinking you are that old and seeing his parents and they're about my age. I still think I have a shot.

I was thinking of using it for the same purpose. I have about 1500 sq foot to work with beyond my “stuff” meaning the HVAC and laundry and bathroom. Doesn’t seem like a lot but then I compare to the main level and coverage, there’s a lot to work with. 

But I thought it was open. Or that it only affected Europe. Or natural gas was all good.
