You are arguing against a point I never made.

2003.... game 161. Tigers at 119 losses. Saturday night. Bottom of the 9th, tie game. Sanchez walks. Steals 2nd. Steals 3rd. Wild pitch, he scores the game winning run to ensure the Tigers won't break the single season losing record. One of the best pre-2006 moments in Comerica Park history.

Hakeem Jefferies was not speaker in this photo.

I put nothing past Johnson and Vance and the rest.... you know, the kind of thing where only certain results will be accepted. Can you really imagine a scenario where that jag off will hand over the gavel to Hakeem Jefferies and smiling? I can't.

I thought that would happen in '24... but I guess the thought of a "black woman" President revived them a little.

When we bought this house 12 years ago it was empty as the owner had moved in with his girlfriend. He told us, off the record, we could start putting some stuff in before closing, just don't let his agent know. I showed up around this time of year, and he was there knee deep in the leaves. It was near Veterans Day as we were both off work. He said "I bet if you saw this you wouldn't have bought the house, eh?" I devoted probably 7 days, a few hours each day, of leaf cleanup every winter... and dozens of lawn bags. We also have a system to put leaves in the street for pickup but that doesn't always work out time wise.

they put that True Coat on at the plant....

Best $1500 I spent was having my maple taken down. Caught a crew in the neighborhood last year and my jaw dropped at the estimate. He got 4 in my street that day. Time is money and so is energy. I made it back. Plus it was dying and every time it rained or we got wind I was nervous. My birch provides just enough leaves that I can mulch with grass cutting and I let the wind and nature take care of the rest. Lawns aren’t supposed to look like golf courses.

Wonder how many sex workers were captured via a person pretending to be ICE? You know the right wing religious nutjobs love to claim that as an issue. The dude who played Jesus cosplayed it to death, out there “rescuing” peoole in the jungle.

If the Tigers traded Skubal their season ticket sales would nosedive. No, that’s not a reason to not do it if the right deal comes along but it is a reason to think long and hard about making a move just to prove to Twitter that you “have balls”. And the bottom line does affect the roster eventually.

approval ratings are meaningless. Courts are meaningless. Nobody has the power to make them do what they don't want to do.

that might be the most spot on thing that site's ever done.

Former Vice President Richard Cheney dead at 84

I learned the concept of "don't pay someone until you have to" from a former poster here and I think it's valid. Especially given the uncertainty with the labor situation. If you think you have a good system in place you should be able to replace him. You don't need back to back Cy Young pitchers to replace him but a couple of players who might finish top ten.

Who can forget this iconic moment.

No team is going to do that trade. Why would they trade a younger and cheaper version of Skubal that they have for a few more years? And another one? And a position player? No team is that deep and on paper they have just made their team weaker in 2026 and most likely 2027 and 2028.

If you read the ****ing tweet and replies you would see the very logical reasons why. But logic isn’t something required by insane right wingers obsessed with this race. for those who didn’t…. He’s on the ballot twice because he’s nominated by two parties. So is Curtis Sliwa. Adam’s didn’t drop out in time. Cuomo is nominated by a fringe party and they go near the end. my god this isn’t complicated. But I know thinking is.

If you are in your 50s and have kids in their 20s this is like Bing Crosby singing with David Bowie. For those not… that’s Anthony from the Wiggles. Fruit Salad….

wait, you mean to tell me all that chatter about "all they gotta do is....." is not that informative? That Doug from Fowlerville isn't more informed than the team of attorneys and number crunchers that work for Scott Harris?

what they mean is 'where the blacks are'

I'm pissed about who isn't on the ballot.

"BIG CITIES" "DEMOCRATS".... nothing but buzzwords devoid of any logic or critical thinking. When you see those words in the sentence... ignore it. It's like the word "thugs". You know what they mean
