One of those is tasked with finding missing federal money. The other one isn't.

one can only hope more people would pull a Frankie Five Angels

All I remember about Kwame in 2002 is he was down in the stands near the Cup when they brought it out. And then at the rally in Hart Plaza. And is the complaint about Whitmer that she's in Italy? Not sure this is breaking news but governors very often travel overseas on behalf of their state. It didn't start with Gretch. Maybe we need Charlie LeDuff to do an investigation again... rope in Benson too somehow because Lord knows we can't have these gals out there doing stuff like this. I mean after all, we know if they fart good ole Charlie's on it with a column.

I saw him with Sparky at Chili's around that time. This was in February, must have been right before spring training. It was just the two of them. I was wearing an Oakland A's hat. Sparky kept looking at it. Maybe having flashbacks to the '72 World Series.

and nobody really "celebrated" Kwame at the time for being there. In fact i recall people making fun of him for suddenly showing up. I mean... the 2002 SC was won in the city of Detroit. THe parade was in the city of Detroit. Kwame was the mayor of the city of Detroit. The City of Detroit is not in Italy. I didn't see Gretchan Whitmer with either of the hockey teams but somehow she's being indirectly compared to Patel? Why bring her up?

That's something lost on the old timers who complain about "today's soft pitchers who can only go 100 pitches" and then they bring up one guy who pitched a lot and ignore the others who blew out their arms. It's not about ability or durability. It's a conscious decision to pitch this way. Same way with strikeouts and hitters.

We should have a Jerry Walker/Joe Klein debate.

Larry David needs to do an emergency episode of Curb involving the Cheryl character.... something like what was done to Susan on Seinfeld.

I saw a video of him doing KB swings and he was very limp wristed and looked like he never picked one up in his life. It was pathetic. “Our side”. You ain’t **** bro. Don’t claim credit. Yes I am talking to you.

Miggy's in camp.

At Tiger games during the week I will get a $5 can of high life. Those are considered "deals" at Comerica Park. It satisfies my craving. Blue was my beer all through young adulthood until the craft stuff took off in the early 2010s.

Corona? Yuck. That's a one and done beer when on the beach or in sunshine. Any more than that and I'm burping that **** up all day. I guess Blue Lights or Molson were out of the question given the circumstances. I'm back to filling my garage fridge with Blue and Blue Lights. I still have craft beer and go to breweries but for every day at home at night... it's the Blues. I treat the craft stuff as a treat.

I'm probably a Harris slappy too. I didn't hate Avila but I think that kind of job passed him by. No shame in that. He had a great career in the business and did some good things for this org. Nothing wrong with saying we need someone else to take over.

Alan Shepard had that. It's why he was grounded before his first scheduled Gemini flight. He found a doctor to do what was then experimental surgery where they inserted a tube do drain fluid. He got back on flight status and commanded Apollo 14 and golfed on the moon. Prior to that he flew 15 minutes in space. The movie Apollo 13 didn't represent it very well. He was cleared to fly and was to be given Apollo 13 but management stepped in and said he wasn't ready yet so he swapped missions with Jim Lovell. In hte movie Hanks says "Al Shepards ear infection flared up". Not true. It was merely about training. Good luck. If it is Meniere's it might be an easier resolution.

Rich Lowrey and Ted Cruz are the perfect embodiment of the weak. They are George McFly to Trumps Biff.

I’m trying to remember why I hated Thomas Massie. If I were a billionaire I would be behind him. Not because of his politics but because he represents the normal window of politics. Just reset things and we can fight about the margins and not democracy itself. I saw an animated video explaining Iran Contra. Jesus Christ that seems like small potatoes today.

There’s a time and a place for everything. Professional athletes are far too busy and dedicated to their craft to delve into politics. He probably has no idea who he was or what he’s done. Obviously I yield to no one in my hatred of these people and if I was given the opportunity to pay $1000 to be in a room with them or Trump so I could flip them the bird and tell them to **** off, I would do it. But I wouldn’t do it at a wedding for funeral or a celebratory event like this.

That was awesome.

I’m not going to worry about Larkin on this. He just won the gold medal. I don’t expect him to react that way in a moment like this. That’s unreasonable.

Try hearing aids before cochlear. Cochlear is a physical and permanent change to your inner ear. It’s a controversial issue in deaf culture for sure so I am biased. Obviously I know you will research this because it’s your body so I am saying it for others.

What at I missing that some would not like it?

Canada should have won 5-1. What a great game and bringing out Johnnys jersey and family made it all worth it. Damn.

Classless as ever. Pure trash. That’s a requirement. MAGA is nothing but an ashtray and STD.

In Detroit the game was on delay and Bill Bonds ruined it during a promo commercial for the news later on.

Sunday mornings are long run days and… I can’t get out of it for certain reasons. I think I can get into the 2nd. Will record then go offline and watch when I get back.
