  1. In our case you could tell it was just broken speakers. For a long time we had no issues then suddenly we couldn't hear.
  2. I dabbled in it in the early 90's. Listened to Mark Scott on the radio every morning. The UN Black Helicopter stuff. Randy Weaver. Koresh. "New World Order". I think there were people always susceptiple to that way of thinking but with the rise of talk radio in the late 80's, along with usenet groups and message board (Pre Internet Days), it gave them ways to connect. They started to view George Bush as a 'globalist' and that's where you saw the early seeds of discord on the far right. The mixture of racism and populism which Perot tapped into. The internet itself didn't do much to to elevate it from where it was for 10+ years but social media did. And what did we have when social media took off? A black President. Perect combination and Trump saw that opening and capitalized on it.
  3. Watching a news story on upgrades to Comerica Park. The new board.... the resolution portion is key. But other than that I don't really care. Just a way for them to increase their advertising options. New TV's throughout. I like that one. A lot of them were old tube TV's that didn't function anymore. Sound system. Long overdue. Sometimes I couldn't even hear the PA announcer. I would hear words but the speakers near us were broken. New sensory room. This is a big deal for a small number of people and kudos for the Tigers for joining in other venues in doing this. I have a son that could utilize it. Today's scene at games and ballparks can be overloading for people with sensory issues. It's a real thing. I'd like to see them paint some of the walls away from that light blue/green color. It looks like some government operation with steal desks and uncomfortable chairs. Like a social security office.
  4. That’s an account I never heard of. I’m always suspicious that they aren’t satire or larks, like Nick Adams.
  5. ****. Didn’t think of that. I live in Dearborn and finding halal hot dogs could be a good thing. Is that cheating? It’ would be beef. Maybe it is cheating. The hot dogs are the bad part. I’m not sure 9 12 ounce cans of blue light or Miller High Life would do me in. I have consumed that much beer at a game a few times back in the “good old days”. It’s been probably 10 years.
  6. Tigers have opened at home on Good Friday a number of times. I know this because it’s an issue with eating meat for some.
  7. Regarding Trumps tweets or whatever they are.. I think the misspelling and grammar is intentional. Gets people talking about that.
  8. to some degree
  9. And it’s not an ego thing, like I won’t get paid, but seeing those non HR as probable outs. So he has to adjust. Then adjust on the road. I think over a season that wears on a player. A guy coming in for the weekend will just play his game since it’s only 3 games. But a 7 game homestand means you need to try something.
  10. Nothing to see here… just a call for assassination and justifying rape. But hey… leave “the kid” alone. Only a demented person would defend this.
  11. and I think that's a fair thing for him to say. I just wonder to what extreme they really have to adjust between home and road. Does it mentally screw with you when you get all of it just to see it land in a glove in no man's land... in your home park mind you. I mentioned JD because he's knwon to be meticilous and thoughtful in his approach. I don't want cliche answers but the kinds of things they say to each other when the media isn't around. Of course the Tiger players will say they love it the way it is right now when it's their own organization. What would Riley Greene say in 5 years if he's playing in Arizona?
  12. that ruins the joke. That account is very well known. I subscribe to the Monty Python and Norm McDonald theory of humor. Don't explain it.
  13. I would like honest player feedback, especially from someone like JD Martinez who played here then left, about whether the park size impacts them on the road vs at home. I believe it messes with their heads but I never claim to be an expert on such things so it's just me talking here.
  14. This is.... weird and offensive and those two men should be fired and put on a sex offender registry. If I were her father I might end up in jail. What the did was rape.
  15. I would say this is un ****ing believable but it really is believable.
  16. Do you know how many palestinian supporters are out there claiming Hamas are not terrorists? That Oct 7 was fake or an inside job? Any innocent Palestinians who are dying are dying because of Hamas.
  17. Hamas cares even less about Palestinians dying than Israel does. To them they are martyrs and the more that die the better their cause.
  18. But it wasn't as easy or pervasive. You didn't have people with common back injuries suddenly develop crippling addictions that often ended their lives. The opioid crisis didn't act to serve a need that was already there, it created a problem that didn't exist. Pain management became a market for drug addiction to flourish and all the perils that came with it, not the other way around. Many many lives were ruined that didn't have to happen because of that crisis. The victims weren't already out there looking for scores.
  19. Did he know that we have 3 casinos within walking distance of Comerica Park?
