Game 1 is scheduled to be in Boston is Friday. Tim McGraw has a concert Friday night at TD garden. See how that plays out.

I still can’t believe I hear people say that about Detroit. They freaking live at 23 mile and Gratiot and act like working downtown is being in south central LA in 1989. I made a comment to a family member a while back about a locally well known place in West Village. “You go into Detroit? For coffee and pastries?” They couldn’t believe it. I said “yeah. And believe it or not there’s often a line out the door and it’s only white people. And the houses in that neighborhood probably cost more than yours”.

I just put the app on my smart TV and logged in. I have a Samsung.

I ended up getting the Ballys app. They have a 7 day trial and with any credit from xfinity that will offset. Hopefully they resolve their problem. I’m having a tree taken down today so a good opportunity to chill and watch afternoon baseball.

They have good seats. Just past 3B down the line. Tomorrow will be in upper deck above their spot tonight.

Their voters are too dumb to know any better so there’s no risk.

I'll ask her during the game

I took a screen shot of this in case she deletes it. She's the attorney general of Florida

My sister is part of this group. She sent a pic of Jason and Craig.

Spoiler Alert It doesn't happen a lot Remember how the Braves "fixed" Robbie Grossman?

Midjourney. Then I used Discord to generate the images using their commands. Don't ask me how, I forgot it already, but you were at a prompt and had write the command, followed by the text. Then they would be uploaded to the midjourney app.

listen to the bro yell at the end ...

I'm laughing so hard.... he really thought he was going to take down that cop or he would move out of the way? You think they gave the "They'll never take our freedom!" speech from Braveheart?

I subscribed for a month, it was fun at first but I was running out of ideas. A friend uses it because he creates content so he had a need. It was as much about learning how to ask for what you want as it was just getting a result. You have to figure out that balance between overloading it with details (It will ignore some) yet getting anything specific you really want.

I think he’s the favorite to carry his mantle forward. And Rubio… ? What a disaster. I can’t believe I wanted him to win in 2016.

I think that’s far less likely than trump winning the EC. Two reasons. They will now be better prepared. If Biden wins then they will have ramped up security big time. Trump has no infrastructure or apparatus behind like he did in 2020. Back then he had the defense and military and fbi and all that. Now it’s just him and some bad lawyers. Nobody has to take his phone calls. Defeated candidates are nobodies. I remember seeing a picture of Mitt Romney a day after the election in 2012 waiting in the taxi line at an airport. No staff. No secret service. He’s just a guy. The minute the campaign is over all the RNC cards are cutoff. You are just a regular schmo. Sure with Donald it is a little different as a former potus but he’s still not in any position of power to do anything.

Thats my gut but I’m too superstitious to put it in writing.

I might try it on my work laptop because I notice when using the vpn sometimes websites detect my location all over the place. I’m not that worried about it. Our laptop is basically used by my youngest son to just watch YouTube videos and our photos. if this is not resolved soon I also just may subscribe to Ballys. With my credit from xfinity it’s the price of a beer at Comerica park. Funny how that works. My decision to get another beer at a game is basically purely convenience. If I have to walk too far. No way. If they are right there… what’s $12??? But subscribing to my team for a month? That’s as much mental anguish was deciding to refinance or not.

This might be fake but who knows. I will believe it. It makes sense as to motive. As Drew Lane said “there’s a boner behind everything”

I know a few people who I am pretty sure voted for Trump in ‘16 and likely ‘20 say “**** it I will probably vote for Kennedy”

It's an old habit from when the Wings would play OT hockey against the likes of Winnepeg, Edmonton, Vancouver, or Calgary. Wake up and put the game on.

I have that essay bookmarked. The way he writes about Bernie Carbo is how I want to be remembered.

There's a scene in Almost Famous where after spending some time on the road with Stillwater, William Miller, the 15 year old journalist, greets the crew and everybody via nicknames and all of that. Just like he's one of the boys. I wonder if McCosky does that in the locker room. "What up Greenie! Mizer, how's the elbow? JR! I'm so jealous of your porn stache. I've been trying grow mine for 40 years"

No sunscreen? Of course they all look like vampires anyway so I guess they don't need it.

This disussion reminds me of the circular logic Jim Bouton complained about in Ball Four. The coaches always had an answer anytime a situation didn't go their way. Any time a hitter succeeded the pitcher was told "You can't throw that pitch in this situation." The old adage... "throw strikes but don't give them anything to hit" "Work the count..... but don't give away pitches". Ok. So when a guy like Tork swings at a 1st pitch FB and flys out it's "You can't just go after on the first pitch and let him off the work. Make him work". If he hits a HR it becomes "Look at that! He jumped all over a meatball"
