  1. Which is all contained in the quote of his I posted. It’s just that you are somehow against it but also for it. Put another way when the real meaning is revealed and understood in its barest it’s embarrasses or shames you so you need to bark something about “context”. Nice try. You are ok with dead kids scattered about in churches and schools as long as you and guys like these shooters can get your guns.
  2. So what he’s saying is true and therefore you should have no issue when peoole reaffirm that point? Charlie just took one for the team.
  3. It needs to be brought up more in the context of lazy stories about the “collapse” of the Tigers. 20-5.
  4. Do you believe what he said is true, or not? Do you believe he thinks (or thought) it true. Your other points are irrelevant to that understanding. If one thinks that’s a fair trade then you can’t whine or mourn when one gets popped on the neck from a lunatic who had easy access to it. Every victim is someone to their family. We don’t only mourn when it’s someone “famous”.
  5. That’s dumb. Who’s to say a guy is a P or not? Do players get defined as such ? What’s the criteria for determining if a player is a pitcher? How does it technically work? Like in Ohtani’s case? Couldn’t teams just say the same for others ?
  6. Maybe Cora can help a brother out and put a position player in. Does aBoston have seeding implications with a win?
  7. Yeah don’t do that. And yeah I agree.
  8. It’s my fault. I was already figuring out logistics on how to deal with 3 2pm games Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday
  9. I always think of him during one of the red wings playoff runs when the org had to come up with a slogan. One year it was “get up!” So during the pregame promo lane yells out “let’s get it up!”
  10. But I just ran 9 miles
  11. Isn’t that what he has now? I don’t know if all of that is fair. I don’t hold it against a guy who wants to strive for the top in his profession.
  12. Yes. But I don’t think our win tomorrow has to happen for Cleveland at Detroit if they lose both games. After tonight the Tigers are a game up if they lose.
  13. Same calendar date as last year they clinched the playoffs.
  14. These are their old ones. Boston marathon colors. They wore them on the day of the race. I believe it was the organic version of the city connect concept. Like “we have this. It’s unique to us. We like to honor it”. Then of course it becomes commercialized and everybody has to make up fake ones. the ones last night were their connect jerseys.
  15. Garden City's Villa Bakery sells 1,000 'Kmart subs' before noon Friday https://www.detroitnews.com/story/entertainment/dining/2025/09/26/garden-citys-villa-bakery-sells-1000-kmart-subs-before-noon-friday/86366625007/
  16. Good things happen when we play NYY in the playoffs
  17. I’m setting up the outdoor projector and having a fire outside for this game.
  18. I don't want any indoor baseball opponents. That's not real baseball. Call it metrodome PTSD or whatever.... even if the roof can be opened it doesn't count.
  19. In one of his books Bill James talked about Stan Musial. He had an unusual "down" year, by his standards. Must have been 1947 based on his stats? Anyway, James said he was trying to find something in the numbers to figure out why. He was age 26. His prime. He had been great in the years before and after. Won MVP the year before and after. It was his second year back after WWII service. When James met him he asked about that season and Stan said they had just had a kid and he wasn't a good sleeper and kept him up at night. He still had a good year just not a Stan Musial year.
  20. yeah that's what I meant. I can't get used to these new terms.
  21. and selfishly the math for me to go to more playoff games. But there's also the math in saving money. And a win in the WC series means I'll get at least one ALDS game. So yeah, count me in now on the saving him. When I bought these tickets last Tuesday, before the 0-6 homestand, I adamantly dismissed the WC round as a possiblity when talking with someone else about the cost breakdown per round.
  22. It could mean 3 games at home vs 3 on the road.... I'm not sure I agree with the sentiment to save him for the ALDS. Not a hill I'd die on though.
  23. they made a bobblehead for him and gave it out to fans. Hunter should have made the catch
