  1. yes I did notice. I liked it. Traditional teams like the Cards, Yankes, Sox, and Tigers should stick to theirs but I dont' mind the newer teams mixing it up. I love the Tigres jerseys though. They are beautiful. I would refer that style, with Tigers I guess, over the current home uniforms.
  2. Do these knuckleheads like Baseball Dan and Ari Fleischer really believe the dems should have helped? Or are they just trying to parrot the company line. Democrats dont want a GOP sppeaker. When presented with a chance to get rid of one then they should act. THe same would hold true with Republicans.
  3. The uniforms, or "fit" as the kids say today, has been a small bright spot for me. Makes me hate the new Tigers home uniforms even more.
  4. Mario was a pro in the sense that he could easily go do a basketball game the next night and not miss a beat. You didnt notice him. Which to some could be a plus. On TV though you don't really need someone to always tell you the action as you can see it, of course the flip to that is a lot of people today watch TV by "having it on while playing on their phone or reading a book". But in that scenario do you need to hear everything? Banter with your PBP is important. That's why the players only broadcasts didn't bother me. SOmething different
  5. Now that Rod has a job I think it’s possible Mario came back. Slim but possible. If they brought him back and not Rod then they open themselves up to a lawsuit I believe. And throw in the race angle. Just not worth the hassle and both were at fault even if one was more at fault. In that situation you just move on.
  6. Maybe people want cover. If you did it quickly and all at once then you can’t see the trend and vote with the wind.
  7. I think Asst Manager at Wal Mart is a high bar for him. Those jobs aren't easy.
  8. Matt Shepard out as TV broadcaster.
  9. Tigers Twiiter: Team needs to spend Tigers Twitter: I can't wait for these bloated contracts to come off the books
  10. Continuing the trend that dems are expected to behave like it's 1991 and not 2023. They have to play nice and old school congeniality while the GOP can run amok and break norms.
  11. Where is the sphere located? Is it behind the Venetian?
  12. I think that's his main lawyer. You can tell why he hired her.
  13. Should I merge this and the off season thread ?
  14. I don’t want any more Jordan Zimmermans or Javier Baez contracts. What’s the success rate on FA signings? 5-1 against? Low risk guys on 1-2 year deals are fine to look for lightning but nothing that drags you down. Who is out there to sign this winter?
  15. Maybe he just a regular glove. Then again, maybe he was under orders to not play catch, even a little bit, lest he pull something.
  16. Not a bad plan. Don't spend just to spend. As for predictions. Obviously there's no relation other than a belief in Karma but the Lions are doing very well so far and have a lot of upside and people are stoked. The Red Wings and Tigers are in somewhat similar growth areas. Playoffs is attainable but nobody's saying it's a concrete goal. Is it too much for Detroit Sports fans to ask for 3 teams to finally arrive? It's happened before in this city.
  17. I haven't been paying attention to stuff much this weekend, I went to all 3 Tiger games, but this one confuses me. He wanted to delay a vote on something he voted for? People are saying the sign was confusing? The alarm was in a different building? Doesn't he know there's cameras everywhere? Where I work out in the gym there's a fire alarm door that exits outside. Right next to a door that goes upstair sto the track. At least once a month, in the 6 hours I am in that gym, someone opens that door, despite it being bright red, with an awkard handle, and a huge sign.
  18. They didn't want to, and many of them didn't, because they assumed she'd win anyway. But if they could redo their vote I bet they would have.
  19. After Nader in 2000 and Stein in 2016 I think the hard core left learned their lesson.
  20. Miggy will steal a base before the season is over.
  21. I have a good wife. We went last night and are going tomorrow. This morning around 10 she says “you should find a ticket”. So I did. $25 in the last row in RF. Definitely a playoff level crowd today. But with that you get people who don’t know what they are doing.
  22. but I don't think minimally reaching a nice round number elevates him in any meaningful way historically against other players. That's my point.
