  1. 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.
  2. I think Asst Manager at Wal Mart is a high bar for him. Those jobs aren't easy.
  3. Matt Shepard out as TV broadcaster.
  4. Tigers Twiiter: Team needs to spend Tigers Twitter: I can't wait for these bloated contracts to come off the books
  5. 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.
  6. Where is the sphere located? Is it behind the Venetian?
  7. I think that's his main lawyer. You can tell why he hired her.
  8. Should I merge this and the off season thread ?
  9. 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?
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. After Nader in 2000 and Stein in 2016 I think the hard core left learned their lesson.
  15. Miggy will steal a base before the season is over.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. The Club announced that Cabrera will be named as special assistant to POBO Scott Harris. I wonder if he's going to keep his mansion on Lake St. Clair.
  19. If he wasn't signed to that contract by the Tigers 2 years before FA would he have reached 3000 hits or 500 HR? Would a team have extended him this far into his career given how he played the last 3-4 years? The other members of that group have a lot more HR and quite few more hits. In fact, if you extend it to 700 HR, 3000 hits, 600 doubles, and .300 average suddenly Miggy is left out but the others are still in the club. He's part of the club but barely and the others are far ahead of him. Those are convenient groupings but I don't think any less of Barry Bonds who ONLY got 2935 hits and therefore can't be included in that group. He also had twice as many walks as Cabrera.
  20. McKinstry and Vierling are the same person to me.
  21. Drudge is teasing that a late entry into the GOP race would shake things up. Have no idea who that would possibly be. People like Ryan or Romney are certified RINO establishment types. It'll just be someone who will max out at 7%.
  22. My fear for that scenario is then the drug cartels bring the war into the US where we start to see kidnappings, reporters shot, judges blown up, etc on our soil. If we can bring it to them then they will bring it to us.
