  1. That's the video. Why does he say "buh-lack"? This guy's racist to the core. It cannot be defended.
  2. NObody's pitching tonight 🙂
  3. Good point. Pence was boring. All he had was calling his wife "mother".... which isn't that odd to people in the south. Trump and Weird is baked in already. People are numb to it. It's how he was before he was a politician. But JD's weird stuff is more real and not as tabloidish.
  4. that's why I think "they're just weird" can work. Yes, I don't get how somebody can be in a "will I vote for him or her" mode at this point. I don't think this is about that. It's "why should I vote?" By reminding people that this is what you have to look forward to for 4 years. Combine that with abortion and I think it can work. With Biden on the ticket I think the non voters are a lot higher. Now I think more of them will vote for Harris than they would Trump. Call them weird when they say or do something weird. But that can't be the focus of the campaign. Still need to talk about what you will do or won't do.
  5. This is just some schmo making broad assumptions based on rumor and innuendo from other people also making broad assumptions. The availability of these pseudo publications and "anybody can have a podcast" platforms elevates them to a position they don't deserve so fans think they have some behind the scene perspectives. They have as much insight as anybody posting on this site, meaning what they read on the twitter. Like... maybe the reservations the Yankees had were also held by all the other teams, hence the "lower" deal that ultimately was had? (I'm not conceding they were but I'll go along with their argument to make my point) Flaherty has pitched well this year and I would have been fine keeping him and I'd be fine having him next year and the year after... but he's also a guy with an injury history in the past, was benched last year in the playoffs, and missed a start recently and had two injections... so tell me again why he was supposed to bring in ML ready prospects? Outrage sells and gets the clicks.
  6. I'm not sure I follow the flaw in asking for too much and waiting until the end. Are you supposed to ask for less up front and hope they offer more? I don't buy any reporting that's out there, at least not from the Tigers side. They don't leak and I refuse to believe our beat writers have any inside knowledge. They're just as in the dark as we are. The thing with the Yankees came from them to save face, a real bush league move if you ask me.
  7. For you @smr-nj
  8. Well obviously “Scotty boy” should have forced them to accept it.
  9. That’s what I was trying to convey on twitter. All these clowns bashing the deal based on these lists that are out there which don’t represent any of their own personal observations. These are just names on a screen or sheet of paper. Organizations have their own systems of valuation. We don’t know how the other teams valued Flaherty and we don’t know how the Tigers valued everybody else. These opinions are largely derived from things created back in February. Yet everybody is an expert because they see a Jim Bowden tweet.
  10. More likely Harris or someone else brushed off Evan so now he has to get even.
  11. I saw a tweet already expressing some progressives not liking it because… you know…/ he’s Jewish.
  12. Yeah I think Trump is big on image and being portrayed as “cool” and being made fun of is not going over well. And the bad press for Vance is eating at him. Trump has no principles and I know deep down despises these people, the evangelicals, and now he’s finding himself at their table in the school gym surrounded by everybody else. It’s been an evolution and since Harris took over a lot of people are now paying attention who weren’t before.
  13. But as long as they don’t have to vote for the black girl then their conscience is clear.
  14. dang it, I flubbed the line anyway. "Who own da chiefs?"
  15. This isn't weird.... this is some sick nazi ****
  16. If I were a manager I would just start pulling guys mid game to mess with everybody.
  17. Didn't realize tomorrow was an off day. Yeah they traditionally do day games on getaway.
  18. I must be in the minority because I really don't give a **** whether they trade Flaherty. There's something to be said to me for having a better team now than you would a year from now. This team is short on SP and it makes it more fun when the team can win and he makes it more likely they will win.
  19. I don't know what NPC is and I don't care enough to learn. I figure if that's your thing then you are probably weird too.
  20. If you use Apple Pay I would suggest using that to sign up for any type of subscriptions. It makes the cancelling process so much easier. If you go to Settings, then type in Subscriptions, it will tell you which ones you have, the next billing date, etc. If you want to cancel, you do it there. No annoying websites to log into, or forms to fill out, or chat bots to deal with. I once tried to cancel a Detroit News subscription and it was almost painful as cancelling Sirius. It's also nice to have it all in one spot to find.
  21. They do them on Thursdays, or on getaway days during the week when it's a Wednesday. Also if there's fireworks in Detroit.
  22. Why is this a day game?
