  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. McKinstry and Vierling are the same person to me.
  5. 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%.
  6. 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.
  7. Didn’t y’all see Clear and Present Danger? In the book Cutter steps in front of a bus. “I have an autographed get out of jail free card…… You don’t have one of these do you Jack?”
  8. Game is resuming tomorrow at 1 pm.
  9. Looking at the radar there’s no way they resume this game.
  10. So that HR may not count?
  11. The changes they talk about are most likely what they refer to as “enhancing the fan experiences “ which means a corporate sponsored area that will involve fans spending more money.
  12. I don’t know what there is to fix. If they make the wall shorter then you’d have to do massive structural changes to the seating area in RF. Behind that wall is a concrete barrier and that’s the base of the steps and seating base.
  13. Looking at their schedule and results on their BR page.... I forgot they started 2-9. then they were 1-11 to start June. That means.... they were..... 71-63 in the other games 😉 Of course every team can do that game so it doesn't mean anything concrete but I think the team is on the upslope. The only reason I point that out is I felt like they could win every game. They were not outmatched and had the players. Not a good team but not a bad one either. It wouldn't take much of a change for htem to lose a game... or win one. But this is the easy part of a rebuild and it's years in the making so it's almost a requirement to get here and to not be here would be blatant disregard of duty.
  14. It also speaks to the double standard conservatives employ about, I think it's called Originalism? "we have to go by what they said.... no exceptions" "well that's not what they were referring to..."
  15. how did you guys like the stringdusters? I've seen them twice, I think.
  16. and it would be an absolute zoo down there with sellouts at both stadiums. I recall game 3 of the ALDS in 2014 was during a Lions home game but the Tigers were down 0-2 already in the series.
  17. This sentiment gets shared almost daily by my right wingers on social media.
  18. We were able to do this before before technology and instant communication and computers. We can figure something out. We need these people.
  19. It was in reference to Eagle Pass getting 4000 migrants a day. Why can't we build entry points like Ellis Island today?
  20. I saw a tweet that said Ellis Island used to process 5K a day for years. Why can't we do that now?
  21. Menendez is going to switch parties. Just watch. And the GOP will welcome him.
  22. I think just to give him a chance for one final ovation as he runs off the field. Who knows.
  23. Ultra MAGA boostrap pulling business owner capitalist: "I can't find workers. Nobody wants to work. People are lazy. I invested 500K of my own hard earned money and can't stay open" Same ultra MAGA bootstrap pulling busines owner capitalist: "Why are we letting in these immigratns to take away real American jobs?"
