  1. I don't think he'll play first but I suspect if he gets a base hit in any of his at bats he will be pulled for a PR. Unless it's in the first inning as people will still be filing in and will miss it.
  2. Things I didn't know until this morning. He did music too. And you've definitely heard of this one. I also learned a few weeks ago that Billy Squire has made millions from people sampling his riffs.
  3. I'd like to watch that because I suspect Gavin will rip him to shreds. DeShantis is not used to pushback.
  4. He did it on purpose. He wants to push the issue so he can once again play victim. He wants to both raise money and show that norms and consistency no longer matter in our country. He will prove that he’s above the law.
  5. The Marlins gave him booze too.... but a lot of other stuff too.
  6. I did not know that about Ryan and that ****s alll over the old school talk about todays pitchers being pansies and not real men like Nolan. Then they bitch that he never won a Cy Young and if you ask when should he have won they just being career stats.
  7. What’s with all these democrats calling on him to resign? Both parties are the same right? So it should be called a witch hunt and attacks on agents and prosecutors.
  8. I didn't think the Biden DOJ went after democrats?
  9. I've seen the Infamous Stringdusters a few times. When I got the alert they were playing at Pine Knob it puzzled me as it seemed a little big time for them, now I see why. Should be a good show. I've seen Bob Weir's solo show too.
  10. Jerry Reed was a good picker too...
  11. Team is 12-7 in Sept. I'd like to see 78 wins. That would be the most since Verlander played on the team.
  12. Car Dealerships.... where everyone gets a trophy. Ever notice how every one of them has all the top awards. I will say this... finding techs is extremely difficult now for the dealers. That affects the ability to service. It's a constant topic of conversation in my line of work. What usually happens is you get a good one then they find a "desk type" job with a supplier putting that real world talent to use upstream after a few years of wrenching and busting their knuckles.
  13. Maybe he didn't think it was fair to hire one over the other.... and it leaves them open to getting a GM job elsewhere if that interests them. In one sense you can say "Hey, you guys got to keep your jobs during a regime change, not many people can say that... now show us something."
  14. That's the new way. In order to get these top baseball guys from other organizations you have to give them top titles. What used to be the GM until the last 15 years or so was what the Presidents of Baseball Ops people do today. Organizations have gotten much larger and roles exist today that didn't back then so you have to give them titles and create a hierarchy. Jim Campbell reported to the owner. He was the equivalent of PBO. Now the GM reports to PBO and scouts and other staff report through him. Scott Harris was always going to be the key baseball person.
  15. Has Tigers twitter started ripping on him yet? We should ask him what he would have done with Jeimer last year.
  16. and Cubs before that Seeing what he did with the Hawks is impressive and the kind of thing a GM does nowadays.
  17. I was in the Newark airport in May. It was a layover before flying to Aruba. On the way down we got breakfast sandwiches and juice. I just looked at my AMEX from that time, $33.04. On the way back we got dinner, just burgers/sandwiches. Don't think I had a real drink. That was $53.25. This was for two people mind you.
  18. google has become increasily irrelevant to me it seems over the last few months. Basic searches return ads and links to videos. I hate watching videos. I want text. Don't trust ChatGPT yet.
  19. Because they are programmed and to think Mexicans and Ukraine gets all the money.
  20. My algorithm for YouTube gives me a ton of Eisen and Pollack clips. The one where he talks about Nicholson is great… referring to Chinatown and Angelica.
  21. Speaking of OnlyFans the other day I drove up to a car with an Onlyfans sticker on it. Tinted windows including the front so I couldn’t see who was driving. It puzzled me. If it’s a performer that seems dangerous. Why would a subscriber do that?
  22. If I were a doctor I would need a cheat sheet posted somewhere.
