  1. It was something to do with their ear pieces. One guy who complained is a die hard who follows them.
  2. People I know who went to their latest LCA show said it was a disaster... and I think Daltry admitted they ****ed up the sound.
  3. Kyle Schwarber has hit a HR in the AL Wild Card,NL Wild Card, ALDS, NLDS, ALCS, NLCS, WS, and WBC Pool PLay and WBC Championship.
  4. My wife saw Rick Springfield last week and I wanted to go dressed like Rahad and run around saying "He's a buddy of mine!"
  5. I’ll never forget when in an early game Ausmus left him in the game during a challenging situation. People ripper Ausmus. Mark came in to explain that a knock against Norris in the minors something like lacking a killer instinct or something like that. So Ausmus was probably testing him. That stuck with me.
  6. I think that's actually the first time I figured out what he looked like. I'm like "Who is that?" "Ohh....."
  7. Don't forget Tommy's tallywacker being enthusiastically pulled by the female gym teacher.
  8. Also a reminder of how fast the game moves. The mind to body timing is a long time relatively speaking. Adrenaline too.
  9. It's almost like things happen outside of anyone's control and the basic laws of economics take over....
  10. Well he's got Secret Service with him at all times and they work for the Gov't. They are equipped to lift and carry him for safety so they can lift and carry him for extradition. If his private security get in the way then there's an armed conflict and they are aiding and abetting a fugitive. SHove him into a big black SUV and off he goes. DeSantis won't lift a finger for him anymore.
  11. Initially Diamond said he wrote it about his wife but needed a 3 syllable word so he came up with Caroline. Later on he said he was inspired by a photo of Caroline Kennedy in her riding gear. She was born in 57, the song was written in 69. https://americansongwriter.com/meaning-of-neil-diamonds-sweet-caroline-song-lyrics/ Yesterday was the anniversary of Elvis dying. We all know about Priscilla and how old she was. I agree with CMU97. Mores change over time. My sister was 16 when she got married in 1966.
  12. The good news is the bandbox should help Tork get a few more dingers. The bad news is the bandbox should help Cleveland get a few more dingers.
  13. I went back to the mid 70s and Tigers with more homers in their age 23 years are Fryman (for now) in 92 and 93 and Nokes in 87.
  14. We have 6 large ones... pretty much our only thing that grew/survived this year. There's been deer in our neighborhoods and they ate our tomato and pepper plants.
  15. but the caveat to that is if a remote agent is a selling point for him compared to other agents? Would a buyer/seller be reluctant to go with him if they know he's working for the Tigers all the time from March thru September? It could affect his draw as an agent. My brother in law does real estate on the side, he loves it. It's his passion. He's also a full time teacher, and is very very good at it. Only keeps that job b/c of the benefits. He is very active on social media but doesn't mention anything about teaching for fear potential customers will think he isn't giving them 100% of his efforts. I think it's silly myself but whatever... But Dirks is very good on the mic. As a fan I would love it. The first time I heard him I assumed it was another industry person b/c he was very crisp at it. Seemed like he'd been doing it a long time.
  16. yeah that's what I'm getting at. I know from family experience that the job involves lots of last minute tasks and would he be able to, or want, to do both? An active agent has assistants to handle things like going to various city halls for this or that (My mother in law does that for my brother in law) in addition to showings, closings, etc. If you are good and buy/sell a lot of good priced houses you can make good money.... is a radio/TV gig today worth more? Not sure.
  17. Would Fox News dare not cover it if it were televised?
  18. oh wow....that was a high school song for us. Became a running gag with his extended vocals at the end. High School humor. You had to be there.
  19. I wonder if Dirks is interested in a full time gig?
  20. music.... Ted Nugent. Chuck Berry. Bob Seger even used a line in Let it Rock. "Too damn cute to be a minute over 13". American Beauty won an Oscar for Best Picture and a plot point was Spacey lusting after his HS neighbor. It wasn't presented as creepily as it should have been at the time.
  21. I have nearly the same photo. I wasn't there but a neighbor was and he had duplicates and gave me that one. I'm not even sure we all knew who she was then. When it came out not long after about her age everyone was like "Well, they're Russian so...."
  22. I'm going to see Brandi Carlisle tomorrow with Pink.
  23. Bears repeating how Trumpism exposed Evangelicals for frauds. Everything they ever said about Clinton personally applied to Trump but they didn't care because it was always about politics. At the time they could use morality to shield it and try to give them some high ground.
  24. Seeing ejections makes me think of Neil Armstrong in the Lunar Landing Training vehicle. Stuck thrusters or something. Note the ejection path. He was about a second from being at the wrong angle. He got a busted lip. Typical of him he got dressed and went back to his office to do paperwork to startled colleagues after they heard what happened. Just another day at the office for this unassuming legend. Another Apollo astro, Ted Freeman, who never flew in space, was the first fatality in the program. His T-38 ran into some geese and and got sucked into the intake and the engine flamed out. He tried to land and had to bank to avoid houses and ejected almost horizontally. Chute never got a chance to deploy.
  25. and remember... ole Mike is a God Fearing Pastor.
