I'm glad I scheduled my haircut for today. Got to put on some nice clothes.

DTE spent a few months in my neighborhood a few years ago, going yard by yard, doing extensive tree trimming. My neighborhood's "name" has the word Woods in it... so lots of trees. Frankly I think it's just a matter of staying on top of keeping the power lines as clear as possible from any branches or limbs that may fall off or fly away. Not much you can do when a storm blows in and lines get hit with flying wood. To add a third point to G2's items.... increased extreme weather. This year has been crazy. Didn't rain at all in May. But I don't recall having this number of severe and intense bursts of rain. It might rain for 3 minutes but it's an extremely hard rain.

Coaches should have to sit out 2 years, unpaid, if they leave while on a contract.

Clarify: The Hilton Garden is an exception. I don’t know if it’s technically Greektown but it’s close by. It’s fine to stay there.

Don’t stay in Greektown. It’s not what it used to be.

I was there and said in the 10th you can now use Mr Singles to get the runner in.

A manager isn't going to bash his player and say what I said, they are going to give a bull**** answer. The result may have been what Hinch was expecting. But he has to convince Harris of that.

I'll throw this out there.... Hinch doesn't make the moves, Harris does. So you have to show Harris the data. The data in this case is performance. You have 25 guys on the roster and for better or worse they have to perform. If you cannot bring out a hitter like Haase then why is he on the team?

I bet they would also argue it's to help pay for the CC equipment and phone line and all that other jazz.... which again is a cost of doing business. When I buy a pizza they don't say "Well it's an extra 25 cents because I had to buy a new door". I would push back and say "Well the lack of physical money saves you time and risk from not having to deal with cash and going to the bank and being robbed, making mistakes, etc." I had a low tire on Grosse Isle last week and the only gas station on the Island had a cool air feature. IT's computerized, you tell it how much pressure you want and it stops automatically. And it took credit card. No fishing for quarters, who the hell has quarters anymore. It was $2

The first time I experienced Dead culture in person was in 2016 at Pine Knob. It was the nicest and most polite crowd at a concert I ever saw. Bumping into people in crowded lines and such.... no problem. Everybody was so cool. "Hey man, excuse me... sorry about that dude..." "It's all good..". There was a instagram reel I saw of two young ladies who were complaining they were told they were seeing a John Mayer concert and instead it was a Grateful Dead concert. They were decked out in daisy dukes and halter tops expecting to dance to pop bubble gum love songs.

According to some models the rain may start as early as 2. I say keep tomorrow's day game as it is for those customers who already bought tickets for htat, then move tonight's night game to tomorrow night. So you tell fans to come down Thursday evening instead of Wednesday evening. But again... maybe the players themselves prefer this route instead of playing tomorrow evening. As usual the consideration of the fans is the last item for discussion.

Detroit travels to Miami and Anaheim travels to Toronto. No reason they can't play 2 tomorrow. Unless of course the players and org are ok with slogging through the crap today. Who knows.

This is a game that shows how judging pitchers by ERA can be tricky. Granted defense goes both ways so you can't say "Well it should have been 6-2" or whatever because if you remove your own miscues then in fairness you remove theirs... but in evaluating pitchers, ERod deserved better. His defense let him down.

They need to just postpone this now. Play 2 tomorrow. Besides Beyonce is at Ford Field and nobody wants to deal with all that traffic.

I really enjoyed it. My son told me he kept hearing “woke” instead of communism. I would watch again in a heartbeat.

Lance Parrish.

Was Abby Elliot pregnant in real life? Her face looked like it. Fun trivia, she's the only SNL cast member who was a child of a cast member. Chris was on during the horrible mid 90's period, before the turnover to the Will Ferrell led cast.

so it's your belief if they didn't send the can of beer to the trans person that the good old country/frat boys would have been just as mad?

I don't know about you but when I think of Travis Tritt and Kid Rock the first thing that comes to mind is "fratty".

I know, that's why I say it was debunked.

I'd throw out the thousands of other two sport athletes throughout history at the HS and college level that couldn't do it. He was picked in the 37th round of the MLB draft. I'm not saying he couldn't have it or wouldn't have but the odds say he wouldn't. That's true for the vast majority of players drafted.

It's been debunked but I still love the theory that Donny wasn't real, just a figment of Walter's imagination. The theory being that nobody else actually talks to him and he's some remnant from a Vietnam flashback. It's the kind of thing I could see the Coens putting out there to have people pick apart.

Finished The Bear. All I will say is every walk in cooler I have been in had a plunger type thing you pushed to open the door from the inside.

The odds say no.
