Context matters too in terms of that quote, if he said it. Was he complaining or just saying "Hey, what do you want me to do? I hit it hard? All I can do is hit it hard."

Hopefully the secret service investigates that. what he's doing is a crime.

oh man that's the worst. Anything involving multiple people. We are going through it. A cousin has a medical issue that will deteriorate and she wanted all the cousins to get together. A person took charge and found a place in Georgia. A tad expensive but I'm ok with it since it's for our cousin and I won't miss that money in 3 years. Booked our flight, got our car.... now the person in charge is like "Well they aren't giving us the discount and I know some people thought it was expensive.... what if we all met in December instead in Michigan?" Then you have a bunch of other cousins saying "yeah, that's good" and others saying "We can't guarantee our availability", blah blah blah. Just a cluster. it's my wife's cousin so it's all the females handling it. I told my wife to tell them "We will be flying into Jacksonville that weekend to go somewere... if anybody wants to join us they are welcome to"

Sixto Sanchez... in HS we had a team party before the playoffs and the Tigers were playing the White Sox. This was spring 1990. The starter for the Sox was Melido Perez. A coach says to me as we're eating pizza... "You tell me a guy named Melido Perez doesn't smoke cocaine"

I’ve never heard of him either.

They don’t know what the word means. It can also be a byproduct of the forced patriotism shoved down our throats post 9/11. “What’s wrong with these fine military boys in charge? They are nice kids. Support our troops Commie!”

But who else should they have taken? Maybe we are arguing semantics. Someone earlier used the word “annoying” by comparing it to Baltimore’s 1:1 fortunes and I agree with that. You are at the mercy of the players in that draft. For me to use the word disappointment would mean someone made a poor decision. I don’t see that here with Tork.

But I view that as simply fate. It wasn’t a Matt Bush vs Justin Verlander situation and my team guessed wrong on who to pick. I save my disappointment for times when someone didn’t execute or do their work. In this case the Tigers couldn’t have done anything different. Draft picks are lottery tickets and our scratch off paid out $2.

I would be mildly disappointed but not really surprised as most hitters drafted will not be as good as Rob Deer.

Yet create a database of gun owners? GTFO Commie.

Look....I'm not saying Rob Deer was good or anything... but he doesn't deserve to be some kind of poster child either.

it's on my shelf

Tony Paul had a thing up today. Their deal ended April 30 and Bally claims they were blindsided by the decision to pull the games since they were still negotiated. They were working off a six month extension. Xfinity says only 30% of their viewers watch Bally. They want to move the channel to a higher tier, one where you get the league networks, etc. as they claim most of their Bally viewers already have. The implication being they would then lower the bill for everyone else (Yeah, right).

There's a quote attributed to Sparky and this story justifies it... "Being nice to people is the easiest thing in the world. It don't cost nothing"

I hate Sabra hummus but in the Seinfeld "It offends me as a comedian" way. I had no idea of it's ownership status, or that Sabra meant what they said "A jew born in Israel". And Sabra Price is Right is one of the funniest SNL sketches ever. There's about 15 catch phrases from this sketch my friends and I use to this day... and this proves Tom Hanks could have been one of the best cast members ever if he chose to.

The years 2018-2022 all blend together for me...

the guy having the gun in is hand will be all that's required for him to get away with it. Anything at all in the situation where an officer can say "Well I was scared" and that's all it takes. They are grooming us to live in a police state where cops are not public servants but authority figures who can order us around at any time to do what they demand and if we don't then they can shoot us. If you don't like your neighbor just call the cops and say there's a disturbance over there. Then they can just show up and blast him.

Whether he went looking to kill a young black man or not is irrelevant. He did. We give cops way too many excuses and outs. They are the ones with the guns and firearms 101 is you are responsible for the bullets that come out and who they hit. This idea that all they have to do is say "police" and they are absolved of any kind of guilt because "well we were scared". is absurd. You want to go rob or kill someone? Go to their door and start pounding on it, then say the word "police". At that point anybody inside should put their guns down and do whatever they say, otherwise they will shoot you.

Regarding a "good trade"... who do you propose moving that would bring back good players? Other GM's want to make good trades too so they won't give up quality for crap. The Tigers don't have a lot of quality to move.

several times Stormy didn't accept the premise of the defense attorney's argment and twisted things back on her to show that... yeah she was lying in her questions... I.E. "So you said blah blah blah....." Stormy: "I didnt say that. Show me where I said that" Attorney shows tweet where she didn't say that and they discuss the fact she didn't say that. Whether that kind of thing impacts a jury.... who knows. I havne't followed that closely but it is news to me that he is denying the sex. Of course what has he said under oath?

Harris has and had no say in Miggy being here last year and Javy being here this year and next. He’s not in a position to cut them. Not yet at least. This year was always a transition. I know it frustrates fans after the previous 6-7 years but that’s not the fault of Scott Harris. He’s cleaning up and evaluating what’s left I’m grateful I get to watch a team that will probably be in a position to win each game. As for trades…. Nobody wants our ****. Why do fans think there’s value in crappy players? The logic of “this team and org stinks. They should make some trades”. If they could make the trades… they wouldn’t have to make them.

one person on twitter softened his tone quite a bit once he got a podcast gig and talked to the guy once.

and I'm sure some law will protect the murderers. It was murder. No accountability. I have zero faith that anything under Ron DeSantis will prosecute and convict a cop from shooting a black man.

and that's probably more accurate because to me "porn" is kind of a slang and subjective term and media outlets should be factual and, even though "We know it when we see it"... porn is not a straightforward term. They should also call it "extramarital affair with adult-film actress"
