I think it being the only series between the clubs the league is involved.

I'm just assuming there won't be baseball until Friday. Home Opener weather took a turn... breezy and mid 40's. But.... it's been worse.

I grew up and still live in a flight path of DTW and I didn’t notice it.

Regarding tipping at the ballpak… on the kiosks. I was told on 3 occasions by workers to not tip there. They don’t get it. I mean I guess they do somehow but it’s split among everybody and the implication I got was we aren’t doing what’s in the spirit. In one scenario the machine was acting up so she took over and said “hit zero for that, you don’t want that” and on another occasion I tipped and the worker said “just so you know we don’t really see that. It gets spread out”. So now I don’t. Especially since the ballpark went cashless. I always tipped a few books for the seat vendor who’s hauling a few cases.

I’m not informed enough to say whether this puts FL in play for Biden but I will say it helps Biden bigly because now the depleted Republic party has to spend resources in what was considered a safe state.

In some markets I suppose TV overrides the attending fans. NY and LA appears to be the only games starting after 7 today and tomorrow and Wednesday.

It’s 3 games in the rear views mirror. They only have to play .500 ball the rest of way to have a winning record.

Our priest told a joke last week at a memorial. “St Peter is showing a new arrival around Heaven. He approached a room and tells the guy “this is where the Baptists are. Be quiet when you walk by. They think they are the only ones here”.

2021. Then they lost like 20 of 25.

If this is true then I guess I’m ok with it. But for gods sake it’s not “great” pizza. I don’t think anybody even within the company would claim that. Tork needs to go on an adventure next off day in Detroit.

Can’t blame Tork on that. It bounced up in no man’s land.

I guess it was overdue to become commercialized. I was under the impression it was player driven and organic. But now I assume they will utilize the new scoreboard to show them celebrating then we will get the “pizza pizza” sound bite and cartoon clip. curtain calls will soon be sponsored

That is so bad. I get the teams do this now and the hockey stick and helmet was good because it showed camaraderie with your fellow sports team. But now it’s just a ****ing advertisement for the corporate ownership? So so bad.

I think it will be Tim Scott or someone we haven’t really heard of.

He rubbed their faces in it some more today.

Wow. I remember. One thing I forgot about was how in 2020 we didn’t really have normal conventions. Will we this year or do you think they are a relic now? Republic convention will be a **** show and should help Biden quite a bit.

I don’t think we will see Bill or Hillary Clinton out campaigning. Like was said…this is fundraising. One reason will be his age. He sounds and looks really old. Like Richard Lewis on Curb old. You don’t want him and Biden representing today’s Democratic Party. Biden is fine doing it since he is the President. Clinton can use his magic on the behind the scenes financiers to convince them it will continue to be ok. Trump is not going to have that network out on his behalf.

They think it’s the Heisman where they anoint someone early in and it’s up to them to either lose it or someone overtake them.

I stayed conservative as you all know but on the far libertarian side I immediately recognized the crackpot side. You’d read a newsletter and it all sounds fine but then look in the ads and the end and you see some white national stuff. It was there around the edges. Jon Coon was the libertarian candidate for senate, I think 1994. I looked into him and it seemed ok. But again you see people around an event with questionable attire or flags. think of it like going to a church and you sense some cult like behavior.

I thought the same thing. And it looks like a thin crowd today in Chicago.

Yes. I don’t like it. Reminds me of the red wings preseason jerseys.
