Mayor Adams should tweet her a middle finger and say "There's your apology you seditious skank"

I saw that right before his new "board" took over the governing of the site that the old board stripped themselves of a lot of power. All done in public meetings with proper notices. I am not sure about your question on Disney itself being an attraction but I can buy into the idea that it could phase out as Generation X and Y's kids begin to get older. I know a lot of people my age (almost 50) who go without their kids. Definitely still a nostalgia draw but it's very possible the lure of the magic kingdom is not being passed on to kids today, both young ones and those becoming adults. I get the sense that people are just taking their little ones to resorts in Cancun and the Carribean, often with other families. It's cheaper!!!!

I played OF in HS and always thought this and Kaline confirmed it. Balls hit right at you are the hardest to play because you don't instinctively know whether to go left or right. Plus you throw in that park with the high wall you probably hesitate in order to play it off the wall. You have to factor in that it will be too high to even bother trying to catch so your move is to play it the best way off the wall, then you realize it's "catchable" and are scrambling. The ball was also hit pretty hard, not much of an arc. With a normal height wall there's little chance of a rebound so you can go all out because it's either a HR or a catch. But with a trailing ball away from the LF you don't have the backup role by the CF as you would going the other way. If the ball was hit to his left instead of right he could have gone back straight away because Greene is there to field it if needed. All of those decisions in a second and half of action. I can't fault him for that.

Last week I was on youtube watching a documentary and the quality was shit. I noticed it was from a Smithsonian Channel program so I researched how to get that, discovered it was part of Paramount Plus. I signed up just so I could watch that documentary properly, it was part of a series. Holy hell there's a lot of good stuff on that service. I immediately filled up my list. I always thought HBO Max was the top streamer but I put this over that. And it's like 1/3 the price if you go with ads, which I don't mind.

There is definitely truth to this kind of thinking. Not sure about this particular case but overall the Lebanese, who have been here for a few generations, look down on Yemeni and Iraqi people here.

If he decided to go to Russia and hide forever, the logistics with the secret service would foul that up I assume. They need to to scout the area before hand. They'd probably tell him he can't go not just for the "fleeing" aspect but b/c of the war going on. I don't know the precedent for a former President butting heads with the Secret Service on travel wishes. If he stayed there then I assume the protective detail would be called home and he's on his own.

My buddy had Lions tickets going back to silverdome days. Finally gave them up 4-5 years ago. They called him last year and he signed back up. He went to two games and made $500 in profit from selling the other games. He’s happy.

They made the ECF in 87 and 88. They finished first in the Norris in 92. I remember the sporting news picked them to win the cup in 93. Scotty got here. I remember Ilitch wanted to fire him and bring in Mike Keenan. Scotty also wanted to trade Yzerman at one point. the wings fate turned on Yzerman falling to them after the islanders took LaFontaine. Then being aggressive in the European draft when there were so many unknowns.

We used to have a member here named sub Rosa. We argued a lot but would probably be best buds now that I wished up.

I totally agree with that assessment. I think a lot of it isn’t directly glossing over but just forgetting those times. He did one thing right. He hired DD. Yes he was willing to spend but there was a downside to that so I can’t quite chalk that up in the plus column. having Jimmy D with the Wings along with some great Euro scouts is the difference between th wings and tigers.

Man… that article was every sports talk radio cliche all in one place. People still playing the “he liked the wings more” card. I don’t recall any moratorium on talking bad about Mike Ilitch. Didnt come up at any “official sports talking points” meetings I went to.

No worries. I'm just a geek.

Not anymore. After 9/11 they moved the Secret Service from Treasury to Homeland Security.

I'm at the point where Hinch's fate is tied to Harris's fate. This is year 1 for Hinch. Unless, as you say, they know something about his methods that we aren't privvy to, which is just speculation and worth as much.

NASA announced the Armetis II crew today. Going back to the moon for the first time in over 50 years (Dec '72 was Apollo 17). I'm not embarassed to say I had goose bumps and a little teary eyed watching the announcement. This is so freakin' cool.

So in essence they said "Be good... you all are smart enough to do what's right for your neighbors and not be selfish" And they did. That would never work here.

NASA is announcing the crews that will go back to the moon this year, for the first time in 50 years. I thought maybe it would be on CNN. They're showing us live shots of Florida of a former President who is travelling to NY, as if it's the fucking OJ SImpson Bronco chase.

We always used our neighborhood pharmacy, who is our neighbor, and the service was top notch. I'd much rather support him. We have good coverage and our meds were fairly cheap out of pocket so I'm not worried about paying $3.87 over $5.15, especially since I have to drive about a mile further. I can call Allie anytime and he'll chase things up. He'll sometimes bring them home to us. The only benefit Walgreens had was the app and auto system, which again, works fine when there's no complications. I can bring it up and punch a few things, refill submitted, no phone calls, etc. We needed a steroid once and our local guy was able to get us some coupons to use, he did it all himself. Walgreens we are just a piece names and numbers on a screen that they process as they come in.

Games inside don't count. They played in Florida, that's still spring training. Houston is still an NL team to me so this is exhibition. Tigers are 0-0 and will be 0-0 coming home Thursday.

They made us switch our prescriptions to walgreens..... it works fine when there's no problems, that's another entire post which I won't get into. But I signed up for alerts. the app will notify me. Then a text. Then a phone call.

Maybe something with the secret service? Could a federal agency be directed to end protection or used to enforce state policy? “You are breaking the law. We aren’t paying for your protection anymore”. Of course these guys get protected for the safety of the country as much as their own. Capture… torture…. Release secrets. But he doesn’t need physical threats to release secrets. Just arrange for a blowjob and he spills it all.

The thing is, the DA in Manhattan can’t worry about what is going on elsewhere with crimes. If they see something they do something. There’s no rule that you if you aren’t convicted of X then you can’t be charged with Y. There’s also no rule that if one person wasn’t convicted of X then no one else should be charged with X.

I don’t know the mechanics of civil suits. Is there anything where a judge can say one side is being “unreasonable” and force arbitration? Can a judge say before a trial get in a room and exchange numbers and try to settle? I think Dominion would say $1 award if they got Fox to admit to a bunch of stuff.

Looks that way. I guess doing it any other way would be a massive job. The walls and foundation for the seats can’t be moved. You have the concourse at street level to work with. Apparantly you can’t just move the wall on the field and just make another row of seats. I’m not understanding why they had to move out the first row of seats. You can lower the HR threshold and just keep the grate to the same height as before for safety.

I think he's a ruse.
