Would it go down since Cleveland then leap frogs them in the standings? I legit don’t know and can’t figure it out now.

A good opportunity to point out that if Bill Freehan were in the HOF he'd be far from the worst person to be in there. He'd not even be the worst Tiger in there.

This game pissed me off. First time this year. Usually I’m level headed. But backing into the playoffs and losing a series when you possibly will have home field will be a bummer.

Much of the criticism of him is by people who don’t understand the current role of managers within the organization. It’s not like before.

You make it sound like a video game where as long as things balance out on paper, in your opinion, then the deal gets processed. Like a credit card transaction. Each org determines the value of who they want and who they give up. You don’t know what that value is, on either side, because you weren’t in on the discussions.

But I am not following the point of the distinction. In either scenario they are the AL Central champs and having nothing else to accomplish after 11 wins. Nobody will refer to them as the “outright” champions or anything but the champions if they happen to have the same record. They have earned the title by the basis of the rules in both scenarios.

Tigers have clinched back to back winning seasons for the first time since 2013-2014.

I hear it’s a nice area

Ever notice that some users only post after losses?

I still don’t understood this. What is the magic number for the Tigers to be declared and to enter the playoffs as the AL Central division champions?

right. If Jim Mattis were DoD then I'd assume they acted on solid intelligence. But we have a drunk TV boy in charge of the military now so who the **** knows what went on.

The Bye is the big get for me. They have never earned home field advantage in the playoffs. During the recent run, post 2006 they never had it except 2006 and that was because the AL won the ASG. Does it mean anything? Not really but having one of the better records among playoff teams is a record of success. As good as the teams were in 2011-2014 there were other teams better during the regular season.

what do you expect the dems to do? Screaming and yelling and talking about it won't fix it. Trump and his admin do not have to respond to public pressure anymore. Approval ratings are meaningless. Talking about it on Sunday morning shows and podcasts will not affect them. Even Fox News turning on them won't affect them. They have the authority to do what they want and they will. Yelling at them in hearings in Congress will be blown off. We're stuck with this **** for 3 1/2 years. It might get a little better if Dems flip the house, and maybe the Senate.

I agree... however cost is an issue in poor communities as that's often all that's available. It's not easy in the neighborhoods in Detroit to find good fresh food that's good for you. especially if you don't have a car. But that can of soup and beef stick and cheese from the gas station will have to do. That's all you can get.

I just read a blip about Faubus a few weeks ago. Little Rock was relatively progressive at the time but the problem there was their Governor's had 2 year terms. Initially there wasn't expected to be a confrontation. Faubus didn't have a law degree so nothing really to fall back financially that typical southern Governors would have. When that incident occurred his reaction was considered a turn. He wasn't expected to do that but he knew if he did the right thing he'd lose re-election.

it makes weak people like him feel tough to think that way. It's no skin off his back and his phony fears are subsided by the bleeding out of brown people far away.

you are a disgrace to the uniform to be honest.

his point is to 'blame' people for getting diabetes and then make them suffer the consequences.

so as a Veteran you violate your oath.... so your status as a Veteran is null and void and meaningless.

oh i see you are back to wanting others to prove your point for you rather than you doing it.

SpaceX has a lot to prove with their HLS system before any landings. Artemis II flies by the moon, not going into orbit, not even replicating Apollo 8, but HLS isn't involved in that. The HLS is ambitious. It's not like the Apollo where the lander goes along for the ride. This flies up separately, gets fueled several times in earth orbit, then takes off on it's own towards the moon. Then in lunar orbit the crew will transfer from Orion to the HLS.

when it involves brown people

The article G2 referenced from the freep talked about how much all of these people get along with each other. Seidel's articles are fluff but I get the sense there's no animosity at all among them and I think the interchangability is intentional to make things sound fresh. I like it. I don't think they're trying to find the right fit but to keep us and them on their toes. I'm pretty content with whatever combination I find myself watching or listening to. Although when Dickerson was out the radio guy had me constantly checking my bluetooth connection because there was a lot of moments of silence. I was outside at a pool party all weekend and I kept wondering if either the speaker died or someone else connected to it.

Regarding Massie... yes he's often a tool and I disagree with him vehemently on things. But I fully support his stance on this Epstein stuff. Yes it's dumb to have to congratulate people for doing the right thing, especially issues involving rape and all of that, but this is where the GOP took us. I don't care who this scandal takes down. People need to be punished for it. Anybody who fights it is on my suspicious list as being involved.
