Mallory is going to be Michigan's next US Senator or Governor. If she wants to be.

well he gets paid to figure this all out, not us.... I'm not worrying about it. Just nice to have some direction now.

"fighting back" This will probably be broadcast on Fox News Channel, hosted by Mike Huckabee, with a panel featuring Jon Voigt, Chachi, Rob Schneider, and Randy Quaid.

There was confusion as to why his team would recommend him. The only thing that made sense is he signed the FISA warrant for Carter page that later had some issues. That could mean they thought he had issues with the FBI. These people don’t recognize that perpetual grudges are not something most people carry.

The migrants have filed a lawsuit.

I’m not big on buzzwords but I liked hearing the word innovation a lot. i give the Ilitch family shit but their food empire is known for innovation.

Mike Stone asks about Miggy's contract. Harris basically says it's a fair question but he needs to look at things and talk to Miggy and evaluate the system as a whole as right now it's "The Giants impression of the Tigers farm system"

Judge Dearie was having none of the Trump bullshit..... so look for the Trump Team to whine and claim it's unfair.

Chris Ilitch says Steve Yzerman participated in the process. Also shouted out to Hinch, Garko, Sartori and Mezin.

I like Pete too. I think the wild card is Harris. Not that she has a shot but I'm afraid she thinks she does and will try to run. Someone needs to get to her and say "You did your part, you helped us get elected, you will be rewarded with your choice of assignments in a new Admin, cabinet posts, ambassadorship... maybe a judge" Maybe she can say "I like this job so I'll be the running mate again" She can follow in Calhoun and George Clinton's footsteps. It'd be best if the D's could have a gentle and uniting primary, as such things can exist. Sounds like Newsom is also all in.

He wore impressive striped polos.

Scott Harris fixed the Tigers as a whole faster than ATL fixed Robbie Grossman.

I was wrong earlier when I said they wouldn’t get a guy who was a GM today. I wasn’t considering them filling the top job and leaving GM empty for now.

For comparison I believe Chris Ilitch has the title of CEO and so do some other owners. That’s what it took at the time to get DD here.

Dombrowski was the CEO and President of the entire organization, business operations in addition to baseball. This title is not the same. In theory DD was responsible for the food vendors and electricians and marketing, etc.

No leaks is a good sign.

Seems alright to me based on his bio and history.

Presidents can and often do plan their funerals. Harry Truman planned a state funeral but Bessie changed her mind after he passed away. Nixon didn't ask for one, probably afraid he'd be turned down. I mean... as President I guess he's entitled to one. Maybe his will be like Benito's or Caucescu's.

2 years ago we found out Justin Verlander was having Tommy John Surgery. What a recovery, eh? I get angry seeing him succeed so much with Houston. Happy for him obviously but man...

My wife works for a large local health system. She's maxed out on the pay scale. Been there 26 years. For raises, since she's maxed out, they give her a lump sum. Ok..... but then in years when there are no raises everyone else still gets that 3.5%.... she doesn't.

I hate it when I have to hope we'd be as good as Baltimore. That's a team I've consistently rooted against. Other teams have always had at least one series where I wanted them to win over the other team, even the Yankees. I got tired of the Red Sox playing the underdog card so I'd say "Screw 'em". Probably goes back to Ripken.

We don’t know that he’s “relying on Hinch”. Hinch is the only guy who speaks to reporters. So what he says gets magnified. I’m sure he has input because why wouldn’t he? My “criticism” is more about the article itself trying to position itself to some inside authority or knowledge when in fact it’s just as credible as whatever we all know here. It’s just a guy, or fan, writing. From what I have seen from media outlets no candidate has been confirmed to have been interviewed or to even be considered. Basically the writers looked at guys just below the GM level around the league and said “this is someone they could be after”. Well yeah…. That’s how it works. They will hire someone who is not yet a GM from another org or will hire someone who was a GM but not anymore. There’s only so many of those out there. They will not pull a Matt Millen from the TV booth move. And anybodys opinion on whether the move is good or not will be an uninformed one.
