  1. that was my point. He's had the equivalent of about 3 1/2 full seasons after HS to develop into a major league hitter when you count college, minors, and majors.
  2. Tork had 600 minor league at bats as well.
  3. Every few months since 2015 we heard this....
  4. I have a friend with a 19 year old son who does beats. He's had a few get picked up and he formed his own publishing company and brings in decent money now, especially for his age. Enough to get an attorney who focuses on going after people who steal it.
  5. I work out at a city facility. When it's nice out we will go outside on the area that was recently turned into a pickleball court. Yesterday a bunch of young people showed up wearing Lions gear, 10 in total. I finally asked them why they all had Lions shirts on... they are summer interns working for the organization out of Allen Park.
  6. He's like Tony Clark. Only hits HR when it doesn't count.
  7. My 22 year old drinks Modelo when he will drink beer. Has nothing to do with the 'controversy', this goes back over a year. I just noticed it when he'd come to games with me. I only drank it when in Mexico City or a restaurant in southwest Detroit. I thought it was because one of his best friends is from Mexico and that was the influence for him. But they are a primary sponsor at Comerica Park now.
  8. That's the ****ty thing..... what they are doing is the right thing to do. Treat it as a non partisan issue. It degrades it if you have dems on TV spouting talking points about the trial as if it's some celebrity/OJ type thing. But what's right politically is a different manner. The appeal to idiots is a conundrum.
  9. I don't subscribe to any of it because I figure all of you will do the work and I can just read about it and stand on the shoulders of geniuses.
  10. yeah he's more of a Tonto....
  11. But Paul Ryan said recently Fox is important and that's why he stayed on the board of directors.
  12. not sure I'm a fan of this.....
  13. tiktok? Rick Beato did an interview with a music critic who touched on this. It was a great chat.
  14. reading the replies and I see a comment about the need to 'drive in runs' next.
  15. of the declared candidates he's their best choice and if I had to accept one of them to be President it would probably be him.
  16. Thye keep going back to the documents Biden had in his garage. What they don't say is he found them and gave them back. I don't initially fault any POTUS, VPOTUS, or other high level official who's primary job is dealing with this info if they inadvertently have some of these in their possession. There's thousands of documents and things are over classified anyway. The whole point is when you find out or are told by Archives.... then you give it back. Like Biden and Pence did.
  17. My son's graduation all night party in 2019 was at the Fairlane Club, which during it's hey day was a members only club for professionals. Had all that stuff. I was a chaperone at the party and during one of my shifts was assigned to the area where the courts were, basically to make sure nobody was making out in a closet or deserted space. I grabbed a racquet and ball and started hitting it around. broke quite a sweat doing it. But I never formally played it. Just goofed around before being told to "get out of here" by an adult.
  18. in hollywood women age faster! Right?
  19. On Murder She Wrote she would cast a lot of her old acting friends so that they could obtain better SAG benefits as they got older. Genius.
  20. man when I was a kid racquetball was king. You had those clubs popping up with a bar in it. As I got older it evolved to Wallyball, Volleyball in a racquetball court. Before any of us had kids we'd do that twice a week. Play a few games then drink cheap beer out of pitchers and eat pizza in their bar area. Do those places still exist? The few I can think of closed down.
  21. I feel guilty for not going. Would have been solo which doesn’t matter. But the losing streak and Cooler weather had me down. And I found out a co worker passed away over the weekend so I was kind of blah. Felt more like a chore to have to go.
  22. I actually like the broadcast without Shep. Just some friends hanging out. I mean it.
