  1. There's storms coming south but the question will be how far north east it stays. Could clip the Detroit area around 12-1 pm.. maybe a delay. We will be there today.
  2. India has landed a spacecraft on the moon. The fourth nation to do so and the first to do it on the south pole. They tried in 2019 but it failed.
  3. Someone on the internets suggested Jim Thome. Lol. press release makes it sound like he’s got his man already.
  4. broke college students drinking bud light for breakfast
  5. listening to gambling talk is as exciting as listening to someone talk about their golf game or fantasy football results on Monday morning at work during football season. Nobody.Cares.
  6. It would have to be one of those positional matchup type deals where different needs are met. You'd want a Tork type player, in terms of MLB readiness and all that but at a different position. Of course the value of a 1B/DH compared to another IF skews things.
  7. and I'm not sure what would have or could have occured a year into his tenure to make us think he's an elite GM. Getting lucky isn't a sign of genius. The league is full of competent and smart people. The goal is to be on par with them.
  8. I was really into Crue in middle school.... up until Theater of Pain. I listened to that again a few years ago and it was such a rush to hear those songs again. Hadn't listened to them since the 80's and they were as fresh as could be in my mind. I love that experience.
  9. He can become Athletic Director at Divine Child. Then When Aiden retires from the Lions he can be his assistant.
  10. https://x.com/cmccosky/status/1693339706728051111?s=46&t=rTECiCzi2O-lytdgFWVzfg this seems fanboy-ish.
  11. My son says Nashville is Atlanta for white people. Downtown is basically a massive bachelorette party.
  12. Imagine John Lowe doing a tweet like that over Doug Baker.
  13. It was something to do with their ear pieces. One guy who complained is a die hard who follows them.
  14. People I know who went to their latest LCA show said it was a disaster... and I think Daltry admitted they ****ed up the sound.
  15. Kyle Schwarber has hit a HR in the AL Wild Card,NL Wild Card, ALDS, NLDS, ALCS, NLCS, WS, and WBC Pool PLay and WBC Championship.
  16. My wife saw Rick Springfield last week and I wanted to go dressed like Rahad and run around saying "He's a buddy of mine!"
  17. I’ll never forget when in an early game Ausmus left him in the game during a challenging situation. People ripper Ausmus. Mark came in to explain that a knock against Norris in the minors something like lacking a killer instinct or something like that. So Ausmus was probably testing him. That stuck with me.
  18. I think that's actually the first time I figured out what he looked like. I'm like "Who is that?" "Ohh....."
  19. Don't forget Tommy's tallywacker being enthusiastically pulled by the female gym teacher.
  20. Also a reminder of how fast the game moves. The mind to body timing is a long time relatively speaking. Adrenaline too.
  21. It's almost like things happen outside of anyone's control and the basic laws of economics take over....
  22. Well he's got Secret Service with him at all times and they work for the Gov't. They are equipped to lift and carry him for safety so they can lift and carry him for extradition. If his private security get in the way then there's an armed conflict and they are aiding and abetting a fugitive. SHove him into a big black SUV and off he goes. DeSantis won't lift a finger for him anymore.
  23. Initially Diamond said he wrote it about his wife but needed a 3 syllable word so he came up with Caroline. Later on he said he was inspired by a photo of Caroline Kennedy in her riding gear. She was born in 57, the song was written in 69. https://americansongwriter.com/meaning-of-neil-diamonds-sweet-caroline-song-lyrics/ Yesterday was the anniversary of Elvis dying. We all know about Priscilla and how old she was. I agree with CMU97. Mores change over time. My sister was 16 when she got married in 1966.
