Mike Ilitch owns both the Tigers and Red Wings; the Red Wings’ $63 million payroll is the second-highest in the NHL, trailing only to the Rangers, but the Tigers’ payroll is in the bottom third in baseball. “Ain’t much I can do about it. He’s the owner. It’s his money; he can spend it however he chooses to. We’re all making good money, so just deal with it. When he gets ready to spend and get a competitive team on the field, he’ll do it,” Higginson said. “All these others clubs had the same opportunity. These guys got money: They just don’t want to spend it. “They’re just sitting around waiting to get some new labor deal that works in favor for them while this guy over here [George Steinbrenner] don’t wait around for nothing; he sees an opportunity and capitalizes on it. He wants to win. Some of these other guys aren’t trying to do it.

That’s borderline assault.

The Ukraine funding is a huge wedge issue in the Arab/Muslim world. It's because Zelensky is Jewish. I'll say it again.... that community is totally brainwashed. They think what happened on Oct 7 was fake or done by Israel.

I just see her as a modern David Bowie... appearance is part of the art form. Not everyone has to like the expression. In terms of pure music she has talent and chops. She wears costumes. But so does Brandi Carlisle and Amanda Shires (both of which I saw on display at the R&R HOF 3 weeks ago).

I've gained a lot of love for her and P!nk over the last few years. They are bad ass.

Good one. I also hate it when they talk too fast. I watch a lot of recap videos for Star Wars and Marvel stuff and it's like... dudes... just slow down. Breath. It's ok to have a little bit of a pause between sentences as well. Stop editing it all out.

Speaking of Lady GaGa. She sings along with Lukas in this song, which is great. If you haven't seen the newer A Star is Born, you must. His band is Cooper's backup in the film.

Like anti-semitism, distrust of the medical industry is something where the extremes on right and left meet up. Look at RFK Jr for an example.

I'm waiting for the inevitible "Ratings are down this year" It happens every year.

This looks very ****ing bad.

No. Don’t know. Yes. Don’t know. getting physical is a broad term. Punching? No. But enough of a thing to attract eyeballs.

It's especially rich given the plea deals we've seen the last week or so.

Based on what we saw at the Beetlejuice play, she likes to play with junk.

there's gossipy stuff about a former travel secretary. This person was an assistant Clubhouse Mgr (visiting), then got promoted. When Verlander dumped his HS sweetheart (after buying her a house), for Kate, she began dating this person, I think he even moved into the house. JV tried to get him fired. Doug Fister got involved about the unfairness of it all. Some suggest that's why Fister was traded so abrubtly. I know the guy's name but won't say it publicly. It's gossip so take it with the appropriate grains of salt. This may have been something I read from a noted jerk on twitter that isn't around anymore. Or I might have gotten it from someone I know who's connected. (I got dope on Al Sabotka's issues with the Red Wings too).

Both teams are 9-3 in the post season and won games 6 and 7 of the LCS on the road. Texas outscored the Rays 11-1, the O's 21-11. Arizona won both games in Milwaukee and LA before the NLCS.

If AZ wins that will make another team with 2 WS titles since the Tigers won last believe in Karma? Phillies were chirping about jumping in the pool in the AZ ballpark when they clinched the series there.

Is there even a mechanism to allow for a case where some R’s cave and vote for Jefferies? How does it even get to a vote?

Santiago also won’t be back. Lots of Avila guys let go. Gabe Alvarez in the running for 1B.

and that's a reminder that Randy Smith traded Cecil Fielder and Travis Fryman, possibly 2 our 2 best players* in the 1990's... for Matt Drews.

We coudn't afford him. Then the next year we signed Dean Palmer for more money. Fryman really only had 2 decent years in Cleveland thoush so if he stayed here who knows...

Houston was 1-5 this year at home in the playoffs. I can't believe people left the game early last night. It was game 7. There's no clock in baseball. Sure they had a slim chance to win but why risk seeing the most incredible comeback in playoff history at that point? I know traffic in Houston stucks (Houston is one hour away from Houston) but you spent the money and time, what's an extra few minutes?

Max didn’t make it out of the third but he didn’t exactly implode.

Damn good game so far.
