  1. I saw a reference to a clip of Patel on one of those fringe sites/news channels saying we need to defund the FBI/DOJ. So I'm not sure about his cooperation. Maybe it's one of those things you say one thing on TV and another under oath.
  2. It is the World Series though. After the win they enter a best of 3 contest so you want all arms ready to go.
  3. He always struggles in th first inning. (Old bit alert)
  4. My fear along with R's winning is also a situation where R's lead same day results but as in 2020 when mail/absentee votes come in the trend changes and then you start to get the whining from the pols and pundits that "something is wrong" and we see protests and riots like what happened at Cobo.
  5. I've noticed that with Pink Floyd songs I appreciate them more when they are covered by someone else. I think I've heard their work too much on the radio for as long as I can remember. Maybe it's their style too. Perfect example is Van Morrison and Comfortably Numb.
  6. My place shot up 50 cents overnight. Glad I got gas last night. Saved me $8. A cursory check around the area showed an uptick by 20 or 30 cents as I drove around for errands.
  7. I think its going to be a shit show Tuesday and the outcome won’t be good. A dark day. Given the pandemic and trump/No trump and gas prices/inflation and roe…. I don’t see how these pollsters can demo turnout correctly but there seems to be a trend.
  8. I was reading up on some bonds last night and found one that requires you to link to your fitness tracker and will give you the better rate if you average 12,500 steps a day.
  9. and Jim Campbell had his own issues with the FO prior to Monoghan. They were the 2nd to last team to get a black player. Cheap. Bill Lajoie saved Campbell's reputation.
  10. same conundrum that politicians are stupid yet smart enough to pull off elaborate global conspiracies.
  11. After the 2000 census I suddenly went from Dingell to Conyers in my district. I had no idea until the ballot box. I always voted for Dingell and was happy to do so even in my previous political life. After I looked it up and they carved out a small area in my neighborhood for Conyers. It went back after 2010. Now I am represented by Rashida since MI lost a seat. Debbie Dingell moved to Ann Arbor to compete in that district after she and her husband and father in law represented that district since luke the 30’s I think.
  12. I think hiring Harris, and before that Hinch, tells me Ilitch won’t be a cheapskate. Will be be like his dad and go ape shit? No. And I wouldn’t ask that as a fan. I’m now convinced he doesn’t want to just ride this org as a cash cow with as little risk and effort as possible. I think they will be payroll competitive. That doesn’t mean they have to be in the conversation for every big name free agent.
  13. some, including him, could also pull a Frankie Five Angels.
  14. If these cretins ever have to do a perp walk I expect LIndsey to be the one to pull a Jim Bakker and sob while in cuffs and being led away.
  15. THIS WOKE BULLSHIT!
  16. That's all good news and I hope it holds up. I really do.
  17. Nothing to back it up with other than the idea that this could just be people deciding after covid that they like early voting. That this is just a pull ahead of what were traditional same day votes and given the idiocy in our electorate R's think early voting is "weak" and "not secure" so they aren't doing it to the same rate as D's. Trends before covid as it relates to voting behavior, not their preferences, might be an apples and oranges situation. Of course there's the Roe effect too to consider so who knows.
  18. WHo was the longtime WSox pitching coach? Wasn't he well thought of around the league? Did he go somewhere else?
  19. isn't it kind of a moot point anyway? So what if they do get them? That just means some people saw them. They won't be released publicly and nothing of substance will happen if the R's take the house.
  20. doesn't it come down to how much they think the poor performance was due to the ability of the coaching/front office staff to provide the support a player needs beyond their own ability? They made some changes to the staffs so they saw a deficiency. If they see a connection then they'll consider keeping them. If they feel confident they can upgrade then they'll do that, or a mixture of both.
  21. Here’s a name I haven’t heard in probably 20 years.
  22. that's odd because I thought Trunk or Treats originated at churches. Keep them in house and proper... do demon costumes. Harry Potter, maybe.... but be careful That's borderline witchcraft.
