I should clarify, Easley was a good trade, but then I believe he got a big contract after which probably hurt the club somewhat. He was a fine player but not deserving of the big deal.

Damian Easley for Greg Gohr was a good move.

I think any agent that can't do that should be fired immediately.

No, that was Joe Klein. For 32 years we had Jim, Bill, Joe, Jerry, Joe. I was listening to Gibson on the radio, he was being interviewed on WDFN, when the trade was announced. He hung up when they told him and retired a week later. He was pissed.

NASA, according to it's acting leader, says they are opening up the contract for the lunar lander to other companies because SpaceX is so far behind. I'm not sure what that means. They're nervous about China getting there first. I suspect if we do go back that China will get there first. Artemis III is years away in my very amateur opinion.

what's troubling is... the people that run the GOP today simply don't care. They don't care if people suffer, if they die. Doesn't matter if they are old, young.... all that matters to republicans today is the grift and the social media "own".

The Costner film Thirteen Days about the Cuban Missile Crisis is one of the best historical movies ever made. His performance is sketchy, he drifts in and out of his crappy Boston accent, but the movie itself is fairly accurate. Like most movies of real life events they have to condense who said what and all of that to make it presentable. But the general gist of it is spot on.

what made me mad about the Fryman situation was they moved him because they didn't have money, supposedly. Then a year later they get Dean Palmer for more money.

That was also the same night that a new show on NBC debuted, hosted by George Carlin, called NBC's Saturday Night. Perhaps you've heard of it?

When it was all said and done the Tigers ended up trading Travis Fryman and Cecil Fielder for Matt Drews.

Maybe he was with the defense secretary

Eugenio had a beef. Saw the ump cam where he told him “that was the same ****ing pitch you called a ball”

I've said this before here but it's like the red hats get off on the homeless. When I come back from vacation and I have cousins asking where we went, if it was a big city, like San Diego, their first question "Was there a lot of homeless people there?" The first time we went my fox news watching MIL said to us, "Just be careful" and when we asked why she said "Well it's close to the border". Chas, you are exactly right.

Truman "gutted the entire white house" because it was literally falling apart and would have collapsed had they not done that. He spent most of his "second" term of his presidency living elsewhere Nixon put his bowling alley in place of where LBJ/JFK's pool was.

He can come to one of my fitness classes. We're allowed to bring one guest for a period of time. He will find young arab women in sports halter tops with not much coverage than a sports bra. He'll see others in full body clothing that covers their entire arms, legs, and head. We all work out together in the same room, men and women, in varying amounts of clothing. Nobody gets beaten. For sure there are patriarchal elements at play but that goes on in every culture. The whole "Trad Wives" thing among the evangelical right is just another form of what they probably bitch about in their perceptions of the Muslim world.

All season long I felt like Toronto was the best team in the AL and they proved it. Was glad the Lions game ended when it did so I could watch completely and see Springer's HR. My wife used to not care about the Lions. I did see the 3 DP's Toronto turned.

Yes. I always knew about it but at some point during the internet era I heard his rendition and thought it was beautiful. But... different times I guess. Since Ernie was respnsibile for having him do it he got in trouble.

Skubal is awesome and I won’t mind if he finished a HOF career as a tiger at market value. But he’s one player. One of 5 starters. A good system can’t guarantee a player of his caliber all the time, nobody can, but it can get you 3 guys who are 85-90% of him. You still need to win the other 80% of the games he doesn’t play.

I still follow some “sensible” people who were once “right” but today there’s no national or state level Republican office holders promoting any policy I would support. These people are stuck doing podcasts and substacks preaching to the choir. They don’t have a seat at any table. It’s nothing but slogans. “We want secure borders, no fentanyl, low taxes, no trans people, Jesus back in schools, no gay marriage, no abortion”.

Moderators cannot read private messages

You want to know why this board has more “left” peoole? Because it’s impossible to intelligently defend the right anymore. That’s all been used up. The only “right” posts are nothing but troll jobs that lack logic and any standard of normal thought. Oh yeah stray person might chime in and say otherwise but they never post because deep down they know they can’t defend it.

And right leaning folks bitch and whine when they and their people get called Nazis.

“Let’s”? Your ass isn’t doing ****. It’s always those who sit home that have the biggest mouths and are the most eager for others to lift a finger

To think he almost got fired in 1968
