  1. Other one guilty on both charged counts as well.
  2. I think we discussed gas prices in here before, if not my apologies. I keep seeing stories about them going down by my stations dipped to 3.89 a few weeks ago but went back to 3.99 recently and stayed there. However I did get gas in Flint on Sunday for $3.63. Quite a few in that area that we passed by in that range.
  3. He came into camp in '84 complaining about his low pay. He even said something like "These bums are making more than me". So we traded him for the 1984 Cy Young winner. But who's to say that deal wouldn't have happened anyway. Legend is that Sparky tagged Willie as a potential target while doing TV work in the playoffs in '83.
  4. Right it was never considered that a major party would be so compromised to actually nominate someone convicted for that.
  5. and the GOP will blame the Democrat Mayor of NYC.
  6. That's all true. But as long as people like Rubio, Cruz, McCarthy, Tucker, Hannity, etc. see nothing wrong with it then so will 40% of the public and another 8% will say "Yeah that's bad but we can't have 'socialism' so we still have to vote for the GOP". If Trump is convicted he'll get pardoned by Pres. DeSantis.
  7. “They always do better when they leave” is a constant sports fan radio trope. people still going on about eesock
  8. Why I have no issue with what Hinch said. He has nothing to gain by going further than he did.
  9. Since his last homer to spark that story he's at a .154/.214/.154 slash line.... I'm not saying the coaching staff is great but when going on about a team's analytics it's not a good data point to use a 3 game stretch as an obvious example from the outside of an organization's inner workings.
  10. With regard to public narrative it could be like what they say in Spring Training with a new manager and how "everything feels different now. Guys are hustling. Throws are crisper. More engaged". Just BS nonsense that looks good on paper.
  11. As a 10 year old when he got traded we all had a lot of immature fun at his name. Seeing him at the closing ceremonies of Tiger Stadium was a highlight. He got a lot of applause.
  12. I remember that.
  13. Option 4) Hinch and Coolbaugh do look at the video but the systems and tools are not as useful as what the Braves had Option 5) Hinch and Coolbaugh do look at the video, Grossman makes adjustments, they don't work and the adjustments made by Grossman in the Braves are short term. Maybe he tried them here and the pitchers were too good or he was unlucky. Looking at video seems such an obvious thing to do that I have a hard time concluding nobody thought to do it.
  14. Howard Kurtz is another one who is garbage that I didn't think always was... but maybe he was and I was on the other side then so it was cool with me. I have a book he wrote on the Clintons from years ago.
  15. no you are not imagining. He did, maybe not a 180, but a 120. He was not always like this. Either someone got to him or he is being strategic for $$.
  16. Fake but accurate if you are on Medicare and used it for a knee or hip replacement. Congratulations. You are a recipient of “socialism”.
  17. I had that guy pegged as a creep as soon as I saw his profile pic. His tweets were stupid. Greeting card tripe.
  18. Wouldn’t it be obvious to anyone to look at an underperforming player’s swing from when they were performing to notice differences? So that tells me either their analysis is flawed or their communication is flawed… or they are stupid to not even check(which I don’t think is true). I guess another alternative is the player just not listening at the time. Let’s see what he’s doing in 3 weeks.
  19. I cannot see Trump ever endorsing a candidate for an office he wants.
  20. Wow. She created the ad herself. This election needs to be about abortion rights. Force the issue. Make them say stupid shit like this.
  21. Blame the girl
  22. Sadly there were many times from 1992-1994 where I was in a car full of shit faced people who just ate McDonald's by the bridge and made our way back through customs. I was on the bridge in a backup when Mike Tyson bit Evander's ear off. I found out about it next to a group in a limo. Our friends had mutual bachelor/bachelorette parties in Windsor.
  23. Yes. All documents are property of the government. That was put into effect after Nixon. When you go to a presidential library for research the papers you look at belong to the archives. Once they review everything they will let the respective libraries have some. That’s what happened to the 33 million that Obama “took”.
  24. no. They're a bunch of pansies.
