  1. I am trying to be philosophical about it. You play 162. During that time you have hot stretches and cold stretches. Some come in May or June or July or the last 2 weeks of September.
  2. Vasteras? That was Nick Lidstrom's hometown. He was a huge fan of his. I am friends with him on FB but he doesn't appear to be active. He gets tagged by family though so he's around still.
  3. how can this guy be so stupid?
  4. She must have been a Mitch Hedberg fan
  5. If somehow they win the division, they will. But if they keep losing and end up a WC team this weekend in Boston because others lost... I don't think they will. But who knows... I'm sure I'll be wrong again.
  6. We're going to go out and find some former members and offer them a 1 day contract to do a game thread and then retire a MTS member.
  7. what goes around comes around....
  8. Progressive Field, Cleveland, OH Listen: 97.1 The Ticket Watch: FanDuel Sports Network Detroit Game Time Forecast: 69 Showers RHP Jack Flaherty RHP Tanner Bibee
  9. if the Tigers end up with a playoff spot... do they even celebrate? I bet not.
  10. Welcome to last week's discussions.
  11. I think it's part of the former. Certain words trigger algorithms that can block content. I've seen "died" replaced with "unalived" Don't know about China or TikTok.
  12. Yet you constantly hear whining about how mean leftists and such are to people and they the problem.
  13. And my wife will have them memorized. She saw Wicked once and from then on I hear her singing along when something from it is on TV. I will ask her what that is. I’m like “you saw it once…”. But I mean… she even loves Xanadu.
  14. I remember last year having discussions expressing support for the Tigers being just as responsible as the leaders for falling back.
  15. That’s why he’s not in the sequel trilogy.
  16. Cleveland deserves a lot of credit too.
  17. We only watch if we are interested. I’d say half the time I just delete without watching. And a sure sign of getting older is we often have idea who the guests are.
  18. By no means listen to my opinion on whether to see it. You can’t argue with its success and that people loved it. I’m the old dad in Monty Python’s holy grail who stops the singing. (Huge tracts of land)
  19. The funny thing is everybody I’ve seen say they should fire him also admit they don’t like him and don’t want watch him. I record all 3 of them and skim them for guests and music. I typically avoid the monologues and bits.
  20. It's Madison Bumgarner coming out in relieve in game 7 of the WS.
  21. I would trust them more if the argument was simply "It's wrong" and not the qualifier of "They'll do it to us...." I say that with regard to Cruz. I don't know much of what the others have said yet.
  22. I'm one of the few that didn't care for it. I know I'm an outlier I guess and accept it. I generally hate musicals. I struggle understanding what they are singing. So when we watched the "movie" i had the subtitles on. I knew the history already. And reading the text made me miss the production somewhat. I don't know... I just didn't see the big deal. My wife saw it at the Fisher and loved it.
  23. We still have a good Chinese place in our neighborhood. We started going again regularly. It's one of those family places. No dine in. It's just an exposed cinder block structure with a half door into the back and you can hear them yelling the order from the front. They opened in the mid 90's. We had 2 Thai places but one closed because the landlord didn't want them there. Doubled their rent in the new contract, according to the owners so they couldn't renew. Now it's another coffee/dessert place because Dearborn does not have enough of them. 44 non chain coffee places in our city. But this Chinese place is great. It is a few blocks from us but fell off our radar. It's the old joke "If you see a kid behind the counter doing their homework, then the place is good." That's true here.
  24. This weird obsession with Kirk and the reactions to peoole bringing him up and commenting on his death would make a great John Carpenter movie.
