I know three people who did the RV thing an all of them sold after a year.

I’d rather they get it than some hedge fun manager or health insurance CEO.

I understand some resentment but I also can’t fully square up the idea that we shouldn’t help people today because we didn’t help their predecessors 20-30-40 years ago. I sense some “welfare queen” going on where they have created an extreme example as representative of those benefitting. There’s always an anecdote to make a program look wasteful.

Isn’t Ron someone who shouldn’t be calling someone else an elf?

Why was Ivan Rodridguez in town?

why do the Tigers always play Boston at home very early in the season?

I didn't know he was sick. This is very cool. Nice job Indi..errr... Guardians.

agreed. I think politically it's a wash probably. But I also think it aligns with them doing something that they think is right for the most part regardless of the politics. If they wanted it to be political they would have had different thresholds I think.

people actually answer their phones when it's a number they don't recognize? I just hit the button. If I do answer as soon as I hear a delay or unfamiliair voice I just hang up. I get a text every few days from a number that just says "Hi". I reply back with a photo of a drunk shirtless guy I took at the Def Leppard/Crue concert.

I like it. It was nice seeing the Giants and Padres this year in person.

last night at the game someone in front of me was betting the whole game.

Women are going to save the country and that's what drives the right wingers crazy. We have our 3 MI gals leading our state.

there is a boomerang looming back to more traditional beer. The craft beer craze got out of hand. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. It's b/c the craft demand was driven by the pokemon generation. The chase was the fun. I got that analogy from an article a few years ago. They talked to a brewer who sent a barrel to a restaurant and when he called back the guy said "Yeah they loved it!" When he asked if they wanted another he said "No, my customers don't want the same thing twice". Craft brewers were caught in a war where everything had to be new and different and when everything is different then it's all the same. Find a formula, do it well, and repeat it. I don't need hazelnut cinnamon bourbon barreled stouts with a touch of basil. Just give me a good stout. It became about the labels and beer name. Not what's inside.

Give Donnie boy credit... he was right about Marco and Ted.

Robbie with an other Ofer last night. Wonder if Hinch and Coolbaugh snicker at that shit?

Yes it was. And the later starts didn’t help. We partied with some nice SF fans who flew in that day once they win game 3 and ticket prices plummeted. They were nice people. “We are all baseball fans.” It was weird. I got excited when they were winning and Peralta almost won it in the 9th. But I didn’t want them to win because it meant my tickets for game 5 would activate and cost me $190. I knew they were not going to win the series.

I remember losing games 2 and 3 2-0 and game 4 in extra innings. I remember game 3 having the bases loaded and then came Quentin Berry and Miguel... zip.

"This affects real people"

Other one guilty on both charged counts as well.

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.

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.

Right it was never considered that a major party would be so compromised to actually nominate someone convicted for that.

and the GOP will blame the Democrat Mayor of NYC.

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.
