  1. We were at the game sitting in the "Dogs" section. It was cold. Last time I was cold at a game was probably opening day. These are the kinds of games I stay home in April and May but with the final week of the season I want to get my kicks in. I like the 6:40 start times. That extra half hour means a lot during the week.
  2. well my 21 year old son was pissed last weekend when they cut into the college football game he was watching.
  3. What’s “offensive” for lack of a better word isn’t people talking about it. It’s the idea it’s breaking news and deserves to be something you would interrupt another game, even for another sport.
  4. why is a franchise record worth cutting into not only other national MLB games but football games? Frankly it's not national news. Great for Yankee fans to celebrate, I'm happy for them, but if Spencer Torkelson is sitting on 57 HR next year with 12 games left will they be doing the same thing and why not?
  5. I have some laying around when I tried to squeeze every ounce out of my iphone 6. One year the Tigers gave us one since they went to digital tickets, I figured that was their way of getting around having to use our phones to get in?
  6. agree.
  7. combined with his high pitched voice.... not sure that will fully translate for MAGA. and I can definitely see a rift coming as the kids won't want their gravy train and grift interrupted. Money going to him is not money going to them.
  8. I didn't hear Harris refer to "our ballclub" in his press conference neither did I hear the words "happy" or "quality".
  9. Which keeps in line with my thinking Rogue One is the best film they've done since Empire.
  10. Tigers are 5-1 since Harris was signed.
  11. I watched the first episode and liked it. Having trouble keeping up with my fantasy shows, luckily I didn't get into GoT. And we started Dahmer last night too.
  12. if you were really ambitious you'd find the link for people in uniform in the debut game of the selected players in hte chain. Not managers or coaches. Saw a thing over the weekend that Dusty Baker was a participant in every 700 homer game. He was Aaaron's teammate, managed the Cubs against Bonds, and the other night.
  13. No. I don’t get wrapped up into all of that because you can’t pick out what the cause and effects were. The numbers are the numbers and they reflect competition against your peers. breaking franchise records hasn’t been national news so it shouldn’t be now.
  14. Wow. That’s sort of like when people would snatch up internet domains like “parts.com”. Imagine the points those people are racking up from crowdsourcing.
  15. I spent a few minutes digging in via my phone and when Orosco debuted in 1979, Willie Mccovey was still in the league. When mccovey debuted enos slaughter was still playing at the age of 41.
  16. People like that have a bigger bubble because I bet they spend a lot of time with their fellow church people. Hardcore Protestants and evangelicals go up to 4 times a week. They home school or send their kids to a Christian school.
  17. In my hood gas prices snot up 40 cents overnight. Two stations had been at 3.89 for weeks now. This morning 4.29
  18. based on the story in the News this pretty thin. Slotkin moved to Lansing area due to redistricting. She's renting a condo, at $2K a month, from someone who recently moved to CT. That someone is linked to a company that has does business with the US Gov't for many years. That company has had support from many members of congress from both parties and both they are their competitors have been awarded contracts. A quick check on furnished Condos in Lansing showed that's a normal price. She's not overpaying and he's not under charging.
  19. service can even mean something like coaching a youth sports team or being a scout leader. Heck, even officiating youth sports. That is an industry that will be hurting very soon.
  20. The Bush family in particular had almost a religious zeal to service. Both George and Barbara's families were upper crust and established in the north east and subscribed to the message of Luke 12:48.
  21. It was around the same time. Both happened in spring training 2014 but I don't recall which came first.
  22. I guess I’m naive and fortunate because I don’t care about interest rates. I carry no CC debt. My mortgage is under 4. I’m not moving. I don’t need my investments for another 13-14 years. The only impact potentially is my car leases are up late next year but I have the sale price locked in if I want to buy and am fine doing that. I also get employee pricing.
  23. Love John King. And wolf always seems two steps behind.
