Al Avila: “You’ve got to go full bore from Day 1"
oblong replied to Useful Idiot's topic in Detroit Tigers
And I wonder if an internet in 1977 would have been talking about Trammell and Whitaker and Morris leading us to a WS one day? -

An engaged ownership group would have known that. I know DD was the CEO and President too so he's more than just the GM therefore everyone in the office probably had some reservations speaking about him in a negative way because he's everybody's boss. But if you as an owner see failure from a guy like DD who runs everything you don't just chop off the head and give everybody else a bump and think it'll work out. Ilitch's problem wasn't that he saw failure. He just got sick of the idea that someone was getting too much credit and wanted big money. It's his team dammit, not anybody else's. He was jealous of DD. -
I was talking to my wife about this and we remembered joking about a Walgreen's being in the bottom floor of our hotel and there was another one right across the street. You could stand in the doorway of one and see the other one. Like 50 yards away.

Jon needs to be on TV again on a regular basis. He can troll these fuckers and they'll take the bait.

When I was in SF in 2015 there was a Walgreens on nearly every corner downtown.

Yeah for sure! I rode up with a friend and his brother and sister in law were already out there. They told us they weren't letting anybody in, this was around 5 so they went to the Union bar and were able to get a table. We finally got there and hung out and decided to go to Pine Knob and at least drink some beers if that's all it was going to be. We got in before the show started, there's a club entrance to the far left that had no line, thanks to the worker who pointed that out. In fact they never even scanned a ticket. We had lawn seats but instead of standing on a sloping wet hill in the rain we parked in front of the railings at the bottom of the hill. Couldn't really see much but we had video boards in front of us so it was cool. It was my first phish show and it exceeded my expectations. Didn't get home until 1:45.

Happy 7 year anniversary -
Nothing epitomizes the modern conservative more than this. "I want what I want and don't want you to have what you want"

would he put a potty squatty in the bathrooms?

After Kansas do they have the guts to put them on the ballot?

what complicates this all based on what I am reading from twitter lawyers is this being a civil case things are different.

I understand the pros and cons of each system for the parties but I wouldn't use the word "unfair" to describe the MI process. That makes it sound like there's ethical issues and I don't see that at all. The Republican party let me vote in their primary to nominate their candidate and I picked the worst candidate. That's not an issue of unfairness. It's not optimal for them as I am not going to vote for their November candidate no matter who it is but that's not what they asked of me in August. It's their ballgame and I'm playing by their rules. Casting a ballot is not a legal document declaring who you like the most.

I give the parents and everybody else great credit for simply not hauling off and kicking the shit out of him because I want to do it from way over here.

His iconic line for me was.... "Behind the bag!!!"

But what if you are an independent? Do you not get to vote in the primary? To me it's up to the parties to decide how they nominate their candidate. If they want to take the chance for that then that's a risk they willingly take. A closed primary puts you in position to not get a true reflection of the electorate. I don't see anything unfair about it. My job yesterday was to pick who I wanted the nominee to be for a particular party. That was the choice. It wasn't about who I wanted to be governor.

GOP says Tudor wins.

I took on a variation of a process I saw Ralphie do on the show. When you drain the pasta either don’t drain it all the way or leave some water in the pot. Put the. Pasta back in the pot and take a half ladle of sauce and mix it up. Gives the pasta a nice coating and keeps it from sticking. Ralphies process used butter and you heated the pot up and stirred the pasta into it. growing up my mom , who isn’t Italian, would put the pasta into the sauce pan and mix it up. My mother in law said that’s how her best friend Rosie’s family did it. They were “eye-talian”. They stayed friends all these years. When I got my first job out of school I worked about 1/2 mile from their house. I went over there and she did the “Italian woman going to feed a man” thing. “You look skinny? Is your new wife feeding you? Come on. Eat. You need to get strong to make babies”

Today I voted in the GOP primary. The D side was uneventful. This morning I saw one of my fundamentalist GOP nutjob friends (who I do love dearly) mention who they’d be voting for if they still lived here. I looked at his page and yeah he’s a goof. So I voted for him. Thought about Rinke or Kelly. I think Tudor’s got the only real shot at winning. totally ethical on my part to do that. They are asking me who I want the GOP nominee to be. I answered.

that doesn't work by the way.... I saw a thing on it "don't put too man onions" "I didn't put too many onions Paul... just 3 small onions" "Aw you gotta have the pork... that's the flavor" Part of me thinks Scorsese just put a bunch of old Italians in the room and told them to cook and set up his cameras and filmed.

Well I do think it showed us something. Saul/Gene had two opportunities we know of to not go hard. The Walt/Jesse scene was there so that Mike could come in and tell him about Walter and that he should just forget about him. He's dangerous. Saul ignored him. In the "present" he was told to not go after the cancer guy at the bar and he was given the choice again and he ignored it. If Saul took Mike's advice how different would have things played out for everyone in the show?
