  1. Hopefully they send the national guard to Utah. what is going up up there?
  2. Can you show evidence of this claim?
  3. I think it's his best speech. 63 years ago today.
  4. I think the article's point to link this to the Tigers is a bit of a stretch. This is a corporate culture issue within the Ilitch Organization. These are people who could be doing jobs anywhere. It's not about the baseball team, even if their current role relates to that job at the time. It's not the late 90's Tigers on the team plane harassing flight attendants. Even the Maybin and Monroe things are throw ins. Maybin didn't do what he did because of what happens in offices across the street. The Monroe situation appears to have gone nowhere and the team took that as a chance to cut bait with a story they didn't want to be a part of. Again, that's not because Bob in Accounting made a comment about Jan's butt. I think any investigation into a large conglomerate in this country would show this taking place. It's not condoning it obviously but when shown a group of 1,000 men there's still pigs around and that's the case with Ilitch Holdings.
  5. Charlie Kirk was a scumbag racist and sexist.
  6. "If it wasn't for Trump, it would have been 2000 employees"
  7. as a kid we went to some Tiger Wives vs Channel 4 softball game. That’s me in the lower left after getting Marty’s autograph. I also had photos or Rupper Jones, Petry, and Lance from a distance.
  8. My wife wants to see it. Some purists are bitching because they used AI to enhance some scenes to make them wider. For example if the uncle walks into a scene then they widen so that you see him sitting there. It’s harmless. This isn’t Art. Everybody has seen it a million times so this is just a twist.
  9. of this? Yes. Capable. Not probably. I'm not ready to go there yet but a non secret service protectee? sure that's doable from people with expertise in things like this. Is it doable morally? Absolutely. These people have no morals. They think they're going to heaven anyway. I don't buy the conspiracy on the Trump attempt because it is JFK like in the required web of people and agencies to pull it off.
  10. nothing to offer except congrats on the new job. I remember your post about when you lost your job.
  11. I went to a concert at Pine Knob yesterday which meant I was occupied with getting ready and driving out there, etc. No time to really digest this. But my brief scrolling showed me lots of empathy and concern for someone who didn't do the same for others. He wasn't a nice person to people he disagreed with and in this situation those same people were nice to him and his family. I reject that in today's world "both sides are the same"
  12. not a good look for the Ilitch company. Disappointed in Maybin.
  13. I have an agreement with 7 big Italian dudes who will wear nice suits and pinkie rings to show up at my funeral. I also gave them envelopes of cash to give to my wife and kids with instructions to say "this was his take this week... we never got a chance to kick it up to him. He was a good boss."
  14. Tonight we want KC to win because Cleveland’s elimination number would drop to 10 with a loss.
  15. that is when I became aware of and started reading Mitch Albom. He wrote a column about it. Then I discovered writers could be cool. That was before the mustard.
  16. Jerry Cantrell is here tomorrow. I’m already going to see Tedeschi Trucks on Wednesday and Bonnie Raitt and Jimmy Vaughan Saturday. Does the old man have it in him to go tomorrow?
  17. Would it go down since Cleveland then leap frogs them in the standings? I legit don’t know and can’t figure it out now.
  18. A good opportunity to point out that if Bill Freehan were in the HOF he'd be far from the worst person to be in there. He'd not even be the worst Tiger in there.
  19. This game pissed me off. First time this year. Usually I’m level headed. But backing into the playoffs and losing a series when you possibly will have home field will be a bummer.
  20. Much of the criticism of him is by people who don’t understand the current role of managers within the organization. It’s not like before.
  21. You make it sound like a video game where as long as things balance out on paper, in your opinion, then the deal gets processed. Like a credit card transaction. Each org determines the value of who they want and who they give up. You don’t know what that value is, on either side, because you weren’t in on the discussions.
  22. But I am not following the point of the distinction. In either scenario they are the AL Central champs and having nothing else to accomplish after 11 wins. Nobody will refer to them as the “outright” champions or anything but the champions if they happen to have the same record. They have earned the title by the basis of the rules in both scenarios.
  23. Tigers have clinched back to back winning seasons for the first time since 2013-2014.
  24. I hear it’s a nice area
  25. Ever notice that some users only post after losses?
