  1. It's really scary that there's a possibility that our concept of free and fair elections will be over.
  2. Remember this fake scandal?
  3. Then all the states rights guys will be like…
  4. I know it’s early but Tork is the Tigers best fielding 1B since… who? Am I brain farting on someone obvious?
  5. And the 1 was lame
  6. Obi Wan exceeded my expectations. And even better is the next episode is tomorrow. I really like the retconning of Hayden. He deserves it. We begun stanger things but the longer episodes are tough for us. It took us 2 nights to get through one. My wife can't stay up too late.
  7. If we give Roger a uniform then he would be eligible for the HOF again in 5 years.
  8. Can Kody pitch?
  9. How long did the jury deliberate? 15 minutes?
  10. If you want to show patriotism via clothing or apparel then use the colors red white and blue.
  11. I heard some fireworks here last night. In Michigan the law is that they are allowed based on federal holidays.
  12. The mental health solution by the right will be more church. On a side note. At our Memorial Day parade today. A biker group comes thru. One of them has an American flag with the words Trump and something about the 2A and right to bear arms. Totally inappropriate. There was was a plane flying overhead advertising a local auto sales company. Not a new car place but they have lots of ads in the area. Equally as tacky. Selling or promotional items either w business or candidate is wrong for Memorial Day activities.
  13. What is “Detroit roots” supposed to mean? It seems to be some branding thing by the Tigers.
  14. Think about it. Until the moment the guy started shooting people… in Texas and to gun nuts everything was ok. “Oh Look a guy in body armor with an AR 15 out in public. Totally cool. Don’t bother him. He’s probably a patriot”.
  15. How are fourth graders to be prepared when someone comes in and locks the door and starts shooting? What is “prepared” in that scenario. I don’t want to live in the world you think is required to prepare for this. That’s not normal.
  16. I will bash Ilitch all day long but I have to say their parking lots work pretty well this year. When you book through the ParkWhiz app it knows the event you are attending. So twice this year I have gotten refunds after paying to park. You pay ahead of time and have a barcode. My only cost last night was gas and some pizza because I intentionally ate a light dinner in anticipation of having pizza at the game. I am out of town for July 4 but expect to be able to trade mine in. Sabre I think you ca. do that once we are passed the july 4 date. Might be worth calling if interested.
  17. As soon as walked in we saw it on the scoreboard. Went up to my seats to see a friend who was sitting out on a table and they didn’t know. My third PPD this year. I have 3 afternoon games this homestand. Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. it was barely raining. Just a mist.
  18. yeah but God something Sacred something Founding Fathers something
  19. I was lucky to be at a good sports bar, B Boomers in Allen Park. I was part of a long planned road rally and it just so happened they booked the back room for the event. The only downside is I went to move my car because it wasn't parked in a good spot so during that 3 minutes I missed McCarty's goal.
  20. I'll never forget when the sports shows did that thing where our station calls theirs and they talk on the air a little bit. This was in the 1999 playoff series. They get on and the Colorado guys make their usual Detroit violent city schtick routine and then Rob Parker, broken clock right twice a day kind of thing, says "Wait a minute, the bullets were flying out there" and the Colorado guys got really offended, this was after Columbine. Parker's like "Wait, so it's ok for you to joke about violence in Detroit ?" I'm over the milking of it. Not really a fan of McCarty. I see it as, you beat them, you won 3 cups in that era (1996-2002), they only won 2, you beat them twice in the playoffs on the way to 2 of those 3 cups. Take the high road now. However... I don't think the 1997 Wings experience will ever be duplicated in Detroit from any team. Yes if the Lions win the SUper Bowl that will be a bigger deal but I'm talking the overall celebration. You can't replicate that in February. It was beautiful weather in early June. Everywhere you went people were out partying, at least it was on Telegraph and other places near where I live. The shots of Yzerman on Woodward with the cup over his head while like 500K people are behind him. That's fucking Freddie Mercury at Live Aid Radio Ga Ga stuff.
  21. yesterday it looked horrible but little by little it's looking better. I have tickets so was monitoring. Yesterday it looked like 80% chance throughout gametime. Now it's under 50 but also says "Scattered T Storms" so the thunder portion could be an issue.
  22. I could not fucking care less about hurting the legal gun owner. I care more about kids. Fuck gun owners and their precious rights. If they can't wait a bit or don't want to go through a few layers of bureaucracy to keep society safer overall then they deserve whatever hurt they imagine they are getting.
