  1. A case can be made for him to be in the HOF. Seriously.
  2. Regarding Chet Lemon.... I suggest every Tiger fan read that article in the freep. It's very moving. My wife has patients like that. She told me of one who could only say the word 'Ohio'. She knew what she wanted to say and could think it.... but it came out as "ohio".
  3. It's baseall. Water finds its level. Cleveland is on a 4-6 streak, MN on a 2-8 streak, Tigers 8-2. That could easily flip around in the next two weeks. Of course... 2009 beckons.
  4. That's probably the only clue they have. They walk in the locker room and don't see his locker and see Will Vest walking around...How else can you convey it with such little information?
  5. Horror has a strong following. There was an article about one of the last video stores anywhere, in Dearborn Heights, and the owner said they do a lot of DVD rentals for horror movies. I went into a store last week and I noticed a lot of that genre on their shelf, coupled with leftover TV Series and movies. But the horror area had a lot of titles. Regarding the movie industry overall... the old timers like to blame superhero movies but that's not it. The super hero movies are keeping it alive. Gone are the days where you just randomnly pick a movie on Friday or Saturday and go in to watch. Not because they don't make the movies but because that's not what peple want to do anymore. They have streaming at home. They have big TV's. They can choose. Movies now are events. Barbie, Oppenheimer, Marvel, etc. A run of the mill movie, like most of those on this list, not a criticism but that's what they were, is not worth the investment of time and money now. You can wait a few months and watch for free on your own big screen and on your own time with your own food/drinks and take a break when you need to use the bathroom.
  6. What an amazing article
  7. Petry said something during the broadcast a few days ago that he wasn't sure if Chet would make it due to health issues.
  8. the latest Kamala Kontroversy. She claims to have worked at McDonald's but.... didn't put it on her resume.
  9. What the **** is RSBN? I'm guessing somethign only found on streaming apps like freevee, pluto, or whatever. Then people in the rurals, who don't have cable or satellite, find that on their stick and leave it on all day, so that becomes their normal.
  10. I think you just taught me a thing I will use.
  11. I felt cheated on Sixth Sense because I figured it out. I’m not bragging because I wish I didn’t and I try hard to not figure things out because I like surprises. I don’t read reviews and cut people off when they try to tell me. I don’t even want to know if they liked it or not.
  12. I’m thinking specifically of the bullpens games. I’m not suggesting it will. Just that is what my brain is expecting. A too good to be true kind of thing. This can’t go on can it? Maybe I remember the wings in February of this year.
  13. I had 2 early games postponed. But that’s not unusual in April or May.
  14. She’s just jealous she had a real job.
  15. I don’t care about the playoffs. Just keep doing what they are. Progress. I keep expecting the wheels to come off any moment.
  16. He's right.
  17. Those names... people loved JaCoby.
  18. My favorite is Office Space. Two other previous favorites did not age well... American Pie and American Beauty. I mean... a girl gets spied on via the internet, the whole school sees it... .and she's the one who's punished by being sent home? American Beauty? Even without what we know about Spacey.... the lusting after the HS school and how she's presented. Icky. Talented Mr. Ripley was also released that year and... I hated this movie. I know it's got love by people but this is the only time I wanted to leave the theater. I was legit angry. The Green Mile is worthy of note. Great cast when you look back on it.
  19. I was still home by midnight. Back in the old days when I would go with a certain friend all the time, that wasn't unusual. The 7 start time, a 3+ hour game, driving him home first... it wasn't so bad last night. I was the only one sitting in the box seats of sections 213-217. I went downstairs to get another beer and was standing there watching and an usher told me to go on down there if I wanted as long as I am not obnoxious. So I did. Almost got a ball in the ninth but I had my beer in my left hand so I couldn't turn around fast enough as it bounced off the facade. I grabbed it with my left hand but another guy had a better angle.
  20. I didn't read it yet but there's an article going around by Will Bunch calling Harris the first post media presidential candidate. She's turned her back on legacy media that's focused on clickbait and both sidesing. And it appears to be driving them mad.
  21. Yea. I didn’t get dressed up for nothing.
  22. I’m pleasantly surprised how many are here.
  23. That’s what it said an hour ago. But this is the view west.
