  1. Did Carpenter call him off? I didn’t see it. That’s all on Kerry.
  2. I want tears man… seriously I love the sad fans. Especially in college sports as I have no allegiances.
  3. Did they adjust the lights to MLB standards for this game?
  4. The difference is this call would have been the final out and the next at bat was the final out. You are acknowledging a mistake but not changing anything. You can even keep Donald’s hit in the books. All they have to do is say “yeah it was a perfect game”. This isn’t a legal issue. Nobody can sue. It’s not the Supreme Court. MLB stats are not financial institutions that are audited. They are already imbalanced. I don’t see a “well if you do this then you must do that” scenario.
  5. I’m not sure pundits who covered presidents from when I was in middle school are in tune with the ways of today.
  6. I’m sure Seattle fans saw 6 games with the Tigers as the way back to first.
  7. E60 at 4 pm today is on Galarraga’s non perfect game. Manfred again said no change in plans to place his name on whatever list there is. I think doing something in this case is an easy decision. There’s no butterfly effect since he got the next out. You dont have to do it in other situations.
  8. And I generally go with a “rough” 20% plus a Buck. So for example our Thai food tonight was $61. By “rough 20%” I mentally go “20% of 60 is 12, add a buck so it’s $13” and I write the bill out for $74 plus the cents.
  9. I like the general principle I have seen lately where if I am expected to tip before I get my food and/or if I am ordering and paying standing up…. Little to no tip.
  10. Why is NV so close?
  11. Man this guy is so bad at this. I can't believe the hype around him originally. This has to infuriate Trump.
  12. would not be a fan of Gio being let go. Badoo and McKinstry have to be it. Th
  13. They have grown on me to be honest.
  14. No, it was in Dearborn Hts. Beech Daly and Annapolis area. Probably one step down the food chain from there. Just local routes came here. Ride your bike up there and hope the stash was small enough that you could stack it on your handlebars and "hold it" that way. Dexterity was a useful skill. No need to mess around with those bags and... well... those who used a wagon were dealt a slur I'd not use today and wish I didn't use back then.
  15. When I delivered pizzas in the Dearorn area in college I quickly learned the bigger the house the less likely a tip. Our city is a mixture of mansions and bungalows and the bungalows tipped best. We had some luxury hotels too that were hit or miss with their guests.
  16. we had a little station we'd pick up our papers at. Back of a building, just a giant warehouse type room. Mr. Stubee was the guy there. He had the covers of all the TV BOoks, lined along the walls near his desk. It was very cool. You'd go in and there were rows of tables with stacks for each route. Sometimes we had "fillers" where you had to put the ads for that day in the paper. On Saturdays and Sundays you had to do the same with the large supplements. And because of that is why our weekly "kick upstairs" was always different. We had to pay Mr. Stubee out of what we collected. Looking back now it was very bookie-ish. No accountability. He'd just say "Give me $32.85". And we did. I think I averaged about $40 a week in profit.
  17. My paper route is probably why I'm not that big of a football fan. Instead of watching Michigan or the Lions on Saturdays and Sundays, I was out collecting from my 40 customers. I had my little book with the two rings on it that I could hang from my handlebars. $1.65 a week, $3.30 for 2 weeks, $4.95 for 3 weeks..." I learned those real quick.
  18. oh yes... when he bought "a wood".
  19. at least he had the courtesy to cause it more in other countries than he did here.
  20. I liked Great White by the way
  21. Stuck in their bubble is exactly right. Nobody cares about the military stuff except people already voting for Trump. It will not stick. We’ve talked before about people playing by old rules and I think with Harris we have entered a new game. Trumps **** doesn’t work anymore.
