Was prepared for a patio under the lights with a fire going night but I got that alert and signed up. Signing up for free trials through Apple is great. Under subscriptions it tells you the expiration date and you cancel right from there. No logging into websites and fighting pushy chat bots. I use it also to alternate between Detroit news and free press subs. One of them is always pushing a 99 cent type promotion.

My wife says this could be 8 weeks of rehab for a normal person.

I did a cursory 10 minute check on Twitter Trending on Katy Tur and I think the criticism is pretty weak. Just seems like a circle jerk.

yeah they did that prior to the 1994 season. I have a Starter windbreaker jacket with that logo on the back. They opened up Tiger Stadium in the winter so you could go down and shop for all the new stuff and I bought it then. I found it in storage when doing a cleaning and just couldn't bring myself to get rid of it even though I haven't worn in in probably 25 years.

Katy drops Phish references so this is a little disappointing...

I blame a lot of the heat on these wannbe fanboys who are all over twitter hyping up the local team to be better than they really are so casual fans set their expectations too high. The org didn't talk playoffs for a reason. Sure in a weak division a near .500 team could contend but we're seeing the ALC is not weak. It's not the fault of Scott Harris that 3 other teams are playing better than reasonably expected so our .500 team is good for fourth place. They'd be around 2nd place in 3 other divisons.

I mean..... I wasn't even paying attention other than what was posted in this thread.

agree. If Chris Ilitch was going to be a no nothing owner content to rake in as much cash flow with as little effort as possible he would not have approved the hirings that went on. They just brought on some people a few weeks ago, along with those made in the past year or so, and throw in Jason Benetti while you are at it.... those aren't cheap hires and could have easily not been made and the general public wouldn't have noticed or cared.

I can envision all of this happening, speaking specifically of potential Trump voters: People are just fed up with the nonsense and circus and will not vote for him. They don't vote for him for the reasons in this tweet. Or it emboldens a base that was growing empathatic. I don't trust the polls to tell us the answer. We'll get it on Nov 5.

because raising money is more important than anything.

He texted him but Jose sent back 'who dis?' that just made him worse.

I can’t wait for the sentencing. Trump will be in a position he’s never been in. The judge will say very mean things to him. Stuff he’s probably not been told since maybe military school. He will have to sit there and listen to it and say yes sir or no sir. Too bad it isn’t broadcast anywhere.

Has that dude ever been right?

Jesus Christ. I’m stunned. Absolutely stunned.

I can’t tell if those are real Chuck which makes it even funnier and tragic

CNN expert suggests a mixed bag because of the checkbox paperwork. If it’s all or nothing it’s easy.

what kind of value would he have to someone else?

Ah, back to a "normal" time for a game.

"Pretty decent chance" is peak Nate Silver. Just throw **** out there with enough cover so that when he's wrong he can claim "Well I particularly didn't say he would be recalled". I'm not sure he's capable of ever fully answering a question with a simple yes or no answer. Lots of people in that thread I unfollowed. The world has changed so much that polling is becoming useless. That impact goes beyond elections. Corporations used polling and that kind of research and now they will find themselves not knowing what to do. As people gain more control over their choices in what they consume and why it means big business has to figure out how to give them what they want and to convince them to want what they provide. For generations people were force fed. Now everybody is on their own island and we can't figure out what they think or want. They'll tell us when they vote and buy/watch something.

Saw on the twitter... Alito can't control his wife but he wants to control yours.

If he doesn’t show something better throughout this year then it’s time to look for alternatives. That’s what this year is about. I’ve been patient with him but at some point you have to move on. If he goes on elsewhere to hit 40 bombs as a DH then God bless him. But an org doesn’t have to sit around waiting for a DH or below average 1B to “figure it out”. He won’t be a David Ortiz type player.

I don't know why but I never bothered to figure out if you could rewind... I thought I was stuck.

are you complaining that they called yesterday's game but not today's? What would you have done if the decision was yours?
