    Something has to change.    Just make a move to make a move.   Shake them up.   This team is in a Coma.  Perez, Short, Jones - no business being on a major league roster.   Dump them and call up Malgeri, DeJong and Max Anderson.  Do something.  Please.     The two starting pitchers you count on right now, Montero and Valdez give you really good starts and you waste them.    Get rid of Torkelson too.   Is there someone better to play first?  I don't know, but I've just had enough.   My patience with him is over now.   With the injuries he's one of the guys that needed to step up and he's been brutal the last two weeks.   Last 14 games 7 for 50 for a robust .140 BA.  4 RBI.  Just go away.   Just put Colt Keith over there.    

    Max Anderson is tearing it up at Toledo. I don't think they think his glove plays on an MLB middle IF but he'd probably do at 1st.

    Gratiot.  I should have known better because I took French in High School.  

    Years ago, when local TV ratings wars were the thing, one of the Detroit stations brought in a new crew, mostly hired from out East. The station with the people with most local depth started running commercials against them that highlighted an anchorperson representing one of the foreign imports mispronouncing Gra.tee.ot. It was a very well done takedown.

    In the Detroit area there are two road names that betray the foreigner - Gratiot, and for West siders 'Lahser' which the unfamiliar (including too many Detroiters actually) invariably dyslexicly read and pronounce as 'Lasher'

    Keep in mind these economic progressives who think billionaires are the scourge of the earth are endorsing a billionaire for governor of California. 

    we have DSA candidate for Mayor in A^2. I don't agree with the DSA on very much but I'll vote for anyone against Chris Taylor. If Taylor wins the primary, Mayor will be the only R vote on my general election ballot.

    I never heard that expression until I just saw it over and over again in a book recently: "The River" by Peter Heller.  Excellent book by the way. 

    I thought it might just be a made up expression for the book, but now I know it's for real!

    I think it goes back a way in Canadian and Aussie English.
