I just did an area measurement of Hart Plaza plus Woodward ave plus Campus Martius and it's about 89,000 m^2. If you have 3 people per square meter, which is probably on the high side for how close people actually are, that's what you would need for 250K. OTOH, there might be 25-40K inside the surrounding buildings.

Pure speculation but I'am going to guess Joe Kahn would as soon have made no statement about the Politico story at all, it's just inside baseball, but Sulzberger took it personally and couldn't leave it be so it came from corporate. J Rubin in WaPo has written a couple pieces eviscerating the Times coverage on journalistic grounds, but she never mentioned Sulzberger by name and NYT never said boo in response.

I usually worry more the other way - sometimes young men who mature fast streak out ahead of their peers only to plateau or get heavy and/or slow and end up left behind again. I sort of had a feeling the Tigers thought about Paredes that way - that he was going to 'grow' out of the quickness to remain an adequate IF and thus his positional value was low. That hasn't seemed to have happened. I admit that I thought that was a threat to Mike Trout's career early because he was so broad and muscled so young, but that certainly wasn't true either. Trout has run into injury purgatory but getting fat and slow hasn't been an issue! In any case, Clark seems to be having fun with things which I think is OK - until he starts talking about himself in the 3rd person.......Then we've got trouble.

Third paragragh feels dropped in or what left of something longer edited out. "However" doesn't really parse there. And 'instead' of what?

Bigger for sure.

It is odd but In this part of the world, 'soda' is what you mix with a whiskey and pretty much only that. I suppose since 'Soda' is short for 'Bicarbonate of Soda (sodium)', which is what club soda is, and a Coke doesn't have much sodium in it (compared to Club Soda), it's not a 'soda'. But I've been hearing 'soda' even in SoCal recently.

The first part absolutely, and given that they had DeBrincat and Larkin, Perron, and Kane, who are all great snipers, it's absolutely the right strategy on offense for them. SOG don't win games. BUT, OTOH, they are horrible in the D zone exactly as you point out because they don't attack possession. It was interesting to hear Moritz highlight that very thing in his exit interview discussion of what they need to do better. He gets it. The problem is that Wings forwards don't.

you can't make it up.

one report I read along the way said Clark's frame was already nearly maxed out (no pun intended). I assume that kind of assessment entails a fair amount of guesswork given all the genetic variability in the population, but FWIW I suppose if that person was right he would be closer to his power than a kid expected to fill out more?

correct.

apparently over admission of evidence about events not at trial. Unless CA lets him off also he's not going anywhere.

I guess in this case, 'culture' means mostly incompetence. I don't feel the Piston FO matches the WCF Lions FO in terms of treating players as chattel and seeing the fans as marks - but what they certainly share culturally is total lack of competence building a team. The Piston roster has been such an assemblage of incompatible misfit toys that any fan grabbed at random from section 109 to replace Weaver certainly would have done better.

Print journalists are relevant because what they write is still the raw material for most of what appears everywhere else downstream and online and even cable. Witness the big fight between the online services and the State of Ca over a bill that would force reimbursement back to the print industry. If the 'net didn't need what print was doing so badly, they wouldn't be screaming so loudly about being asked to pay for it.

I think the Pitchbot has probably done more the make the people at the Times think twice about it's headline writing on Biden stories than anything the admin has or could do. The self-righteous hate to be made fun of. Every admin gets petty with the press, but as a devoted NYT reader, I absolutely agree the Times is doing the country a total disservice in it's Trump coverage.

Sure, but they know they can't raise taxes significantly without bigger legislative majorities, so the concept of increased backing of workers rights is a practical strategy to deal with political reality. I give them credit for having their feet on the ground and not letting ideality stand in the way of working practically.

I guess they wanted a shot at home on the runner at 2B in case of a base hit - but it was only the 1st inning.

bingo - Benjamin Wittes

getting through the season without a significant injury to a Dman was an outlier outcome. Just do not want to see Petry back on the ice. If he has that much wisdom to offer make him an offer to retire into a coaching gig.

Hopefully he gets at least to Erie before seasons' end.

I knew the term had a familiar ring about it - the word has been around for a while. There is facebook emag/blogsite named Lawfare originally created in 2010. Run by ex- Pres admin types. https://www.facebook.com/Lawfareblog/

a tale of fly balls. Tigers had two drop deep on the track, Rays had one drop at 315' for HR.

Ooops. Win probability just took a dive.

Got to two outs but gives up the base hit. Tie game

Vest puts himself in a hole with a lead off double to Paredes.

BUDDY!
