I hope his salary is being docked and the Wings are donating it to a vaccination effort somewhere.

Until the careful people like Archie and Tigerholic and Romad come to the conclusion that despite the care they take they are still part of the problem, things in the US won't change.

I've always hated the shootout. But I have to admit I do hate them less since Jimmy Howard has retired.

So Bertuzzi may not be their best player, but he is the player whose absence affects the way they play more than any other right now.

Tork probably has a higher probability of making the team out of ST than Paredes. And Clemens is probably ahead of Paredes him on the 2B depth chart now. Isaac hasn't been able to get his bat straightened out at all since his Mexican league run last winter.

yeah - and there is some subset of the population who could safely handle nuclear material in a home reactor as well, doesn't mean it still wouldn't a big mistake to allow it in a society.

well, 2 pts is 2 pts.

that was a really bad luck goal, but the way the Wings are lagging it was becoming inevitable. LOL - perfect post timing. 2-2

IDK - was having a terrible winter. Well maybe that will be a good sign after having a good winter last year and not being able to hit anything once the season started.

LOL - every which way and finally it went in.

well, Cade had a great shooting night. 10/13 and 5/7, but only one trip to the line and only one assist - so one step forward and one step back. But this is the stat of the night. Pistons other than Cade were 4/28 from the 3 pt line. 14% How can a front office set out to build a basketball team and just forget that someone on the roster needs to be able to put the ball in the hole?

salt of the earth.... article says the kid had made social media posts with the gun. Might explain the story that quoted one student having said he decided to stay home that day.

looking like there isn't going to be any herd immunity gained against Delta. Better get your asz vaccinated because everyone is going to get it before it's done.

what a goof ball hockey game. Goals called back, linesmen that can't run a faceoff, penalties up the wazoo. All that and nothing tallied.

Yes, I think they will have him at least keep a hand in to be ready. You don't want Harold Castro playing everyday if Jeimer gets hurt.

No

from the NYT story 61? are you kidding me?

Manfred mendacious, contract ceilings fall like leaves. Tigs have-y leather

always thought Dave Mason was in the YB. Wrong again.

you make your own argument though Arch. If you have a more volatile society - for whatever reason, maybe it's a good idea to reduce the availability of lethal weapons at the hand for a people growing more irritable? There is stuff we know how to do and other stuff we know a lot less well how to do. It seems the height of folly to me to pass on the solution you can do in favor of bewailing that you don't know how to solve the problems you can't. And since the bottom line is that to widely disseminate personal killing devices actually serves no useful purpose in a civil society, there is no real cost to removing them - other than their entertainment value. That's should be a pretty easy call for a rational person/society to make in my book.

The film shows that Greene can make all the highlight catches - I don't think that part at least is a question. What you can't normally see from clips is how good his 1st step was, and that is what really separates the elite OFs like Hill.

My other guess is that the young pitchers are better than we even give them credit for. How many of their innings were extended or starts cut short by all the extra outs the defense gave up? That kind of thing snow balls into more fatigue on the mound and more batters faced by bottom of the barrel relievers. Park Hill or Greene in CF and Schoop at 2B next to Baez, you have your GG catcher in place and maybe we take 0.5 off the team ERA. That's 80 runs off the team's differential before anyone even develops a new pitch or hits any better. I don't think the Tigers will need to be a top offensive ball club to be competitive. Barring more pitchers going down anyway.

There are news stories this week on the Merck drugs review before the FDA review panel. This one is apparently just a bit less exciting than the early press reports. The full data is ended up being so week they only got a 13-10 approval vote. The mechanism of the pfizer drug requires it be given very early in the infection cycle. It appears to work well enough but if you need to take it essentially before you know you are sick that is going to limit its real world impact. On the one hand, given the time frame as much progress as they have made is amazing, but it's still not really much progress.

so the Lions may have cost Day a job the same weekend M cost his team a championship? Kewl.
