That was an issue for years at Wrigley, and then when they updated the speaker system (which they ballyhooed all that winter), it was hardly any improvement at all. We're guessing that the natural acoustics attendant to the configuration of the second deck, with its posts and a roof with a mish-mash of exposed girders underneath, defeats any attempts to improve aural intelligibility.

Funny you say because my wife and I were talking to a woman at a game last season who said she hated the new pitch timer specially because it did not give her enough time to go get a beer in between innings.

Hey, maybe that's why there are no games starting before 3pm local in any market. EDIT: D'oh! Tomorrow is Good Friday, not today!

You mean November! Come on, man, aim high! 😃

Javy has gone 4-for-4 exactly three times in his 1,142-game career. I don't know what the expected number of 4-for-4s would be by a guy who's played that many games, but at first blush, it seems low.

Read the thread.

I do find it interesting how the basic Constitutional right to free speech gets questioned by people when the slight inconvenience of the free speech being actually exercised forces them to have to find a somewhat less-direct alternate route to Walmart.

You also truncated the post to in an attempt to change the point from being mine to being yours, although, honestly, I'm not sure you even followed up on your own point here.

Not even close to what I was talking about.

So many meh series would be so much better as a really good feature-length film.

It’s borderline offensive to conflate a woman exercising her Constitution right to protest while having a baby in a jumper on her back as being a human shield, with the idea of terrorists actually using babies as actual shields and putting them in a position to be killed in order to protect themselves. Believe it or not, they are not even close to being the same.

A light light reading to get us going: https://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2024/03/28/detroit-tigers-2024-predictions-who-will-win-the-al-central-title/73115308007/ https://detroitsportsnation.com/10-bold-predictions-for-2024-detroit-tigers/wgbrady/tigers/detroit-tigers-analysis-and-opinion/03/26/2024/449811/ https://www.blessyouboys.com/2024/3/25/24111356/detroit-tigers-byb-roundtable-predictions-for-2024-mlb-season https://www.justbaseball.com/mlb/detroit-tigers-2024-season-preview/ Here’s a back-handed compliment from a national guy: https://nypost.com/2024/03/25/sports/al-central-2024-preview-prediction-tigers-youth-will-deliver/

HAPPY OPENING DAY!

I was going to post something along these lines today, but I wanted to find some parallels between him and what the Bible says the Antichrist was, and I ran out of gas quickly on it, so I bailed. Glad someone bigger than me got there first. Now that I think of it, the 2 Corinthians post was pretty close to that.

That's not the part I found not believable.

Thanks for weighing in, Professor Buzzkill.

I'm pretty sure someone here posted an article about that, or maybe at the old site.

That doesn't sound like the kind of guy who could be stopped from having rallies.

Now Joe is free to run for Vice President of Heaven on John McCain's ticket.

So someone is telling Trump not to do rallies because he looks senile when he does, and Trump is agreeing to that? Trump is letting someone else call the shots for him? I don't know, that doesn't sound right to me.

You are routinely conflating "leftists" with being 100% death-to-Israel, or at least as not being as performatively pro-Israel as you are being. I assume you regard me as a "leftist", seeing how that's a pejorative to you. Anyhow, bad analogy. MAGA is not nobody. MAGA is Donald Trump and tens of millions of followers, many of whom are well-known to be armed to the teeth and itching for a fight. I have no idea who the **** these people in the prior page are, but when I start seeing them and others like them perpetrate murder in the name of Free Palenstine—or whatever it's called—here on American soil, then I will consider lighting my own hair on fire in solidarity with yours.

They're children. Maybe a third of them are serious about the issue itself, maybe; another third are doing it so they can get laid by someone else in the group; and the remaining third will end up voting for Barron Trump in 2052.

I don't know who that is, either, because he's almost certainly a bigger nobody than the other guy whose name I've already forgotten. Neither of them speak for me so as a liberal, I don't appreciate being mindlessly lumped in with either of them, as though either were speaking on behalf of me.

And when Trump violates the gag order, the judge will give him a good tut-tutting by wagging an index finger back and forth a couple of times.
