Is it guaranteed to be limited to that, and not able to be used by a person with no official duty to perform who might be situated outside the field of play? I don't know either way, but it strikes me as possible until I hear why it's not.

OK, so, how is it OK for teams to use technology so someone perhaps not on the field of play can relay instructions to players, but it is not OK to use technology so someone not on the field of play can steal signs from center field and relay instructions to players?

The night Obama won in 2008 he had a victory rally in Grant Park and I rode my bike down there at 10 at night because it was well over 70 degrees. We don’t get that on March 20-whatever.

It’s no worse than starting the season in several cold locales on March 20-whatever.

Willi make it? Betti don’t.

Your moment of zen.

I agree if Cronenworth is done done, then it’s unfavorable. If he projects to even 1.5 average WAR for the rest of the contract, that’s probably about breakeven for a playoff contender. Won’t be our problem either way.

Who knows? There are no guarantees in baseball, either way.

If the gamble is that Cronenworth bounces back, which I agree is probably a good gamble, then he’s not a “1 WAR player”. Not that it matters to the Tigers because I don’t want him on the team anyway, and I think I’m gonna get my wish on that.

Maybe he’s a 1 WAR player this year in the same way Candelario was a 0.6 WAR player last year.

That’s because people have lower expectations of the Republicans than they do of the Democrats. It’s like when your bad kid talks your good kid into something like setting a fire in your garbage can and you catch them red-handed. Your bad kid is just doing what you already knew he would, so you roll your eyes and throw up your hands because you don’t know what you can do with him. But you’re mad at hell at the good kid because damn it, he knows better, so you’re going to punish him for it because you know he’s gonna get the message and straighten up and fly right.

I also don’t believe the Padres are going to dump Cronenworth to save money. His is actually a favorable contract, considering what they think they can get out of him.

I don’t know what kind of development can be had in that area, really. It’s largely an established residential area with a smattering of bar and self storage facilities and fitness centers and the like. It would be a little like putting a new stadium for the Tigers at 8 Mile and Schoenherr. You can fit a stadium there, but there’s otherwise not a lot of there there.

That’s the legend, anyway!

Is that a standard deep dish, or is it a true Detroit-style? They promote it as the latter.

That’s because government should not be seen as a business on which a profit should be turned. It is supposed to be of service to the people, that is, to promote the general welfare of the people. Republicans have no interest in that idea. They want to destroy public governance and replace it with private governance—still funded mandatorily by our public dollars, of course—and if the electorate keeps putting these people in office, that’s what we’re gonna get.

I would be fine with Monroe on the pre or post game, but please keep him far, far away from the radio booth.

Here’s a serious question, even though this is the type of question that practically begs a joke response, but what the heck, here goes: is Little Caesars Detroit-style pizza any good at all? Obviously it could never be as good as Buddy’s or Loui’s or Cloverleaf, but then, I don’t have Buddy’s even available to me, let alone the others. If I have a hankering for a Detroit-style pizza and LCE is the only option reasonably close to me, would it be acceptably good? Or is it like their standard round pizza and to be avoided?

I like that the Bears are on Thursday, the Packers are on Monday, and the Bears are on at 3:25pm, so the Lions noon game will definitely play on the local Fox affiliate, which prioritizes the Lions fourth of four teams in the NFC Norris as far as deciding which game to telecast when there is a time conflict.

Note my comment about never-Trumpers, aka "'sane' Republicans", above.

That's fine, BSD will make the decision as long as they have the obligation to do so, and MLB will simply inherit whoever is on the crew once they take over the broadcast.

In all seriousness, I think it behooves us to remember that Shepard was fired not by Scott Harris and the Tigers, but by Bally Sports Detroit, who have different imperatives than the Tigers when it comes to their end of the business. The front office may or may not have input into the decision, but the decision rests solely with BSD. Whether the new announcer is a baseball cognoscente is probably beside the point—it's pretty likely that all BSD cares about is that the new announcer represents and sells the product in the most audience-pleasing way possible. I gotta believe the only reason Shepard was fired all all was probably the same reason Avila was fired, or maybe even why Jeimer was let go: the public outcry around him rose to such an elevated level that the castle could not ignore the pitchforks and the torches any longer. I think it's likely that the feedback they were getting was that Gibson and Maybin and Monroe are great, but Shepard was pretty awful. So it's entirely possible they will find someone in the Shepard mold, and that might well be Greg Gania from Erie as some here prefer, or maybe even Dan Hasty from West Michigan as some here don't. But I think I would be surprised to see them steal away a Dan Orsillo- or Joe Davis-level talent for the Tigers. I honestly believe the viewers don't require or even care about that level of quality. If they did care, they would have wanted to run Gibson and C-Mo out of the booth years ago.

This xweet guarantees this nimrod will never lose another election for TX-22 ever again.

If Tom Nichols is mystified as to why Democrats are being blamed for not helping keep McCarthy in power, he should check in with Fox Views or NewsHax or Overthrow America Network and he can learn there. It's risky, though, since he may experience Raiders-like face melting afterwards.
