Fun fact, the FCC doesn't regulate newspapers (yet), so regime can't apply any kind of licensing threat to them.

Too late, I’m already short on that.

Trump might be an idiot who doesn’t know where his own ass is, but he knows where other people’s pain points are.

FWIW, the Tigers are tied for 5th in hitters’ walk rate for the month of September, during which we are 5-9. We also have the highest OBP on 3-2 counts for the season at .484, as well as the 4th highest BA and 6th highest SLG. I do agree it does look very bad when we flail on 3-2 counts.

Honest question: If the American economy is certain to blow up, what do you recommend our action item be here? Jurisdictional diversification? Gold bars and crypto? Something else?

If Tarik Skubal is our only hope, then we have no hope, because that’s not nearly enough hope.

I was at the Manny Lee game the day before.

The criteria being considered here were (1) not a moron, and (2) follow the law. Biden was both.

I think it's only one side we have to bring around to that idea.

Based on what we now know, Griffin is really 6'1" and 205 lbs.

Yup—this tracks:

This actually seems like somewhat of a problem.

For your Canadians and Canadaphiles among us.

Took me half a minute or so to figure out what they meant, but it's so kinda cool. You Can Get To Every State & Province Minnesota Borders By Only Travelling South

By the way, here is the table showing the data on the map just above: The funny part to me is, when I was a carpetbagger in Nebraska, I had the sidebar discussion with some coworkers about whether Michigan qualified as the Midwest. I said yes, of course it is; they insisted no, Michigan's an eastern state—partly because it's in the eastern time zone, and partly because Detroit itself just seemed like a rundown eastern city to them. So imagine how pleased I am that among midwesterners ourselves, Michigan is considered more a midwestern state than Nebraska is!

Yep.

When I was driving in Oregon in July, I stopped for gas in Seaside and saw that they did have self-service gas. I knew they still had full-service exclusively in Oregon but I did not know they had repealed the self-service ban just a couple years before. Yet, there was still a guy hanging around the pump looking conspicuously as though he was there to pump your gas anyway. I sensed it was basically a tipping opportunity, so I held firm and said thanks I got it. Also, he was pretty rough-looking, so much that I wasn't even sure he actually worked there.

Is this new to Michigan?

Most of the people consuming RWM.

I do believe this to be true, although to be fair, this is an attorney's allegation, not an ICE agent's confession.

Will Vest's various splits are very weird and mostly not good. The salient stat here is sOPS+ at the end. (sOPS+ is his OPS+ in that particular split versus league average of 100.)

Would someone please change the thread title to something other than "Guardians pound Tigers"? 😉

They are moving so fast, they will be coming after us civilians in a year’s time.
