Box score has a triple.

Thank god for other bad teams.

At least there would be one competent Avila in the Tigers Family. Yes. You are right. I’d cast my vote for Alex as well.

Two for the price of one. Tigers are looking for some instant runs. He kicks and deals … And a man from Warren will take that one home with him.

Nice ꓘ by Faedo.

First of all, G-d damn you for making me have to listen to Matthew Shepard and Jack Morris on this replay. 😉 But seriously, I hadn’t seen the live play, just the replay, and you can see here that the camera angle hides the bobble behind his body. But on the “live” play during this replay, it’s a different camera and you can more clearly see the bobble.

Looked like a triple to me. I didn’t see him bobble it on replay. Looked to me like it bounced around that weird corner out there.

Harold hittin’ a triple!

Another hit. Just Neifi being Neifi.

Heads-up play by Faedo on the 1U. His momentum toward first was so strong it totally made the most sense.

That’s harsh. Meadows has already fashioned a better career than both those guys combined.

I read this as Cornyn clapping back at the tweeter by pointing out a previous Court precedent that was also overturned. I don’t think he’s suggesting reinstating Plessy by overturning Brown. I’m not saying he would not mind doing so—maybe he’d like to. I’m just saying I don’t think that’s what’s going on here.

I don’t remember even that as an established shorthand phrase used by any local broadcaster specifically referring to Tiger Stadium. I may not have been listening close enough, though.

Even pretending a third party candidate could win, good luck establishing a relationship with a Congress none of whom are in the same party as you. A far more likely outcome is a third party candidate securing enough electoral votes (probably in the south and southwest through a, I don’t know, overturn-the-13th-amendment platform or something) to deny any candidate getting a majority, at which point the president gets chosen by the House using that completely asinine one-state/one-vote arrangement that Eastman wanted to unlock a couple years ago.

I would also think the guy getting the second most votes and still winning the election is a strong #4.

What, medicine-for-obscene-profit is not a third?

@pfife@Biff Mayhem I picked up this t-shirt in Detroit Tiger navy a couple years ago. Simple, direct, and compliment-inducing (at least among the over-60s!).

I wish I could feel comfortable doing anything electrical. Our relatively new HVAC does not have a hard start kit. They cost $50 and under on Amazon. I’m paying the installing company $279 to do it.

Shut up and play your guitar.

Yeah, some people forget that “long gone” was not Ernie’s long-time home run call. Just like referring to Tiger Stadium as “The Corner”—he didn’t do that until at least the 1990s.

That’s because Republicans lead with fear, which almost by definition spurs reaction and action, while the Democrats have traditionally led with hope, which is basically the opposite.

I hate it when Pat Hughes if the Cubs does that on no doubter home runs, which he does all the time—it is, regrettably, his signature home run call—and I don’t like it any better when Dan does it.

It’s true, companies are not going to stampede out of Texas and Florida en masse starting today. But over time, as these states boldly and proudly adopt more fascist laws that are out of step with most of the rest of America—particularly those intended to punish the freedom to just be—some companies who rely on top industry talent to stay competitive will peel off as they lose that talent, or fail to attract sufficient new talent; and companies looking for a move will think twice before moving there. The only way Texas et al will be saved from an economic crippling due to these freedom-sapping laws over the next couple or so decades is either (1) wake up to the negative impact and at least moderate their moves in passing these laws; or (2) the United States becomes a one-party fascist autocracy molded in the image of Texas et al Republicans. I know which one they’re working for.

I’ve been noodling this a bit more, and I don’t know how that would work in blue states. Congress passed a law (during the Trump years!) prohibiting Justice from interfering with state marijuana laws, so unless they change that at the federal level, which they would need 60 Republicans in the Senate to do, I assume (unless someone kills the filibuster), I’m not sure how they get there. So I could see a path to Michigan outlawing weed again, but it’s going to be a tall order to do that in Illinois. All this assumes, of course, there’s no extralegal way to work around laws on books.

I don’t care, but at the same time I just wish I didn’t have to find out. It didn’t used to be like this. You remember those days.
