Swepted in Seattle. I vividly remember an Ms fan jumping on the roof of the Tiger dugout with a broom and sweeping the Tigers right after the final out of the series.

Yes, I hate west coast swings, too. Seems an extra drag to start the season out there. I remember the days of long, long ago, trips to the west coast meant 3 straight series at California, Oakland, and Seattle. Some combination of Texas, Kansas City, Minnesota, and Chicago made up the other trips to the west division foes. And twice a season, too. And you’ve heard of the Ernie faux pas of Bill Freehan beating his meat late one night in California, right?

Party pooper.

Only 3 off days in April and 2 in May. Season starts out west with 4 in Seattle and 3 in Oakland.

Loss.

Miami Heat (18-12) vs Detroit Pistons (4-24)

Still has the tag on it.

What are the odds Trump got stuck in the bathtub and had to pried out of it by six people, too?

Man, awake before 5am on a Saturday morning for this tilt. Can't wait.

The part a lot of people don't understand about "personal choice/freedom" is how the results of those choices/freedoms can affect others. Hospital overcrowding has been a known possibility for a long time. How many COVID patients are eligible to be vaccinated but aren't? Oh, and speaking of hospital overcrowding... I think by now most people have made their vaccination choice. If hospitals get overcrowded, the unvaxxed COVIDs can be sent home. Piss on 'em.

Yeah, I saw something by someone somewhere or another that Crane would authorize a 6 year deal at a high AAV with an opt out after two. I did some light maths earlier today. Correa is looking for a Lindor deal, 10/$350M, an AAV of $35M. He has played in about 80% of MLB games since his debut. The Tigers offered 10/$270M (allegedly), an AAV of $27M. 80% of $35M is $28M.

It'll be gone by Easter.

This sounds different than the “Correa or bust” mantra that we’ve heard around here.

Got a note from our kids’ district about this. They mentioned extra policing on hand tomorrow and continuing to monitor the situation. Pretty soon the only difference between school buildings and jails will be the lack of barbed wire around school buildings. But, hey, at least the second amendment of the Constitution (the wonderful document that originally ignored broads and coloreds) will be maintained.

Alaska has the interwebs?

FWIW, I was flipping channels not long ago and saw that the reboot featured a Detroit Tigers hat on an actor.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I would think the best option for him would be to try to drift off into obscurity as much as possible.

Conservative or antivaxx & antimask?

Doesn't make any sense at all. I've been driving for over 30 years. Have not had a moving violation for 20 years. Yet my vehicle requires for governance than a machine designed to kill? And for the political party that "backs the blue", how does this accomplish that? Wouldn't you want patrol units to be notified if they are dealing with someone that's packing heat?

Won't someone please think of the student-athletes?

Detroit Pistons (4-22) vs Indiana Pacers (12-18)

My reaction to the booster was worse the previous 2 shots combined. I had Moderna for all 3. The first 2 there was the normal arm soreness after a flu shot. No big deal. I had a bit of dizziness the morning after the 2nd shot. That was about it. I had the normal air soreness the morning after the booster. It gradually worked its way to pain, and I couldn't move my arm in certain ways. Couldn't raise it fully extended above my shoulder. It was really pretty bad (although catching myself wandering around the house with a T-rex arm was slightly & morbidly amusing). Still sore 48-72 hours after the booster. I also chills for a few hours that started up in the middle of the day. I have a bit of drafty office window, and I kind of assumed that that was it at first, but that wasn't really the culprit. But, hey, those short term side effects were known & understood and I'll take those over the possibility of being strapped to a ventilator or developing myocardia or those types of things.

It might be different now, but when I worked for Kroger (in a store as a rank & file) over 20 years ago, I was making well over minimum wage and had health care coverage.

I gotta be honest, avocado toast sounds like a terrible start to the day. Maybe I'm missing something.
