  3. In the long run I’m hoping for a Pilots/Mariners series
  4. I’m not sure they would have signed Prince if Victor was healthy. But then Mr I loved shiny objects

  6. It's amazing that he ruined his arm tossing underhand, very slowly
  7. I had a high draft number. I did not try to avoid the draft like our Chief Executive did. BTW, I lost a cousin there, just a few months after being inducted. He drove fuel trucks thru the mountains. He lived in Chesterton IN The story I heard several years after his passing was he was filling in for someone who showed up drunk and filled in the day of the “accident”
  8. October 10 https://www.history.com On October 10, 1767, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon complete their survey of the boundarybetween the colonies of Pennsylvania and Maryland as well as areas that would eventually become the states of Delaware and West Virginia. The Penn and Calvert families had hired Mason and Dixon, English surveyors, to settle their dispute over the boundary between their two proprietary colonies, Pennsylvania and Maryland. 1845 The United States Naval Academy opens in Annapolis, Maryland, with 50 midshipmen students and seven professors. Known as the Naval School until 1850, the curriculum included mathematics and navigation, gunnery and steam, chemistry, English, natural philosophy, and French. The Naval School officially became the U.S. Naval Academy in 1850, and a new curriculum went into effect, requiring midshipmen to study at the academy for four years and to train aboard ships each summer—the basic format that remains at the academy to this day. 1973 Less than a year before Richard M. Nixon’s resignation as president of the United States, his Vice President, Spiro Agnew, resigns in disgrace. The same day, he pleaded no contest to a charge of federal income tax evasion in exchange for the dropping of charges of political corruption. He was subsequently fined $10,000, sentenced to three years probation and disbarred by the Maryland court of appeals.
  9. I’ve been following the discussions about one on the other end of the state from us. Botetourt County,Va. Still a fairly rural area but experiencing growth from next door Roanoke. Some interesting dynamics, still a lot of folks want to see the county remain rural like the 60s and 70s opposing anything that encroaches on older farms and orchards. I think the site in question is located fairly close to Roanoke City’s reservoir which takes water from a nearby river and a major creek. The Valley needs something to offset the loss of any major industry. Especially since Norfolk Western left over 50 years ago
  10. I'm sure this is going to work out just fine
  11. So Trump is bailing out Argentina who in turn is selling soybeans to China who involved in a trade war over Tariffs. Meanwhile U-S soybean farmers get screwed again, because of those tariffs.
  12. All those drugs he did at UVa. Back when it was the Good Ole Boys school
  13. Not surprising. These types always seem to over promise and under perform. Especially when there is little accountability
  14. Surprised our resident troll hasn't signed up yet...
  15. I'm thinking part of he was trying to get into the Tiger pitchers heads. Causing a distraction and taking away their concentration. But thinking back to what would happen with regularity during the latter part of the season when a pitcher would cruise along only to suddenly lose it makes you wonder if somebody, catcher or pitcher is tipping and it was getting noticed. Also some of these terrible runs of giving up hits were accompanied by or shortly after either a fluke play or bonehead error

  17. Not to mention bragging about assaulting women, "when your famous they let you do it" My mother would have broken a tree trunk over my backside it I had said that
  18. The original name for the old ballpark was Navin Field, after the owner in 1912. It became Briggs Stadium in 1938 when Walter Briggs bought the team. Tiger Stadium came to be in 1961 with ownership change, John Fetzer became sole owner. If we continued that trend.....
  19. The Athletic had a story on what's happening here. Not necessarily the Tigers but other teams and pitchers. It's not the signs, but the pitchers tipping the pitch. Usually something subtle in the pitchers movement, his set uo, glove angle or even the way the catcher sets up. The increasing numbers of cameras around the ballpark and multitude of things like iPads and computers in the dugout or just outside. The broadcast during game 2 alluded to Naylor closely studying the Tigers pitchers when he wasn't batting, but watching closely. Maybe their not just watching opposing pitchers, but also opposing batters for subtle signs, above and beyond already noted tendencies. edit, here's the article https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6691711/2025/10/06/mlb-pitch-tipping-paranoia-camera-ipads-pitch-clock/ I forget who the Tiger batter was yesterday who grounded out to first base relatively early in the game collided with Naylor during a particularly hard groundout. The batter knocked Naylor's hat off in the process. For a second it looked like there might have been blows.
  20. October 8 https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/october-8 Of 37 separate fires that break out on the same day in the Great Lakes region, three are massive. The Great Chicago fire killed 300, the Great Michigan fire 300-500, and the Wisconsin Peshtigo fire—history's deadliest—killed least 1,200.
