Regarding payroll. if Skubal wins his case the estimated team salary will be about $215.5 mil about $202.5 mil if the Tigers win the case. That puts them above the nearly $200 mil opening day figure in 2017. According to Rosenthal in The Athletic, they are at least talking like going for it all this year at least. How much big money comes off for 2017? Are we still paying Javy? If they not competing come trade deadline I see them trading Skubal then, but for now I convinced they are all in.

They weren't Tigers but had a Detroit Baseball connection https://www.birminghamtimes.com/2026/02/clinton-tiny-forge-former-negro-leagues-catcher-from-birmingham-dead-at-age-90/ Ron "Schoolboy" Teasley https://www.mlb.com/news/former-negro-leaguer-ron-schoolboy-teasley-dies-at-99?adobe_mc=TS%3D1770246785|MCMID%3D75703849256014150018988617340891444480|MCORGID%3DA65F776A5245B01B0A490D44@AdobeOrg&affiliateId=mlbapp-ios_webview_news-index&rsid=mlbios.at.bat.new.implementation

Roy Face was a mainstay in my Pirate fandom days. Surprising he's around a 93 years young. Bob Prince used to call him "The Baron of the Bullpen"

They broke ground here a couple weeks back for a company to build guided missiles and some people went berserk. Didn't matter that the missiles were not armed and there is a big Navy weapons depot about 15 miles down the road... Until I asked if they preferred an ICE holding facility

When Obama roasted him at the Press Club Dinner back in 2011, he really went off the rails. He had already fallen into his conspiracy theories then. But a black man with a funny name winning the White House.... The same with most of the party...

He just has to follow the script. He doesn't care. He gets paid, that's all it's about for him. He cares about one guy, DJT

The senior Senator (R) from Mississippi checks in

He doesn't have to be smart, thats a feature in the Oligarchy Party. He's the pitch man, the guy in front of the camera for a manufactured game show. They tell him what to do and he does it. If he takes the fall so much better. Next patsy (JD) up,,,

Modern day Republicans, all lives matter, unless their non white

ICE is developing hardened criminals...

And remember Bezos also funded the Melania Movie. How many jobs did that cost?

Was trying to find a new masthead for the WP...

This is the daughter of a friend of a friend. Seems she's been around for a while, but new to me

I went to ChatGPT for a JD version of the Mark Anthony Speech...(Shakespeare) Got this, I think it fits

JD is an honorable man. said no one ever

Trickle down economy has never worked. All $$ eventually trickles up to the rich guys

Waiting to see if my TMobile deal will be around again this Spring. It won't help those in the Detroit Market, but with the exception of the O's and the Nat's its good here.

Taking it a step further, teams that paid "big money" for high school, college, players (around $7500-$10,000 in the late 50s and pre draft were required to keep the player on the big league roster. Teams also claimed territorial rights to players leading up to the draft. Basically it was the Wild West

Pretty much. That's what it was before the draft. Grama Google says the draft started in 1965. Rick Monday was taken by the Kansas City A's

Isaiah 58:1–12 Read it, live it

So, Alito was in the room where it happened? It's time to set term limits on judges...or maybe just age limits
