  1. we are overdue for a sweep against a division opponent.
  2. I do remember a elementary school friend being upset that Veryzer lost his job to "Alam Tremmel."
  3. Beware false prophets. Actually, curb stomp false prophets.
  4. Do not. DO NOT. Accept that this is all just a waste of time because Trump always gets away with it. He has lost many elections. He can be defeated at the ballot box. Crush his ass and overturn all this evil mess.
  5. I guess you have to have an X account to read threads now.
  6. The Real Car Reviews of the Cyber Truck is fantastic. Recommend. "Its an empty vessel for an empty person"
  7. Some interesting comebacks on this list: https://champsorchumps.us/team/mlb/detroit-tigers/comebacks Best comeback was 1911 against the White Sox when we came back from a 12 run deficit. Best "modern" comeback was 2003 of all years when we came back from 8 runs down to the Twins https://champsorchumps.us/team/mlb/detroit-tigers/biggest-wins Run margin appears to have topped out at 21-0 in 1901 against a Cleveland team that no longer exists. Best "modern" run margin was annus mirabilis (no, not miracle anus you children) 2006 with an 18-1 win over the Twins.
  8. The part they never heard because Trump's dark money flooded all their information inputs with nonsense.
  9. We lost-in-the-center nevertrumps try to help by not helping too much.
  10. Can you imagine how the last year has educated them with experience.
  11. Followed by a great example of forgiveness and humility by both.
  12. I guess he figured something out.
  13. Brent is a sarcasm guy.
  14. Candidates: Game 163 in 2009 against the Twins... full suckitude for losing but damn what a game. 2006 ALDS Kenny Rogers start against the Yankees at Comerica Park. That crowd was rocking. Game 5 1984 This one from the 1935 World Series seems like a humdinger Game 3 Friday, October 4, 1935 1:30 pm (CT) at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois Team 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 R H E Detroit 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 4 0 0 1 6 12 2 Chicago 0 2 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 0 0 5 10 3 WP: Schoolboy Rowe (1–1) LP: Larry French (0–1) Home runs: DET: None CHC: Frank Demaree (2) In Game 3, Frank Demaree's leadoff home run in the second off Elden Auker put Chicago on the board. A one-out single and subsequent error put runners on first and third before Bill Lee's ground out made it 2–0 Cubs. They added a run in the fifth when Billy Jurges drew a leadoff walk, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt and scored on Augie Galan's single. The Tigers got on the board in the sixth when Goose Goslin singled off Lee and scored on Pete Fox's triple. In the eighth, after a walk and double, Goslin's two-run single tied the game and knocked Lee out. Reliever Lon Warneke allowed two singles, the second of which to Billy Rogell scoring a run, then Fox stole home to make it 5–3 Tigers. Detroit brought back Game 1 starter Schoolboy Rowe in relief. He allowed three straight one-out singles in the ninth, the last of which to Ken O'Dea, before Augie Galan's sacrifice fly sent the game into extra innings, but Rowe nailed down the victory after Jo-Jo White's RBI single scored the winning run off Larry French in the 11th. This game remarkably featured four ejections. The Tigers lost coach Del Baker while The Cubs lost Woody English, Tuck Stainback and manager Charlie Grimm. Neither English nor Stainback were in the game.
  15. Good idea for a thread. What were those top 10? And I'd have to include all eras.
  16. If he played for the Yankees he'd be in the HOF already.
  17. I recommend the documentary about the Hungarian finance minister Miklos Nemeth who perhaps by failing to fund the border fence started the avalanche in 1989.
  18. Very interesting ad I keep hearing in my youtube feed that reminds people to vote (african american voice) "Virginians you need to vote by April 21...something something, your vote is private but your friends loved ones and neighbors can check to see if you did vote" I wonder if that's the African American community's effort to remind peers they have nobody to blame but themselves if Yes vote fails.
  19. ABS is now a feature in MLB the Show. I got it to work for me 1/2 times I tried it with 2 games played.
  20. We now need to complete the cycle of reform. That means the people in the United States need to also be out in mass the days before Fall 2026 and Fall 2028 elections to prove that we will not allow the people in power f with our democracy.
  21. The psychology of having China beat us back to the Moon might be all about us being up our own asses but it is still good to prove you can dunk on little brother before he (AND EVERYONE ELSE) decides you don't matter anymore.
  22. Jan 6 happened. Trump is actively trying to nationalize the elections. I think we have ample reason to fear he will do illegal things to stay in power. I agree taking stock of our fears is counter productive sometimes but risk assessment both negative risk (the crap that can go wrong) and positive risk (the risk of what you give up if you do not act) must be assessed equally.
  23. While this falls in the relatively innocuous “world politics” bin… The fallout from this is very cross-cutting.
