the Brewers used to be in the East! I remember that. Wow, shake the cobwebs.

I want Gleyber back but he'd better be ok. This isn't just his star treatment to avoid a rehab assignment.

Who do Vance's enablers want as VP?

Facebook is infected with low-information people and their influencers. Weird now that my brother has access to youtube to watch the clickbait Lions stuff. There is so much low-quality content because the Lions are good and he has no ability to filter it. I wish i could steer him to the better feeds. So, a phone call with him will be like "Hey did the lions sign a pass rush specialist yet?" and I'm like "1. I don't know I was at work all day and 2. they can't afford another expensive pass rush guy because that isn't how they manage the salary cap." I learned the latter after listening to a bunch of Pride of Detroit pods where they would stress that you can't afford two Aiden Hutchinson's on the DL unless its for a limited time given the cap realities. He's just going off Valenti and these clickbaiters. Same thing with the Tigers. He was all over Alex Bregman because that was the thing of the offseason. They probably should have landed him but not having him won't necessarily kill the season as some say.

First they have to perform a song of praise for Dear Leader.

Also, they undervalue the sweet ca$h from all that surface parking.

having just received my tax bill which is about 50% higher than last year's and knowing its not going down because the people you identify above won't be interested in my pocketbook over theirs ... i am in agreement that the Billionaires appear to have purchased the right leader for them.

24 out of 30 seems wrong to me. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/11/cnbcs-official-mlb-team-valuations-2025.html We have significant headwinds apparently. Our multi-generational fanbase isn't reflexively buying enough merch and our media relationships are still tied to Joey Breakyaboni and the casino element. I guess the other problem is that the revenue flywheel provided by luxury boxes won't be strong. These are not going to sell if the local industry is in depression.

Must have had dissenting views.

I post this more as a placeholder than a realistic thought that he could be impeached for this. He can't be impeached until the Dems have the House and Senate with large enough majorities that the marginal Republicans feel they can go along with an impeachment. The blue wave of 2026 would have to be very large indeed for that to play out.

Could. She could also have taken measure of the man and decided she needs to fight this. That's the wishful/wishcasted version of this by me.

never underestimate the value of direct experience of both people and places.

Where is openly flaunting the rule of law to profit while fellow citizens lose their life savings on this graphic?

And his staff are notorious Machiavellian swine.

You have the luxury of your well-reasoned opinion. She doesn't.

I can see the argument for a demonstrative fight with Trump and seeing Selfridge close and US/Canada tariffs go to bizonkers levels. It would help her with her 2028 Presidential run.

Yes, a blunder. The fact is that with the mad king the best outcome is benign neglect not active hostility.

She was trying to prevent Selfridge from closing! That would be an enormous hit to the state economy.

Whitmer is trying to prevent a man-made catastrophe in the state. She has a responsibility to represent her people. I agree she should show backbone and not be part of unconstitutional displays like the Executive Order but, the mad king aspect is part and parcel of the catastrophe she is trying to avoid. I wouldn't want her groveling just as I wouldn't want her playing footsie with the PRC over the battery plant. She was trying to serve her citizens. I think she has to navigate the news about this carefully so she isn't identified as some sort of Dem ally of the mad king.

I don't know why but losing to the Yankees feels like a tragedy beyond a normal loss and it leads one to feelings of dread and despair. Like why did you include parachute mines that looked like toys in the bombing run on the military facility that was next to the orphanage you warcriming swine?!

If they can send Torkelson down, they can send him down. Jung might be ready to come up.
