  1. As long as he's a full-time DH.
  2. All doom and gloom aside, I think Whitmer would be one of the Top 2 or 3 choices as a VP.
  3. Oh, who are we kidding, there's not going to be any 2028 election. Or 2026. This ****'s coming to an end soon.
  4. I think he's aiming higher than that. And he should. He'd have a shot. Beshear, Mark Kelly. I was kind of hoping for Wes Moore, but he's out. I used to worry about Gavin Newsom because he's kind of the extreme choice, but actually I think we need that. Might actually inspire people. He's willing to mock them and throw the **** back in their faces and not play nice. We need more of that. I wish Bernie was younger. As much as I think Gretch would make a good President, this country won't vote for a woman for President. They just won't.
  5. What's the single most dramatic Home Run in baseball history? 1960 World Series Bill Mazeroski? 1993 World Series Joe Carter? 1951 Bobby Thompson Pennant Clincher? 1974 Henry Aaron besting The Babe? 1988 Kirk Gimpy Gibson's Game 1 winner? 1975 Carlton Fisk waving it fair in Game 6? 1977 Reggie's third in Game 6 of the Series? The most dramatic of those - in my opinion, was Mazeroski because it was Game 7. The most exciting was Fisk because of the shot of him waving it fair. The most important was Henry Aaron breaking that record under countless threats on his life. Bobby Thompson has the best announcer call (but the Giants wee stealing signs, right?) What about Tiger home runs? I think there is one that is miles above the others Game 5 1984 World Series, 8th inning. Not the game winner, by the way (many think it was), it just put the game out of reach. (And I do want to say thank you Vin Scully for keeping your mouth shut and letting the picture tell the story, that was classy and professional choice to not make it about himself). But there are some other moments for me............. Magglio sending the long-suffering Tigers to the World Series in 2006 is up there in 2nd (watching it now, welling up a bit, must be allergies) Others that come to mind Rob Fick's Grand Slam in the Tigers last at bat at Tiger Stadium. I was there. What a moment. The game didn't mean anything. The Hell it didn't. J.D. Martinez return from the Injured List off of Chris Sale. Because **** CHRIS SALE. Dmitri's 3 on Opening Day were fun.
  6. This is incredible. 3 or 4 years ago I had totally given up that this team would ever be able to do anything and I really didn't care if they moved to Cincinnati, Virginia Beach or Seattle or wherever. And this has been done without acquiring a superstar outside of Cade in the draft (and drafts are crapshoots). Just a bunch of perfect small moves with a coach that knows how to cook with the ingredients he's given. This is fun again After a decade of Sports Suckitude that may have even outdone the 70s, All four of our teams are legit title contenders right now. They've gotten through one of Duren's suspended games unscathed (Paul Reed, how are ya), If they can manage to go 5-2 or 6-1 without Beef Stew, wow, that's saying something. Langdon for Exec of The Year. JB for Coach Of The Year.
  7. I'm eating a Frosty right now. Sorry. Haven't had one in a long time. Poor planning. I almost ALWAYS bring my lunch to work and it's usually some sort of salad, but today I only left with a yogurt and a granola. I had no plan for lunch. I got fast food. I do this maybe once every six weeks. Just ate it at 3:20 (Fridays are insanely busy). By 4:00 I am going to feel like crap But the Frosty tastes good. I'll do better tomorrow. It'll be back to oranges, grapes and strawberries.
  8. Nick Castellanos has had a strange career. I don't think it's over now. I think he can redeem himself, but only as DH. That guy couldn't catch a cold. I don't know if he's the worst defensive player of all time, I doubt it. I am sure there are several guys that I've never heard of that were worse, but in the 21st Century - you could make an argument. Delmon Young was an adventure.
  9. He had a weird season. He'd be absolutely dealing and then a bad inning, but sometimes they left him in and he'd go right back to dealing.
  10. I think the same thing - keep the lefties apart a bit. Hopefully no bruised egos. I kind of want a rain out in one of the first two series because I'd LOVE to see JV pitch in the 5 slot and the home opener and the Skubal game 2 on the homestand. But that's just me being silly.
  11. Well, lets be fair, I think he woke up about 30 seconds before the picture. So, the guy that led our team in wins last year, a #1 overall draft pick, who was an All Star last year with an ERA under 4 -- is our FIFTH starter. Wow.
  12. The media hated Joe. Clicks were down No real scandals other than his son lying on a form (oooh, big one there) Sleepy Joe Boring Joe No-Clicks Joe Yep, they hated him. Clicks being up are more important than protecting our Democracy and Ecomonmy Obama was boring as **** too. I want boring. Boring is good. A boring President is like watching a major league game where you don't know the home plate ump's name because he has not given you a reason to even bring it up - he's just doing his job. And here it is. I think it's been done enough time in the last 40+ years that is a measurable trend Republicans **** up the economy Democrats fix it - but not fast enough So stupid people blame them The Democrats **** up the message Republicans do it all over again. Welcome to the 2026 version. Which may end up being the worst of them.
  13. G.O.P. = GATHERING OF PEDOS
  14. But JV and Framber are not standing together. They must have hated each other in Houston. This is a problem. Fractured locker room. Fist fights, dirty looks. Man, and I was so excited yesterday.
  15. It's beyond lazy. He's so insulting to anyone who ever cared about the game. He really is that bad. Just go away and shut up.
  16. I don't know. Playing in Fenway helped a lot. We'll never know. Such a horrifying injury. It had to have contributed to his early death.
  17. I meant he was on track to be the best of all time. Not just today.
  18. Yeah, his career might be in serious jeopardy.
  19. What's Rick Porcello doing ?
  20. Wait, they're signing Scherzer too? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
  21. Scherzer too? Are you kidding me? but it hit you in the nose and now you look like Frank Zappa
  22. Cusack wanted a Fishbone song. Um, no. I love Fishbone, but not for emotional impact.
  23. Could be interesting if Verlander started the Home Opener. I mean, right now that would be the 6th game, so it would likely be Skubal since nobody expects a rain out in San Diego or Phoenix.
  24. Roster move. For Valdez they'll put Jobe on the 60 day, right? Interesting that hasn't happened yet Who is gone now? I would think Trey Sweeney is a candidate. They also have 4 catchers on the roster, but they aren't dumping Liranzo. Don't know a lot about Valencia, but they'll need a third C at some point. I think Vierling has an edge over Jahmai Jones and I don't see them cutting Trei Cruz without giving him a look at the MLB level first. Sweeney is in trouble with so many potential infielders Jace, Lee, Keith, Max, Trei all in need of auditions. I guess some pitchers could be in trouble like Bailey Horn or even Gipson-Long. Or is someone else going to the 60-day?
  25. Eva Grubb - the fake Ginger Grant from Gilligan's Island (now that is a pull on my part)
