  1. I would've thought it had been a lot higher than that.
  2. I believe that the terms broken record and beating a dead horse fit here. You see things the way you want and that make you feel justified in your beliefs. Time to move on because everything is just being repeated. Good day.
  3. You haven't showed evidence of anything other than your opinion. I get it that you hate Trump. I could really care less and it doesn't matter. There's a new guy (ok he's actually been in office for decades but has nothing to show for it) in town that says he's going to fix everything. I only see things getting worse but we have a group of people that's happy about that and they are not being offended by mean Twitter comments.
  4. Michigan is off kilter with the rest of the country. When the country is in a spike, Michigan is doing good. Now it's the opposite.
  5. That was a huge break but I don't know how that could be ruled anything else other than a double. It was obviously nothing intentional on the players part.
  6. You are looking for anything you can find to point fingers at Trump. I asked a simple question....what could he or his administration do to stop the virus spread or deaths from the virus? The Trump administration fast tracked the vaccine. Now you want to blame him for not having enough? There were several vaccines and the US had allocations for enough doses. The vaccine was not available for about 10 to 11 months after everything blew up. If Democrats or anyone else besides Trump were in office and closed down the country what would have happen to the economy and unemployment? Look what happened to Michigan when Whitmer closed down the state. Unemployment soared. Good Night!
  7. Its unbelievable to me that people hate a person so much they refuse to see what really happened. You can't compare covid to anything in Bush or Obama's terms. Covid is comparable to Spanish flu pandemic in the early 1900s. What was Trump or anyone supposed to do with covid that would have fixed it? You want to place the blame then let us know what was supposed to happen to prevent covid deaths and infection of virus?
  8. Trump might not add voters as much as Biden (or Harris) will lose them.
  9. I think any of the top SS are going to want long term deals. That's why I would prefer a guy like Simmons for a year or two before signing Story or Semien to long term deals. It isn't a given that Kreidler is going to be a MLB player but he's shown enough promise that I would like to see more before signing anyone not named Correa to a long term deal.
  10. The current administration is making Trump look like the lesser of the two evils more and more.
  11. Whoever was in office would have lost that many jobs or more because of covid. A democrat POTUS probably would have lost more because they were more in favor of shutting things down and giving people more benefits for sitting home and not working. You have to look at what the economy and job situation was like under Trump before covid. The economy was booming, stock markets soaring and unemployment at all time low. Then covid happened. I get that a lot of people don't like Trump but still need to look at things realistically. I know he's a dipschmidt (my spelling is off) but under his presidency some good things did happen that a lot of people liked and our country benefited from.
  12. With all of the polling these people do how come they can't figure out that Trump has lost a lot of Republican voters. We've figured it out from our living rooms.
  13. Wow, we actually agree on something politically. Haley was one of few people I thought able to pull it off too.
  14. I don't find the face in the cracker a big deal on its own. The issue is what would have been the response if things were reversed? They would have been people expelled or fired. If there is going to be a standard for one then it need to be a standard for all. No excuses.
  15. I read that the school shooter was released on a $75,000 bond. That sends a heck of a message. Shoot the school up on Wednesday and be home on Thursday. He does have to wear an ankle monitor to make it better.
  16. I really hope that the Republican leadership comes to their senses and convinces Trump to back someone instead of running himself. I don't think the Republicans can count on running against Biden or Harris. Biden may or may not finish his term but its clear he is suffering at least mild to moderate dementia now. Harris is a terrible candidate who I doubt will get the nomination if Biden doesn't run. Republicans need to have a candidate that will unify the party and energize the 2024 ticket and I don't think Trump is the guy, especially the unify part.
  17. We would be at a big disadvantage in a war with China. Milley will call his friends and tell them all our plans.
  18. Simmons struggled at the plate this year although he never has been a great hitter. If they can't get Correa maybe they get a guy like Simmons that's big improvement over what they have but not an All Star.
  19. Since he hardly played the last month in Toledo it was clear he had no future with the organization. Hinch must of seen something or something happened they didn't like that they dropped Jones quick and didn't even think he would be worth trying to improve.
  20. I think one game is meaningless. Anything can happen in one game. If the playoffs and World Series is about crowning the best team then it needs to be best 2/3. I would rather do away with the WC teams and keep it at division winners and then it would be a non-issue
  21. Yes what he said. There are enough special uniforms and hats they wear during the year so do they really need another? I vote no and could get rid of the special ones too except for Jackie Robinson day when they are all 42.
  22. I have no idea what the Tigers range is but the article I read about Houston said they thought JVs QO would be around 20 million for a year. They didn't think he would go for it because he wants a long term deal. How long term of a deal is a 39 year old pitcher coming off TJ going to get? Maybe he will recover as good or better, be like Nolan Ryan and pitch until he's 45 or 46 and still be effective.
  23. Based on some of the decisions they have made the last five years, their hiring requirements could be quite low. Most anyone who posts here would be an improvement.
  24. The one thing I hate about the wild card games is that its a one game playoff. A one game playoff is for teams that are tied in the standings and they need the playoff to determine who gets in. Wild card series should be best 2 of 3, Divisional series 3/5 and the rest 4/7. They could even schedule the first day as a double header to shorten it up. Anything could happen in one game and its not a good representation of the playoffs. If they need more time and don't want to play so late into the year they should adjust season schedule.
  25. I don't see the Tigers spending that much on one player but ya never know.
