Never gets old. I don't remember why he said that. I am really hoping he loses the nomination bid and runs as an independent. The all his supporters get to see a Democrat land slide because their hero only cares about himself.

That makes sense. They had almost the exact same number of at bats for Detroit, but Suarez wasn't good yet. One could argue that he wouldn't have developed as well had he stayed with Tigers.

Definitely one of my top moments as a Tigers fan. Maybe because I was younger then, but this is even more memorable than the Ordonez homer for me.

I think they both count. The return doesn't really matter as far as ability to develop players.

There's one point for Law.

Social media engagement is fun. Sometimes they alert me to things that I haven't been watching, but I don't expect them to be accurate all the time. They are really no different than us here.

I'll add Alex Avila. There are a few others, but you are right it's been going on for a long time.

I hope Todd Jones' commentary is better than the peanut butter knife stories he wrote for the Detroit News.

That's right. I remember the motocross now too. He always seemed like a player who did what he wanted and didn't give a shit what anyone though about it.

DeSantis is just the boring version of Trump.

It won't work, Trump will just make goofy faces and then insult his competitor. That will be good enough for the diehards. Trump has never said anything of substance in over 40 years. He is not going to start now.

Another thing about Yount is he had a reputation of not being in love with the game. Early in his career, he had a contract dispute and threarened to quit the game and become a pro golfer. I know I always always thought of him as a rebel after that, although not really in a bad way. If there was a perception that he didn't like the game or if he really didn't like it that much, that could have affected his number of all-star appearances.

I usually found out about trades listening to the radio. They would have a re-cap of the trades each night during the winter meetings. If it was a smaller signing, I wouldn't find out out until a day or two later in the transactiolns section of the newspaper. When they signed Phillips, I was at a grad school dorm with no TV and poor radio reception. I found out about it in a phone call with my father.

That is a somewhat better viewpoint.

The few MAGAs I know think Trump is a Christian and a patriot who is honest and tells it like it is.

So, she can a be a puppy for four years and then get thrown under the bus at the end?

I don't have confidence they will be good ones, but Biden is too old and Trump is insane.

I hope you're right.

That kind of thing was probably his intention in 2016.

I think there is good chance Trump would run as a third party candidate. I am pretty sure he doesn't give a crap about the Republican party and is only using it to his personal advantage. He would have no problem messing them up. At this point though, I am still thinking he'll get the nomination.

I still haven't gotten over Mark Wagner.

That's a dominate theme.

Calculated risk.

I haven't bought a TV in about 20 years. I just keep grabbing old ones that family members want to get rid off after they buy fancy ones. They don't have TVs you can just put on a table and plug in now?

I don't think police intend to to hunt and kill Blacks, but there is racial profiling. I believe Blacks are more more likely to be pulled over for minor traffic violations and are dealt with more aggressively due to profiling. As Gehringer suggested the other day, I do agree that we should trying to do more to rectify things like poverty and poor education rather than policing poor areas into submission.
