Wow, I hadn't heard about Jerry Williams in a long time. That was back when Talk Radio was fun and I used to listen to it a lot. His voice was annoying and he always sounded pissed off (which I now understand was the point of the show) but he did some good interviews.

I was listening in Massachusetts

I have given up on the cult waking up. It's going to be all about turn out like it was in 2020.

Also, the Athletics are playing well (29-23 since June).

If they ever want to sign a top free agent under 30, they would have to commit at least that long. I don't know what kind of payroll they are planning long term.

yeah, at this point in the season, probability don't mean ****. Just enjoy.

It's understood that he's the boss, but they can't come out and say it.

As long as you talk loud and fast and give some good sound bites, you're good with MAGA and with the media. Substance doesn't matter.

It feels weird when I teach students born this century and they seem like kids even though they are in graduate school. Their parents are most likely younger than me.

Of course, if you are wealthy like Vance, you can live your life anyway you please. The rest of the population has bills to pay.

That's the thing with Clark. We are either going to love him or hate him. He is either going to be a star or a bust. There aint going to be any in between.

Bowden is terrible, but those two are pretty much universally regarded as bluechip prospects. Jobe appears to be kind of brittle, but everyone seems to agree that he has elite stuff when healthy. Clark appears to have superstar charisma and confidence like a George Brett. If he's for real, he'll be a lot of fun to follow .

They probably would have gotten him if they offered one year more than everybody else. I'm not saying that would have been a good idea. A lot of smart fans were saying the Tigers should not have offered him more than two years becauise they thought his carer was on the downside after his poor second half in 2023. They were wrong, but 7 years would be a bad risk.

Anybody here fall for this Pump and Dump scam? https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/04/trump-media-djt-negative-ytd.html

I have a friend who had an American flag and cross as his facebook profile for a long time. He's a really nice guy in person. His facebook is a conspiracy theory mess.

He didn't get the contract he apparently wanted, so maybe there was a way to get him. If they had Flaherty and Chapman all season, there very well may have been another good reason for him to be in Detroit. Edit: I remembered incorrectly. "He actually did get a good contract: 6 years 150 million". So, the Tigers probably would have had to go 7 years to get him which would have been way too long.

I doubt they sign a reliever to a long-term deal. I agree on the other two.

I am not sure that is a thing anymore. With universal DH and all teams playing each other now, there isn't much difference between leagues.

Building for a playpoff team is the same thing as building for a championshio team. A good organization can build and try to win at the same time. They can't just look to the future forever.

That's OK, but I pefer they get into the playoffs next year. Time to go for it.

I still think egg prices are a bargain! I can get a dozen eggs for $3.00 and that's 4 good meals for me.

We are always told that companies have nothing to do with inflation, but of course they do. Once prices start inflating and consumers willingly pay the prices, they are naturally going to jack some of them up more to see how far consumers will go.

If nothing else, he has the manager stache.

Everybody likes Tom Brookens.
