I think it's relevant. Unless you have served in the military, then you probably have no more "right" to be here than any immigrant. Good for you serving the country.

I think it's OK to deport undocumented immigrants as well as long it's done humanely. Nobody should be treated like an animal just because they lost the birth lottery. I also think it's counterproductive to deport immigrants if they are productive, civilized human beings contributing to society. I am not talking about anyone in particular here, just generalizing.

Have you ever been in the military?

I would support sending proven violent criminals to prisons that are not torture prisons.

I don't know what it will look like in a few weeks, but I wouldn't be comfortable with the Tigers pitching staff if the playoffs started right nw.

I have seen individual artices from those years, but not the entire publication. They do go more in depth, although what I was looking for as a kid in the 70s was probably different from what I would want if I were doing research now.

I love what they are doing. I still don't know how good they will be at retaining players. There is still a danger they will be the next Tampa Bay which some might like, but I want better.

Steib was clearly better than Morris. Comparing Key and Morris is apples and oranges. Key had better rates, but Morris was a workhorse who pitched a lot more innings and complete games. I doubt Key would have had the same rates as he did pitching as many innings as Morris.

I am too young to remember pre-70s TSN, but it was still great in the 70s. They did start covering every sport at some point in the 70s, but they still covered every MLB team every week and still had all the box scores and stats every week which was a big deal at the time. It really started to go downhill in the 80s.

I remember when TSN started to suck a few decades ago and I decided to stop my long-time subsciption. They kept sending mail to me and offering discounts begging me to come back. I finally wrote to them telling them to stop sending mail. I said that I used to look forward to their publication each week and it was a big part of my life. I told them that they needed to go back to the way they used to be and stop trying to imitate the USA Today. To their credit, the mails stopped after that.

Same here. I will mostly come out a little bit ahead, but not enough where it's going to make my life any better. I don't need a break. Give the same break to someone else who can use it.

Correct! He inherited a strong economy.

Unemployment was close to 9% in 2011 (not his fault of course). It went down rapidly throughtout his presidency, but it didn't get down under 6% until 2015.

Other than the Covid period, we have had strong employment throughout the Biden and both Trump presidencies which probably doesn't say much about either of them.

Fanduel knows.

In 1984, they had Whitaker, Parrish and Lemon.

At my age, they call it eccentric. You're not there yet.

Assuming the Royals are sellers, I'd love to see the Tigers get Lugo. I don't care if he's in the same division.

Some of the congresspeople are incredibly stupid, so you are probably right.

Flaherty is developing into a big problem.

I know he doesn't. He just wants a "win" and for everybody to give him credit if it passes.

I personally have no loyalty to either party. I have been voting Democrat only because there is no other choice. In the past, there have been local elections where I voted Republican and I'd like to be able to get back to that some day, but right now there is no other choice but to vote against Republicans. If they keep winning, we'll lose the country as I know it.

Some independents are engaged, some are not and there is a whole spectrum in between. Whether or not you want to call them independents or undecideds, these people can decide an election and you need to get their votes.

Of course, there are independents. Most people don't spend their lives following every obscure election and every political move that is made. I appreciate the detail in which people on this board follow politics, but a very large percentage of Americans do not follow politics at all. They vote for personalities, sound bites or just go off of how they feel about their lives in the current cycle. These people can decide an election.

After Biden's performance in the debate, I think there was no way he was going to win. That was a stunningly bad performance. I know Trump's debates are always a joke, but it doesn't matter with him. America loves a loud mouth bumbling idiot.
