Most teams are doing that kind of thing these days. It is spun as strategy, but I think it's mostly just lack of good players capable of playing a full season. It is done out of necessity more than strategy. It has always been done to an extent, but teams are protecting their assets more these days rather than having players play 162 games.

So, the Tigers now have a Colten and a Kolten.

His body broke down, but he was still pretty good for five years, at least offensively. His OPS+ was 114 or better each year from 2004-2008.

I ran into a guy before my hike a couple of years ago. For some reason, he assumed I was a MAGA. He started talking about how Trump is the only one who can fix the country. My friend who thinks Trump is nuts, but doesn't hate him as much as I do, half went along with the guy becaue he's a social person. The guy looked at me hoping for an agreeable response. I said nothing. By the way, his pickup truck was parked illegally.

It's not 8 days yet. We are still at 9.

But would she want to hang with you? 😀

Immigrants are typically healthier and have a longer lifespans than Americans. There is also no evidence that they commit crimes at a higher rate. However, there is a settling in period and logistically there may be too many of them coming here too fast. There is a big immigrant housing problem in some states.

My feeling is there is pretty much no way there can be a respectable romantic relationship between a 60-year old and a 20 something even if it's legal. What age is OK? There probably isn't an age. The 2 x age +7 formula is a humorous way to decide, although it it makes less sense when you get older.

yup

Elon Musk taking illegal drugs is probably the least surprising story we'll hear this week. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/some-board-members-felt-pressured-to-take-drugs-with-elon-musk-wsj-reports-88cb0934

was it Jake?

Should of kept. Stupid Harris.

He wasn't in Detroit long and didn't put up great numbers, but he had intangibles which you can't measure. He was the heart and soul of the 2004 Tigers.

I think you missed a day. It's 10 days now.

I though it was half your age plus 7. Otherwise, a 20-year old could only date women 25 or older. At what point does the formula change?

I didn't even know there were still tariffs prior to this week and I don't paticularly care. Trump is still trash as he has been for 40+ years.

I still got the impression from this interview that Keith will be the primary second baseman. Hinch is always going to talk about positional versatility, but this quote here is about as certain as you'll hear from Hinch:

The fact that so many not only fall for his act, but look up to him as a hero is what bothers me the most about MAGA. I get why people dislike Democrats and distrust politics in general, but thinking that Dump is on their side or that he is going to fix anything is incredibly misguided. Wanting someone llke him on your side is even worse.

Fortunately, there are no MAGAs in my family. On the other hand, some of them probably won't vote at all because they think politics is stupid. They know he's an idiot and a pig, but they just don't think it matters to their lives. Those who do vote will vote against Trump.

Trump has no in depth knowledge on any issue at all. He is just a populist demagogue and is too much of a psychopath to let smart people works things out reasonably even when his bull **** happens to go in the right direction.
