Yes 2026. What if he’s not top 5 Cy Young?

I want to know what they consider suspicious so that I can do it.

You end up going out to the lake just because you pay for it and feel obligated. I liked it when my aunt and uncle had a place because we showed up Friday night or Saturday morning and had a blast untik Sunday evening. What we didn’t see was them out there Thursday cutting the grass bad pulling weeds and cleaning everything. Or the property tax check they wrote. They sold it to fund their retirement. Last year we booked a place in the woods for a weekend. That was fine.

FYI I edited out the specific description. If anybody wants to know they can click the link. We don’t need that posted here.

Especially in Michigan. I don’t begrudge anyone their hobbies but how many weekends do you really get to enjoy it? I know a lot of people who got one for a few years then got tired of it. Especially if you are at a certain point in your life where weekends get tied up with kids events or weddings or whatever. But I know others that make it their primary hobby. It’s their “going up north”. We choose sporting events and concerts for our hobbies. I guess that’s no different.

The variable I don’t see mentioned very often is - what if Skubal just starts to decline in a performance sense? Not drop off but just simply not cy young caliber? Then you dodge another line of bullet.

It’s business. None of these people are stupid. They know every angle and risk and opportunity. Nothing said on the internet isn’t anything they’ve discussed as options. If the team offered him a “fair market” contract that was enourmous would he take it? Probably. He could get hurt next year. I’m not offering up what that is, that’s not the point. would the tigers offer up a fair market contract that was enormous? Probably not. He might get hurt next year. don’t pay until you have to don’t sign a deal until you are truly a free agent. those two things are the clash. And both sides are being smart relative to their interests.

I am not a water person. I’ve been to Superior three times. Last time was in early August of 2011. We were vacationing in Mackinac with our young family and my in laws and nephew. Some of us drove to the shipwreck museum in whitefish point. They have the bell. It was cold. And if you ever go make sure you get a full tank in town near the bridge.

It’s interesting to see that of all the possible fraud examples to choose from that it’s the Africans that get called out on.

Trump is a pushover and simply wants to be around winners and the “cool kids” whoever they are. Once your usefulness to him is gone he’s done with you. A Midwest farmer, member of congress, wife…. All disposable.

I guess the one positive thing I can say about Trump is his ability to expose his supporters as idiots. They will die defending his statements but then he will quickly reverse course and throw them under the bus and leave them holding their nuts.

Imagine what the media and self appointed pundits would be saying had Kamala Harris said such a thing 2 years ago.

well an article put out by "Tigersfans UNITED" must be legit.

The Skubal clickbait trade "articles" are annoying.

The producers of Dallas, to get around any leaks, filmed every cast member shooting him to stave off any assumptions... even his TV parents. Larry Hagman claimed Queen Elizabeth asked him who did it.

I’m proud of my city. This jag off came to a council meeting and started dropping F bombs.

Ok Peggy

Is their name Peggy?

The Gemini spacecrafts were built by McDonnell. During that program one of the astronauts was at a party with “old man McDonnell”. When asked how things were going the astronaut pointed out a big bottleneck was getting mainframe access to run their software. McDonnell also owned the biggest bank in St Louis that had one. So he instructed his bank to give NASA priority for their mainframe. doing what they did with what they had was remarkable. Heck… it’s hard now.

Nov 19, 1969. Pete Conrad and Alan Bean land Apollo 12 on the moon, only a few hundred feet from Surveyor 3, a probe sent a few years earlier. This was a very critical step to prove that they could make precision landings and a tremendous achievement by the trajectory teams and the astronauts. They could trust their software and systems, and pilots. Apollo 11 over shot its targets so after proving they could land, the next step is proving they could land in specific spots, critical for the geological work. They did their first EVA the next day. listen to the excitement in their voices. This was my favorite crew because the 3 of them were best friends.

A solution in search of a problem.

Someone has pegging on their mind

When we were in Pittsburgh a few weeks ago we noticed no parking signs by the door of the place we rented. At 6:30 we found out why. This was an urban setting. You walk out the door at street level and the trucks are right there. No lawns. No driveways. Less than 10 feet away.

The fact you refer to reasons as “excuses” speaks volumes.

I'm not bitching about it. I'm saying let them vote. It's not my job to provide your solution.
