Skubal having Boras as an agent tells me he means business and understands the Tigers mean business too. Skubal isn’t fragile. He knows what the Tigers are doing. It’s fine. These numbers and this process will have no impact on his future with the team. It relates to 2026 only. Peoole watch too many movies.

of course he is. That's what "church" people believe now. Protesters are terrorists. They love to shove their morality and holier than thou crap in their face but as we see here it's all bull****. Terrible witnesses for Christ. Magasexuals have no choice to but to jump off the cliff with their idiocy and demented logic.

because I believe that whatever is inside of him that made him the pitcher he is prevents him from being emotional and petty about such things. He's made a lot of money. He's going to make a lot of money in 2026 $19-32M, maybe more if he were to sign a bigger deal. He's going to make a boat load more. I'm guessing he's feeling good about life and knows this is a process that he has to go through and at no point so far has anything unexpected happened.

They're also not prepubuscent middle schoolers. But I was referring strictly to the numbers, not what would be said in a hearing. Skubal didn't see that number and think "WTF? **** THESE GUYS"

Is it standard law enforcement practice to be playing on your phone when you in a perceived danger that requires you to instinctively discharge your weapon into the face of a person driving away? I mean whenever I'm in fear for my life and safety the first thing I do is whip out my phone.

There are no hurt feelings and it will have zero impact on whether he signs here. It's a business. They all know and understand it. Boras is smart he probably already knew what their number would be.

I turned 11 during the break between the '84 ALCS and WS. I literally grew up with the '84 team. I remember going out to the airport to some parking lot to meet them after the '81 season when they had a chance to make the playoffs. Got a bunch of autographs. It seemed so easy to be a baseball fan. You watch them get better then they'll win. For '87 I had my first girlfriend and was kind of distracted so I didn't get into that team's run like I should have. It's a big regret. I was at game 5 but it was on a field trip with church (My school let us go since I went to a churchy school) It was a day game. So yeah.... piece of cake. I'm 52 and still waiting.

One of the few things my wife and I bicker about is I do this thing where as soon as you turn a light on inside, I close the curtains/drapes/blinds/etc. I have this hangup about people being able see inside my house, particularly from the front. The back I don't care so much about as we have a lot of coverage/privacy. She thinks I'm weird. Am i? At least in this context? It's especially bad now with the early nights. By 4:30 I'm shutting down. But I'm also the kind of person who doesn't really care if it's dark inside. We still have christmas stuff up and those lights throughout our rooms satisfies me. But if a lamp or overhead light is turned on.... close it up.

But remember, he is the way he is because he didn't agree with the way Kamala Harris got the nomination. That was the tipping point. Fascism because of a process disagreement. Makes total sense.

And to think some still think it’s kind of wrong to refer to conservatives as Nazis. Nope. It’s more accurate than it is ever was.

I don’t understand the freak out on the Tigers number. This isn’t a negotiation. It’s for a hearing. They pick one value. Why would the tigers pay more than they have to?

Remember the freak out when Mize went thru this?

My friend did the very same thing. I believe it was the 2022 playoffs. He was puzzled that they were not catching on. He bets $100 a day, usually over 2-3 bets.

I wish the general public were smart enough to recognize that a well funded local media would be great at keeping our politicians in check and spotting fraud and abuse. But too many expect if they are paying for it then it needs to be on “their side”.

Where all my states rights folks at?

He did exactly what he, Noem, Trump, and JD the Turd wanted. I still want to know where all the 2nd amendment wimps are. Are they still in the woods doing their circle jerk ritual and they've not heard the good news that the Tyranny is finally here and they can come out and play?

I call it the "For You tab on X" method.

Where's all the 2nd amendment folks? The Randy Weaver/New World Order types that were prominent in the 90's. Mark Scott is dead, I know, but he had a following. I'm starting to think all their talk and fear about the feds taking over was simply bull****.

For me it’s not about the money even. I would never, and have never, bet more than I would reasonably consider a fun night out. It’s never done to “make money “. But I hate losing more than I love winning so I guess that’s a plus. I quit doing NCAA brackets and squares because it stresses me out. If I do squares I let my wife handle it and I forget about it. The only thing I do now is a $100 buy in on a football league for college and pros. You get $10K in money and make your bets. Every two weeks you have to wager at least half your money. There’s 200 people in the league with mid season prizes. I only do it as a reason to watch football. I spend about 7 seconds making my bet. Last year I made my money back, finished 9th This year I was out when the Lions lost to Pittsburgh. I’m not bragging. It was luck.

Explain to me how if you think someone is going to run you over with a vehicle, that shooting them is the solution? How does that prevent it from not happening if there’s no chance to get out of the way or try something else? If you have time to shoot and there’s room for the car to not hit you if the person dies suddenly then there’s time for another option. Simply put, if it were true then it would have happened. It didn’t. Fatal force is not the solution when someone is “getting away”

First Degree Murder

To be a republican and to support their politicians is to be immoral. There's no turning back now. They are a depraved people and they cannot be defended. Hopefully one day these traitorous leaders in the GOP meet a proper fate

The parties decide their nominee. There's no moral or ethical or legal requirement for a certain process to be followed other than each party's rules. People just wanted an excuse to create some kind of "scandal" to give themselves cover to not support her.

ChatGPT says industry estimates said she made over $2M in 2022. She owns the rights. I've heard Billy Squier makes a lot of money b/c his songs were sampled in hip hop.

You voted for corruption so your concern here is pretty weak sauce
