  1. Sorry for the language. I tried to edit a bit. “Lil bit”. But the photo is real. They were in a band together.
  2. “Just enjoy life and get out more and don’t be so angry” = “just lay back and enjoy it”. What you’d expect from an Epstein sympathizer.
  3. It’s because these people have no self esteem or confidence. Their entire existence and aura is centered around Trump. To give that up is to admit their’s is worthless. They’d have nothing left. They went all in.
  4. Verlander was a unique situation. In 2017 he was about a month removed from being traded. We watched him grow up and at least for me I had a feeling we were seeing a guy close out his career. I typically don’t give two ****s who wins a WS so in a situation like that I will root for him. I saw it kind of like a Ray Bourque to Colorado thing where Boston took as much pride in that. Nobody will ever think of him as anything but a Bruin. Looking back on JV obviously he elevated his game and sustained his greatness. I didn’t see that happening at his age but he might be just as much an Astro as a Tiger Scherzer I don’t feel the same way. We didn’t draft him. He signed elsewhere and even then I knew his greatest years still in front of him so I saw his time here as a stepping stone.
  5. It’s been humbling for me because I, like am sure every generation felt, that we learned the lessons and were better.
  6. I got Cameron Crowes book for Christmas and enjoyed it very much. He was such a huge part of my cultural experience growing up and into adulthood.
  7. I thought it was the one across the street in the garrison plaza. which isn’t much better. Because I had the same thoughts. We run by there a lot. In the back by the dumpsters you can access a trail that goes along the rouge river leading to the Henry Ford estate. That’s the starting point. It looks like someone stores cars there. Not secure and it’s crumbling.
  8. That’s what we are watching. They noted the boos.
  9. I remember when the summer games were in London someone suggested all the nations once ruled by the UK should come out to "How you like me now?"
  10. "I wasn't a racist but then the dems nominated Kamala Harris and I didn't agree with the process and that as all it took"
  11. I threw on Pine Barrens while I'm working and although i've seen it over a dozen times, have done full series rewatches at least 6 times... it still blows me away what a great episode it is. In some ways it might be underrated because of the scenes in the woods.... take those out and it's still one of the best. So much happened. If you like the show..... watch it again. I bet you'll be surprised like I was.
  12. and there comes a point where the "I'm not racist" defense is no longer valid if they continue supporting this guy. I'm probably there already. if you like and support this guy then yeah, I'm calling you a racist.
  13. Tim will come around... or go around I should say. They always do. Unless he decides to resign, then they suddenly find Jesus.
  14. Nobody with a brain is surprised. Racists aren't surprised. Anybody that acts surprised is playing dumb. In a country run by normal people with morals and backbones, this would end their administration. But neither of those things describe JD Vance so he'll just laugh at it.
  15. He parlayed that year where he "hit .300, 30 HR's, and drove in 100" into a big deal. If he hit .299, 29 HR, and had 99 RBI, would Randy have given it out? Press likes nice round numbers. Learned that in The Right Stuff when Scott Crossfield hit Mach 2.
  16. And you know they follow up that reference with "but he's cool though...."
  17. For them losing that series was probably a similar feeling the Wings and their fans had in losing in 2009. You win the year before, had won a few years before that, want to confirm something of a Dynasty legacy. Then you lose game 7 at home. And there's a hook to it. In '68 it was Mickey's performance. In the 2009 Stanley Cup Finals it was Sidney Crosby getting his first Cup. Crosby is a national treasure in Canada, right below the likes of Gordie, Wayne, and Mario, but not below anybody else in Canadian hockey lore.
  18. Jesus Christ that’s awesome
  19. Typical reaction by cowards. They start a fight and cry like a bitch when you hit back. Just like the “tread on me” crowd.
  20. The key difference is what would have happened if he said he didn’t have it This isn’t complicated for those willing to pay attention
  21. Fox 2 has aired Tiger games before. And they run Wings games sometimes.
  22. I think it's fair to assume that having Boras as an agent and being a player rep that we do have some inisght. He's talked about the business side and having a responsibility. This arbitration hearing doesn't affect what he'll get as a free agent. The Tigers offer to him and to Valdez have nothing to do with each other, other than general budgetary reasons. But they aren't making a statement about what they value or think they are "worth".
  23. I don't think so. Skubal is not a free agent. Arbitration doesn't answer the question that Valdez's situation as a free agent asks.
  24. The story is that Boras insisted on taking this to arbitration. Why should they give an arb number $1 higher than they think they can win the case with? The can't force him to sign a contract.
  25. Thank you. Arbitration is a process. Skubal knows this. Boras knows this. Nobody is going to be "pissed" when the result is known. Skubal might be "bummed" for the lost money but he knows the game.
