I’ll throw in Steve Winwood as a comp for that kind of thing. His first #1 hit was 60 years ago. I know you and I have discussed him before. (Came up on a FB memory a few days ago).

I just figured the old guys needed a break and now I’m mad I passed up on seeing them at the Sphere. Got to see him 3 times though so there is that, including kind of an intimate setting at the Fillmore a few years ago.

Was it announced he was sick? I didn’t see anything. Must have been fast.

My problem with this is these voters seem to have short memories. We are 9 years into this and have been thru several dozen moments that should have been turning points for the average “swing” voter. A point I saw made recently; “Our country isn’t like this because we have Donald Trump as our president. We have Donald Trump as our president because our country is like this”. This isn’t directed at you but I am tired of “this is the moment it’s over”. It will never be over until he’s dead. There are no such moments.

I don’t know of a better way to share this here https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPuTWm7Eomv/?igsh=MXRjb213cXd6dHBlZw==

Damn. He had a hell of a life and I enjoyed watching his IG posts the last few years as he’d stay in shape on the road.

Why you happy? They’re basically your party today. just a different religion. But same back ass ideals. The leaders here deserve, and hopefully will get, the same fate.

With Miggy I always think back to a random game I was at with Oakland. He kept fouling the same pitch back. 4-5 times. It was like he was rejecting it rather than just missing. “I don’t want that one…”. Then he got the one he wanted and put it into the seats. I like to think the pitcher was just conceding. “I don’t want to pitch to him anymore”.

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?
