    Reminds me of when the Grosse Ile Free bridge was out. Only the pay bridge was operational. Someone on twitter says "We didn't ask for this" I said "Well you live on an island, you kinda did."

    Every morning on Fox 2 News, which I watch when I work from home, they do a quick round up from Doug Luzader, who seems like a nice enough guy. But always in that summary they get the legal take from Jonathon Turley. So here you have the gentle local morning show that keeps things light and fluffy, and that's good because that's what sells in the morning, then all their viewers here such absurd twisted takes. This is how the media fails our nation. Idiocy and extremism needs to be called out for what it is. Both sides of an issue are not equally valid. I bet most of Fox 2 viewers don't read twitter, don't follow things like we do. So they see Turley and think "Hmm..... interesting". ANd that frames their legal outlook on this case so that when they are in the barber shop or some other casual gathering they'll pipe up "Well I heard the FBI just propped that stuff up.... so who knows..."

    A friend is on the list for one. She’s a doc who lives modestly and decided to finally treat herself.

    When he first crossed the bag his right foot was on the line but a step or two later it’s off the line a few inches. There’s your movement towards 2nd.

    Yes. Everyone made a point to announce their departure. It was after dumpy got booted from twitter. Then Amazon wouldn’t host them. Apple wouldn’t put it on their App Store. I think the code was open sourced and someone hacked it and got a dump of it all. Don’t tell me what it was.

    That’s how I see it. It’s not a bang bang play or something you can’t totally control, like a skate in the crease. If you saw an overhead shot he would curve towards that side of the field. This happened to Baltimore at Comerica Park. Runner stepped towards that side then immediately ran back into foul territory, knowing what he did. Miggy saw it. Tagged him out. Showalter ejected.

    No lost power but have no xfinity internet. That went out today around 3:10.

    What is your take on this? I don’t know the rule and don’t feel like looking it up but I’m pretty sure it’s not a judgement call b/c I have seen guys called out for walking back after they simply turned to the left, after stopping, instead of right, to go back to the bag. His right foot ends up closer to that side of the field as he’s stopping. Sorry but that’s what you have to do in order to be able to run past the bag.

    I remember that now. But I also remember seeing some video evidence that he made the change in Detroit. again… he should have won the CY in 2016.

    I already forgot the name of the twitter alternative they all left for. Remember they were suing Amazon? Whatever happened to that. All the free market conservatives were trying to tell a company what to do.

    I read about a study that said the best thing to do after a trauma is to play a game like Tetris. The focus of the mind helps block the trauma from settling in. I think things like ping pong and even redundant video games help like you say. In college I had a sega genesis and would play NHL 94, Madden, and Sonic between study breaks. Well… between the time I should have been studying. Gives you time to reset and think.

    All the “patriots” I know who talk that way have type 2 diabetes.

    What bothered me about it was the lazy suggestion that Hinch and staff didn’t think to use video analysis on a hitter. That all it took was a few stick figure diagrams and look how stupid the Tigers are. sometimes the player just sucks.

    Verlander should have won the Cy Young in 2016 but some voters were hung up on 22 wins for Porcello. I don't remember him complaining about mechanics but I do remember him... questioning maybe the medical staff for his injuy a few years prior.

    I don't think there will be. We might see some half assed attempts at 'caravans' like they tried in DC or a dozen show up here or there but we have competent people in charge now who will be prepared.

    All this talk about riots and such… part of me says “bring it on”. Let all the ants and maggots get out with their stupid Glasden flags and cosplay. Start some shit in the streets where it won’t be a few dozen Capitol police officers. Draw them out and squash them out of existence. Then we cleanup and get back to a normal country.

    Yeah it must have been that fall or early winter. I was in 8th grade.

    Totally. In 1986 I walked into our Sunday School classroom and on the walls were posters they got from the neighborhood Harmony House of various rock stars and we got the lesson about how evil and satanic they were. Bon Jovi. Dokken. Ozzy. Steve Winwood-yes, Steve Freaking Winwood!. The Steve Winwood stands out for me because the photo was from his album cover at the time and he looked just like one of the youth leaders, I thought it was him. Be careful of those "Roll with it" lyrics. there's a hidden meaning there.

    Jared was a federal employee. As was his wife. Their personal relationship to the president is not germaine to the situation.

    So we can stop building things when we have empty things sitting around being empty? Corporate office space is so open now but yeah let’s build more of it.

    Is too much information being a available a bad thing? The instantaneous action and reaction makes us thing something is there that isn’t there. All these yahoos with their apps reading stuff. It’s like being in a fantasy league where you can trade players by the minute instead of weekly.

    Speaking of emails remember the one where Tucker was kissing Hunters ass and wanted to get together soon?
