  1. And from the looks of it, 90% of those dirty protesters, are probably on some sort of public assistance... you know... socialism I think they call it?
  2. Because he’s not a snowflake
  3. We need more George Wills. jeans are a tough thing to pull off at a certain age if your goal is to “look good”. Especially if you tuck your shirt in. Think george costanza
  4. I remember reading Bill James a long time ago write about studying the career of Stan Musial and trying to figure out one stretch of really bad home games. Couldn’t determine why. Later he had the chance to ask him about it and Stan said “that’s when one of my kids was just born and he wouldn’t sleep. I was so tired when we were home. Got no rest”.
  5. And the people doing it either didn’t vote or there’s a 99% chance they are part of the Trump cult. That’s part of his legacy.
  6. Tigers announce all coaches will be back for 2022 with the possible exception of Kimera Bartee, who was a late season fill in at 1B after Chip Hale left to coach Arizona. He will be part of the interviewed candidates, which is what he was told at the time. That's a good sign.
  7. The racists are out in LIvingston County protesting the President..... while the rest of the people are working.
  8. I run on a trail, paved, but a trail nontheless and I get annoyed when people on their bikes do not announce themselves until the very end. One guy that we see just rings his bell. We don't take up the whole pathway. Just announce "on your left", like Falcon did in Endgame. And do it when before you are on our heels.
  9. I hope it works out better than when the Lions raided the Patriots
  10. Generally when I watch a playoff game I root for the visiting team. I like to see the home fans suffer a loss. Since my team can’t be in it then I want them to feel anguish.
  11. Coppola was like that on the Godfather II when he had clout. in part 1 when they go to vegas there is an establishing shot outside a casino. You see a couple of hippie dudes walking by the door. The second unit filmed that and they did it intentionally to mess with Coppola, who they did not like.
  12. That happens here in Dearborn where people are buying single story houses, knocking them down, save one wall to avoid it being called "New Construction", then they build a 5K sq foot mansion with circular driveway, no back yard, no greenspace, blocking the views of neighbors, often with no respect give to building codes, guy just shows up with a backhoe and starts digging, no Miss Digg, etc..... then they bitch because the taxes went from $3000 a year to $12K a year.
  13. It was better than The Irishman..... No, it's not as good as those other movies. Those are among the greatest ever, you just listed 3 Best Picture winners and another that should have won. This wasn't supposed to be an epic. It's a story he wanted to tell about a reference from The Sopranos.
  14. agreed.... like you said, there's a reason he's still a rookie.
  15. They pay property taxes on the house in Virginia. That house was over $1M. Not sure if that answers your questions. I pay about $5K a year.
  16. The article said they avoided about 45K in taxes since 2015 on a house assessed at 250K. I don't know if that's the taxable value or the home's value. I read the article last night and going off memory.
  17. Hasse can provide value in a utility role. Backup C, spot outfielder, PH... I think passable ability to play multiple positions can help a good team.
  18. I was struck by the high property tax on their IL home.... I thought I had high taxes where I live but I pay about half that and my house is worth more.
  19. I watched it last night. I enjoyed it and will watch again. From reading some things on fans in various forums i think expectations were off. It's a story about Dickie Moltosanti. The emphasis on Tony in the first trailer may have misled. It's 2 hours and there's only so much you can do. It had it's fan service with easter eggs, etc. but they were not critical. The only criticism I'd have is it seemed to have put a Sil and some others older than I realized from the original show. It's a different flow than the series because the series consisted of 6 or 7 (depending on whether you believe HBO or David Chase) seasons so you could slow the narrative down. This was 2 episodes basically.
  20. I’m ok with the Brewers, Astros, Giants…. Even TB.
  21. We had potential for some tiebreaker games but the Yanks and Sox both won late in their games. A traditional set of games for the wild cards. Boston hosting New York and Cards at Dodgers. I got NY and the Dodgers.
  22. How many Canadian players who got the vaccine can’t play hockey because of the “side effects”?
