  1. The arg was the court made up the right. The feds can still pretty much legislate about whatever they want. Of course, I suppose Thomas and Alito wouldn’t mind tossing the ICC clause and just ended the Federal gov altogether. At least that would be one way of getting rid of them as well.
  2. If Cabrera stays healthy and finishes the season with a good BA but lousy OPS, he will come to Spring training ready to play. If the Tigs don’t think they are going to win anything that will be fine because he’ll be good marketing passing people on the all time lists. If they do think the DH bat could make or break a playoff run, they would have to decide to cut him and then pay him to play for someone else. Possible, but seems unlikely
  3. Nope. No scenario where Trump loses is the worst, no matter what the other factors.
  4. Michigan is paralyzed until they have new leadership installed. Blame the regents for a search that has taken waaay too long. First rule of personnel, don’t dump the guy you got till you got a guy/gal you can get.
  5. Least surprising surprise of the year.
  6. Agree with this. In short, you are either building or you are getting worse. But in the Tiger’s case what they really meant was only that the ‘tanking’ was over, which is a narrower meaning. 🙄
  7. Not that there is really any ‘there’ here, at least as far as we really know yet, but I have been struck by Avila’s talk about establishing a ‘Tiger’ way of doing everything. That’s great as long as it it is never applied to hitting advice. No two hitters hit the same way- I believe hitting my be the most personally customized activity in sport. So you certainly hope that the changes Paredes did or didn’t make were more on his own than because the Tigers were trying to fit him into a box that was wrong for him. I suspect it could be more Isaac here than the Tigers because I do have some recollection that pulling the ball more was something they had already encouraged him to do.
  8. Yeah, this is the thing. If they tried to do right by him when he needed a few days and then he just leaves them in the lurch, the Tiger’s have every right to feel their good offices have been taken advantage of.
  9. if they were sending him checks and they stop, then I bet they will hear from him.
  10. I have a hard time seeing this inflation having any legs.
  11. What is not overplayed is that the referent of the term “arms” is completely different and it’s some kind of idiotic stupidity to argue it isn’t. No founder would have any conception of what he given a right to if he walked into a 21st cent gun shop. There is no parallel here to conceptual rights like search. In the 2a a particular thing was an arm and those things have passed from the scene.
  12. I once heard Breyer say ( loosely paraphrasing) that when things made no sense constitutionally, that the court had two choices, leave the republic to the vagueries of the amendment process, or step up to the plate and do something reasonable for the benefit of the nation. We need a lot more of that approach and a lot less of idiots like Thomas and Alito who would drive us over a cliff on a fool’s errand trying to parse the 18th Century into the 21st. He’s going to be missed.
  13. Let’s be precise; Everywhere within the jurisdiction of the conservative misreading of the 2nd amendment of the US Constitution. Our condition is not some random accident, it is the direct result of deliberate American conservative movement objectives.
  14. Away from home and just following on the cartoon on and off, but Hill seemed to generate a lot of popUps. That generally means a live fastball, is that what he featured?
  15. 1st order Loonspuddery. This is what US political religiosity has descended to?
  16. The bloom is off Fetter’s brilliance, the Tigers have broken Skubal.
  17. The injuries are one thing, but nothing has come more unexpectedly disappointing than the complete suckitude of Grossman’s and Schoop’ bats. Schoop at least provides value at 2b, OF defense as good a Grossman’s is a dime a dozen. He’s a total millstone on the roster.
  18. Can you pick sticks to buy and hold for long term gains that will beat the general market? I think so, but probably not by enough to get too excited about. Can you beat the market as day-trading technical investor? I wouldn’t try it, but SB’s take would more interesting.
  19. He is closing on balls on the ground faster I think-prolly better confidence he’s not going to overrun something and no doubt an above avg arm for an OF. Is he doing any better not breaking the wrong way on flyballs- IDK, maybe. More surprising to me he is pulling his OPS up.
  20. Getting 2021 Baddoo back sure would be a nice boost
