  1. My Tigers take 2 of 3 from Cleveland on the road and are actually entertaining to watch. 2 games under .500, and 2 games from the divisional lead in a lousy division. I hope they wait until at least July 1st to see how things play out before trading their best pitcher. I'm also becoming a big fan of 2hour and 15-minute games.
  2. Another domino falls, as Delaware becomes the 22nd State to join the legal club. Let's hear it for 'Liberty & Independence'.
  3. Enjoyed his detailed description of the events surrounding the car crash, the D & C references in Achilles, and the review of albums from the time. I find it slightly mind-blowing to hear someone say their first experience with Zep was through "Early Days/Latter Days". You went down the Zep rabbit hole as a teenager the first time while staring at astronauts? Sorry...just showing my age. His thoughts on putting Achilles & NFBM back-to-back were interesting. Jimmy could have made a fade out/fade in between the two that might work quite well and be a great start to the album, but I'm not sure the material on side 2 would be strong enough to stand on its' own. The drumming during "The Presence Theme" was just sad. There's so much filler it took 20 minutes to get to the era and album itself. Is he trying to infer that the robbery in New York was mob orchestrated? I always enjoy listening to the first album & Presence back-to-back. To me it's like Zep purity from two different eras.
  4. I think the Hotel/Motel industry has been the worst. They can hire, they just don't want to pay the wage and hurt their new profit margin. Throw your dirty towels in the hall, empty your own trash, pools and athletic centers closed, half their services available, and they're charging 2 to 3 times the rate. It's enough to make a single guy buy an SUV so they can sleep in their car in National forests and BLM land *cough*. Seeing lots of people sleeping illegally in rest areas out East. Always amazed me when you head out West to places like Nevada & Wyoming where you see posted signs at rest areas stating, "Please limit your stay to 14 days." Wouldn't want to upset the coyotes and desert rats.
  5. David & Mick should compare DNA tests...seriously.
  6. Tigers are on a bit of an unexpected roll. Lol....sure was some lousy balls and strikes called last night, mostly against the Cardinals. Looked like the fans behind the plate were about to storm the field in protest, but the Cards Manager did the honors for them. I never tire of watching these old clips. https://www.detroitnews.com/videos/news/local/michigan-history/2023/05/06/1928-newsreel-tigers-take-series-yankees-first-time-5-years/11798703002/
  7. I'm hangin'. Watched both games in & out. You couldn't pay me to sit out there. Couldn't have been more than 500 people for the first game. We can't field or hit. Spencer Torkelson is doing a great Rob Deere imitation. Maton hitting .170. Baez is our best player and I think he's an idiot. Not much hope in the farm system either. Watching Scherzer and Verlander remind me of happier days.
  8. A happy 420 to all those adults given the freedom to choose. Those who still wait for that freedom, keep the faith, and remember you vote both at the booth and with your wallet.
  9. 80 degrees for 4 days in a row. I'm not complaining. FORE!
  10. It may be April, but the Tigers season is already over, if it ever really started. If anyone thought Hinch deserved further punishment for the Houston cheating debacle, he's getting it right now. See you next year!
  11. Don't hold me to that one. I only heard half the conversation on the local sports channel. NFL 'Sunday Ticket' headed to YouTube for 2023 season (espn.com)
  12. Now I'm hearing Sunday night games will be exclusively on You-tube? Premium that is. Not crossing that line for any sport. I'd rather go to the local High School to get my football fix.
  13. I can handle an Easter weekend without "King of Kings", "10 Commandments", "Ben-Hur", or "The Greatest Story Ever Told", but an Easter weekend without "Barabbas" is totally unacceptable!
  14. My apologies to both ladies for forgetting you. Your posts & contributions are much appreciated.
  15. No idea, but things like that make me a poor choice for any Gym membership. Much safer to just follow behind at the grocery store, strategically using my cart to hide my appreciation.
  16. Is there even one single female contributor to this forum? It's getting kind of odd.
  17. Between Aron Rodgers, the Green Bay Packers, and the NY Jets, I've come to the conclusion I hate them all. The first two are easy, and the Jets are just plain stupid for even entertaining the thought. Mortgage your future on a 40-year-old has been that will be lucky to make the top 10 of AFC quarterbacks. I'll admit it, they got me on this one. I even alerted a friend before finishing the article. https://detroitsportsnation.com/breaking-detroit-lions-sign-qb-cam-newton/wgbrady/nfl-lions/detroit-lions-news/04/01/2023/400169/
