Re: The (REALLY) biggest game of the season Game Thread 10/10/25

Gentlemen, we all need to root for the Cubs. That's the only team we could meet in the World Series and have home field advantage. But it would be fun to play the Dodgers, too, just to prove the last 3 regular season games were a fluke. (see how I automatically conceded an ALCS for the M's?) Hey DM...

Re: A question to those who voted for Trump

Is there really ANY country that isn't like that? No matter where you live, somebody's ruling you. I'd imagine that even North Sentinel Island has a centralized government. Maybe Vogie should go ashore and ask the good folks there if their prime minister is an oppressive chap. There really isn't an...

Re: Biggest fear this postseason

interesting, nobhead doesn't seem as familiar to me, wanker is the accustomed brit term here in PI bars, they are rather similar in their imagery. Is American slang as endearing to brits as brit slang to Yanks? According to AI, "- Wanker: Once a staple of British insult culture, “wanker” is still w...

Re: Biggest fear this postseason

My biggest fear is that one of our starters has a bad inning or two. That Gilbert gives up 5 straight hits to begin the game, or Kirby gives up a 3 run HR and then a sol shot in the 4th. And then our offense doesn't step up to score enough runs.

Re: "They" are attacking us!

I don't consider an LDS church to be anywhere in particular on the political spectrum. But I think Seattle or Bust is implying that smearing a whole group of people for violence and tragedies is not what people would be doing. However, it fits some people's political agendas to say "look at all thes...

Re: Charlie Kirk has died Rest in Peace

Switching gears a bit here but still on topic with the OP. Something that has been driving me insane is how after Trump was nearly killed by a rooftop shooter just over a year ago is there not one person on the security detail (either Kirk's or the campus police) charged with scanning all the roof ...

Re: Scoreboard Watch.

To Play: Tigers: 3 @ CLE, 3 @ BOS Indians: 3 v DET, 3 v TEX Astros 3 @ ATH, 3 @ LAA Next up.... Tigers 85-71 vs Guardians 84-72 Did it slightly slip under the radar they face each other starting Tuesday? A 2-1 series win for Cleveland might be the best result for us but it doesnt matter at this sta...

Re: Really Really Really Must win GT

3-0 against the worst team in the league then rest some guys. I would. How much rest is too much though. The will have 5 days rest after the season. That should be plenty. Obviously you are optimistic about getting the 2nd seed. I'm not taking anything for granted, but it's looking good for staying...

Re: Charlie Kirk has died Rest in Peace

At what point did Kimmel blame MAGA or Trump? Can you link to a source? And at what point did he lie? The video is all over the internet - have you not watched? If you haven't, why are you commenting on it? “The MAGA gang (is) desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as...
