    Trade Deadline

    Good article. Kinsler was already reticent to make a position switch before and we saw how dangerous it can be to depend on a rookie from day one. I suppose it would be good in that the backup is ready to play if he fails. V Mart will be interesting. 2 years 12M per? Would another team do 3? If...

    Report: Lions and Suh NOT close to a deal

    It can't be ignored that Suh is the last of a very flawed drafting / compensation system. His salary is an anachronism and it will be his ticket away from a franchise that is historically one of the worst in NFL history. It is impossible for him to lose. Lions are my team but I don't ever blame...

    Trade Deadline

    I like the idea. I wanted them to go after Cespedes harder than they did. The island has some very talented players. The few that get out are likely to be good. I see no reason to trade Iglesias. Suarez or Iglesias takes Romine's role next season. Not worried about splits given the overall...

    Cheap Sunglasses

    I had problems with the hearing aspect. I rely on my hearing especially when crossing trails. That is scarier than trees to me. At least trees stay in one place. Setting an example is a good thing. I won't cycle without my helmet. Maybe I'll try again but I stay out of the trees these days...

    Thoughts on Israel

    The most amazing part of all of this is that people still watch the news. With the sound on even! Red or Blue - you're being sold a lie. Jewish or Islamic you are being sold a lie. American or Russian - well you get the point. Few are those who give a fuck about you more than they can drain...

    Bam. Open and shut case. Well done.

    Cheap Sunglasses

    Last time I took a real fall on the mountain (hill in Michigan) was out at Copper. I was wearing goggles. That was 20 years ago. Now the falls I take are because I lose focus at the bottom of the hill looking at the ladies in stretch pants. I still don't wear a helmet because I don't like losing...

    Tigers Top 20 Prospects

    I think they are just high when I look at his numbers. Lots of walks, few strikeouts and gives up hits to lefty and righty - righty even more. MLB draft is still the most unpredictable talent selection process in professional sports.

    Game 102 Tigers vs. angles July 27, 2014

    I agree that offensive numbers and entrenchment factor in more than they should. It doesn't change the fact that the metrics we both like were the ones that illustrated clearly Ajax was a top three defensive CFer in the AL in 2011 and 2012. You hit a nerve because you insinuated the people who...

    Game 102 Tigers vs. angles July 27, 2014

    It's not me. It is how the gold glove is voted. The rules are clear. Games played at the position, which is why I was pedantic about the number of innings and using qualified numbers. Ajax was a nominee in 2012 and a justifiable one. You've been debating something you clearly didn't understand...

    Never thought about falling. I suppose anything is possible. Unless it is sheer vert. I don't think about falling. But I don't go near moguls of any kind. most jumping I'll do are off of natural depressions, no kickers. Haven't even been doing that the last season, I need my collarbones.

    Cheap Sunglasses

    I like getting some air in the side of my wraparounds. Plus they don't steam when I bury my face in my balaclava on the chair lift. I do wear goggles though if temp is less than 20 for sure. But then again...I snowboard...

    Bachmann is...

    Right on. I'll agree with you. I find it hard to believe she doesn't think the Old Testament is the oldest writing. Kudos to her if she recognizes what many think is the source text for what ultimately became her faith.

    Praise be! Congratulations As far as ZZ top - those guys were and are awesome. Make your money. Same thing with Kiss. I remember being 7 years old thinking "These clowns can't do this forever." I was wrong...

    For the language but for the formation of the people of the Uruk region. Sumerians are cool. Gilgamesh is a good read.
