Warren? really?
I would have put money on GR and Lansing being way bigger than Warren
No longer the Founder, President and CEO of the Ryan Raburn Fan Club
Having never lived in Michigan, I had no idea and would have put Lansing in the #2 spot
I associate Grand Rapids too much with Grand Rapids, Ohio (which is a small town with a canal lock as its biggest tourist attraction), and I’ve barely heard of Warren.

I think Warren is usually thought of as part of Detroit, as it's in the metro area.
There’s around 700,000 people living in Detroit and 4,000,000+ in Metro Detroit. It’s the same thing with Lansing and Grand Rapids. There are a lot more people in the area than there are within the city limits. GR has almost 200,000 within the city limits and about 800,000 in the metro area. Lansing has about 100,000 people in the city limits and about 500,000 in the metro area.

He’s a hard-thrower and actually most of his starts haven’t been that bad (although he’s had problems with high pitch counts). He’s limited lefties but has had trouble with giving up home runs to righties

MLB teams tell their players to use one hand
Especially with guys on base, it decreases the amount of time it takes to get the ball out of their glove.
I did not know that
Makes sense, though. The only time I routinely see a fielder catch with two hands is on the third out.

During the Angels series,
I caught myself day dreaming about what if the tigers had outfield defense like this. Obviously I like Ajaz but when Raburn and Ordonez are out there I cringe.
I was actually going to add a comment
about how, in other words, I almost always hate good defense, but I figured it was probably unnecessary. We all know what our D looks like.
I only hope Melky hurt himself on that play.
And no, I’m not ashamed of myself at all.

If by "buildup" you mean "tailgating" then yes
Otherwise I hate the wait, especially when nobody likes your coach. The last 3 years have been painful as a Michigan fan.
i love the game of college football
i love talking matchups, i love talking shit, i love everything about it. i feel like college football fans are just more batshit/passionate about their “team” (since people seem to forget they are institutions of higher learning) than any other sport. it also helps that when people attend a university, they are more attached to it than just being a fan of a pro team. they take it more personally. i think that’s what makes the “buildup” more exciting – that people put so much into it that you can’t WAIT to prove the other person wrong.

As a Wings fan
This season, I was actually doing it a lot to see if the Blackhawks would miss the playoffs. Last season, when the Wings were sucking it up, I’d watch for their benefit.
But to make your point, I never watch as early in the season as I do for baseball.

this is something ive wondered about baseball
as a soccer fan, i think the play every team twice approach to a season works and keeps stadiums full and fans wanting more. Baseball seems to have too many games and so loses the attention of its fans.
I think stadium size has something to do with the fullness
just glancing at the EPL stats and MLB stats for the most recent year, the EPL’s top 11 teams by attendance average more than 30,000 fans. The MLB’s top 13 average more than 30,000 fans.

Smaller EPL clubs also have smaller stadiums
I don’t even know if all of them can hold 30k people. All the MLB stadiums are at least 30k, right?
UK's smallest stadiums have at least 20k id say off the top of my head
hell you get championship teams(the division below) bringing in more than 30k a week at times
Don Kelly sub
Don Kelly in for Maggs? When Maggs still gets an AB? Does Leyland have more confidence in Kelly at 3rd in the lineup right now than Maggs? Don’t give me that defensive replacement bs; we need offense not defense right now.
JL feels we need more D, being up by a run with 2 innings left

I think the fine print on the back of the ticket
pretty much absolves the team of anything that can happen to you at a game

and a special circle of hell is reserved for those type of lawyers

fine print doesn't always mean anything though

only about 40% of lawyers do litigation
couldn’t say how many of them are tv lawyers, but really not that many

It only takes 1 lawyer
to sue everyone from the people that made the baseball to Hamilton for throwing into the stands.

a lawyer is an advocate
why does one lawyer advocating for his client mean “lawyers are going to have a field day with this”? do people really think the legal profession is about How To Sue? i’m not going to argue about it or anything but when people stereotype a profession based on a small number of cases they personally don’t agree with, i take offense. but this is OT, so i will leave it at that.

people don't like lawyers
they never have and never will. you had to have known that before you went into the profession

Even lawyers don't like lawyers
and lawyers have the best lawyer jokes. They’re the last group of people that I’d want to socialize with. I avoid all their functions. I even tore up the John Edwards campaign letters. Before he was a known scumbag.

Sorry
I did not mean to offend you. I’m a software engineer which has a stereotype of a geek. I knew that going in.

Well just don't be a DOUCHE Lawyer then!
Don’t be the prick who sues doctors for things they can’t prevent or simple mistakes (ala John Edwards). That stuff drives good people out of the medical profession, and it’s simply wrong.
If the insurance companies were fair about it
there’d be a lot fewer tort claims.

Don't blame insurance
For making us all pay more for everything!!! When that idiot woman sued mcdonald’s…who do you think paid that? Us…anyone who buys a burger from them. They just incorporate that extra expense into their product. Simple economics people.
while normally i'd warn that this is getting a bit too close to politics for our normal standards
I assume Tigerdog enjoys himself and you enjoy yourself and this won’t really matter. But everyone else, please look away!

I blame them all
Insurance, Lawyers, Certain elements in the medical community, and big Pharma- all of them.
and, of course, Jim Leyland

Put that in context
There were two anarchists that were plotting to create chaos in the world, and one of them said “first, let’s kill all the lawyers”.

The dean at my law school told that story at my commencement ceremony

I've been told multiple times to get my own malpractice insurance
Because apparently companies will cover you when the patients sues you, but then once the case is settled they’ll turn around and sue you themselves.

Yeah we have an effed up judicial system.
Those lawsuits should be thrown out right away. Doctors are human. Not always perfect.
I'm not a doctor, I'm a pharmacy student
We did have a couple law classes. Most potential lawsuits do get thrown out right away. And many cases stem from the fact that pharmacies are set up with the goal of getting stuff done as fast as possible with as few people as possible, and that just leaves the door wide open for mistakes to be made.

Unfortunately our medical system is just about pushing drugs...
at least with most doctors.
That's why they call it the practice of medicine
and not the practice of Healing.

Cleveland won?
They scored 5 in the bottom of the 9th to win 5-4?
Fuck those guys.
