I remember the World Series and Tim McCarver’s announcing and not being a very objective observer, but I didn’t realize until a few days ago he died three years ago, and I feel bad about speaking ill of the dead. I remember about a year ago recounting how badly 1968 must’ve affected him and relishing it and now I’m not particularly proud of my remarks.

The sad thing is, Mario could have been better with someone else. On a few occasions when he worked with someone else the difference was obvious, he was much more personable and engaged with the other person in the booth and it was a better broadcast. Rod could do color, but Mario was right about that too - too often he hadn't done any homework and he would go whole games adding nothing but his cutesy signature lines. Tiger's have only themselves to blame, they should have broken them up years before it fell apart. Sure you don't have to like someone to work with them, but when it reaches where one detests the other to the point he can't be his best self professionally it's no good to keep forcing it. The interlude with Shep was regrettable, but they've landed on their feet with Benetti, for as long as he stays.

Until tonight Riley only had 7 Ks in 43 PA, which is a decent reduction. Unfortunately all his other results have a reduction as well. We've heard a lot of talk about Riley having worked on a lot of stuff in the off season, but so far the upper cut swing doesn't look real different to me.

So all this amounted to was that we have given Bibi the free use of the worlds most expensive lawn mower for 30 days (which we get back with its blade seriously dulled) so he could extend his 'forever war' just a little further out before it becomes the failure it will inevitably be.

We just have to wait until the talking points come down so expect something about either a trans, immigrant, or something vaguely similar a Democrat did that one time in a similar but completely different scenario.

Greene and Tork 11 games in and 0 HR.

No, you don't understand, we just have to be patient and we will see the victory emerge....or so we were told.

Johnson only won by 1% last time and Dems didn't invest much in Wisconsin. It's a bloodbath in Wisconsin right now.

Iran has just been funded to the tune of 100 new Shaheeds per ship Transit. So much winning.

I think with Buffalo making the playoffs, and Edmonton having made it to Game 7 of the SCF the past 2 years, the Wings will be the NHL's new punchline, at least for the next year.

It is too bad Johnson isn't up this cycle because he'd probably be toast.

It's about that time for my annual tradition of figuring out who I'll be rooting for in the playoffs since the Wings ain't gonna be there. It's a toss up between Buffalo and Utah so maybe I'll just go with both until one of them is eliminated.

Last place in the Central… The only place to go is up!

I thought maybe the tide had turned when we got past Riley in the order, but foiled again.

Last place weeeeeee

If we're doing election stuff here....

This April is looking too much like '24. I liked last year's better.

LOL - Spencer apparently loves batting 7th, on base 10 of his last 16 PA.

Boo

Loss. Oh well

Awww, maaan …
