True. And these are reactions fans can have...dismay that they didnt bring in just the right player(s) at the trade deadline that turned them into championship favorites, at some undisclosed cost. And total negativity that there's no way they can ever win (dont forget people saying we would go winless when Cade was injured). Or we could stay positive, forget the stats and reality and just enjoy a professional basketball team that only 2 season ago won only 14 games. At that time, I would gladly have been happy with a 60 win season and being down 3-2 in the first round. I guess I just prefer to stay positive, until the games start. Then I have my typical negative knee-jerk reactions. 😅😅 If the Pistons somehow win Friday night, all the pressure will be on Orlando for a game 7 in Detroit.

I wonder whether the 100 million rank and file red hats are falling in line with this rhetorical strategy? @Tigeraholic1? Any insight from on the ground there?

This guy.

Plan B, since the Plan A of merely telling the press that Ukraine has already lost the war hasn't seemed to work.

Does that mean we go in and start bombing Pakistan?

Regarding shortstop, McKinstry may be available as soon as this weekend. They may be waiting for him, rather than making a SS roster move.

Riley, Tork, Torres already playing every day. So is Kevin, he was splitting SS with Javy when he was available. Kevin at third with Javy at SS and Wenceel in center with Javy SS. I don't think you and A.J. are that far off.

Tim Scott also appears to be hitting the crack pipe this morning

Get back on that horse.

There's a new generation of Outlaws that in my opinion align with the originals in that they reject and don't go along with mainstream country. Their music has been highlighted in this thread by others. Sturgill, Isbell, etc The Ken Burns doc did a great job showing how the Outlaw movement grew. Willie wasn't having success in Nashville, went to Texas, basically created Austin City Limits. There he found himself playing in places that included college students, bikers, rednecks... they all got along. He told Waylon and Merle to get down there. Then Cash followed.

Tigers - don't look now, but Craig Kimbrel might be available. - Over The Hill - Was a great closer 10 years ago Sounds like a perfect fit ! LET'S MAKE THIS WORK

It rhetoric a la Neil Simon. Through the pasta at the wall and take whatever sticks.

So the options now are a rapist sympathizing Nazi republican or Susan Collins.

I think people are underrating the pass rushing juice and run defense that Moore provides.

It was a joke about they love roster flexibility.

It would be nice if it were only a matter of trust in McGonigle as a player. It's more the team risk issue that any player may be forced to leave a game by something that happens to him that's beyond his control - HBP etc. They are basically saying they are willing to lose a game rather make a roster move - or alternatively I guess you could say they are admitting they don't have a single healthy SS left in the system they trust to go into a game and play better than a guy (Lee) who hasn't played there in 3 yrs. On second thought maybe the latter is actually the case.

Be interesting to see if Franz plays or not. Orlando really missed him in game 5. They missed him as another shot creator and more importantly, as a defender on Cade. Franz has the most possessions as the primary defender on Cade at 86. Cade's EFG% in those possessions is just 39% with 6 turnovers.

Every eastern conference series will go at least 6 games. First time that has happened in 12 years for the first round.

Willie and Waylon's ex-wife Jessie Colter I believe are the only ones left.

Trusting in Mcgodigle is not living on the edge.

Generally not a great sign when the lies are so big that even Joe Kernan doesn't want to touch then $6.00/gal gas? Double digit interest rates? What crack pipe is Scalise hitting?

Fortunately Jansen only threw 11 pitches last night closing out the game so he will be available again today. I think my app is buggy though because it does not give Skubal the win, and as far as I know we don’t have a pitcher named Lopez. Gonna look into it.
