Meanwhile, in Minneapolis, its business as usual did Pig-King’s Brownshirt terror thugs.

But it also took Paolo being Superman to keep those guys in the game. It evened out between the two. Regardless, I wouldn't say that this win inspired much confidence since Duren was still largely a no show and the bench still isn't bringing much but they're alive still so we'll take it.

I’m not saying there’s no chance but it’s very, very slim they win on Friday. The reason is that despite Orlando being a tough matchup, JB refuses to make any changes or adjustments in order to maximize their chances to win. He’s taken the foolish approach of playing their game and focusing just on themselves thinking that’s good enough to win. There’s very little adjustment for their opponent. The same rotations, the same sets, same defensive assignments. There are buttons he can press to counter what the Magic is doing but he’s such a bad coach in game that he’s incapable of doing anything different.

Michkov assists on the series-winning OT goal that knocks out the Penguins.

The thing that gets me is that if you wanted to get good relief pitchers, they might like the idea of playing half of their games in what is generally considered - rightly or wrongly - a pitcher’s ballpark. But that just doesn’t seem to happen. Maybe there just aren’t that many good relief pitchers and they’re mercurial and flame out anyway. After all, almost relief pitchers are just failed starters. (and Jansen, cruelly, is the exception of the rule). I just wish there was a real way we could buy our way out of this situation.

A little sooner than I thought,but Kenley has already turned into Kahnle.

youre forgetting the part where orlando sucks. the pistons arent great, but they can definitely beat this orlando team.

down 5 with 1 second left and toronto calls timeout to call a play. are you kidding?

IDK, the Pistons still haven't played their best game and they've won 2. I wouldn't bet against them. Win Friday and come home for a game 7. At least make it interesting.

Use Finnegan or Vest as a closer? JV?

Orlando was 16-30 at the FT line. Had they shot 80% they win. Pistons are going to get smoked in Game 6.

stew switched on to him in that last sequence. you know, the one where banchero couldnt get a shot off? but yeah, lets try lavert or harris again. that worked.

Oh well. At least Enmannuel DeJesus is back

Now we are engaged in a great civic war. Who knows whether this nation will endure.

But the Tigers think they can get something out of these older guys - like Charlie Morton. And now - for the first time that I can remember in a VERY long time, the minors are not loaded with potential pitchers........well, not ones that could help them THIS year.

Joe Nathan...exactly. And the Angels DFA'ed their closer after blowing several 9th inning save chances. They must have seen enough of Jansen. They knew....

Beef tallow will cure it

In any other timeline without Wemby in the league for Ausar's whole career, he'd win multiple DPOYs.

Watching the Tigers with no sound on while the Pistons are on the big screen. As soon as Jansen walked the leadoff hitter, I thought he was gonna give it up. But the Pistons held on and Skubal scared the bile outta me!!

If Hinch doesn’t start using Vest and Finnegan in the 9th, I’ll drive him to Boston.
