Tigers have improved their team defensively. McKinstry, Vierling, Rogers, Maton are part of it. Baez not throwing the ball in the first row...and Torkelson scooping the ball well.

Per Wapo push alert.... Proud Boys found guilty of seditious conspiracy re 1/6. Hells to the yeah.

One of the comments is really funny, from a lady who said "please stop the unsolicited d*** pics"

Despite spending like a billion dollars the Mets now only have 1 fewer losses than the Tigers!

There's a lot of schools at the game today. We used to go to Jack Miner's bird sanctuary. Look at all the goose poop.

Great pitching performance,good form continues. And sorry if I missed an introduction thread?But anyway,long time Tigers fan even though from NC as I played football at Mercyhurst and therefore saw a ton of Seawolves games there in Erie. Teacher by trade and will go ahead and say it haha:Am also a Tar Heels and Redskins(Yes I still call them that) fan. Thanks!

Will Power won the Detroit Grand Prix last year. After the interview Shep said I wonder if he ever drives down the Lodge after the race and Gibby said No, that's demolition derby.

Capitalism is Bidens fault

Same. But mostly I'm just happy that Dan's not getting saddled with C-Mo this season.

The admin has no direct control over what the Fed does other than sparing with them rhetorically in public, which ususally has marginal effect at best. Deficit spending has some effect on inflation - not as much as what the fed does - but the big fiscal (non FED) driver for this inflation was the money the Congress doled out for Covid and that is now all over. The infrastructure spending is inflationary, it's also pretty vital as the country is falling apart. Thus the answer to that conundrum is that the deficit needs to be closed on the revenue side today far more than on the spending side. There is no such thing a modern society on the cheap. The GOP always knows that when they are in power, but they have the public bamboozled enough to keep using the arg when they are out.

Translation: "Corruption from my side is inconvenient to my arguments, so here's some unrelated stuff I'd rather you talk about instead" Rinse, repeat

The Republicans had their golden opportuntity to lower the debt when they controlled the Presidency and both houses iof Congress for two years. They failed, because they are no more interested in reducing the debt than Democrarts.

Leyland: " you guys are gonna be co-pilots" Verlander: "so Pilot and Co-Pilot?" Leyland: "No Co Pilot and Co- Pilot" Verlander: "That maybe confusing to the guys cause they look at me as their Pilot." Leyland: "Max will run the day to day things while Justin you focus on big picture stuff."(starting opening days and Game 1 of playoff series) Yeah this doesn't make sense to people that don't get the reference from The Office but anytime I see something with Co infront of it I think of that scene with Michael, Jim and Wallace.

2022 Tigers: 12-17 1987 Tigers got off to an 11-18 start. Just sayin'.

Shep: "The Tigers have scored as many runs in 5 innings tonight as they did in 8 innings in the first game." lol Usually when you start out a tidbit like that it leads to something like "as they have scored in the previous 3 games combined" or something like that, not something like scoring 6 runs in 5 innings vs. 6 runs in 8.

Speaking of hard to fathom, try this on your imagination: my dad was twenty years old when he stepped into the Dachau situation. What were you doing when you were twenty? I don’t know you or your background, but I’m going to take a flyer on the answer “nothing even remotely close to this.” Me, I was ****ing around most of the time, which my dad’s service ensured that I would have the freedom to do if I so chose.

oooh...this is good I guess SA decided they wanted to remain in the family of nations.

The headline: Clarence Thomas has a child in Private School; Harlan Crow paid tuition. That's amazing. 1. Clarence Thomas had a child. I thought that was something only a woman could do after the appropriate gestation period for a human mammal. 2. He did it while he was in private school. Well done my man. Unless you were home schooled. 3. Harlan Crow appears to be covering every aspect of Thomas' life. How do I get one of those? Do I need to be a Supreme Court justice or Donald Trump's son-in-law?

Gary and Keith sounded like they wanted to go down to field level and deck Nimmo there lol

I tend to think we could get more for Eduardo by trading him sooner rather than later. A starting pitcher is one of the biggest difference-makers for a team in contention or trying to move from the edge of contention into the race. An earlier trade results in more starts for the new team. Obviously you have to have a willing partner, but if I'm in Harris' shoes, I am opening up shop sooner rather than later.

they might be able to get some betting action going behind that.

and he's being interviewed by Trevor Thompson? yeesh.

Eduardo REALLY wants to leave Detroit after this season and is pitching like it

Perfect throw on the CS from Rogers to Ibanez, who basically gave Tommy Pham a concussion with that tag! 💀

Sure, give her a shot, why not? So far I like Cameron Maybin the best, but Dan's sidekick is surely too small a box to stuff his talent into. He's got the chops to go national. Same with Alex Avila, plus who knows, maybe he's sore at us over his dad.

I like her, I hope they she fills in sometime for a whole game.

She was on yesterday, too. I think her name is Daniela Bruce. I think she's in the studio, not the booth.

This is kind of interesting—press freedoms for basically all the countries of Europe, compared to that of the United States and Russia. "But wait", some might be asking themselves. "The United States is #1 in all freedoms! How can they be ranked #45 here, behind just about every country in Europe, including ex-Warsaw Pact nations? What kind of garbage criteria are these people using?" Two things: lol A good explanation of this lives here, but basically, it has to do with concentration of media in just a few hands, decline in local news, the rise of ultra-partisan media, and the constant denigration of the media by the fascist right wing that has eroded confidence in the objectivity of mass media.

Keep Schoop and Miggie on the bench ='s chance to win? 🤷‍♂️

Of course we're right by the Seahawks after the debate yesterday!

Collective security

I expect an electric afternoon down at Comerica! Seriously though if I didn't have to work Id love to be down there for this. Between the sun, Verlander and the Tigers playing better it would be a nice time to go.

Morocco?

After being a member of quite a few space related Facebook groups I can tell you there are a lot of people who still believe that.

Meteoric rise to Toledo? Waiting for the Cody Stavenhagen expose about how Dingler sought out a Himalayan hitting guru who completely transformed his hitting approach in the offseason.

It looks that way...but the second game has probably been their best of the year.

this makes me want to dig out GTA: San Andreas and take over some territories for the Grove Street Families.

Scherzer gets electrocuted.

I'm sure he has plenty left. probably just rusty from his suspension.

Pulled up at 2nd on a triple...

This is some bat**** crazy stuff. Trump used to infamously attack John Mccain and thought soldiers who died in war were suckers and then this:

I had read that the English use of the non-rhotic "r" (i.e., dropping the r sound in words) started in the 18th Century as an affectation among the upper classes around London and spread throughout the country from there, but I had no idea that the rhotic r was still in wide use in England through the middle of the 20th century. Apparently, the standardization of pronunciation to embrace the non-rhotic r was related to the wide spreading of BBC broadcasts.

Or Al Albuquerque.

Makes me wonder what Omar Olivares is doing these days.

If people don’t recognize the out and out war against women, they’re being purposefully obtuse.
