He never said you could drink bleach. Stop with that fake news. He said you could inject it. And if that doesn't work, he said you could try shining a light up your ass.

Greetings everyone. I've been a big fan of the Tigers ever since the Sparky Anderson days. I have lots of relatives that live in Chicago (Cub fans) that like to tease me. Nice to see our record better than the White Sox and Flubs.

But he got the second highest vote total ever. He didn't get rejected. There was just more resistance from the other side.

pretty sure its billions coming across the border

Sorry for the bottom half of the order Olson.

Drill him next time he comes up.

In the two games since I besmirched Jace Jung’s bat, he’s gone off. I guess I should do that more. Santana having an .063 average and a .333 OBP in May is one of the strangest stat lines I’ve seen.

O'Lantern was pitching in the Aussie league at age 16 with guys on average ten years older. This could be interesting.

New mock draft from Callis on MLB is basically the same from a month ago but I thought these rumors were interesting: "There's chatter that the Pirates are leaning toward cutting a discount deal with the top pick as they did two years ago, that the Tigers want college bats and would pass on Skenes and the prep outfielders at No. 3 and that the Twins don't want a high schooler at No. 5." https://www.mlb.com/tigers/news/2023-mlb-mock-draft-first-round-june-1?t=mlb-draft-coverage Crews a possibility for the Tigers? I'm sure they'll be happy to settle for Langford who's OPS is even higher than Crews now.

Agreed. A good thing. The only thing I would like to see implemented is during the extensive ABs ex 12 pitches+. At the 12 pitch point to one batter, add an additional 20-30 seconds at least at that point (one time). This way the pitchers arm is not overly extended during a short period. I swear I have seen this effect Ps (and their arms 'health wise') shortly afterwards.

The pitch clock is great and I agree it was implemented perfectly. I don't see the clock or think about it, but it makes the game easier to watch/hear.

Might this be the genesis of the stress fracture?

Good!

Yup - I'm sure those millions of people working at the discounted labor rates that American business can only get away with to illegals are costing the US economy billions net/net. More RW fantasy logic. Only in American RW double-think are the exploited blamed as exploiters. Well, maybe also Putin's Russia.

Random Thoughts/observations from my 6 days in Aruba: What's the deal with Cologne being such a thing in Duty Free shops? In Aruba there are no traffic signals. Just roundabouts. It worked fine. It's not a big island and traffic wasn't bad anyway. No real big cities there. Customs going down was interesting and easy. You fill out a form online, get emailed a QR code. A lady asks us to scan our passport into a machine, it does its thing, then the gate lets you through, one by one. We picked up our luggage, make our way through some doors, walked past two guys in uniform sitting at and on a desk talking to each other, not really interested in us, we went through some doors expecting more lines.... and we're outside. That was it. Coming back was different. You check your bags with your airline, go through Aruba clearance and customs again, then enter a US thing where they check your boarding pass again, you pick up your luggage that you already gave the airline, then go through US Customs Process (They have a thing there which is great), put your luggage back on the proper conveyor for your airline, go through another TSA check, then you are free to board. I liked being able to clear US customs in Aruba because then landing in the US is like a domestic flight. We had a connection so otherwise we'd have had to get our luggage and clear customs, then check it again. I wonder how many other countries are like that, where the US has a CBP presence at the airport you depart from. Aruba's temps are consistently high 90 and low 75 but there's a constant 15-20 MPH wind which makes it awesome. Didn't feel hot at all. I would go back in a heart beat. We met a couple that's on their 26th consecutive annual trip there, outside of 2020. The resort we were at was their favorite so that was a comfort. We loved our place. Had 5 restaurants of different varieties and buffets for lunch and dinner options.

I would pay $10 to any coach who went to the podium with a picture of Patricia in clown makeup on their shirt.

This has been playing in my head on repeat since the announcement.

They are mad at Target and I just saw something about Chik Fil A as well. I hope more and more companies do this so that eventually they are stuck making their own clothes and growing their own food.

Just looked it up..... he's a Scientologist. Forget what I said. He was into it. I didn't realize he Bill Cosby'd them. I use that term because I just got back from Aruba. In the swim up pool bar they had tables to put your drink on. A guy left his drink there, came back, and when he asked me if that was his, I confirmed, then he said "You didn't Bill Cosby it, did you?" And it's funnier when a black guy says it.

Just to reset some expectations here, he is 22 still, and if you look at some of the players taken before you will see a struggle to adjust to pro ball. Drafted 6th Jacob Berry .169/.203/.289 Drafted 8th Brooks Lee .268/.342/.435 Drafted 9th Gavin Cross .195/.292/.420 Drafted 11th Kevin Parada .243/.347/.405 Drafted 12th Jace Jung .221/.345/.376 I tried to pick players that were near Jung and were also coming out of college. What Neto is doing is not the norm so while having him would be fantastic and Jung has to hit to have value I would pump the brakes a bit on writing him off—just my 2 cents.
