It's Maytawn.

Guns and Tax avoidance? - he's a damn GOP hero!

being early is also kind of rude when you are having events at home... say a birthday party or get together. People are still getting ready and cleaning. Then they have to entertain you.

They have. He's a good writer who actually does have journalistic principles. He can sometimes go down some rabbit holes that may not be correct, and those may be more frequent now than before, but on the whole there is a reason he has stuck around covering the Tigers for a long time. He's good at his job, or was before he retired to part time work. I have some quibbles with him, but there are a lot worse people reporting on the Tigers.

Because the Tigers organization is run by morans.

Hell, I'd give them Berggren AND Zadina.

If they did 5 for 9 and 16 I would call Dallas and see if Bojan + 16 gets us 10.

Even I don't want to be in any group that would have me as a member.

Pelican fans should be excited. This will be the most tape of Zion they have seen in months.

Fresh load of digital manure just arrived from Moscow for immediate distribution by all acolytes.

The Tigers retweeted some hype thing about Mike Rothenberg hitting three hrs today in the complex league. At 24, two years after being drafted from college, he should be hitting at least that per game.

When you're Tim Moore, you probably have a difficult time getting any, so the value goes up.

Jake!

Maybin is light years better than C-Mo

Most people really hate it when other people are late, meaning really late, and especially chronically late. Yeah, I hate that, too. But just as much, I hate when appointments come early. I don't mean five minutes early. That's fine—preferable, even. I mean, like, really early. Fifteen, twenty, thirty minutes early. That's what I hate, because I got stuff that I'm working on, and now I gotta stop because they're here early? Maybe they think it demonstrates that they are eager for the business, or maybe they even think it's a sign of respect that they'll come to see you soon as possible. Me, I don't think it's respectful—I think it's borderline disrespectful, or if not exactly that, then at least maybe a tad ... I don't know, thoughtless? After all, I'm a busy man, and I have things to do. I plan out my schedule based on when they're going to arrive, so if they show up twenty minutes early, all of a sudden I'm supposed to stop what I had planned out my time out to do and deal with them instead? Media reps would do that **** all the time. They'd show up fifteen minutes early when I'm in the middle of working on a big client deck. I would ask them to hang out in the lobby until our appointed time but I always felt like they thought I was being a jerk asking them to do that, then I'd feel like I would have to apologize to them for not being able to see them until our scheduled time instead of super early. Whenever I would go to see someone for an appointment and I happened to be really early, I would let the receptionist know I was there but then ask them (1) is it OK if I hang out in the lobby and catch up on stuff until the appointment time, and (2) please don't let my appointment know I was there until five minutes before the appointment. Sometimes my appointment would be crossing across the lobby, see me, and say hey, didn't know you were here already, and I'd be like, yeah I got here really early and I didn't want to disturb you until it's time, and then I would spool out my philosophy to them on arriving acceptably early versus unacceptably early. I made a couple of converts that way. I would also explain this to college graduates who would inevitably come to the interview half an hour early to show how eager they were for me to hire them, and then I would explain to them the same philosophy, and I loved seeing the light bulb go on when I did. They're still flexible thinkers so they would totally get what I meant. I love molding young minds. There will be people here who disagree, but if you're one, you won't be able to change my mind about this.

Ooops, forgot to use the sarcasm font

Prob gonna need to put Carp in to hit pretty soon...this Royals pitcher is really good.

Thank God France lost

Yes that's true. He was right of course, he wasn't worth it, but the other players were really upset because it gave that tightwad Campbell a reason to hold their pay down.

When I saw the thread title I had no idea what it was about. Now I realize it is about Meighton.

My favorite trade in this category was Steve Kemp for Chet Lemon. I wasn't crazy about it at the time, but it turned out well for the Tigers. I believe Kemp suffered an injury a year or two later and was never the same.

FYI And what about the Trump Crime Family deal with Oman?

Thats an awesome pic! I always love looking at the fans in these old pics.

All of this talk makes me think of the anecdote "I'll let you know" means "I'm not coming"

MAGA world is melting down over Hunter's "deal". Of course they are totally ignoring the fact that this entire investigation was being led by a Trump appointee and was opened 5 years ago.

hood schifino sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. i'd rather have walker.

fwiw: hollinger has whitmore at 3 and walker at 12. walker as a defender but doesnt see where his offense will come from; whitmore as an uber athletic wing who can shoot and defend which, according to hollinger is "the most valuable commodity in the sport right now." i dont really trust hollinger, but that's where his head is at.

Volume shooter?

It would be nice if the date actually holds or stays reasonably close. I wouldn't count on it though knowing the histories of the judge and the defendant.

When I have had job interviews, I always drive the route the day before and then I plan to arrive 30 minutes early (planning for traffic situations that I can not control) and then if I arrive at the building 30 minutes early, I sit in my car and wait - walk in 10 minutes before the interview time. Always 10 minutes. 10 minutes does a few things. It shows that you are READY for the interview at it's start time, not fumbling around with things at the start time. It also shows the interviewer some respect and it gives you a chance to observe people walking around the office. Does everyone look miserable or content? Do people interact well with each other? Does anyone seem rushed? When I did my first interview for the radio station in Ann Arbor back in 2004, when I was in the lobby waiting, one staffer walked by and said "are you sure you want this?", walked into the PDs office, talked to him a little bit and walked out laughing and as soon as he looked at me he stopped laughing, got this dour look on this face and as he walked by me, shook his head and said "you poor bastard"......I knew I would fit in well there.

This photo makes me sappy.

Luis Arraez currently 5-5 to push his BA to an even .400 on the year, amazing!

well you might as well use him - if he doesn't straighten out we've got bigger problems than losing one lead to the Royals.

Instead a Carp bomb!!!

Instead we got a Tork F-Bomb. Not as satisfying.

Has anyone ever seen Crazy Cat Gentleman and Tigermojo in the same room?

Schoop did something!

Tyler Alexander Perfect inning Perfect stache

I think Maybin and Dickerson make a great radio combo.

espn (givony) has whitmore at 6 and walker at 7. nba draft net has whitmore at 7 and walker at 13. all over the map. but i havent seen one map have walker over whitmore. that said, i havent seen many, so there probably are some out there. i think you swing for the fences at 5, and to me that's a player like whitmore and definitely NOT a player like walker.

No CMo-isms today.

many nights when it is difficult for us, too

These 5 words have never been strung together before.

Here is a mock draft from Joe Doyle, he does a lot around prospects etc on Twitter. 3. Wyatt Langford, OF — Florida The Tigers have been out to see Virginia catcher Kyle Teel on a number of occasions, even as recently as the Super Regionals. That said, it seems as though those efforts are more of a backup plan as Tigers’ front office members are purportedly “nervous” that Langford won’t get to them at 3. General Manager Scott Harris is embarking on his first MLB Draft for the organization and it would only make sense for him to follow his analytic roots and take a hitter here. Maybe the team could entertain an under-slot move with a Tommy Troy or Matt Shaw in the event Langford is gone and Teel isn’t their cup of tea. 37. Max Anderson, 3B — Nebraska Anderson might be the most complete college hitter in the entire country aside from Crews. His contact rates against spin and velocity are both among the elite. He can handle absolutely anything. His positional value may only ever end up average, but he’s projects a solid regular who could boast an above-average hit tool with average game power when all is said and done. It remains to be seen how Scott Harris is going to attack this draft, but our bet would be he leans on analytics harder than his predecessors. https://futurestarsseries.com/mlb-draft-mock-draft-3-0-max-clark-dylan-crews-surges/

Exactly, he acts like there are only two sides, hater or sycophant. Is Harris a good GM? We don't know yet. Are the Tigers playing good baseball? Sometimes, but not consistently. Do they have enough talent to compete in the playoffs? No. Do they have a pipeline of good, young talent? Some, but not enough. Is there hope for the future? Of course, there's always hope.

Happy Fathers Day guys!

Camp Stanley. 15th Artillery. A few miles outside of Seoul.

Since I see mentions of time spent in Korea, I might as well throw in that I was at Camp Casey 2nd ID in 1987.

Fun fact: this is the song playing in the elevator when the Blues Brothers arrive downtown to pay the tax bill for the penguin.
