Jim Price after reaching heaven: "Nice Area"

I think I may ask my local school system to ban the Bible from libraries. Stories of infidelity, incest, murder, mayham. Nothing under age children should be reading or even learning about.

I was just thinking that to move Bigbie up the choices were Meadows to Det or cut Witherspoon

Zack Ohtani!

Yeah, I don't think Harris is getting enough credit for taking the arrows on this. Obviously some will come back and say "he shouldn't get credit, that's his job".... OTOH, his predecessor was fine with making excuses.

Like...Bigbie, man...you're not a prospect, OK? You're just going to have to learn how to deal with it.

GOP referendum in OHIO to limit the public's ability to pass future referenda is going down in flames. The immediate result is that Ohio's harsh legislative abortion bans are going to be repealed by the public in the next general election. We can also hope that the reaction against this GOP overplay may push the state back toward the middle where it has traditionally been, but that is more doubtful. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/08/us/ohio-election-issue-1-results.html

Zack Short has quietly been pretty good for us this year, he's currently sitting at 1.1 WAR over 160 ABs which rates out to over 3 wins if he was a full time regular for a whole season. Of course it's hard to say if he would have the same production if he played every day but regardless for the role he has been given he has been more than adequate.

Tied with Robin Yount for 19th all-time in hits.So glad to see Miggy going out with more of a bang.

“Hey God, has anyone told you that you sound a lot like Paul Carey?”

Nice man with a million stories, some he could never tell on the air. I just talked it about it on the air in Ann Arbor. I ended my break with "Jim Price was from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.......nice area". I think most people would take that as a tribute and not a joke.

Sarah Langs is the best.

This is a sad moment. Jim Price is family. Period.

This is pretty good. https://pac-4.com/

They can't sign Burke. How can you have two CP3's on the same team.

maybe this guy ran out onto the field to give Dan and Andy extra time to talk about Miggy's 2013 homer off of Mariano Rivera.

Tork needs to back off and stop trying to hit every pitch to Toledo.

Regarding being able to sign Miggy….. unfortunately they were able to sign him twice.

Most prospects don't reach their full potential. So when you trade prospects for proven talent, you are going to win most of the time. Maybin and Miller were top 10 prospects in all of baseball. While both had decent careers, neither one became a superstar. Take Torkelson for another example. 2 years ago we could've gotten a better return for him than what we could get now. Most people would be opposed to trading him, back then and right now. But hindsight might tell a different story. Of course, we will never know who we could get because he was never on the tading block. But what if the Tigers were ready to compete in 2021 like they were in 2008? (Sorry, just fantasizing about being buyers instead of sellers).

I know "If Obama said that," is overdone, but if Obama said he preferred a foreign country over America, Fox would hold a five day telethon, and their anchors would literally weep about the damage he has damage to the county by saying that

Come on man...this is gonna get the mods to drop a gavel on you. I appreciate the note of course.

I think Duren is set to have a very good year as well...I like the nucleus of Cade, Ivey and Duren....and hopefully Thompson

**** it, play him at first. Torkelson needs some days off . . .

Everywhere I've ever voted is basically scantron and you walk it over to tabulation machine but you get a manilla folder like cover to conceal the ballot and they have you hold that envelope while you feed it into the machine. If you give a **** about hiding your vote that is. I personally don't give a rats ass if the world knows I vote against the republic party

It is so great. I've been consuming a but of that content. There's one by Mic Tyson on twitter that kilt me

Dirks mentioned the running gag that the dozen duo had over the jersey numerals on the broadcast last night. Paraphrasing a bit but: Price: "That number still has some hits left in it. I saved some for you". Dirks: "I can't believe they're letting me wear it. It should've been retired by now." Price: "You know, that's a pretty good point. I gotta talk to somebody about that."

This is cool. Philpott shared the same story in our cyber baseball league.

The nicest man I have ever met. I've shared the story many times around these parts but at the 2006 ALDS game (Bonderman game), Philpott and I were hanging down near the batting cage behind the net. He came over and just chatted with us for a good ten minutes. He was just incredibly happy to engage with us.

Not sure there is a good answer to the question. So better to avoid it. You have to immediately respond to that first response with "It will have to be by Wed because... (insert whatever reason sounds likely)" Now you are covered and they are forewarned to be timely if they are really interested. You can give them more slack if you want, but it's your decision. And you have a re-recruitment date. With practice it becomes second nature not to offer open ended choices to people except those that mean enough to you that you don't mind if they upset your life.

So far I like this Turney kid who wasn't drafted. After 2 games, 1.625 OPS. So I'm thinking that Clark, Briceno, and Turney will be going into the Hall on the same day.

I love how we go from the sky is falling to hitting the jackpot on a day to day basis with Jamo. Gotta love training camp.

I hope the GOP keeps running on abortion. It’s a real winner.

Henning complaining about E-Rod screwing up our "lottery odds", oh joy that'll be the dead horse he beats every one of his starts until the end of the season.

In the grand scheme of things it isn't ideal that we didn't trade E-Rod but seeing games like this makes it more tolerable short term cause if we traded him we'd just be having to watch some AAAA guy like Wentz throw a garbage game. Atleast keeping him saves us from seeing 10ish extra games like that.

His MO now is that he is returning a serve.

Fans at the Baltimore Houston Game tonight are chanting Free Kevin Brown!! And Broadcasters on TBS are ripping the Orioles

Cabrera third on the team in OBP.

OPS is over 800 since early June and HR every 20 AB. Hinch staying a little behind the curve on his catchers. Played Barhhart in favor of Haase too much last season. Haase has played too much over Rogers this season.

I know of one he had... https://www.thedailybeast.com/ron-desantis-ally-kent-stermon-killed-himself-after-being-accused-of-sexual-misconduct-with-minor And a literally knew this because a friend of mine lived down the street from him and was facebook friends with this guy and saw some odd facebook postings tagging Ronny D's personal account in the weeks leading up to his death.

Uncle Lucius Keep the Wolves Away always hits me. Such a well written, emotive song.

Lange is keeping that dream alive for Hess.
