My biggest problem with the city connect unis is that the White Sox have the best one. That alone makes them unacceptable.

Ron Filipowski sucks. These maga Twitter crazies like Ben Shapiro are trolls. Shapiro put out that ridiculous post about spices for exactly this response. He wants to rile up the other side to add clicks and in turn dollars to his pocket. Every single day Filipowski empowers these guys by retweeting them with some sort of “can you believe what these guys are saying now” tag. Whether he realizes it or not, he’s becoming the best marketing tool that maga Twitter has ever had. They couldn’t ask for a better friend than Filipowski for taking their troll bait everyday and continuing to spread it for them. I’m going to guess he’s never spent much time in an online forum like this one or else he’d know how the troll game works.

The media will tire of Trump when you and I and everyone else stop driving revenue into their coffers by clicking on Trump headlines.

at least he had the courtesy to cause it more in other countries than he did here.

Waiting on Harris to say how rough things were when he took over sitting next to his predecessor's son.

I saw a copy of this in a bookstore today. Is this Vance's favorite book?

I need to work the word confounded into my vocabulary.

they did do a little practice blowing a bridge in Kursk today though https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-destroyed-bridge-over-seim-river-in-kursk-oblast-russian-official-claims/

Asad's best friend in Congress.

Maybe if we all started calling them Manfred Jammies.

My problem with the City Connects is the MLB decision to institute them, far more than with the Tigers version. Alternate jerseys to honor the Negro Leagues, I’m onboard. The City Connects seem contrived - but if you have to do them, the Tiger version doesn’t bother me.

Ibanez has a role on a lefty heavy team, which the team projects to be. And he won't be expensive as an Arb1. I would keep him around.

Headlines write themselves: "Former Yankee farmhand handles Yankees in blowout Tigers win"

I heard his comments, I don't think it's something she should harp on over and over, but I don't think it's a bad part of her bio to highlight.... especially given that her opponent comes from the elite and hasn't had a day of real actual work in his entire life.

For some it was tuition and book money. Or enough to pay the rent. I remember days behind the Arby's slicer, smelling of french fry grease and Jomoca shakes at the end of a 9 hour shift. Took me 30 years to go near roast beef sandwich after those days.

Skubal, FA, Olson, FA/Mize/Maeda, FA/Mize/Maeda to start the season. Jobe limits innings in Toledo in April and is bumped up to be the first injury replacement. Montero, Gipson-Long, other prospects/projects in Toledo to be called upon as needed. Montero has shown glimpses, but just not enough to consider for a rotation spot out of camp. There's still time for that to change. Gipson-Long has a handful of MLB starts, coming off significant time lost. He'll need that time in Toledo. I would think Manning is out of options, but its tough to think he has much of a future with Detroit at this point anyway. I get that there were a lot of issues this season. But there's not enough pitching. And if they do have too much pitching going into the trade deadline next season, move some to address other weaknesses or get back a prospect or two.

Yeah Baddoo is going to stick around the peripheries of MLB for years and make some pretty decent money. He is a LHB with power and speed, and teams with hubris will think that they can fix his hit tool. You know, the way that the Braves' video guys fixed Robbie Grossman in 2 days. Good luck to him, he seems like a nice kid, I hope he does well.

Are there a lot of rainouts in the florida league during the summer. We vacationed there 3 times the last few years and every year we get rained out on plans. I guess double headers are a way of life. A few weeks ago we went to see the Tampa Tarpons, or tried to. $2 tickets so no big loss and we at least got to see the stadium. If I ever do move from the Detroit area I would probably get season tickets to the closest minor league team because watching a game is a great way to spend a summer evening and getting season tickets makes you feel a part of something.

Max Clark homered for WM Liranzo 1-1 with 4 BBs

The disorienting thing about our current moment versus previous cycles is just how the drive of the news cycle is out of Trump's hand at the moment. In the nine years since he came down the escalator, I don't think we've seen him less in control of the narrative (except for the two weeks after Jan 6th anyway) I know we are all influenced by the past, but it's a real distinction from 2016 and 2020. It explains the press conferences over the past week, even if they probably do more harm than good.

All your future ripened grapefruit are belong to us.

Kamala Harris was the district attorney of San Francisco 15 years ago.

Hanifee just mows down those three like it was nothing.

JV signed 2 year contract for 2023-24. also, there is a 3rd year at JV's option IF he hits 140 innings, which he will not. so there will be no 3rd year of that contract. JV has nothing to activate and Houston has nothing to decline

Some other tunes I enjoyed off of Post Malone's new country album include his duet with Luke Combs Missin' You Like This, California Sober with Chris Stapleton, Right About You, Nosedive with Lainey Wilson, and Mexico with Billy Strings. If you're into either country music or Post Malone I think the album F-1 Trillion is worth a listen all in all. It's by no means going to redefine the genre or become a Metamodern Sounds of Country Music or Southeastern type of album. That said, I can appreciate Post elevating artists like Billy Strings, Sierra Ferrell, Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers and the like on this album and throughout his career.

no to Adames; they are not spending $45 to $50M at SS next year; not happening; that would be approaching 50% of payroll

insert image of Admiral Akbar "its a trap, etc."

would not be a fan of Gio being let go. Badoo and McKinstry have to be it. Th

Boiled shoe leather isn't bad with some hot sauce

They have grown on me to be honest.

was just going to post this same thing. some of Trump's awfulness is just garden variety stupidity, but this - to me - is one of those McCain moments, where his barren soul is on full display. We've been asking "how can people tolerate this of a presidential candidate?" for years. I don't get it.

Still haven't heard what the corresponding moves are yet... My guess is Baddoo and McKinstry... Urshela can wait a bit longer...

I had Det News route for the street behind my house; hated it by the 4th year; but biggest lesson I learned was from a plumber who would always pay almost double what he owed me with. This blue collar guy with dirty hands was the best tipper; did not really appreciate it until a decade later, but now I tip like a boss.

Seattle feed of Baez HR - Oh boy

I like that, especially the sub headline "Rookie Accidently Burns All Detroit ****ty Connect Jerseys Before Debut".

oh yes... when he bought "a wood".

It really is amazing how so much commentary on this subject ignores the existence of the rest of the world. Of course, acknowledging the rest of the world is inconvenient and would raise questions about whether we'd be exactly where we are today had Trump been reelected in 2020, so....

Donald Trump compared the Medal of Freedom that his big donor got with the Medal of Honor. I would just like to say... is not the same as this

Polling over the past week has consistently showed Walz as being the most popular of each of the candidates currently on a ticket... Yet these clowns think he's the worst VP pick ever. Just stuck in their bubble

Correction; first hit off of Muńoz since July 4th. First run allowed since June 26th and 1st HR allowed since May 18th. And Javy Bāez got him. That's...baseball...

Plus another reclamation project as Tigermojo pointed out, plus a AAA reclamation project, plus other wannabe's/ hopefuls in Madden, Hurter, Melton, Flores... They should be able to squeeze by with the depth... Hopefully not running into the same health/ injury issues we've had this year...

Crazy, right? Just posted this on the 2024 thread. Wild card deficit is down to 7.5. KC is done with CWS while Det has 7 left with them. Maybe there's still a slim, slim chance

Wow, Sweeney and Jung? Just in time for the playoff push, too.

Don’t really know where to put this right now, but here it is.

Loss of freedoms in exchange for slightly cheaper food in some cases? Yes, please.

I wonder if the beat writers knew about Carlton Davis’s injury but realized if they reported on three corner injuries in one day they’d be likely to start riots.
