I’ve never been happier to have my CC charged $900. baseball on my birthday next week. So much for wanting Baltimore.

Oh well, I still get to go home to Kate Upton

I would have kept Rose out of the Hall just for his haircut. It reminds me of something else for which I have always wanted to hear an explanation...the are 1.8 million Americans in prison, but Ken Burns' barber is not among them.

Not sure if anyone has already mentioned it, I don't see it at first glance, but Daniella Bruce quotes Skubal as saying that today's issue was just cramping and doesn't see it as an issue going forward.

This is fantastic. Congratulations to the Tigers & all their fans. 🎉🐅❤️

They literally just charged my card a moment ago.

The latest from JVL. Vance changes personas more often than Trump changes diapers (my words) https://www.thebulwark.com/p/jd-vance-40-is-here?utm_source=substack&publication_id=87281&post_id=149705907&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&utm_campaign=email-share&triggerShare=true&isFreemail=false&r=45wcm&triedRedirect=true

So that we do not forget this in light of Trump claiming that there was no plan

I'm with you. I hope the Tigers' relationship with its fans this October is like that of a content middle-aged man and a happy wife who have a bond that is cozy, fruitful and endures. Not a relationship like that of a newly-single middle-aged man dating for the first time since 2014 who is chasing thrills and spills with a young, hot but crazy chick who splits after the weekend.

Imagine being off the grid for 2 months, you come back and ask your friends/family what their plans are for the weekend and they respond with "Got tickets to the Tigers playoff game".

is 31-11 the new 35-5?

40 years later...

Nobody...nobody expected this run. It just wasn't supposed to happen.

Seriously… after they went down 2-1 it seemed inevitable. That’s the kind of comeback that shows a different team. It can’t be chalked up to luck.

A.I. is stealing jobs in Houston

Who cares about Tigers being the lowest rated team in the odds **** that.

this is all very exciting.

This is amazing

What a wild two month ride with these kids.

It's not like Jobe was giving up hard contact. I still don't mind the move.

A run would be jolly

According to Dan he makes his offseason home in downtown Detroit.

Nice going on both ends of that play from “McStinky” to TORK!

Do it for @ben9753!

Worth noting that Benetti is employed by the Tigers, not Bally. I believe that is true for Petry and Dirks too...

If these dudes can somehow manage to win the World Series, it will be the greatest championship run in the city's history. Not predicting it, just saying. Would be fk’n amazing. LGT.

Vance comes across as the guy who tries to be the smartest one in the room. Also the guy you watch at the bar to see if he tries to put something in the woman he trying to impress drink.

Listening to Braves/Padres, and they just mentioned that the team that wins Game 1 of the WC series has gone on to advance 88% of the time. 'Course, that's only like a three-year sample but, hell, I'll take it.

When Dan Dickerson was interviewing AJ before the game, their discussion of how for the last 40+ games the Tigers had already been in “playoff mode” really fascinated me. It reminded me of the first Karate Kid movie where the youngster is learning all the moves by washing the car, which will be put to use for a higher purpose later on. Here it was facing every game as if it were do or die — which it was — and making strategic changes as if there were no tomorrow in a fearless but calculated manner, then doing it again and again day after day and inculcating this pattern as a part of the ingrained muscle memory of the team. This is really a beautiful season for many reasons, but this is one of them.

You can see it here at 2:30. (Also a good watch).

Here's a longer version of Dan calling the final out without getting cut off; Edit; Oops, already been posted. Should have known. 😁

Ibanez is a brand of guitars, widely used by metal/shred guitarists.

We are still going to win, so this is all moot

Hinch is gonna take flak for putting him in, but i don’t hate it.

The hero we need

Since I’m spending my last 7–10 days in the mountains of Central Idaho before shutting this cottage down for the winter I think I will take a walk along Lake Payette at Ponderosa State Park because I won’t have many more opportunities to do this. I’ll then log in and clap my hands at the run scoring manna from heaven the Tigers will have produced in my absence.

Play it again, Sam.

The Mike Pence line was just brutal... Brutal. I wish it wasn't hidden in the back of the proceedings, but these debates are about viral moments and that was a good one
