Stefanik and MAGA would have sent out breathless fund-raising emails if Cuomo won, or anyone won. the GOP called Obama, the most conservative democrat since Truman, a socialist. I really effing hate that Dems are always on the defensive - what will MAGA do? how will conservative media lie? that is at the core of the old time Dems were/are terrified about his win. stop it. his message is mostly silly, not evil, and he will need to send in the cops the first time Hamas supports riot. but this guy will be on Fox so much that you will think he was one of the 4 trans athlete in the NCAA

Looks like Reese Olsen had a good outing for Toledo and is on his way back to the squad.

Dirks made an excellent observation breaking down Wenceel's swing on his 2 run double ...the way he got his hands in and shortened up to pull the ball hard. It was a "baseball player" swing as opposed to just a pure athlete. Not saying Wenceel isn't athletic...but he's definitely a baseball player. He never seems out of place no matter where they play him. Like Javy...

The politics of Gaza shouldn’t have anything to do with the mayoral race in NYC. The immigrant population of the city is a heavy majority Caribbean and South American. They don’t care about it. The constituents that care are the large Jewish population and they are on the opposing side of the issue from Mamdani. He’s taken a personal issue and made a large talking point against his campaign policy. This is a problem for him that shouldn’t exist. He’s got to find a way to move completely off Gaza and not make it any issue moving forward. That’s going to be hard to do since the right will be doing everything they can to keep it on the front page.

A bit off track but I found out today that folk singer Woody Guthrie had a song called Old Man Trump in his repertoire. The song describes Fred Trump's racist practices as a landlord. Woody rented an apartment at Trump's Beach Haven Apartments. I don't think he ever recorded the song but did sing it often. There are versions on YouTube Here is an AI updated version on his son

Wenceel amazes me. I though he was done when they moved him off of second but the kid hung in there and has turned into a heck of a ballplayer. Longest tenured in the organization I believe. Seems like I have been reading reports on him forever. He does things right and he is effective. He's been outstanding in his 75 ABs so far. He's moved from 4th outfielder to RF starter and if he can maintain this bat, a star quality outfielder. Hats off.

With the win tonight, along with all four minor league teams winning, the Tigers org achieves the Aurora Borealis for the 8th time this season.

I don't think we should read too far into this result in regards to the Midterms and honestly think that they will find good candidates in a lot of different places to run and win that fit their districts. But I do think there's a lesson in Cuomo that's part tied in with the sleazy aspects, but also the fact that he was very emblematic of an "old guard" that is holding on and not allowing for the elevation of newer and younger candidates, regardless of ideology. That stuff has to stop... I think it's an underrated dynamic as to why people take such a dim view of the Democratic Party, even despite Trump's falling poll numbers.

I think it's more of an issue no one wants to be mayor of New York. Dems have great centrist candidates across the country.

Should have used an opener.

Similar feeling. The one I do miss from back in the day is Pogo.

Was a bit shocked Bridges name came up. I wonder what they are even looking for. He has 1 year left, maybe they just realize they can't afford to keep him.

Joe Btfsplk was a character in the satirical comic strip Li’l Abner by cartoonist Al Capp. The hapless Btfsplk means well, but he is "the world's worst jinx" and brings disastrous misfortune to everyone around him. A small, dark rain cloud perpetually hovers over his head to symbolize his bad luck. Btfsplk and his ever-present cloud became one of the most iconic images in Li'l Abner.

Maybe try to be a bit on the positive side more in life?

Oh, **** off

It's worth noting that AOC was about as vocally supportive as anybody of Joe Biden as the walls were caving in post-debate last year. So I think she's more of a team player than you are giving her credit for.

Re: being "fixed". My wife thinks this is top 5 funniest memes she has seen. She's an animal lover who had a black cat who looked just like this so, make of that what you will.

Remember how the Tigers coaches sucked because the BRaves "fixed" Robbie Grossman?

Maybe MGOBLOG but it would come with a dash more smarminess.

the problem is you would never know it listening to people like AOC. They haven't learned the art of supporting the team while playing your own game on the side. It's a curious paradox that diversity of person is such a mantra from the the prog left, which is fine, but they love ideological conformity just as much as any other movement.

I asked Google yesterday to give me my family Medical Doctors number cause I misplaced it and instead of spitting out the number "gemini" spit out a 1000 word essay about his background......he's been our family Doctor for almost 50 yrs now so we know alot about him and his background and virtually everything it said about him wasn't accurate.

Just wait until the guy tries to turn grocery stores into state run stores and raise the minimum wage to $30 while defunding police. We seen when the leftist captured the Nevada legislature, it was a disaster.

How many Dietrich's have the Tigers had on their roster over the years? None... Detroit Tigers all-time roster - Wikipedia This is a heck of a long road he's been on...and all that time he was just on his journey...home. Dietrich Enns Amateur, College, Minor, Winter, Independent, Japanese & Korean Leagues Statistics | Baseball-Reference.com It turns out he was the last winner of the Knights cross of the Iron Cross with oak leaves and diamonds and refused to be evacuated from East Prussia and spent time after capture in the infamous Lubyanka Prison in Moscow. I wonder if MLB will allow him to pitch with the monocle. Dietrich von Saucken - Wikipedia

The RW media machine might just turn Mamdani's spouse into an issue nationally and if he wins it will result in Trump inviting Mossad to assassinate Mamdani or he'll drop GBU-57s on the Mayoral residence.

I share Google AIs reply with ChatGPT. The reply Google’s AI Overview strikes again—gracefully face-planting into a pile of its own fabricated confidence. According to it, Casey Mize was drafted out of high school in 2018, which is a fascinating take if you’ve never heard of facts, college baseball, or basic research. Just to recap for our robot overlords: Mize came out of Auburn University, not Algebra II. The Tigers used the #1 overall pick—not their “first pick wherever it happened to land.” And no, they’ve never used the #1 overall pick on a high schooler, but thanks for playing. This isn’t just a minor error. This is what happens when a glorified autocomplete tries to cosplay as a baseball historian. It’s like someone asked a Magic 8-Ball for draft facts and then published the answer in bold. Honestly, it takes real effort to misunderstand something this simple while sounding so sure of yourself. Google’s AI didn’t just miss the mark—it confidently wandered into the wrong stadium and declared victory. But yeah, tell me again how AI is going to replace actual knowledge.

Just glad they had more patience with him than Paredes.

Odds of landing a big time player were probably always small. They became non-existent after what Orlando paid for Bain. The Pistons don't have the capital to make trades like that right now without giving up too many young guys.

Tonight, the Detroit Tigers became the first team in Major League HISTORY to win 50 games in 2025. Amazing.

What an absolute **** sandwich when your top three choices are Mamdani, Cuomo and Adams. The only thing worse would be if Giuliani decided to come back and run.

11-4 good buddies 😉

The A's outfielder got an error on a good throw that the catcher missed. Not fair...

Joey Cora foresaw it.

Nah, let ‘em keep running.

Perez and Heather Nabozny. Champs of mowing at Comerica

which one? haha

I don’t think you have to worry about the trio of vets coming back. Ivey’s return would eat a bunch of those minutes.

OK Skubal, we're not bailing your ass out a third time.

I am a believer. Dingler too!

Dillon Dongler!

This is not my beautiful house. This is not my beautiful wife. Oh my God what have I done?

If you don’t get the cookie, you can’t dunk it in the milk

Sounds like the stuff you say after you've already called the teams who have players you want and realized they aren't for sale or cost too much. Hopefully they at least do some work around the edges and pursue someone like NAW. I really don't want to see all three of those vets come back (THJ, Beasley, Schroeder).

All trades for KD are bad trades. If I'm a GM I'm targeting Houston picks 3-6 years from now. Recent history in Brooklyn and Phoenix tells us those will be valuable. Green was a disaster in the playoffs. Almost unplayable, and didn't get off the bench down the stretch in multiple games. He can score but does absolutely none of the small things needed to win games. He will eventually find his way to Charlotte, New Orleans, Washington, or some other perpetual losing team. He will score a ton of points, make a ton of money, and lose a ton of games. The Thunder and Pacer rosters are loaded with guys I would take before Green, and I'm not talking about their stars. I mean Caruso, Dort, McConnell, Nembhard, and Nesmith.

Or, she's just crushed a meat-lovers pan pizza from Pizza Hut and a 6 pack of malt liquor.

One big difference between Jason and Mario. Jason knows the rules, really knows the rules, studies them and recites them when something weird comes up. Mario had empty air when the truck showed a replay of a balk.

16 years. Insane.
