This will trigger countless Tiger fans. It's almost like....trolling them?

I’m going to Superman and will probably miss a good part of the game. Good luck all! I don’t have many opportunities to go to films with my son because our schedules are so disparate so I’m not going to lose out on this chance.

I hope Avila takes some pride in that. He deserves it. Two things can be true at the same time. He did help build a foundation in terms of systems and people but someone else had to take it to the next level. No shame in that. Half of the experts on Tigers Twitter wanted Harris fired 11 months ago so F them too.

Going to the Mets/KC game this evening and doing radar watching. Storms mostly to the north of us now but may hit around game time according to radar. A lot of Mets fans here for the game, or at least several at the Negro Leagues Museum

Nothing worse for a bad relationship than having more time to spend together!

Or, Occam’s razor, he’s just a condescending asshole like he’s been his entire life.

one thing is for sure, there's no way i'm giving up two top ten prospects for a star player. can you imagine giving up miller AND maybin? no way.

I want to crap on the Bulls before Buddha can. Patrick Williams will make $18 million per year for the next 4 years. Herb Jones will make $19.4 million for the next 5 years.

I hope some intern doesn't lose their job when they realize they forgot to add the dunk contest to this graphic.

The Buss family should have done a one hour primetime special on ESPN announcing who they are selling the team to.

He should have probably been fired with Eberflus, or at least after the season. If you’re going to keep him though it’s hard to have him immediately on a hot seat with a new first-time head coach. But some teams will never learn, and I’m okay with it.

Honestly, I thought Poles was on the hot seat now. He had two years left. This should have been his prove it years.

yep, good point. We noticed a trend in our peers when the kids got to be in HS or later... a rash of divorces. My wife was freaking out. LIke it was contagious.

Who says we want you?

I’m glad none of our guys are going to ruin their swings by doing the hr derby too

To me that's the only alternative to their being nothing of substance. No in between. I have a hard time thinking the folks in Trumps world would care about this. That's kind of a compliment I guess. They're so far gone they don't care who gets hurt. The only other alternative I guess is that the Biden folks, and his DOJ, were so proper and above board that they didn't do it out of deference to the process itself. Which while admirable is incredibly naive in today's world.

Weird how both parties support elite corporate interests and yet elite corporate interests favor Republicans.

Right now, the Tigers have six all stars and the Dodgers have five, which means the Tigers have won the blank measuring contest.

I was just piggy backing off your thoughts for anybody else who gave up on series.

I’m a sucker for these clips of players calling their parents or wife after being called up to the majors or making an all-star game. Subsequent to this, Woo went out and no-hit the Yankees for 7 innings.

Saw a video of Duren working on his jumper facing the basket from the foul line out to 3. At least he knows what he needs to work on

I think the answer is that Democrats tried to run on normalcy and decency - that aligns with what most Democratic voters want, but it does not exactly energize the electorate. But Trump was able to reach just enough of the infrequent/disinterested voters to win. Some loved the racism, others loved the sexism, still others just liked that politics was interesting under Trump, unlike boring Biden. Trump said he would reduce egg prices. Biden/Harris tried to explain to competing market forces that worked against a more rigid elasticity in egg prices. I have totally come around on this issue that you must be 100% media literate - in all forms of media - to reach large portions of possible voters, and constantly bullsh|t everyone. Trump promised everything to every group on every platform he could find.

Since he's starting today I thought this was appropriate here. From The Athletic - "Opposing hitters have batting averages under .200 against him whether they’re left-handed, right-handed, playing at home or on the road. Opposing cleanup hitters have a .120/.151/.140 slash line against him. No. 3 hitters? They’re hitting .170, with a .185 OBP. The 5-6-7 hitters are at .191, .152 and .125, respectively." https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6487364/2025/07/11/mlb-awards-races-2025-midseason-judge-ohtani-skubal (paywall)

What the **** does that have to do with the national Democrats and their campaign apparatus refusing to talk about this? I get why someone like Bubba wouldn't talk about it because he's likely one of the perverts on the client list. Of course, we still need to have a pervert like Slick Willie out on the campaign trail.

i want a pitcher who is good enough to cost prospect capital, significant prospect capital actually, I want 2 pitchers who cost significant prospect capital

there's also a universe where we have two hall of fame starters in their prime and get swept by the giants. 😞

This is the worst TV show, evah.

Per Emily Waldon...Mize is being added to the All Star team!

It was very amusing that ESPN did something like 5,000 words recently on the Mets now being a 1st class org and how both NY teams were now dominant in their leagues, just in time for both to fall out of 1st place....🤣

Aaron Boone is not an idiot. If it’s anybody but Skubal he will be laughed out of the league. So much so the league might intervene and be like “dude… WTF? You are banned for life”

Pelicans must be out of cap space.

LOL, I may not be a man of the world like you, but I'm painfully aware of those things. Painfully aware. In fact, I think anyone who has attended public jr high and high schools becomes very aware of those things at an early age. I also know that Trump likes to appeal to his base, but I just don't believe he is calculating and nuanced about it as you claim.

His desire to be loved is interfering with his racism and cruelty. Miller will be pissed.

Lol

My memory of April 2008 was that I thought the Marlins had traded us two problem alcoholics for all our best prospects. When game 163 came around in 2009, Miggy was having some sort of problem prior to that game that he had to apologize for. So, while a great player...he was a tinderbox that maybe the Marlins thought he needed to be sent out of Miami. Dontrelle also was dealing with things and ultimately he could not return to his previous effectiveness.

Sadly, it's probably the threat of exposing Democrats as pedophiles too. And yes, that sucks. 😞
