Me and @sagnamgot dapped up by Loren Strickland postgame. As an aside, sagnam is a wonderful gentleman and I would bring Detroit to Cincinnati with him anytime

Marty Mornhinweg was ahead of his time.

Just wait until the Durham report comes out.

This is the last I've seen: “I haven’t got an update, but he’s not prepared to play at all for a little bit. I’d be misleading you and everybody else,” coach Todd McLellan said. “If I said it’s two weeks or three weeks, I don’t know. But he’s not ready to play yet.” They have been very ambiguous about it so far honestly. Wings officially sent Holl to Grand Rapids, looks like JVR is on "leave" right now (just had twins with one or both in NICU) so the three rookies made the team!

I think both of you need to take a small step back here. Nothing wrong with spirited debate but we're very, very close to crossing the line into insults here.

I think they will, yes. But despite the loss to Denver yesterday I still consider a Philly #1, as their 4 wins - while by narrow margins - have been against the Cowboys, Bucs, Rams and Chiefs. That’s more impressive than Bears, Ravens, Browns and Bengals.

A driver is heading east at 35 mph..a second driver is heading west at 50 mph. Both are listening to Madison on Sirius/XM. How long will it take each driver to slam into a bridge abutment to end their misery?

Nicely answered. I'm not sure how we can go back in time and draft Wyatt Langford with so clear a 20-20 hindsight crystal ball at our disposal ... I think Harris might have been looking at the disaster that Avila left behind and figured, reasonably so, that we would not have had the horses in house to support Skubal during his remaining 3-1/2 years (at the time) with the team; that we could not have bought our way to immediate contention with either money or the prospect capital we had at hand; and that by the time we could have built up to a level of contender that a front-liner like Skubal could headline, he would be choosing from among multiple offers from Big Six teams. So, in a way, our contending way ahead of schedule kind of ****ed up that part of the plan. Who knew when Scott Harris came aboard that we were going to win well into October the very next year with guys like Javy and McKinstry and Wenceel and Carpenter and Parker Meadows and a bunch of waiver wire and one-year guys leading the way—and hell, with even Tork? No one in August, 2023 could have foreseen that. So it made sense that we were planning on building more slowly than that, and would probably have to start fielding the winning Tiger teams with Skubal already having a foot out the door. I think that would have been a fact of life most of us would have accepted up to and including July of 2024. But then, out of nowhere, we start winning and surprise the whole baseball world last year—so why not throw all the chips onto the table and go for broke, 2025 or bust? That's what Dombrowski would have done, right? Damn right that's what he would have done. And that's fine if all anyone cares about is 2025, and that the following year is for 2026 us to worry about. But that's not how Harris, and now Baby Doc Ilitch, see things. They know stuff fans generally don't, such as, there was no chance on god's green earth Shohei Ohtani and Juan Soto were ever going to come to Detroit. Heck, you even said yourself that we tried our damnedest to get Bregman, who's clearly a cut below Ohtani/Soto, fielding the best offer by far, and he still wouldn't come to Detroit. Now multiple that by every top-tier free agent of the last ten years. And we don't know what what kind of trades Harris has been turning down that past two years, but I would bet money they looked a lot like the trades Al Avila was falling for and became the laughingstock of baseball over. So, I guess in the end, the answer would have been for Harris to thread the needle perfectly and get the deadline exactly right, such as trading for O'Hearn but passing on Suarez; or somehow getting the Twins to send us Duran while we pass on pundit favorite Helsley. As it was, Harris scored huge with Finnegan, but all anyone will be talking about is how he failed tonight. In the final analysis, no matter what he does, Harris sucks. That's the nature of his job, I guess. As for what I think about it, all I know is this: Scott Harris has gotten us to back-to-back LDSes well ahead of schedule. And I'm going to trust that he's going to continue to move us forward, until he proves to me that he isn't. And when that happens, I'll get big mad at him, just like everyone else is doing now. But until then, I'm going to look at 2024 and 2025 as a bonus and not a birthright, and I look forward to seeing what's in store for us in 2026. And I will go out on a limb and bet that Harris surprises us by demonstrating that we are not just another Tampa Bay Rays after all.

Why are Mariners fans crying and hugging their girlfriends when going up by a run? Save the crying for when the Tigers take the lead in the top of the ninth! Who’s with me?

And for the Jews, his nephew Moises.

I don't know what you're speaking of. I love this lineup. Always believed!!! I'll answer back later on this one though.

Awesome time! 10/10 would go again!

Arnold was actually good in this game against one of the best receivers in the league. The Lions defense has been better with him in the field than off.

I find it hard to believe that all of these people in very high positions are being hoodwinked for some unknown purpose by Fisher. It could be my intense desire for the Tigers to come here. Substantial progress? Maybe? https://www.mlb.com/athletics/las-vegas-ballpark/construction-cam

Best host on Sirius hands down. Rachel Steele has that super sultry voice which is so enticing. She could mesmerize the male species reading the dictionary.

Honestly very shocked, two year extension at $12.5 million per

And it was never about glorifying Ben Johnson. It was about questioning the unknown. Wondering if the transition from offensive assistant to offensive coordinator was going to work for Morton. That’s not a dig on him either, lots of people are good at one job and not at the next level. Nothing wrong with that at all. They are different jobs with different responsibilities. Take Schwartz for a Lions related example. Even if he never takes another head coaching job he is a terrific defensive coordinator. Was before the Lions and still is after. He was just an ok head coach. Had some pretty serious flaws but also had strengths.

Pride of Detroit had an article that shows how much Arnold being in the lineup. They are the best defense in the league with him on the field and one of the worst with him off. He needs to know he's being watched by officials and hopefully clean that up, but he makes a huge positive impact . " Lions’ Week 5 defense with Terrion Arnold on the field (ranks are among 26 teams in Week 5 action so far): 44 plays 3 points allowed 4.1 yards per play (1st) 34.1% offensive success rate (1st) +0.34 EPA/play (1st) 3.9 yards/pass attempt (1st) 28.9 passer rating (1st) 2.3% explosive play rate (1st) 10.0% interception rate (2nd) Lions’ Week 5 defense without Terrion Arnold on the field: 14 plays 24 points allowed 10.1 yards per play (26th) 57.1% offensive success rate (24th) -0.80 EPA/play (26th) 13.3 yards/pass attempt (26th) 158.3 passer rating (26th) 21.4% explosive play rate (26th) 0.0% interception rate (t-9th)" "He’s now surrendered only 50 receiving yards combined over the past two games."

I've already made reference to that. Keep up little one

Just watched a video where Geddy and Alex announced, rather emotionally, that they will tour in 2026. Annika Nilles will play drums. She toured with Jeff Beck and is awesome. Geddy also said they may bring along a keyboard player so he can focus on bass. This is…. Awesome.

#bidenwasnotontheflightlogs. Also, many on the left, I certainly said so here, wanted Biden to release the Epstein Files and use the Epstein case politically against Trump to showcase what a creep he is. The candidate I voted for was not on Epstein's flight logs, nor was she his best friend. The candidate you voted for was good friends with a child pedophile and flew on his jet multiple times over the years.

The Tigers hitting approach at the plate looks like a bunch of drunk 10 year olds playing Wiffle ball in the dark under a full moon.

Driving home last night I was listening to the Lithium station (1990s alt rock) on Sirius XM and after Alice in Chain’s Don’t Follow and Pearl Jam’s Corduroy were played I felt like hearing them again. So I pulled them both up on Spotify and listened to those two songs a couple times more. I know Eddie Vedder is a big Cubs fan and is from Illinois but I consider AIC and Pearl Jam to be Seattle bands. So it was like Detroit came to town and took the victory in the opening game and now we are taking your songs too, lol.

This team sure does know how to waste good Skubal starts

They are very creative. Chanting everyone's first name.

Only shades of grey.

Damn, Polanco looking like the best hitter in the game tonight.

Bunch of daydream believers in here all of the sudden.

Advantage Tigers. Seattle has been burning their pen.

Err I mean these Tigers hitters SUCK!

Really tired of watching Tiger hitters take FBs for strikes

I don’t know why Skubal would want to re-sign with the Tigers when this is the offense they put around him. One hit in six innings. Pathetic.

The good news is that we are still one swing away from being all square. We got this.

Watching the tigers try to score is like watching a 6th grade girl's basketball team try to make a basket.

Probably should've. Dumb AJ needs Pizza Boy to send him packing!

Would have had three sacks and a safety if he had lined up onside and if Terrion Arnold had been wearing someone else’s jersey.

Two weeks in a row where a play dropped a ball before crossing into the End Zone. So stupid. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. And it wound up keeping the game close and led to a loss. CELEBRATE WHEN THE PLAY IS ACTUALLY OVER, DUMMY !

MAGALolic and archief nowhere to be found shockingly Must be some pedos to support somewhere distracting them

Nice to see Skubal get out under 20 pitches there, I was getting nervous. I like getting through Raleigh and Rodriguez back to back.

“The violent left”

After reading the horrific story about a young, drunk lantino guy attacking a senior citizen workman, I assume Trump will send national guard troops in to address the violent crime situation.

Seems a bit ticky-tack there

It’s only the wrong call if you think your opponent can string together at 9 minute drive.

I think this is marginally the right call, but I dread the day he makes this call and I have to listen to reactions here. If I thought the knee jerk reactions to either receiving or deferring were bad…..
