When you start a war to distract from the Epstein files, but the war is such a disaster that you pivot back to the Epstein files to distract from the war.

For a bit of optimism, the 1935 Tigers went 3-9 in their first 12 games and went on to win the World Series.

I'm part Hungarian-American, so I've taken a fairly big interest in this race. My Nana was a Nagy and 100% Hungarian with some of her siblings born over there in Budapest. I hope Peter Magyar and Tisza destroys Orban and his Fidez fascists. More than that, I hope Magyar is truly a good person and lives up to the promise of a better, freer Hungary and reverses the backslide of democracy in the country.

When their lips are moving, it usually means they are lying. I would suspect that we will find out that her relationship with Epstein is far more than just a casual email correspondence with someone that her husband was best friends with. She was dating Trump in the same time frame that he was still friends with Epstein in the early 2000s. So it is plausible that she knew him well enough.

100% agree. Stewart was once suspended for punching Drew Eubanks in the tunnel before the game. I wouldn't let him get on the plane.

it is frustrating. however, I would suggest that we are in a post-truth world. if facts were important to voters, we would not have a lunatic charlatan as POTUS. MAGA has loudly declared facts to be irrelevant. and "independents" - if there really are such people - seem to not care that much either. I am not sure the Dems should burden themselves with facts and logic if that is not what people want.

No Rubio passed a law a few years ago requiring 2/3's in both Houses for just exactly this. They expected Trump to pull this horse****. Still... It is STILL Horse****!!!

Yeah, no more local TV for the first two rounds. Games will be on ABC, ESPN, NBC, Peacock, and Amazon. I think Amazon is just for the first two rounds. I'm looking forward to a time when each quarter of a game is on a different app.

I knew you were going to say that! 😀 That's what they are though and we knew that coming in. The homers will come with the weather warms and the run totals will increase. I am not worried about the offense any more than I was at the beginning of the season. The pitching was supposed to be top 5 in the league and it's been terrible. We knew the fielding wouldn't be great, but I think it's been worse than expectred.

Why is everybody blaming the offense? They are not hitting home runs, but they are 8th in MLB in OBP and 10th in wRC+ The home runs will come when the weather warms up. The real culprit is run prevention: They are 20th in xFIP 21st in fielding This team is built on run prevention. That is where they need to excel. It's been terrible so far.

https://prashanthiyer.substack.com/p/what-the-hell-happened-to-the-detroit Worth a read. One passage stood out to me: “At the team-level, this is a team that simply could not disrupt the opposition’s cycle, allowing a league-high 560 cycle chances against at 5v5 this year. They allowed the 7th most 5v5 high-danger chances against while generating the 3rd fewest.”

UGH. There isn't a word vile enough to describe how much I detest this, this.... whatever he is.

Occupy Democrats is as close as we can probably come to finding any leftist social media organization with the kind of scale that even comes close to match any number of right wing social media bomb-throwers, but despite the presence of "Democrats" in the title, they have exactly zero influence on the Democratic Party platform. Any agreement between Occupy Democrats and the Democratic Party is incidental, not direct. As far as I can tell, they don't talk.

There is a contingent of Obama/Trump voters. I think Bernie played into their thinking.

If I'm JB, I'm resting Cade, Duren, and Stew this game. It's not worth risking suspensions or injuries against a team full of criminals that really has nothing to lose and would be happy to hit you a lit harder or goad you a little further in order to weaken a potential first round opponent.

They need a 1 tech DT, I hope they bring back Reader. Then if Levi is actually healthy again that would give them a nice rotation and depth. Right now if either Alim or Tyleik go down they only have Levi, who cannot be counted on. I wouldn't be surprised if they add a day three big body as well.

Bernie Sanders for the past 10 years has said elections he lost by 3.7 and 10 million votes were rigged. It’s where Trump picked up the rigged election denialism.

Given that democracy absolutely depends on facts and logic, I wouldn't agree that "Democrats should be just as hostile to the concept of democracy as Republicans are" is the answer.

I want the Knicks in the #4 spot and I want REVENGE!!!

Faulk was back the other night, and scored a majestic goal splitting the defenders and finishing a breakaway. Edvinsson had a brilliant move to set up a goal last week. ASP can drive offensive play. Seider is offensively skilled. Even Johansson has flashed some offensive flair. If you don’t have the forwards to drive offense at 5v5, you need to allow your defense to drive offense, and you need a system that has your defensively responsible but offensively limited forwards to cover for them.

In Jack I trust...(for innings 1, 3, and the first half of 4)!

I would think his BABIP would increase if his LD% increases. I like that his plate discipline seems to have improved. I don't know if going up the middle is a part of an overall approach. Maybe its just a too early and small sample size. I wonder if Greene has peaked. I wouldn't extend him beyond current club control.

A lot can happen in 72 hours, but … 🤞🏼

remember when the oragne pedo turd said we are more respected than ever?

The latter wish is eternal. God, stop testing us and stop sending us the worst people to be leaders.

Nice going, Putin, JD Vance and everyone else involved

Of course they are. Soon the Trump Crime Family will have their own fleet BTW, the picture of Melania reminds me of Natasha from the old Rocky and Bullwinkle series...

How long of a leash does Jones have before we have to swap him out for Wenceel?

Tork deserved to be hit after missing that center cut fastball on a 2-0

J. Jones—you have one job. Hit lefties. Bring up Clark or Perez and end this

I feel for him. I'm sure he loved playing with Detroit and he was a good player and a good Lion. It is hard to see guys like him go, but it is the mark of a good team that they let good players go.

doesn't know the K zone and can't barrel the ball. Any other issues?

Didn't somebody lose their podcast gig for saying something like that? 😉

the last time michigan won a basketball national championship the pistons won the nba title...

I turned on the game late after watching the first episode. I'm about to go watch the second, screw this nonsense.

I like the Tigers 2026 slogan "The 2026 Detroit Tigers............Wait, what? We've got a game today?. Okay, sure".

It is the curse of Chris Illitch. Teams he owns have players that become zombiefied and exist in a state that is no longer alive, but not dead.

In a classic case of jokes writing themselves, Woo-Suk Go was demoted to Erie after putting up a 20+ ERA to date in Toledo.

I hope they lose by 50 tonight. Then I can bang my head on the wall when someone says they should start Jenkins and bring Cade off the bench in the playoffs.

Use auto-tune?

At least we got Damion Easley. 😉

Kind of what I expected. Play tonight, probably take Charlotte off on Friday and get one more on Sunday against Indiana.

Kudos for the return of the MiLB reports!

Everything is so ****ed up even the stock market doesn't know what to do.

That guy made one of the greatest plays I have ever watched. I was sitting along the 3rd base line down around 3rd. The batter hit a ball right in front of the plate and it bounced so high it looked like a pop-up. Right down the line toward 3rd. I watched Aurelio. He turned his back to the plate looking over his right shoulder, the ball landed right beside him, which he short-hopped, turned and fired a bullet to 1st base. Out. One of the most incredible plays I have ever seen. It gets even better. We were heading home going back to Ohio and sitting at a streetlight somewhere by the park. Hot, windows down. He pulls up right beside us. I'm the passenger. I look over there and tell my buddy - hey, look - that's Aurelio. Yep, sure was. I yelled - hey, great play on that high hopper - never seen anything like that. Thanks, glad you guys had a good time. Light changed, he was off. Off the charts cool.

I don't miss that roster, but I do miss that D on the home jersey.
