Crazy Cat Gentleman

also crazy: what's with the dude in the blazer and shorts?

I'm shocked. SHOCKED! well, not that shocked.

I suppose Miggy's ability to work a walk and a pitcher who can't find the strike zone would be a reason to not IBB Haase.

not sure why they're even pitching to Haase. I'd just send him down to first to get to Cabrera.

don't tease me like this, Tigers.

hey, a run.

WILLI! awesome DP!

WOOP WOOP!

Victor! Way to capitalize on the walks.

I'm sorry, "another"??

I talk to my cat constantly, but he probably hasn't been able to hear me in 6 months to a year. not the same as calling a dog, though, obviously—I sure don't expect a response.

yup. apparently I edited it out, but I had written that even if work on that started now, it probably wouldn't be ready in my lifetime.

I've only taken one US train trip, Amtrak from Portland to Seattle and back. apparently something was done a few years back to reduce the contention between Amtrak and Union Pacific, the freight line in these parts. so it's about a 3.5-hr trip, potentially the same as driving but without the hot mess of I-5 in Seattle. I'd do it again. but to the point about needing high-speed rail, man, no kidding. not only does Amtrak take forever to get anywhere far away at max 75 mph, but if you want to lie down in a bed, you're forking over a ton of money. another thing that seems like it would be annoying but which would probably straighten itself out if rail travel ever actually became popular is that rental-car businesses don't have locations near most Amtrak stations (even in larger cities), so once you get to your destination, you still need a Lyft or whatever to the rental place.

oh, come on already. let's just fast-forward to when the Tigers are out on 4 pitches in the top of the 9th.
