what kind of sadist is managing in Toledo? They let the reliever absorb 8 runs in the top of the 9th. Something tells me they aren't managing bullpens as well there as they are in Detroit.

He's a stooge. Why do people worry about him? Is it because Trump wants him as his running mate? He does appear to be strong. That's all he needs, right?

A lot of people really want to believe this

I want them on the 2023 playoff roster for the Detroit Tigers to defeat the AL East champion Rays or Orioles. If Baltimore can do that to us in 2014, we can do that to them.

My philosophy about what Scott Harris needs to do is take a page out of Ulysses S. Grant's book. Instead of retreating or regrouping he should keep going toward the objective.

If your children have any charcoal (from Christmas) you should gather that up to help you make powder.

Be sure to fill the bathtub with hydro immediately. Get the gold buried in the back yard. Barricade all entrances but allow yourself an auxiliary exit that none of your "neighbors" know about. Remove any outward signs that you may be at home or have food. You do not want to attract raiders.

wish we'd have gotten an extra run there in the 7th.

I would be super impressed when he extends them and then turns around and trades for a closer and a bat*. [a human who bats, not a chunk of ash wood in cylindrical form]

quick inning for our best hitters...BOO! Do better.

did Baez do a good thing? i was away from desk.

If wrong, I stand corrected.

wow

This is to keep Cam Maybin from saying something insane I suppose. Or, maybe its Dan Dickerson's secret to good HR calls.

I must be on audio delay

1-0 on Ibanez single .

well, two on now.....come on boys.

got to get to Grienke

I'll be interested to see what Grienke tops out at. 92 on his 4 seem fb thus far.

If this mess is going to escalate it would be because a NATO ship was attacked by the Russians

Good lord. Vladdie might be believing his own spin.

Riley Greene runs weird.

White signifier music

Some of my reaction to this I can't share. The cultural dna thing is real. The infection of global ideas is happening but in the same way that alt-gothy kids in the middle of Red State America listen to music that isn't from the culturally appropriate "young country" playlists assigned to them.

Weirdly -- for this conversation -- i worked briefly and boredly, in the USAF Acquisition and Modernization shop for ICBMs during the late 90s. This was a very painful time for me professionally. They basically hired me to write a policy paper to promote the ease in which a conventionally-armed Minuteman III could be fired off to destroy some tunnel in Iran or Iraq or whatever. I had to research Russian and US arms control agreements and the policy status of those agreements. A lot of focus on the trashed state of Russian ballistic missile warning satellites at the time. Basically, we could have launched anything we liked at the time and there was no other entity in the World that would be able to track it -- besides the US. There were much better ways to attack underground targets. Something falling at those speeds from space were actually not going to be effective for all sorts of physics reasons.
