Down 3-1...blah

Trading for Carlos Correa will not be necessary. Sending his agent a gigantic check and giving up our draft pick will be.

Is this your duress signal? Tell us where to send the swat team!

How about this lineup: Akil Baddoo LF/DH/CF Robbie Grossman RF/LF Jonathan Schoop 2B/1B Carlos Correa SS Miguel Cabrera DH/1B Jeimer Candelario 3B/1B/DH Spencer Torkelson 1B/DH/3B Eric Haase C/LF/DH Riley Greene CF/LF/RF Reserves: Derek Hill CF H. Castro PH/DH/2B Dustin Garneau C - until Jake Rogers returns some combination of the gristle left over from the mess of W Castro/Niko Goodrum/Vic Reyes/Isaac Parades/Zack Short

Rubio was still my hope for the future probably as late as 2018. That stings more than anything. Romney has elevated. he's still too much of a cross between Clark Griswold and a Mckinsey consultant to be a normal politician (paraphrase but essentially saying "I appreciate visiting Michigan where you root for the local sports teams") Liz Cheney, appears ready to get into a straight razor alley fight against the Trumpies which will leave everyone bloody. If she wanted to be the GOP nominee for 2024, I'd vote for her just on the "Private Joker is silly and he's ignorant but he's got guts and guts is enough" basis.

I too would like to bitch about my alma mater.

I think Vietnam is the one I'd have my eye on. I think if this was college recruiting you'd be looking for crystal balls from [insert name of famous foreign correspondent] for Vietnam to the Western Pacific Alliance.

You know I love me some collective security. It used to be a staple of GOP policy until Trump and Putin.

This is a pretty big deal

Got to free Sundays up for living life rather than watch events with pre-planned outcomes.

Glad to have not partaken in the misery.

Niko failed biggly.

Is another Detroit team being shutout somewhere else?

caught looking. Ugh

Come on Schoop.

Miggy can taste the 3000. He'd need an incredible final week though.

I found it interesting when Niko -- being upset with himself for getting thrown out to the point where he demonstrably slammed something (a baby, possibly) to the ground in the dugout. That might be career pressure, actual internalized pressure, or the crowd getting to the team. When we start to play in front of larger home crowds its going to be interesting to see if we tighten up. It reminded me of how Boston guys would play to the crowd to show they were upset and really trying hard and have moxie, etc.

No miracle finish.

this game has miracle finish written all over it. Perhaps the deity will stop a nuclear bomb from going off.

Hernandez always ends the sequence coming far inside.

Concur, and its continued. Off-ice fashion in hockey is a lot like Goodfellas or the East London gangster in a Guy Ritchie movie. Shark skin suits and looking impressive but also intimidating.

Whenever I see players from that era with their perfect crew cuts and flat tops. I think, how many of these guys were card-carrying commies under deep cover? I wonder if Harry Chiti had a secret map embedded in the filing of his tooth of the hydroelectric dam he was supposed to demo in the event of war.

The smart GOPers who didn't go nevertrump know they are hitched to a losing effort going forward. They know that they took the cotton candy of appealing to the dumb and angry. Money from the Mercers and others helps ease the pain.

I'm all for that
