Tigers win!

Getting tighter.

A Yaz boo boo gives the Tigers the lead.

Winner!

Tage Thompson gives the U.S. their first world championships gold in 92 years.

Minnesota has lost to KC. Tigers' division lead is back up to 4, over both Cleveland and Minnesota. KC is 5 back of the Tigers.

And despite the wobbly weekend, the division lead is back up to 3.5, the Tigers have the 2nd best record in MLB just 1 game back of Philly, and at 34-20 they hit the 1/3 mark of the season on 102-60 pace.

Tigers win! 103 mph for his 13th K. Maybe Skubal’s best ever game!

2 down. Crowd rises to feet.

Throw in a province or two to make your spree truly epic and internationally exotic.

Skubal is coming back out.

Have the Tigers in their 125 year history ever won a game before 2pm ET?

9Ks and 72 pitches through 7, Skubal is nipping this losing streak in the bud.

Perfect game and no hitter gone, but at 59 pitches through 6 a complete game shutout is still in play for Skubal.

Agreed. Really doesn’t translate well.

A Skubal perfect game victory would take off some of the sting of the first 3 games of the series.

Game starts in 20 minutes. I didn’t realize the Tigers had a European game this season.

And how were the nachos this time?

I've seen about 25 Springsteen concerns over the past 40 years in various cities across Canada and the U.S. as well as in France. Have been to Asbury Park too. I'd suggest starting with the Born To Run album front to back. If you like that, I can give you a whole bunch of directions to jump into. If you don't like that, you'll at least be now familiar with what is considered by most (not all) to be his greatest album and four of his best-regarded songs (Born to Run, Thunder Road, Backstreets, Jungleland). As for politics, it doesn't make me think either more or less of him, I'm there for the music only, but I have found that at the concerts at which he makes a 1 minute rant against GWB in 2004 or now Trump in Europe 2025 it tends to bring the vibe in the arena down compared to when he doesn't.

The way the Panthers have dismantled the Canes in the first two games, the Leafs should conclude that they are not that far away after all and should make no changes at all. Just keep doing what they’ve been doing.

Are the teams even "gritty" this year? To me, that indicates a team that grinds out close wins, outperforming their talent. Not sure that's the case given the strong starting rotation, the tons of runs they're scoring, and the number of games they've won decisively. I'm not saying they're going to win 107 games, but I think 95 is a solid target right now.

Wild, Denmark scores two goals in final 3 minutes to knock out Canada 2-1 in the world quarterfinals. Good for hockey!
