If he plays and homers tonight it is possible that you will have the privilege of seeing his last ever MLB home run. Try to grab the baseball if he does, should be worth a pair of tickets to next year’s Angels-Tigers game,

Wear a ski mask if you want, but if you’re going to the game don’t put it on until you get to the parking lot. Last thing you want to be wearing when you stop at a gas station 7 miles from Ford Field to run in to grab a bag of chips and a Coke.

It does seem hard to believe that the Tigers, with 580, have scored fewer runs than any team in MLB except for Oakland. Despite the emergence of Tork, Carpenter and Greene. Even 21 runs fewer than KC! It didn't seem THAT bad, although maybe that's just because of my low expectations going in based on past years and because the pitching kept the Tigers in most games. Runs Allowed is 19th in MLB and Runs Differential is 25th, so are we lucky to even be 67-79? Doesn't feel like it, but ...

Daniella has to stretch her arms when interviewing Elmer.

Today is the 55th anniversary of McLain’s 30th victory. Some good color clips within this.

Tigers are 67-79 with 1/10 of the season left. If they split their final 16 games they would finish at 75-87. A season of 75 or 76 wins would feel about right. Have hovered close to around 10games under .500;

Tigers win! 8-2 final.

Grand slam for Vierling!

Foley came in with 2 on in the 8th and got an inning-ending double play. Batter’s name was quite the mouthful: Christian Encarnacion-Strand.

Meadows had been 0 for 28 before a 7th inning single, then comes home on a hit by Torkelson. 4-1 Tigers.

2-run homer for Baddoo, his 10th of the year, and it is 3-0 Tigers

When Olson is on, he’s really on. 6 Ks and no hits in 3 1/3 innings so far.

Here comes Buck Farmer!

C'mon, Babs, are we even in training camp yet? https://ca.yahoo.com/sports/news/report-nhlpa-investigating-mike-babcock-for-alleged-phone-incident-with-boone-jenner-165114666.html The NHLPA is reportedly investigating allegations levied against Columbus Blue Jackets head coach Mike Babcock that claim he violated a player's privacy, as first reported by The Athletic’s Aaron Portzline. Paul Bissonnette of Barstool’s Spittin’ Chiclets podcast stated that Blue Jackets captain Boone Jenner was summoned by Babcock for a meeting. Babcock allegedly asked to see the photos on Jenner’s phone, then used AirPlay to display Jenner’s photos on his office television.

Which New York team has had a more disastrous start to the season so far? Giants or Jets?

He even had multiple last names. To almost everyone he was Robin Yount. To George Kell he was Robin Yunt.

21-0 at the half. Michigan has only had 4 possessions, UNLV has had 5. UNLV hasn’t moved it past their own 44. McCarty has completed all passes except one, only drive that wasn’t a TD was a turn over on downs deep in UNLV territory.

Ahh, good point.

So looks like Tiger Stadium had blue seats before it had green seats before it had blue seats. And VIPs or today’s equivalent of suite holders in orange seats? I believe that is George Kell, #21, at the 15s mark. #14 is Hoot Evers. #6, pre-Kaline, is Pat Mullin.

And not one mentioning that Reese Olson had a no-hitter going for 6 1/3 innings.
