Because of a flight delayed on my way home from Europe, I had to unexpectedly spend last night in Minneapolis and am at the airport now. I spat on two of the hoodies and clipped my fingernails into one of the mugs. It is a playoff race and we all have to do our part.

Am still in Spain, still enjoying it, you’re right about the weather being ideal. I might have the Tigers game on for the first few innings in my hotel room but will be fast asleep for the Lions. I’m doing the Camino de Santiago - Frances route on foot, starting in St Jean Pied de Port just inside France a week ago today, up and over the Pyrenees, and now making my way across the top of Spain. Around 425k completed 8 days in, around 350k to go, done next weekend at some point if all goes well.

I’m on vacation in Spain and must say it’s confusing following the Tigers. MLB lists games by when they were played Spain time, so when I woke up this morning they had Thursday’s game a loss but showed Friday’s game a dramatic comeback 4-3 victory. Here is what they show as the upcoming schedule.

But was Profar really “looking up” or rather burying his head in the wall, lol.

Jays thumping Twins 11-0. I won’t actually cheer for the Jays, but since Tigers need Twins to lose I approve of this thumping

Am listening from the south of France. Nice to hear Bless You Boys on stadium p.a. in background of radio post-game.

Wow, just waking up tho this news. Drunk driver and in a hurry - either of which is any cyclist’s worst nightmare. And the day before a family wedding?!?! This is horrible.

It’s time for whoever asked for and received a Tork bomb last night to do so again. Bases loaded, Tigers down 3, reliever coming in to face Torkelson

If Raymond’s demands are outrageous to the Wings I assume they’d be outrageous to any trading partner as well. No reason to think Raymond would require a premium from the Wings or the Wings are undervaluing him compared to how the market would.

Yeah, they are still far enough back that they can’t really make it without the Twins’ help. If the Twins go 15-14 the rest of the way, the Tigers would need go 19-9 and they aren’t going to do that. But a team can have a bad month. If the Twins go 13-16, then 17-11 to tie is still tough but getting within the plausible range. At least the Tigers don’t need to leapfrog 4 teams any more.

Growing up rain delays meant WDIV would show the 1968 World Series highlights film. Sometimes the rain would stop too early so they'd cut the film off during the Game 5 part and switch back to live action. That was always a downer.

Game time of 2:17 was shorter than the rain delay of 2:45.

Atlanta's 4-run 10th inning in Minnesota gives a boost to the Tigers' playoff hopes. If these results hold, the Tigers will be 5 1/2 games back.

I still remember clear as day his first no-hitter, in 2007. Which was, like, 5 or 10 years ago.

I did the opposite when in Montreal last week. Would check my app at 5pm expecting a 5th inning score and be puzzled why the game hadn't started yet.

Wert's single drove in Kaline for the win that is considered the Tigers' pennant clincher in 1968 (in reality, the Tigers had officially clinched an hour earlier when Baltimore lost)

They are indeed tied 1-1 after 7 but, damn, are still playing baseball instead of switching to math.

Tigers can get to .500 tomorrow. If the Tigers finish 21-10 and the Royals finish 14-18, will be tied for final wildcard spot unless Boston or Tampa goes on a run. Believe?

It's totally doable for the Sox to finish 8-24 of worse. C'mon, White Sox, we believe you can do it.

And now an RBI triple.

LLWS championship game about to start. Jiayo, Taiwan, jiayo. If it’s tied after 7 innings, I think the tiebreaker should be a math quiz.

The White Sox need to go 12-20 to match the Tigers' lousy 2003 of 43-119. So does that mean going 10-22 would give the White Sox the worst record of all time? If so, even more incentive to beat the White Sux today.
