Wow, the Tigers managed to score a run against the greatest guy to ever pitch a baseball? Amazing !!!

Hey, there's an actual pirate in the front row. Sitting next to Jim Leyland.

He's a solid player. The ability to play all 3 OF positions and third base (probably first base too, if they needed). Give me a guy who has an OPS over .700 with a good glove - I'll take that. By the way - Gregory Soto - ERA of 5.87 and a WHIP of almost 2. Kody Clemens after that good first week is .617 now.

Run our buddy Angel out of the game, will ya? Well, we're ALL gonna be Angel Hernandez now. "over the plate"? Outdated concept.

working from home due to a very painful back injury. Here in Dearborn we just had a very loud, but solitary clap of thunder.

Seems like McCutchen is 50 years old to me.

None of those folks walking around realize he's their 2nd-game pitcher. Made me think of what happened to Chace Numata.

Okay. How about this. Tarik Skubal starts. Pitches 2 innings and then it rains, we get a 90 minute delay and then his day is done. That's why they call these games early now - because they don't want to waste a start from the pitchers.

Why. Baddoo is hitting 1.000 with an OPS of 4.000. That is LEGENDARY ! In all seriousness, his OBP at Toledo this year is .360. Isn't that what they need?

Pete Rose bet on his own team as a manager and has never shown an ounce of remorse. He's the very definition of "degenerate gambler". I don't feel sorry for him. He chose to piss it all away. He thought he was so big they wouldn't do it. They did. And they should have.

Leafs need to hire Shoresy.

Another thing is that stats were not as consistently kept. Mainstream newspapers didn't cover the games. The games were not generally all covered on the radio. Black newspapers were shut down long ago and their archives were not protected. Plus, teams would often "borrow" players from other teams. If there was a team that was struggling, one of the power teams would lend a star player for a few games in the hopes it would draw more fans because it was in the league's best interest to keep teams going, even competetors. Schedules were fairly inconsistent as some teams lacked the resources to travel. Even in the later years , like 1945 Cleveland played 81 games, KC played 96 games, Birmingham 82, Chicago 101, Cincinnati-Indy 97, Memphis 88. It's very hard to compare leagues. I'm glad for the acknowledgement, but we can't go back and find that info. All those moments are lost in time like......tears in rain.

Hey.......... C.B.................why don't you go get paid too. A league with no more Hernandez, Bucknor or West. Let us dream.

Why did they cut that out? It explains so much about Del. Bad decision. It's 90 seconds of screen time.

I just don't understand why he's seemingly untouchable.

I'd rather listen to Gibby struggling with his energy than Craig Monroe, But I do think Craig Monroe could be pretty good if he stopped trying to force it so much.

I didn't know Riley had such a weak arm. What does he have right now?

OLSON GOT A WIN OLSON GOT A WIN OLSON GOT A WIN OLSON GOT A WIN

I don't know about this. Have they used Holton in a save situation this year? Since he doesn't have a save, the only answer to that would be No unless they did and he failed. I have a bad feeling here.

So, is he expecting a 2-inning save from Foley or is he actually gonna put Chafin or Englert in for the 9th?

Did Javy not run that out?

Front Lawn - Before And After (19 Days) (Usually my routine in the fall is to go out and rake leaves when the Lions started to get lousy and piss me off. But they were good last year, so I didnt have an excuse to rake my leaves. It did damage. Grass Before (May 6)).mp4 Grass After (May 25).mp4

You know that Kirk Gibson has Parkinson's, right? The medication he takes for that has horrendous side effects. Most people on "Parky" meds wouldn't even want to get out of bed because it's so incredibly draining (which is why he only does some games and not all games anymore). Kirk is a pilot - he can no longer fly a plane because of that. I doubt he can even drive a car anymore. He's not "boring" now, he's just drained (without the meds he'd be in constant pain and would have even more limitations in abilities). Faced with what he's going through - EVERY SINGLE WAKING MOMENT in his life right now, I'm gonna cut him some slack. This might be the only thing he has to really look forward to doing and he can only do it a little bit. Have a heart.

Seem to be a matter of hard luck for Chafin instead of bad pitching.

Now.....maybe the monkey is off his back a bit and he can relax a bit. He's been hitting the ball hard for a few weeks now. He seems to be the only guy in the lineup that has been improving. Perez has been pretty solid, but not improving.
