Look at the setting for this show. Oh my.

Oh my gosh, look at that setting !

That's just him in the zone. Like a starting pitcher on game days. I've met him 3 times and he actually remembered me once at Bonnaroo (not my name but he said "Hey - Ann Arbor, right?") He's actually quite friendly -at least he has been since the late 90's - he was a bit of a jackass in his earlier years, I think it was a schtick as much as anything. A few people set him straight on that. He was trying to be a "punk". The stage is his domain. Plus, he probably couldn't see you very well from the bad eyesight and all the lights pointed at him. So the glare might have just been him squinting.

I think Kerry's juicing.

Was the sketchy friend this guy ?

Wow, a ump threw a guy out for tapping his helmet? If you can't even take that gesture, you have no business umping in the Majors. What a baby.

Hao-Yu Lee has quietly had a pretty incredible May. .326 BA, .421 OBP and .910 OPS. We don't have a spot for him here, but if something opened up with an injury to an infielder, Goodbye Kreidler, give this guy a shot.

No longer a small sample size In their last 162 games 95-67 Since August 11, 2024 69-34, which is a .670 clip, which would be 108-54 over a full season. This is VERY similar to the 2021 Giants, who won 107 games. Nobody's stats on the team really blew you away. But like our team this year, their starting pitching was solid 1-5 and they didn't even have a Skubal. And the Giants still only won their division by one game. The Giants fell off sharply the next year to 81-81, but I feel like our team is better suited to last (as long as they stay relatively healthy).

That's just gonna make this so much more exciting when the Tigers plate 3 runs in the 9th.

As a player, Mark Canha is about as exciting as milk.

As I said yesterday, I don't think he's ever gonna pitch for the Tigers.

Hey look. Dan Dickerson's back. Maybe it was just some sort of family obligation last night. Remember what happened to him in KC a few years ago. Went jogging in the morning and blew out both knees. That was what, 2009?

Is it true that there's an alternate ending to Field Of Dreams where Ray Kinsella is arrested and charged with Murder in the disappearance of writer Terrance Mann who's body was found buried in his corn field and that Kinsella was found Not Guilty By Reason Of Insanity for talking to the ghosts of former baseball players?

We'll take Lance McCullers. I would hope Tiger fans wouldn't be throwing death threats at him. I don't think "Freedom of Speech" should cover this crap. This is sad and scary. It's not a joke. The dude has a family. Maybe some Tiger fan that bet more than they could afford would do this and this may just become the norm. Celebrities used to brush off death threats until Rebecca Schafer got murdered at her front door. I wasn't happy with Kenta's pitching, but I wish him nothing but the best as a person. I don't hate him as a human. Seemed like a good guy. Just washed up as a pitcher. I can't stand Tim Anderson and Chris Sale, but I would never wish death or harm to either of them.

I feel like Olson will be back before too long.

Too bad Matt Manning fell off the face of the earth. He threw a combined no-hitter less than two years ago and didn't he have another reasonable bid for a no-no that season? What the hell happened? Had a brilliant Spring in 2024, but the team chose Olson and he has evaporated ever since. With Jobe going down and Cobb not materializing (I doubt he ever pitches for the Tigers), the team is suddenly very thin in starter depth. Don't know that I would trust Enns. Jaden Hamm isn't close. I would think that if the Tigers do make a trade that it might be for a starting pitcher down the line. Pay attention to the sucky teams' 2nd and 3rd starters that might be in the last year of their deal. I guess it's back to Pitching Chaos again, just to a lesser degree. If Manning could only get his crap together and show something.

Don't you think they need more build-up time to make SGL a starter? What do the Cubbies want for Kenta? (Ducking........)

The Jobe situation. It's gonna be TJ and we all know it. Why waste two months - just get it done already and maybe he's right by 2027. Doesn't it feel like all MLB pitchers should just go ahead and get TJ surgery after signing their first contract after their draft. It's so common now. And bringing up Nolan Ryan as any example is like a doctor using Joey Chestnut as a template on health. Dude was a freak. The other guys that threw tons of innings were not constantly in the mid to high 90's like now. Did Mickey Lolich throw in the 90's at all?

Well, maybe the gambling on a game isn't a deal-breaker anymore. Maybe the underage girl thing too. Just as long as JV plays the victim enough. #peterosestillaintgettingin

I still have the second model, the green one that has "passing". I have not tried to play it in a long time. The rock band Supertramp had one because they used it in "The Logical Song"

Squirrely Dan That's the best answers I could come up with.

Really? It's just May 28th. You need one of them stress balls (and maybe some Xanax). What are you going to be like in late October when their playing Game 7 against the Phillies?

The Tigers are the first team in Major League history to win 37 games in 2025.

Hey, you guys..........I think the Tigers might be pretty good this year.
