Reporters: "Hey Skip, How is Justin Verlander coming along?" Hinch: "What's the temp at gametime today?" Reporters "47" Hinch "He's not ready"

My Pet Peeve right now is Microsoft - who have included in their most recent FORCED update something they call Efficiency Mode. It's designed to help save battery life in your laptop. I'm not on a ****ing laptop. I am on a PC and I don't need it and even if I WAS on a laptop, I wouldn't want this nonsense. It's a total resource hog and it slows Google Chrome to a crawl. You can only seem to disable it - one instance at a time, which is a total pain in the ass. NOBODY ASKED FOR THIS ! GIVE US AN OPTION TO KILL IT ! If I go through battery life on my laptop it's because I did not plan ahead.

8 year olds, Dude.

What the hell happened to Flaherty? Is he tipping his pitches?

Mr. McKitrick, after very careful consideration I've come to the conclusion that your #3 starter sucks.

No, a young Willie Horton. It's hard to think of him as young.

Forever young

THE...BUS...IS...HERE

It's rolling down the street. It's a block away

Wait, I can hear it coming down teh street. It's two blocks away now.............

That's just what he WANTS you to believe.

Remember Mickey Rivers? He was very fast, but when he walked he looked like an old man. Riley Greene does that too. When Riley walks he looks like an old man.

Kenley didn't throw that many pitchest last night.................I mean - he could come in today !

Tigers - don't look now, but Craig Kimbrel might be available. - Over The Hill - Was a great closer 10 years ago Sounds like a perfect fit ! LET'S MAKE THIS WORK

But the Tigers think they can get something out of these older guys - like Charlie Morton. And now - for the first time that I can remember in a VERY long time, the minors are not loaded with potential pitchers........well, not ones that could help them THIS year.

I didn't think they'd win a game in this series because the Braves are a very good team and the Tigers just aren't. We should be extremely thankful that our team is in the AL Central.

Stop bringing in over-the-hill "closers" please. Didn't work for Al Avila either. Congrats on getting into the top 3 of all time Kenley - now go away.

Drew Anderson will fill Mize's starting spot while Tyler Mattison comes up for the spot in the pen - or - Ty Madden gets called up For the positioin player Jace Jung or Ben Malgeri.

My guess for Mize's spot (if he needs it) would be Ty Madden (already on the roster)

How about Ben Malgeri ?

Hello Ben Malgeri ?

I could see them calling up Trei Cruz before Max Clark becasuse Trei is on teh 40-man. Also, if Mize has to take 10 days off, wouldn't they just activate JV? Javy's fine. A couple of gummies and he'll be good to go.

Well, my thought was this. Mets, you better act fast if you want him because Philly will fire their guy and take him. I would take that rumor very seriously. I don't know if Thomson gets fired at this moment if Cora hadn't become available. I think the Phillies may have already hired Cora before they fired him.

I worked at Honeybaked Ham for about 3 years in the 80s. Mostly a very easy, laid-back job. You can get a lot of studying done most of the year (or get really good at foil-ball floor broom hockey), but the holidays, oh my word. Hired a lot of extra help and it was like an assembly line, but you get rotated around to different duties. Cutting hams in half, glazing the hams with the torches, taking them from the torching rings to the wrappers, and then wrapping them in foil. Seems like that wrapping job would be easy? It was the worst. Speed was everything and the runner would put the ham on a flattened foil sheet and you need to wrap that puppy up in 10 - 15 seconds so nobody is standing there with a molten ham in their hands. First time I did that wrapping part, I did not wear gloves to get a better grip. Probably at least a dozen paper cuts (on each hand), but made with foil So painful. Then I am showing my co-workers how many cuts I had and a guy named Dan Zammet walked by with liquid cleanser and squirted a bunch in my hands. I liked Dan, he was funny, but I will never forgive him for that. If I ever see him again (haven't since the mid 90s), he knows that'll be the first thing I bring up. I don't see much of anyone anymore. I don't drink anymore and I have severed a few friendships because of their politics and I don't like leaving the house. With the ear damage I am a bit scared of going to concerts because I don't want to damage my good ear. I just want to chill at home with my dog and my Tigers games.

Yeah, but it's so weird to be standing for maybe 3-5 minutes in one section of a store and they knew EXACTLY what I was looking for. Just creepy. But I think I am a fairly young-thinking old guy at 61, but I don't need non-stop adulation on social media. To me it's a form of mental illness and there's a lot of really sick people out there and they don't know it. I've read about a growing trend of people unplugging from social media and finding themselves to be much, much happier. It's crazy. It's like the Black Mirror episode "Nosedive", which is the most realistic episode of the whole series. Great episode and 100% happening in real life.
