Damn—forgot they moved the walls.

Betting on the Miggy/Tork/Baez HR parlay this weekend.

I know Hinch likes to mix it up, but I’d be good if we put out the following infield, lumps and all, most days for the 2nd half of the season: 1B Tork Bomb 2B El Lobo SS Baez 3B Malloy

I think they had off-field issues with Weaver and Fick. Weaver was not dumped, either—they got Carlos Peña and Bonderman for him. I do agree with your last statement, though.

JV has been outspoken in the past against cheaters. Perhaps his time in Houston helped soften his stance. I suspect he’ll be silent now.

I don’t think we signed him—he was on the final year of his contract when we traded for him.

We dodged that bullet. He rejected our long term offer.

The guy on the Tigers I would want to avoid in a fight is Baez.

I hope they at least fed him before putting him back in the car.

Does Jose Ramirez use Miggy’s nutritionist?

If he has a productive season, he’ll be traded. They can’t risk him exercising his opt out without getting something in return.

I get excited when I see Bally flash the Tigers lineup and the incredibly high batting averages. Until I realize that they are just very low OPS.

Halfway there!

Send me your social security and PIN numbers and I’ll see if I can help you out.

Hope it’s a cold weather thing.

This was a badass OF from the 70’s:

Pretty powerful discussion with Gibby and Kapler re Parkinson’s and subsequent convo between Gibby and Shep. Strongly recommend to anyone who missed it during yesterday’s rain delay.

I like the concept, and there have been a few executions I've enjoyed. Looking forward to what the Tigers do and just hope they don't F it up (like the Rangers did above). Would be cool to see a Motown or Motor City version. Just no teal, please.

These two wins bring us to within 2 games of .500

I can still feel the sting from the vibration of a fastball (probably 50 mph, if I’m being honest) against my ****ty aluminum bat.

speaking of naming rights, I was involved with U.S. Cellular, a Chicago-based wireless company, when the Chicago White Sox decided to sell them for Comiskey. At that time, Chicago native, Joan Cusack (Sixteen Candles, School of Rock) was the spokesperson in our advertising campaign. The local sports radio jocks refused to call it U.S. Cellular Field, and instead referred to it as "The Joan." Needless to say, the U.S. Cellular team were not happy. Guaranteed Rate has subsequently purchased the rights.

Only because you’re used to it over 20 years now. Lots of consternation and out cry when it opened. Many referred to it as the CoPa, as both shorthand, but also to avoid saying Comerica.

Definitely will be a cold one tonight for the 100 who show up.
