Good thing I am not the manager or GM.

He is still President and has both houses on his side, so you are correct.

I think it will be Meadows going to Toledo when Carpenter returns. Sweeney is their back-up shortstop. McKinstry can play there, but shortstop is not his best position and he is their most frequent third baseman at the moment. Vierling, Perez and Greene would cover center field.

I am surprised that Hicklen played in only one game. I seem to remember him being on the roster for a while and I thought he had played a few games.

Four homers, none of them solo: grand slam, two 3-run homers and a 2-run shot.

Why did they pick those particular cutoffs? It has been a really really bad slump but if was the worst ever, couldn't they have stopped at the first one?

We all should have know that they Tigers were not as good as the one that played at a 100 win pace the first half. Weaknesses have been exposed and they are going through a slump. All the teams trying to catch them have been through this too. The Indians went through a 0-10 stretch, the Twins 3-15, the Royals went 1-9. The Tigers still have a 7-game lead and are still strong favorites to win the division over teams with similar warts. I hope they add some good pieces even if it's only relievers.

The Democrats have still been winning a lot of elections. Just not enough of them. Democracy is not over.

I wish for MAGA to be voted out of office.

Nothing will ever happen to him. It rarely does to the rich and powerful. The only hope is those supporters who want to see others exposed and taken down will get upset when nothing happens to the evil elite pedophile cabal which has taken over the government. That might be a way for MAGA to be splintered.

The expression on Skubals face after the Vierling play was priceless.

Right. Having followed the Tigers for 57 years, I've become accustomed to them rarely being in good position this late in the year. I like their organization better now than I have since the 80s, but there are still no guarantees. Even the 80s didn't turn out as good as I imagined at the time.

That boxscore line is unreal 6 6 6 8

That's what I expect to happen.

Mine would be even worse. When I try to have my zoom lectures transcribed, it doesn't understand my Boston accent at all.

No need to make any trades then.

This too.

I like Naylor, but I don't know if he's much of an upgrade over a Keith/Jones platoon. I guess you know what your getting with Naylor, but based on what they are currently doing, a Keith/Jones platoon is pretty good.

But they'll have the best ranked farm system!

Ok, I just looked at your post again. I didn't read it well at all the first time.

He never does anything when it counts. He gets all his home runs in blowouts. He's too soft and just doesn't care. You can tell from his body language.

I believe that it's a French name pronounced DoMayKneel

Haven't you been saying all year that the Tigers are doing so well because they have no stars? Everyone is buying into the system because they are young and hungry and there are no superstars ruining the chemistry.

Someone has to say it...TORK!

Should of taken a longer nap.
