Getting the early game sucks in my opinion.

Is that in jersey?

We are. This is us on Friday. Just wish my older son could have been there with us. He was working then at the Michigan game Saturday

LOL.

I ended up going today. I had turned in earlier tickets for this one in anticipation of a clincher. After last night I was ambivalent. My youngest son and I were gonna go. When I saw the weather I said screw it. He had a long night with us anyway. I already paid for parking so was a bit bummed. I sat around the house watching Michigan play. My wife comes home, wondering why we aren’t at Comerica park. There’s no way my special needs son would have tolerated this he crowded concourse for 2 hours during a delay. after last nights fun i reconnected with an old friend via text and asked him if he wanted to go with me in case I decide to go. He was sick. Was kind of looking for motivation to go. So we are laying around and I see on social media the game will start around 3:30. It’s 3:05. My wife is like “just go. I can take care of Alex and dinner. Season is almost over. We are going tomorrow so I don’t mind missing out”. I head down and get theRe in the 2nd. It rained the whole time. Like a mist. I got drenched. Luckily it wasn’t cold. Just heavy. I had some money left on my food voucher they give us and had 2 hot dogs and also 2 MGD’s. (Only $5!). Once they hit the 2 run homer I boogied put. It was a nice no pressure game. I would not have done this in June or July but when it’s the final regular season series you have to soak in all the games you can. And I don’t mind going by myself sometimes. It’s nice to just chill and not have to make small talk. No different than going and sitting in nature to meditate or whatever. and hats off to the crowd.

If Hinch doesn’t start Skubal in game one then he’s telling his team he has no confidence in them. He’s halfway to conceding the game. That goes against this entire 6 week run.

keating said AJ said they will play. The rain will ease up eventually it looks like.

Good problems to have. I don’t recall this in the past. This team doesn’t have the star power but I thinking deeper in consistency.

Radar got worse but it looks like Comerica Park is right on the edge of the system so it might be ok. But they may just wait it out. Looked better a few hours ago.

Welcome back. I think of your username whenever I hear his music.

I have tickets but not sure whether we go. Was a long night for my little fella. He says he wants to go but we will see. I’m fine either way. We are going tomorrow anyway. We might just go and walk around and sit wherever. I will be interested in how many actually show up. Tickets are all sold. The play might be uninspiring although the pitchers and a few position guys have something to play for. Postseason rosters. these kids are young though. Their bodies can handle partying all night and showing up for work in the morning.

One side kills civilians as a matter of strategy and terror. The other side now responds to target the soldiers and fighters without regard to civilian loss because the civilians are either complicit or the soldiers/leaders purposefully hide among them thinking Israel won’t go after them. Israel sees the civilian casualties as the fault and victims of Hamas and Hezbollah.

Reading comments from local Arabs and Muslims is interesting. Most are lamenting the killing of a “martyr” but then a Syrian jumps in and is like “WTF?”

Talk radio is the daytime TV of sports. Idiots appealing to the lowest common denominator.

Tomorrow’s game will be interesting. Hinch didn’t do “Sunday lineups”. These guys may just sleep in the clubhouse. 12 hours until BP!

I love that it’s a bunch of kids. No bloated vets hanging around because of a contract. They’re too dumb to know they have to wait. Tonight was an amazing night at the park. The teams prior, even2006, had stress involved. This team just took it and didn’t care. They don’t know you have to wait. **** it. We take.

My wife watched that Rom Com she made and afterwards said “I gotta admit…. Her boobs are pretty awesome “

And the Tigers “collapse” earlier this year is just as crucial to those teams runs until recently. By saying what he says he’s implying it’s due to some strange event instead of just a team playing just over .500 over 162 games. Maybe MN and KC aren’t as good as their records indicated 10 days ago. Teams that win 83-88 games will have stretches like that. Some come in April and others come in September. This is Valenti just being a blowhard trying to sound smarter than others because a bunch of new baseball fans showed up.

Would that make me gay? Not that there’s anything wro…..

interesting. I've been disappointed with season 3. I lost the urgency to watch it and now we have 2 episodes left and will finish probably tomorrow night. It didn't draw me in this time. The episodes reminded of what TV shows were doing during COVID when restrictions on production meant they often had isolated storylines in order to reduce exposure. I want more action in the restaurant. In the one episode when they flashed back to earlier days and you saw them all yelling at each other, that was fun. It got to the point where I would welcome a commercial on Hulu so I could play on my phone.

This kind of logic is ignorant. Yes, the Twins going 3-7 helped the Tigers. Yes the Royals losing 7 in a row recently helped the Tigers. But the Tigers have gone 9-1. And on the flip side, the Tigers going 3-7 helped the Twins and the Royals. The Tigers going 3-9 in early August helped the Twins and Royals. Why don't people discredit them for only getting a lead at another team's expense? Why is it the team charging at the end get dinged because someone else is losing? I know it's news to talk radio knobs that baseball goes for 162 games. Teams go to the playoffs because other teams lose. That's how sports works. It doesn't matter when they lose.

Saturday's weather is looking kinda crummy so they better finish this off tonight.

If Florida goes blue, in a close manner, and there's an opportunity to muck it up.... would DeSantis be like "screw you... I told y'all it was bad news to nominate this guy and look what happened..."

And Trevor Plouffe.... his name became a verb, as in "We got plouffed"
