Yep. The Twins in 2009 won a tiebreaker. In that situation they played a game. Now they do not play a game but use another method. In both cases whoever wins the tiebreaker wins the division. As a Tiger fan on the losing side in that game in 2009 it wouldn't make me feel any better if the Twins had won their tie breaker via a formula vs a game.

When I was working from home full time west coast games didn't bother me at all. I liked them as the house was quiet. Now that I have to drive 20 minutes (oh poor me!) into an office to put on my headset and talk to folks around the world from there rather than my home office it is a bit of a bummer.

I suspected when they made the changes earlier this year and the vagueness of his status that he is on some kind of contract/game by game basis. They will call him when they need him.

The atmosphere last night was on par with playoffs. Best I’ve seen this year.

I don’t know what the word “hurt” means at this point with regard to him and his presidency. They don’t care about legacy. They have the house and senate. The GOP won’t push back on him. What difference does his approval rating mean?

He's the useful idiot for all the others to run rough shed. He doesn't care what they do. As long as his family gets their billions. He's just a figure head and rubber stamp. It's play time for the quacks and there will be real consequences for this nation.

The Avs have no defense and are soft and we own Patrick Roy... bring 'em on.

My advice after 40 years of being a big enough fan to care about such things.... don't root for or against any team in the playoffs in terms of a matchup. You will get burned.

I watched 15 minutes of the first episode and as a space junkie had trouble getting past certain things that, even though it was alternate history, were still slightly inaccurate. But that's a ME problem. Every historical based program will have those problems.

For some reason the Apple shows are a black hole for us, other than Severance. Everybody I know and who's opinions I trust tell me great things about all of them, especially For All Mankind, the alternate space history where the Russians win the moon race. But yeah.. Severance is good. After about 45 minutes into the first episode I almost gave up thinking it was a Kubrick knock off but then I got the point. I would have dreams about the show.

When he was at ESPN they did Pac 12 games together. At the 2:50 mark they bring up Torkelson.

and isn't that the source of his history with Bill Walton?

Only one thing can save Cracker Barrel now

Dammit... now I gotta hear from my boomer MIL and sister about "how stupid" it is that the game is on Apple TV and "why do the Tigers do that?"

3 1/2 years of this ****.... What happens when they order the secret service to arrest Barack Obama? Seriously. What procedures are there in place to stop that from happening? You don't think it can happen? Or he just issues an order or they smuggle a law through that says former POTUS don't get protection anymore. Nothing is off the table anymore and podcasts won't save our country.

Byron Donalds is who Chappelle was making fun of in one of his greatest bits.

It was all time. I don’t have the link now.

I always associated #34 with a good player. But it's been kind of average. This is from 2022.

whining about prices if what poor people do and poor people are woke and it's not good being woke.

Generally agree except I'll add if Skubal was having the kind of impact years as a position player they'd be more willing to make him a franchise guy. But since he's a P they won't take the risk. If they somehow knew he'd stay healthy for 8 more years, they'd do it. Would this regime have extended Cabrera the 2nd time? No. They would have done what the Cardinals did with Pujols.

as a child of the 80's I'll allow a Johnny O reference in the Tigers forum.

I'm glad they're doing it but I think it's fair to wonder if the team had, say reached the 2nd round of the playoffs last year, and had a lot of ticket sales,would they be doing it? I mean... the same day I got an email about a 5 game package that included this game.

That made me like him more. If Bauer had a case he could sue. He hasn't. There's a reason no MLB has gone after him to help their club.

y'aint from around here iz ya boy?
