  1. Regarding the schedules. They started doing 4 games on the first day of the LDS then they alternate leagues to skip a day for game 2. That staggers things so that there will be games on Monday instead of off days for both, and guarantees games on Wednesday in the event or 4 sweeps. Last year the ALDS started on Saturday, didn’t play again until Monday, like the NLDS this year.
  2. We went to Cooperstown 2 years ago this week. In one of the clothing shops in they had a Savannah Bananas shirt. My wife knew of them. I had no idea. She seemed surprised. I feel vindicated. Not my thing. I appreciate talent but that kind or thing bores me quickly. “I get it”. Like watching someone juggle for more than 3 minutes.
  3. Speaking of American Woman. Lenny Kravitz is the whitest black person I know this side of Wayne Brady. How can a black guitarist have such little soul? Was never a fan of his.
  4. Not to them. If Jesus did indeed come back soon he’d be deported to El Salvador because anybody named Jesus is obviously Mexican or something.
  5. I remember one of those Verlander’s game 5’s that someone aksed Leyland who would be available in the bullpen. “Verlander”.
  6. Why don’t they point to the sky and cross themselves when they strike out? Didn’t God bless the pitcher? Share the wealth.
  7. Skubal hasn’t pitched to a non Cleveland team in 23 days.
  8. M’s have pressure for sure. But tbese are all good players and I don’t think anything will be the result of pressure. My thoughts relate to fan thinking. It doesn’t project to the players. If it did this team would be home by now. They aren’t looking ahead or assuming that game 2 is a gimme. And Seattle isn’t either. We have a good chance to go up 2-0 coming home. That’s gold Jerry!
  9. This is not meant to be a reverse jinx or whatever but baseball playoffs teach us that anything can happen. A win with Skubal on the mount is not a guarantee. I’m not going into tonight with that mindset. He’s got a lot of pressure to not only perform but to last. I’ll get nervous if his pitch count is up early on. This game is not gravy. Coming home with a split is nice but we saw last year it’s still hard to win 2 in a row.
  10. Where: T Mobil Park, Seattle WA Watch: National - FS1 Listen: Mariners - Seattle Sports (710 AM) Tigers - WDZH 98.7, WWJ 950, LaZ WDTW 1310AM/107.9FMy National - ESPN Radio Probable Pitchers DET: Tarik Skubal SEA: Luis Castillo
  11. Whenever I see the word “democrat” instead of “democratic” I know it is going to be the dumbest and most ignorant **** I’ve read that day.
  12. I’m not going to ban someone for calling a pedo a pedo. If you think he called you or anyone else here one then that’s your own ignorance and we are not responsible for that.
  13. And some people think that bringing up any mention of Nazis is lazy, accusatory, or automatically disqualifying of the argument at hand. But it’s totally appropriate when the analogy fits. It may have been an overused trope back in the 90’s but **** Godwin’s law. A threshold has been crossed. This admin is doing Nazi **** and they deserve to be called out on it and those defending it need to have the balls to defend it or admit to it.
  14. I bet 3 of those equals one large can you buy. As long as they say “please drink responsibly” I guess it is covered
  15. I was at that game. He hit 2. Seattle scored 7 runs in the ninth. According to the ballpark app I was 11-1 at tiger games to that point.
  16. I want Shannon Hogan back
  17. Because they both are on the same network. It’s what they paid for
  18. Good. Because things never go as the experts say
  19. Was he the guy in the Pedro Pascal sketch where he pulled out the cookie tin with sewing stuff inside?
  20. sounds like he's perfect for the Republican party
  21. Bad Bunny is the most streamed artist right now. Can anybody with a brain tell me why this is a bad decision? Do they know how this works? It's not about picking someone "good" that baby boomers want to watch. "Hey, maybe we can get John Fogerty or John Mellencamp or splurge and maybe Garth Brooks. Woo... that'll keep 'em watching." It's not 1996 anymore. I'm 52 in a few days and smart enough to know I'm not their target.
  22. I read the Metro Times which FOIA'd the arrest reports... Don't get a massage from a man you don't know who says he needs the extra hours to get certified.
  23. That's how I felt when I had some here. Previously I'd only had it on vacation, specifically on beach vacations, and beach beer at 12:30 pm hits different.
  24. It's just now available in MI.
