Is that The NY Times pitch bot?

People that downplay January 6 do not love our country and what it stands for. It’s that simple. When that gets said it tells you everything about their political outlook.

Will we see a repeat of the spring when everyone went down and we went up?

Realistically what probably happens is he gets hurt and misses significant time the next two years and the point is moot

He is either going to play baseball or go back to Miami where he lives. He’s not going to trudge around an MLB season away from his family unless he’s playing. Guys like Willie were ambassadors because they lived here. I doubt we see much of Miggy around town when he’s finished. The statue unveiling, “Miggy Day”, HOF, jersey retirement. That’s it. He won’t be coming to Tigerfests in 2045. These guys are already packed up and gone since the Tigers finish on the road. His flight Sunday is from chicago to Miami.

I am reminded of the only neighborhood association meeting I ever attended. A guy got up and was talking about the new smart meters being installed and how dangerous they were. When nobody was getting into what he was saying he said “come on people… don’t you see this? It’s all out there on the internet”. This was in 2011.

They can’t do anything with his contract without approval from the Players association. He’s due that money in 2022 and 2023 value. Any kind of buyout would have interest added which defeats the purpose. They would just release him or not play him. Hate to say it but the way he hamstrings the team is not his salary but his actual play. It’s fine now because they are building up. But if you need to win games then there might be better options at the plate. His current production is nothing remarkable. What he did in 2012 won’t help you win games in 2022.

Today’s report is the first that has me worried for some reason. I know it’s only two days but I would feel better if we see some flattening. It’s been warmer than usual and I am afraid as we move indoors this trend continues. Time wise based on other waves we should start to see a decrease.

I guess in MAGA world drug companies only make one drug

No surprise there.... if you seek out the most unpatriotic people in our country the vast majority of them will be Trump voters. They seek something else...

I remember in the pregame intros before game 1 of the 2006 WS I asked my buddy “are we really going to win the WS with Neifi Perez at SS?” Remember they put Guillen at 1B

I've only see the headlines but I'd be curious to know the effects on vaccinated vs unvaxxed people... or is it not even necessary for vaccinated if they get covid?

I predict the unvaxxed would rather take horse pills and gargle with iodide.

I'll be watching Newark on HBO Max. Can't find time to get to a theater and when we do we still have to see Shang Chi.

It’s like every meme I’ve ever read rolled into one.

I don’t think they look at your card. All that stuff is logged into the system. I looked on my chart and it’s there and I never told my doctor. If these people go to the hospital they won’t be considered vaccinated…

so I can drop $3000 every August for the chance to maybe watch a WC game.

I think that's what they call it in the UK... like 'mobile' (pronounced moh-bile) for your cell phone. And "car park".... and "queue".... no wonder we left.

it's easier to get from 55-60 wins to 78 then it is to get from 77 to 90.

I think it's simply that due to their player's association agreement with the players they cannot mandate that? Not all union agreements are created equal.

1/3 of cases in MI are under 18. A friend's dad just passed. He was fully vaxed, but you always have to give the disclaimer that he had 'comorbidities'. They don't know how he got it. Probably from one of the grandkids. Weird thing is his wife didn't test positive, she gave him mouth to mouth when she found him passed out. He was quarantining at home and collapsed. My wife thinks maybe she was asymptomatic before and gave it to him but it went through her system before a posotive could be detected.

I’ve always thought that Tori Hunter in RF impacted Austin’s defense. The CF is supposed to be the captain in the OF but he either deferred to the vet too often or adjusted his play thinking he was with Tori from 4 years prior.

@Tigeraholic1 posted this in the Sept 27th game thread but I think it's a worthy inclusion here:
