Regression of Foley has been a major disappointment.

LOL - Miller with the bases loaded.

Tigers get to a situation like this and the BP is so thin and the lineup so short there is just no optimism.

2b is 2/3 toward 1B and the SS has to stay on the left side. That what the league wants.

wasn't it completely pointless to bring Kenta out for a another inning?

first ball the Ramos had been a strike against half a dozen Tigers. Well, here were go - two bleeders - can he get out of it? EDIT: gave up one.

yeah - Andy didn't have a prayer - 4 inches outside - strike, 4 inches inside - strike.

It wouldn't be such a big deal if he had just misremembered an event 30 yrs ago - it was the certainty that he was right and the threats to sue the Times that mark the situation. Forgetting is not half the indicator that stubbornness about refusing to admit that you may have forgotten is.

at least the 2nd he's missed by than a full ball's width. Challenge can't come soon enough. And scoring is going to go way up. Probably what they are worried about.

Don't tell that to the Dolphins...😉 But correct - it's a whole different system. And for that matter, not only have the contractual issues changed but the importance of the position has done nothing but increase, so today you not only need to have good backup QB to keep hope alive if your #1 went down, you'd probably need an elite one since more often than not, a good team today revolves around not just good QB play, but elite QB play.

I don't know if it's accurate to say they will regret moving Mize to the 60 because I don't really think they care that much about wins and losses right now, but after throwing 35 pitches last night, Casey will be ready well before 9/1.

Arizona GOP is so revived the GOP mayor of Mesa AZ is endorsing Harris/Walz.

Yeah - And entertainment pages have always been cheaper to produce than actual hard news.

The Micheal Crowley piece could have been written by a Tucker Carlson intern.

Legend in his own mind.

I would guess mostly the oligarch owners. The kind of noblesse oblige that drove old money people like Katherine Graham to run a liberal newpaper is more than ever the exception to the rule (for which I do give Bezos some credit at WaPO). We are 30 years into the internet and the newspaper business still is searching for a workable business model.

While it wasn't that unusual in ' 72, guys like Earl Morrell as backups are pretty rare in today's league. Most backups tend to inexperienced guys. Quarterbacks as good as Morrell would have gotten too expensive to have as backups in today's NFL. They either still have their starting gig or they made enough to retire....

Someday you can tell your grandchildren how you survived the great stock market crash of Aug 5 2024 because your internet happened to go down for 48 hrs and you just missed it. anyway, the market has already ordained that the Fed is going to cut 50 pts in Sept. But if initial unemployment claims stay low they just might not.

What does it tell us that the most celebrated song writer of one era was writing that, while the most celebrated song writer of this era writes about bad boyfriends? Of course today Dylan claims he never meant anything by it. He'll tell you he was just stringing some words together.

there is an art to getting your glove turned around to open upward on a dive that even many major leaguers never fully master. For a master class lesson see Parker's nab of that sinking liner the other night where the fingers of his gloves were literally on the ground - glove open upward, as ball landed on/in them for the out.

Vest is the proof that 98 doesn’t matter if you can’t get ahead.

He doesn't impress as much of a fielder. On almost every fly he catches he has to make a last second lunge.

well that sucks

Hinch could have moved Vierling to the OF. Could have started Perez in the OF.

Lugnuts are getting a little loose here. .....Sammons gets away clean.
