How about "Scheduled for cervical vertebrae fusion surgery in the morning." /k.

ZOG is an old one but it hasn't gotten much play recently.

total insanity. I read a speculation today that the most likely scenario under which the US dissolves will be after one more terrible event and CA tells the Federal gov they will not enforce the 2A and other blue states join it.

👍

If they do shut him down again I hope it's for another 30 day 'wait and see' again - though it's already getting late for him to back in 2024.

Lynn has been a good reporter but a terrible analyst - but like Lee notes, he's gets pretty sloppy about telling you which is which, and even more so now in his 'retirement.' Riley will be at Toledo exactly as long as it takes for him get his swing in shape not a day longer because of his foot. Lynn may *think* that is going to take a month, but that part if purely his opinion. I'm pretty certain the Tigers haven't moved him there with the intent for him to be there any more than 30 AB.

Lynn's mind is going bye-bye. That's not how it works. A guy has to be cleared 100% physically before he goes back on the field whether at Lakeland, Toledo, or Det. He's not going to spend a month at Toledo getting his hitting eye back, and playing at Toledo vs Detroit has zero to do with his navicular bone's condition, it's either ready for play or it isn't and if he's playing pro baseball in Toledo there is no less stress on it there than there will be in Det. so in the opinion of the real doctors it's sufficiently healed to play, which means play anywhere. (barring some setback of course - remember this is the 2022 Tigers we're talking about.) So the translation is.....Lynn had one of his bad days.

automobiles is not too much of a growth market in the US or Europe. And China is, well, China. In Europe/US you have to depend on stealing market share and TBH, you do that 50/50 based on the other guy's missteps as much as your own product. 🙄

And they really didn't do any thing to help in the new CBA, which is too bad for fans.

Torkelson has had 77 PA in May 1st 31: 039/194/039 last 46: 300/370/475 I think Cole Porter wrote a song about him.....

Just hope tomorrow doesn’t end up a long day. R Garcia was

Just hope it's not 9-8 over 17 by this time tomorrow. Not real confident in Wentz. Roni....maybe

Even though Brieske gave up 4 runs in 5 IP, which is pretty bad, he was throwing his breaking stuff for strikes occasionally. If he can keep doing that he might survive this baptism of fire they are putting him through.

well, good new, bad news from Columbus tonight where the Mudhens got rocked 9-1. The bad news was Tyler Alexander gave up 5 of the runs in 3 IP. The good news was Greene played CF and had a hit (1/4) and Vest pitched an inning giving up one hit and tallying a K.

for some reason they have dropped the time controls from the gameday audio page, which makes it nearly impossible to sync it to my video stream, and plus my GD audio has dropped back to almost a full minute delay - meaning I would read what happens here before I ever hear it...... I don't know if the added delay is something local to my stream or something gameday is doing globally but it's made running them together a fairly negative experience this season.

and he's barely been able to throw his slider for strike - if at all, so that is yet not his potential best.

Tigers 5-5 over their last 10. Has to be their best 10 in a while.

he needed to come off he bag to handle the throw or hold the ball. Since he didn't the runner got an extra base so that's an error....I guess. Scoring it generally terrible so I don't both trying to figure it out.

yeah - Willi's got a couple of hits, but he just gave a run back. Trade him to a team that needs a DH.

No kidding?

probably not Schoops choice - it's the 'contact' play, and I generally dislike it.

yeah - I'd rather have a tie with the clock run almost out to force OT than a one point lead with 16 seconds even if he makes the shot.

true dat

TBF, I don't think anyone but very a very strict Calvinist sect would agree with the last formulation. Most traditional Christian theology would hold that God has not predestined the future other than in a most general way, thus if you believe in a God capable of transcending the rules of the order he created (and willing) then prayer would not be is not futile. No question though, you hear "Omnipotent" and "Omniscient" thrown around a lot in casual church speak. And I don't know that it follows necessarily that a thwarted plan is a lack of a plan or even a failed plan. You may 'plan' to teach your 5 yr old to ride a two wheeler on a particular day and allow he/she to thwart your plan any number of times when you might have done more to advance the cause, yet still eventually succeed. But "Theology" is basically BS anyway as per your 2nd sentence

I would think a manager gets pretty much who he wants most of the time. I would guess most GMs are only going to push back when it becomes an organizational issue where someone is out of options and would have to be released, or the GM/org specifically wants a young player to stay in the minors longer.
