I have my doubts that the lack of an adolescence spent conditioning your still plastic visual-perceptual hardware/software chasing fly balls can be made up by some early work before a few games as an adult, but sure, that pig *could* fly.

interesting, but Platoon level walk-aways would be more significant. That might indicate that the information wall around the grunts was collapsing.

In other news, the Sun will rise in the East tomorrow.

the umps are not competent enough to switch the ball reliably for 2, so obviously 3.

was watching video of Putin's speech; he spent the whole time at the podium unweighting off his right leg every 5 seconds or so, the same leg he kept lifting during the Shoigo video. I don't know if that is just a standard physical tic for him, if not maybe sciatica on his right side, or who knows what.

it's already feeling like 2020.

yeah - there needs to be a protest filed with the league office. They don't go anywhere but someone needs to go on record.

LOL - well you have the guy hitting the ball hard up as the winning run.

interesting that Dan's monitor says it was a good pitch, gameday says it was a ball.

At 21 the Tigers shutout is now also old enough to drink...

another QS

10 pitch inning for Blackburn..... Poor Jimmy can't believe another inning is already over. It's a shame if this is all they give Price to work with in what could clearly be his last season.

Grossman gets a 91.5 mph middle/middle mistake and.... still makes an out.

maybe the whole table top.

9 pitch inning for Blackburn.

Not sure why they are so amazed the A's are looking to take the outside pitch away. Pineda has no velo, they have plenty of time to adjust if he comes inside.

Tigers O doing their bit to shorten game times.

Blackburn make three nearly perfect pitches to Schoop, he manages to hit one hard, and still gets nothing. That's how it goes when your slumping.

Hinch will probably be mad at him and bench him for bunting with one out just now.

man, don't blink while the Tigers are hitting, you'll miss the half - inning.

I thought Trotz has already quit one job because they wanted to move him to management and he wanted to coach? Maybe he's changed his mind over time. Not to mention "some believe....". Really? Taking lessons from Lynn Henning

I can only surmise that the pressure of losing is scrambling their brains.

another HR off a change-up. I remember JV had to stop throwing his because he couldn't stop tipping it. I wonder if it's the nature of the change that it's harder to deliver without tipping, guys seem to hunt them against the Tigers.

hopefully it will just go away as it really serves very nearly no purpose, but I doubt it. From an investment standpoint it's basically now in the same category as art. It's going to be worth whatever the next guy will pay for it, except you can't hang it on your wall and look at it in the meantime. I guess if you buy a digital art NFT, which is essentially also buying crypto, you can leave it up as the screensaver on your TV!

I think what he's trying to get out at the public level is that the Russian infiltration of the party has been more longstanding and endemic through it's consultants and lobbyists than just the Trump episode. But that is superimposed on a private feud with Meagan I haven't followed at all and don't care about either. She obviously want to keep dad on a pedestal to she can bath in the reflected light so she hasn't liked Schmidt putting the blame for things like Palin back on McCain.
