We used to sit in the parking lot drinking beer until the 4th or 5th inning of the first game. And then go into Tiger Stadium to see a game and a half. Good times, even if I ended up puking. 😅 It turned out to be a very pleasant night in Metro Detroit. Just enough rain to water my freshly mowed lawn. Perfect baseball weather...but...whatever.

The storm quickly passed and I have a dryway. 😅

A lot of extra rest for Jobe. Originally was to pitch tonight but the Tigers switched him and Mize so Jobe would go Saturday. Now he's going Monday instead. I wonder how many innings they want to limit him to? I don't think he's ever pitched 100 innings in the limited time he's been a pro. With Cobb coming back someday, I could see the Tigers holding Jobe to between 125-150 innings.

#3 is actually going to be a big increase on car insurance. At least, for full coverage. His tarriffs are going to increase the price on car parts that are used for repairs. As for SS? People who rely on it for their only income already don't pay taxes on it. If there's other income, either 50% or 80% is considered income. But it still doesn't increase people's tax burden very much. But again, once he bankrupts the SS fund, people won't get benefits and....presto...no tax.

Wow. Seeing this all at once hits home. I got about 1/2 way thru. The draft dodger also wanted a $6 million military parade for his birthday. Did that make this list?

A few more of his promises that he repeated over and over. And weren't jokes, just outright lies;

He repeated it over and over. At every campaign rally. He even said he would end it as a president-elect. He was not saying it in jest. It was one of him many, many unkept promises.

It's getting really dark here, the wind is picking up and it's cooled off about 10⁰. The Detroit forecast for this evening;

Well, it was a beautiful day today. 100% chance of rain at game time. The radar looks pretty ugly.

That last pass was very meaningless. Half a second? No chance, even if it were caught. Maybe with 3 seconds but even then, nearly impossible. I think back on all the 3 point shots missed. Take 2 on a few of them and it's a victory.

Yeah, I remember some talk about them needing pitching but not offering much in return. They do have several young good prospects but their lack of pitching, and pitching injuries, are destroying their 2025 season, so far. The pitching matchups this weekend heavily favors the Tigers. This has been a very successful home stand so far.

Last trade deadline, they made ALL of their young players untouchable. They still made the playoffs but their lack of pitching did them in. I think maybe the Tigers had offered them Flaherty.

Tomorrow. They switched Jobe and Mize.

Looking at the pitching matchups for this 3 game set? I don't want to jinx the Tigers but Baltimore is really struggling on the mound.

Plus, as a 1st round pick, we get that 5th year.

There was also chatter that Bijan Robinson was the better back.

Remember when the Lions pick was always in the first half hour?

I hope he's a major bust.

The Green Bay love is making me queasy. 🤮🤮

Brad loves taking injured and talented players who would have been drafted earlier.

Well see another old friend coming to town with Baltimore. Gregory Soto...

Sanders to Detroit? 🤣🤣

I could see the NFL draft 1st round lasting a month sometime in the future. One 1st round pick per day. They can have a 3 hour show discussing who will get picked and after, discussing the player picked. Then discuss the next days pick. It's bad enough they'll start having next year's mock drafts...next week.

Paul Reed reminds me of Ben Wallace....on free throws
