FWIW, in the interviews I have heard, the players really liked the Connects, but then again, none of them grew up in Michigan or were Tiger fans, except possibly McStinky. Plus, most of them are Gen Zs, if that makes any difference.

You should all be relieved to learn that I will not be attending any of these games.

Yes, definitely the biggest test since the Dodgers. Bigger even than the Yankees series. The Cubs are scoring a couple thousand runs a game. need to bring the bats so we can outrun them. Good thing for us Steele and Imanaga and Assad are all hurt. Too bad Ben Brown isn't starting tomorrow instead of today. Cade Horton vs Jack Flaherty is going to be a hoot.

I don't see any way Trump decides to spin out Elon from his circle peramnently. Elon has way, way more money than Trump, and if there's one reason Trump respects anyone, that's the reason. If they don't reconcile, it will be because Elon doesn't want to. Despite that his adversary is the actual president of the United States, Elon holds all the cards. I predict Trump will privately make concessions to Elon to publicly bring him back into the fold, and I further predict those concessions will have a direct impact on the American people.

He talks about it only when he is being threatened by something, or when he wants to exploit its merchandising value.

Can I just tell you how much the phrase "literally implying" makes me giggle? I mean, what would it even mean to figuratively imply anything?

It is ... how shall I put this? ... interesting that he has no visible wounds or any other lingering physical effects from supposedly having been shot.

If details ever did come out—which, I can't see how they ever would, since the only details remaining are who are the girls and what were the acts—then not only would Trump merely deflect rather than deny, but also, a lot of his flying monkeys probably would interpret that as permission.

Didn't Trump famously keep a copy of the book on his night stand, or something like that?

What stuff is the Dems telling us they're giving away, and how do I get me some?

If what we're debating is how influential she is in a very narrow sense within a very narrow geography at a very specific point in time, and disregarding everything else, then that tells me everything I need to know about how much my hair should be on fire when it comes to Rashida Tlaib in general.

I think it’s problematic enough we even have to debate what it is Trump really thinks of it all, because he is so inarticulate when it comes to the language of diplomacy and statesmanship. It should be clearer than crystal what the American president thinks about the heroic efforts of the Allies in World War II, and especially what side of it all he’s on.

We can say a lot of negatives about the guy and they would all be true, but we can’t deny he’s a star, and arguably the biggest star of our lifetimes.

lol “dating”. Also, lol “in 10 years”

Trump basically told us he was in the Epstein files by the way he pussyfooted around the questions when asked about releasing them.

It’s not so much a copout as it’s irrelevant. She’s an elected representative in a national governing body. Her influence within Michigan is of secondary importance at best, especially since Trump would have won the election even if Michigan went to Kamala. You might consider asking me whether I believe Rashida is the most nationally influential congressional rep from Michigan.

I seem to remember the controversy was Jung was drafted for second base but was already below average there, so it looked like he was going to eventually move to third like a dozen other guys we had in the system, and it all looked very haphazard. Plus Jung had a weirdo batting stance.

Thanks. Bummer, they have no bonus info from before 2017.

Yes, you’re right. You’re talking about it from the Tigers’ perspective, and I agree with your approach from that perspective. I’m talking about it from the Jays’ perspective. They’re not making the deal unless they get a major league contributor today’s back in trade.

Dingler’s defnese is top notch. He’s a superior options in all facets right now. The Achilles Heel I see for Dingler is his propensity to chase. It’s costing him strikes in the zone. I think pitchers are challenging him now, but as much as he crushes balls in the zone, he’s dead in the water on decent breaking stuff. Once the league wakes up to him and figures out how to attack him, then we’ll see how quickly he can adapt to make himself a very good #1 for the long term.

It won’t if he continues to hit around .118.

I think he will not.

And that message is, clock is ticking on your career.

In the right fielder’s glove, unfortunately. And now Beau Brieske in to pitch, instead of Chase Lee. Yay.

This is almost certainly not going to happen, but a real interesting potential scenario has popped up here: if a Tiger happens to get hurt and has to come out of the game, we’re going to have to conscript a pitcher to play the field in his place, or else become DH if it’s Ibanez.
