How about that sword by Diaz on strike two!

Either or. 👌🏽

As for using Jackson Jobe, I would not be surprised to see him used as an opener.

They all look like high school kids to me.

A lot of people also have a different definition of "racist" than I do, and maybe than you do as well.

Well, you just know how much people in Michigan and Wisconsin love Brian Urlacher.

You know what this means, don't you? Max Clark and Kevin McGonigle are in play for the big club next year.

This is like you've been smoking this garbage Mexican dirt weed from the 70's on a makeshift beer can pipe for the last ten years, and all of a sudden someone packs some hydroponic Godfather OG into a Dopezilla Hydra bong and makes you take the biggest huff of your life. That's what this all feels like. h/t @Hongbit

Yet another amazing development for the Tigers. You absolutely cannot predict what this Harris administration will or will not do. Just can't. This is beyond amazing. I swear I'm gonna OD on this ****.

Holy. ****ing. ****.

I expect my radio and TV announcers to be on the side of the team, and talk about the game from the team's perspective, as in, "Tigers need to score some runs here", but I don't like it when they root for a team like a slappy fan would, as in, "come on, boys, let's score some runs! Go, Tigers!" That's the clear line of professionalism I draw.

Everybody would have led the 2003 Tigers in K/9 by a wide margin. You would have led the 2003 Tigers in K/9 by a wide margin

The chances that we move Skubal for prospects while we are a playoff contender is exactly zero.

I get Hanson and I agree with it, but what American would honestly confuse Georgia the American state with Georgia the Russian vassal state? It barely seems possible to confuse.

I believe that, too, although the question at hand is whether they mistakenly included the Georgia country instead of the state, or whether they did so purposefully as part of a psyop thing. I'm thinking the latter is actually pretty likely.

I've been wondering whether the Democrats are strategically praising Mike Johnson to create a rift in the fabric of republican political hegemony and break them apart just before the election here. That would be some OG **** if true.

There is no way the Trump campaign are not doing things like this on purpose to troll liberals and distract them from the important terrible things the Trumpers are saying, proposing, and doing. I mean, come on, this is so obvious, isn't it?

Good idea posting this day before. We’ll probably have at least five full pages in the books before game time. I wouldn’t say I’m nervous, exactly, but I do have a bit of trepidation going into this week because now, all of a sudden, I feel the twinge of expectations. With playoffs odds around 70%, it would be at least somewhat disappointing for me to see them fall short. Even if we finish 0-6, I will still be very, very happy with this season and our prospects going into 2025. But just a little twinge, y’know? But that’s OK. That just means we have a good team to root for now. With the Twins playing the Marlins, it wouldn’t surprise me to see them win 2/3 while we win only 1/3 from the Rays and we go into the weekend down one. That would make sweeping the White Sox imperative. It would be a sweet tension I haven’t felt with this franchise probably since 2013.

I just want to enjoy the thing I am seeing on the field right now and not think about the thing that’s going to happen off the field until we’re out of it.

The young ‘uns have heard from grandpa how the white man used to be on top in the old days, and that’s a seductive sell to white kids who live in exurban and rural areas where they see things aren’t going so good economically for them and their nearly 100% white neighbors, all while they see on the News about how the n-bombs and their trans kids who are ruining the cities are itching to come on out and do the same to their Hallmark Channel town. Who wouldn’t want to vote for that amirite

If we end up even contemplating trading Skubal at next year’s deadline, then something has gone horribly, horribly wrong.

I also don’t think this front office is going to push hard to lock up Skubal for a bunch of years anytime soon. He’s going to be 30 for his first free agent season in 2027, and his two-time-loser elbow is still a red flag when it comes to longevity. Paying mid-eight-figure annually for several of his age 30+ seasons, especially at the back end, would not seem to be a good investment. Are we already forgetting the albatross contract we shed just this season, or even the one we have for an aging collapsing player right now?

That’s why we’re gonna start Mize against the White Sox, probably Friday.
