Also, not for nothing, yet another left-handed-hitting outfielder.

I totally remember seeing that. It was a big deal because he was our #1 pitching prospect at the time.

Vilade will be Mr. Right Now whenever he is with us.

Want them fresh for the Cleveland series.

I get that the everyone hates NYT, but really, this is a deeply dumb tweet.

Is that a lot? Context? EDIT: I saw a subsequent tweet saying $30 million is a one-day record for Democrats, so, yeah, I can now see it’s a lot.

Trump: “Le GOP, c’est moi.” So—he pressures … himself? 🤔

Same here.

They’re trying to flip them to Republicans by claiming Democrats don’t really care about democracy after all.

Oh, Trump will definitely say "illegitimate", purposefully, with all the baggage that implies.

That would actually generate a legitimate attack: a vote for Michelle is a vote for a third term of Barack, like a sven-jolly. I could see a lot of swing voters and fecne-sitters getting turned off by that idea.

I'd like to see this—for one thing, it would validate all those votes I wrote her in for! 😁 But yeah, I'm pretty sure it's just a beautiful dream. The early returns from the first three or so hours suggest it's kamala.

#1 issue for them is her turn as the "Border Czar". They will also hammer her for not having been born in the United States, like Obama.

People talk about how Biden stumbles over his words. The thing I worry about with Kamala is that I've seen her stumble over her ideas. I hope I just caught her on the several bad days on which I saw her. I hope she has the stamina to keep up and that she has an always-on button, because she's going to absolutely need both.

So his call for Biden to resign is based on self-interest? Why, I never ...

I know I'm risking getting clobbered with the shame club for this, but is Kamala the slam-dunk nominee just because Biden endorsed her? Might there be other Democrats who want to throw their hat into the ring?

Looks like they're figuring out another way to keep campaigning against Biden.

I don't know, maybe. I feel like he might end up at first once Tork is given the gate.

Colt Keith probably wasn't going to tag out Springer on that double in any event, but he is going to have to learn how to take the throw from the outfield and stab his glove directly down to the base, to get the runner sliding into it, rather than reaching behind the bag a couple feet for the tag of the runner's, I don't know, butt? Point is, keep the glove in front of the runner, not behind him.

How about a grand slam by young Malloy to take the lead back from the Jays? 💪🏾 Remember how the Tigers would give up a run early and we would whine and moan here and give up on the game? Yeah, I'm starting to have trouble remembering that, too.

The Bligh Madris Era gets off to a slow (roller) start.

D'oh, Colt!

I think it's late enough into the season and I've given him enough of a chance to be able to say that I'm pretty much over Jason Benetti. I mean, he's miles better than Shep could ever hope to hope, no doubt. And if I had no other choice, I would be OK listening to him the whole game. But I like more business than wisecracking in my baseball broadcasts, so I'll do the radio overlay with Dan Dickerson whenever he's available.

Not true. It's all over reporting from the time, both local and national. And Harris did take responsibility. That too is in the reporting of the time. Eduardo simply flaked out and blocked the trade, and he was able to block the trade because Al Avila, not Scott Harris, gave Eduardo a no-trade clause. So when Eduardo flaked out, Harris's hands were tied. It looks for all the world like Eduardo never really wanted the trade, intended to go to the market in the offseason anyway, and just wanted to give the Tigers a big middle finger by stringing us along on the way out. I have no idea whether that's what happened, but hey, it's as good a hypothesis as any. And look, it worked: he got more money from another team than he would have had he approved the trade. Sometimes "evil" wins. If as you say Eduardo is a player is an airhead who can't be trusted to keep his word, then thank god he's gone. I know you would have liked to buy out his opt-out clause and keep him here, but thank god he is gone.

I agree that we don't know every conversation that went on behind the scenes but we do know that Eduardo agreed to a deal until he threw in a monkey wrench during the last hour to kill it. That part is not in dispute.
