Oh, man, Dan Dickerson is off from today's game. Neither on radio or TV—maybe he has the vapors after the excitement of yesterday's comeback ... 😉

Holy ****, I had no idea! Now I hate MLB Network even more—although they did protect the fee-fees of Dodger fans, so maybe they are doing God's work after all ... https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2024/07/14/riley-greene-tarik-skubal-taking-detroit-swag-to-all-star-festivities/74401134007/

Sire ... if it was actually courage and not scripted ... 😉

That's because Republicans don't want to actually address and solve the mental health crisis, any more than they want to address and solve immigration issues, economic issues, street crime, the unhoused, or any of it. They need those issues to stay live and ever-present so they can campaign on them as well as use them as cudgels to smite Democrats.

So, how about that Project 2025? What? Too soon?

Get a load of the headline in that last one here.

I think that might have more to do with advances in Secret Service protection than it does about society's ability to compartmentalize and control gun violence.

The difference is that George Wallace never got 46% of any nationwide vote.

Give it today, tomorrow tops, and it will be the first two.

The so-called McStinky had a pretty cool moment in the clubhouse yesterday. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2024/07/13/tigers-upstage-shohei-ohtani-and-los-angeles-with-five-run-rally-in-ninth-giurshela-walk-off-in-10th/74394826007/ Zach McKinstry was still pumping his fists triumphantly in the clubhouse following the Tigers most incredible, most improbable 11-9, 10-inning walk-off win over the N.L. West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers Saturday at Comerica Park. How improbable? The Dodgers were 47-0 this season when leading after eight innings and they went into the ninth with a 9-4 lead. "Huh," McKinstry said. "That's cool. Now they're 47-1."

Yesterday’s was one of the greatest Tigers games I have ever seen in my life. I mean, come on, they were done.

How’re you gonna get ‘em to class when they’re spending their time at the bank?

30 Rock has a lot of race jokes—like, again, literally every episode. They even had four episodes pulled by Hulu because every one of them featured blackface, including one episode Oprah was in. This show was on NBC in the early 2010s, for crying out loud. I’m looking forward to her take on The Four Seasons.

If it’s fair game for sitting members of Congress to speculate that Biden s behind it, or somehow responsible for it, then I think it’s fair game for us to speculate that Trump faked the whole thing.

I heard about this from my brother on text and went to CNN to see them running the tape over and over, with his touching his ear, then going down in a very controlled manner, then standing up with the white power fist and the crowd cheering, and two words popped into my head: Bob Roberts.

Shoulda sold on Friday, man …

Threads enters the chat …

You know what else was 90's-like? 30 Rock. I'm rewatching it, and it's got a lot more identity jokes than I remember, like, literally every episode. No way that gets made today.

I'm pretty sure we'll leave him alone for the rest of this year.

No doubt! Talk about a momentum killer.

Multiple huge moments at the end there: The three hits to start the ninth; the Kelly single with two outs to keep the game alive; COLT ****ING KEITH jack on the first pitch; the awesome double play to strand the bases loaded in the top of the tenth; and Gio Urshela's walkoff. All in a space of less than half an hour. Who says baseball is boring!

I think the worst I ever said regarding Colt Keith was that it wasn't a genius move to draft him in the fifth round, but that comment wasn't about Colt Keith, either. But you're the one with the receipts, so I am eager to receive your slings and your arrows!

Oh. My. GOD!!! And on national TV! I wouldn't call this a coming out party, but DAMN IT FEELS GOOD TO BE A GANGSTER!

I approve the sacrifice bunt in this specific situation: tie game, no outs, bottom of the winning inning. All the rest of them can go to hell.
