Although to your point, a ten-run lead going into the ninth has never felt so tenuous.

Hopefully so have the Tigers.

You’re exaggerating. It’s at least 90%.

The difference between Meadows and Sweeney is that the former is a plus-plus defender and the latter is struggling in all aspects of the game.

Pocketing bribes? That’s my best off the cuff guess.

As well as any number of state houses that are only too willing to do Trump’s bidding and rush-gerrymander electoral maps before the mid-terms.

As of July, 2025. I don't think the Trump regime is done.

The striking out 125 times number is a clue, which basically eliminates just about every team from before 2005.

Oh my god a Gleybomb

So MAGA gets voted out, then they get splintered? Given their open intention to game the system to undermine democracy, that first part will be tricky enough.

I find it interesting that the same team, among the youngest in the majors, that we thought a month ago had finally found their footing in the big leagues is now thought to be irredeemably terrible and beyond repair. It’s possible might actually be irredeemably terrible and beyond repair after all—and no doubt, a few of the guys are on this roster right now are—and who knows, maybe we will end up having to blow up the whole team and start over. But I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt at the moment and choose to believe that for a lot of these guys, the guys who can be saved, this is more like a step in the maturation process. They’re learning how to manage themselves through horrible slumps like this, and I think the best of them will be better for it. We might even be using this specific opportunity to determine who to weed out going forward into next year, and even into October. 🤞🏼 This is a really hard stretch to go through, and it’s definitely hard to watch, but I’m not throwing in the towel quite yet.

Yes, three more All-Stars would definitely help. Of course, we already have six on the team, so …

And then we have a careful-what-you-wish-for situation?

They are already actively, openly undermining democracy to prevent March 2029, or January 2029, or January 2027 from taking place. And they have a lot more time to make a lot more progress.

He’s the guy we hoped Tork would be.

So tiresome.

I'm not sure this has been expressed here by anyone yet, but—this is literally the last chance, isn't it, that any of the criminal and illegal behavior that this guy has clearly engaged in, and clearly still engages in right out in the open, will take him down? I mean, seriously: once he gets away with everyone knowing he sexually abused little girls on a serial basis along with Epstein, and his voters are still accepting of that and supportive of him ... well, that's the end of the line, isn't it? What else is there? Literally nothing can stop him after this, can it? Or am I missing something here? Because we already know he shot someone on Fifth Avenue, right? So, obviously, murder won't do it. 😉 But really, this is the last stop on the line, and if the train doesn't stop here, then aren't we done for? Somebody talk me down from this.

Not for Nick Kurtz, apparently. 😐

Exactly. Trade for the future, not just for a band-aid.

Can the cash play outfield in Toledo?

And with a reported 300 gigs on files, you just know there are some icky, icky videos.

I don't think there's any "truth" at Roswell. I think there's as much chance of finding aliens there as there is finding ghosts there. But definitely the best thing Trump can hope for is that releasing something like a Roswell file will distract everyone from the Epstein file, but I think he'll go after frog-marching Obama for literally nothing as a distraction instead.

Why can’t we get rookies who perform even within shouting distance of this? The guy was in college 14 months ago.

Looks like everyone on the outside is reacting as though the last two weeks have been the Tigers’ true level as well.

That’s fine, the regime wants to make baseball “great” again, too, which I assume they would characterize as being 1890 through 1946.
