How about the effort by Maeda today? So far, three innings, no runs, one hit, no walk, five strikeouts. It's a good first step to working his way back into the rotation. Or maybe he has found his new home?

First and second, no out, bottom of the fifth. It's pretty well-known the Dodgers' pitching is their Achilles' heel, and they will make a move to address it, which might put Flaherty in play for them.

But what does the anemometer on your driveway say?

People can talk about why can't we all just get along all they want, but nothing is going to change until government steps in and passes laws and regulations and/or establishes incentives for people to get off social media and get together face to face. Because as things currently stand, we the people are not going to just change our behavior en masse as if by zeitgeist, and the corporations behind the social media apps have no incentive to restrain usership in any meaningful sense.

It's a problem that one side has the vast majority of the guns, and I don't believe they obtained those just to hang them up in the den so they can gaze at them and admire them.

Brieske's BABIP is soaring ...

Is it super windy in Detroit today? Because the Perez drop did not seem like a five-star catch opportunity.

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 …
