Tying run to the plate, after being down seven runs late! Don’t go to sleep on these Tigers!

If Schoop can hit another bomb here that would make the game a lot more interesting.

Oh, so that’s what a Tork homer looks like!

He looks like the second coming of Harold Castro.

I remember TWIB coming on channel 4 as soon as Saturday cartoons finished up for the morning.

Next step: Required Carry. You watch. 😏

How about the city of Detroit? Do it at Belle Isle? Just throwing the idea out there, I have no skin in this game.

"Particularly men ... ... because men are predators."

CNN story says "the attack is not being investigated as an act of terrorism", so the perp must not be Muslim. Unless he is identified upon capture as Black Muslim, at which point it will be very much investigated as terrorism.

Jesus, did the Tigers have early dinner reservations or something? Six pitches in the seventh, six pitches in the eighth, twelve pitches in the ninth. Twenty-four pitches in three innings, nine up, nine down. That’s what teams who are dead on their feet do. oh well … come back and win the series tomorrow.

Or put a VPN on your router and set it for New York. 😁

Maybe it was a mistake for Putin to allow Russians to have achieved substantial gains in real income over the past decade or so, because maybe now they feel they have more to lose. In the days of Communist serfdom and widespread privation, they had practically nothing, so they nothing to lose by going to fight a war.

I remember when you were a proponent of the Electoral College. You and I tangled on that issue a few times some years ago on the old board. I'm glad to see we're on the same side now. 👍

How likely is it that the augmentation strategy depends on sheer numbers, the way their Eastern Front strategy against Germany did? Might Putin be thinking, who cares if a million, two million, five million Russian soldiers die, we have plenty in reserve and we will emerge victorious through attrition?

Well, that save was exciting, wasn’t it!

He likes benches more than bases. 😝

And that is another big reason we got Javy on the team!

Oops wrong thread

Another one-two-three inning. Manning has 68 pitches of one-baserunner ball through six. Not long ago he would have been on a solid track for a compete-game victory. But it’s 2022, so, good chance he’s coming out right now. That’s kind of a shame if so.

I don't know exactly why they are talking to some college basketball rando on the Tiger telecast and I really don't care, but I sure am glad I have the radio overlay on so I can listen to Dan and Jim instead.

OK, boomer. 😏

In 111,223 games spanning 1970 through 2020, the team that got more hits won 79,580 times, for a winning percentage of .715.

Welp ... J.D.

Yeah, I don't know. I'm just spitballing on this one, based on my long-past experience in the business, but maybe that part has to do with carriage deals RSNs like Bally have with various cable companies. Maybe they just can't sell it direct because that would violate the basic agreement they have not only with major like Comcast, Spectrum, WOW et al, but also with entities like ATI in Kalkaska, or Northside in iron Mountain, or Sunrise Cable in Onaway, or hundreds of other small town cable companies that also depend on the attraction that is Tiger games on Bally Sports to keep their subscriber numbers high enough to stay in business. Allow MLB.tv to sell local games, and their businesses are put in jeopardy as well, and it's probably just too complicated to properly and fairly compensate all the local cable companies for that loss. Please understand I too would like blackouts to go away. I'm simply trying to explain the business angle of why the local blackout is in place and why they do not want to allow anything to bypass that.

12 up. 12 down. Manning.
