I am not interested in calling guys up from the minors whom the organization believes require proper seasoning to play at an MLB level consonant with The Tigers’ Way. I’m not interested in acts of desperation derived from frustration.
Also today May 18, 2026 - is National No Dirty Dishes Day, National HIV Vaccine Awareness Day, National Cheese Soufflé Day, National Smile Day, ... so let’s spend our day smiling no matter what.
I do have that jacket which my wife bought me for Christmas in 1987 shortly after we moved to Boise Idaho. We got it at an ordinary sporting good store on the outskirts of town where we lived. The Tigers were a BFD back then, even in the backwaters far away from Detroit. I have to admit that the jacket fits me a tad bit tight these days.
Valdez, and if you don’t have Sportsnet or mlb.tv, this game is apparently on FS1. I can’t say I’m actually looking forward to it. My enthusiasm has waned a tad bit.
I’m not sure why I’m torturing myself watching this game… I think I’ll go back to watching the Matt Smith era of Doctor Who, which is something that makes me happy instead of something that makes me sad.
I forgot this was the “free game of the day“ because of an extended grasp of Mother’s Day.
Even the local strip club in Boise, Idaho is getting into the extended Mother’s Day routine. On their marquee today the Torch Lounge said “Happy Mother’s Day, supporting single moms since 1997.“ It’s funny and there’s an unhappy irony about it as well.
