The app on my phone says it should rain a little bit and then just be partly cloudy so that should be OK.

When is Riley is going to be back in the lineup?

I like the city connect jerseys. I think being against them is like being against rock ‘n’ roll in the late 50s and only liking smooth crooners from South Philly.

So even though Jason Beck announced it, I guess we won’t know who’s being sent down until the Tigers officially confirm it.

That seems right.

Jung and Sweeny called up.

Even though it’s a stretch I’m not going to rain on anybody’s parade because it’s hard not to feel hopeful when you see the glimmers of possibility we have. For too long, we’ve been like my early 1960s junior high history book that had pictures of Magellan‘s starving circumnavigating crew eating boiled shoe leather to stay alive. Because lately, we’ve been dining at the Andiamo Steakhouse and enjoying the long bar, which is a lot better than boiled shoe leather.

Positive thinking is a good thing thank you.

I wore my Tigers road jersey with Cabrera on the back and the number 24 to a social function just last night. Normal people out in the chilly diaspora who haven’t been captured by this sublime mania don’t get it and I don’t care. On rare occasion, I’ll run into a former Detroiter in Idaho and when they see this, their eyes light up and we share the divine charge. I know it sounds dumb, but that’s what it’s like. So I totally get what you’re saying.

Due to global warming?

Don’t really know where to put this right now, but here it is.

Been there done that often enough. Not in the seats, but despondent at home.

What a great series for the home crowd. A blowout and two late innings come from behind wins with both being “group efforts.” A lot to cheer about.

That’s a good post!

Thanks everybody for answering my Andy Dirks question. This is one of the many reasons this is still a great place to be.

According to my weather app, there’s rain in the forecast for all three games so I’m going to expect a lot of driveway updates from you people in the Detroit metro area.

This is almost good luck of biblical proportions, which is scary because there’s a lot of bad luck biblical proportion too, but still really awesome.

Good God! Amazing!

Why did Dirk’s career end so soon?

We need to score some runs so Kenta gets the win! 😃

This has been two extremely satisfying nights in a row. Tomorrow’s a day game and a bullpen game - again - from what I can tell. I don’t know how long they can keep this up. I think we expected to be smothered after the trade deadline but we’re 6-4 in the last 10 games and even split a West Coast road series. This ugly dog has some teeth. They’re actually pretty darn entertaining.

AJ won this game with moxie and no garbage cans. Progress!

Crazy like a fox….

Hinch is a genius to pull Rogers and play the numbers
