I stopped caring and now I care again. I am easy. I am such a tramp.

It was a kitchen fire just like my building behind this one when it burned down seven years ago, somebody left something on the stove and everything caught fire.

I heard a lot of noise and commotion out my front door, but I have no windows in the living room facing the front so finally, there was such a clatter I decided to go out and there were eight fire engines in front and flames pouring out of the apartments on the far end.

so I got interrupted by the fact that the four apartments on the far end of my apartment building caught fire. The top two were gutted out and the bottom two are probably going to be condemned. I didn’t suffer any damage, but I don’t have any water working, which is a drag. Seven years ago my building which is directly behind this one burned down, but once again, my half of the building didn’t suffer any damage. So I guess you could say I’m “lucky.“

He never wanted to join us here for some reason.

Hmmm… I’m kind of late to the party, but I guess I’ll start watching season one of Andor because my best friends tell me it’s pretty great.

How many hams could a hamstring pull if a hamstring could pull hams?

Detroit Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter is dealing with right hamstring tightness, which caused him to be scratched from the team's lineup on Wednesday, June 4, 2025. Key details: Injury: Right hamstring tightness/soreness. Status: Scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game. Availability: Listed as day-to-day, but available to pinch hit in the game. Previous issues: This is not the first time Carpenter has experienced hamstring issues. Reason for scratching: To avoid a more serious injury. Replacement in lineup: Wenceel Perez started in right field and batted fifth. The extent of the injury is unclear, but the Tigers are hopeful it is minor and for precautionary reasons. They expect to have more clarity on his status after Wednesday's game.

As expected Smith was the odd pitcher out he’s not on the roster anymore. I wish him luck and look forward to his eventual return.

Crap Carp, that’s bad.

Indeed.

In the last few years, I’ve always completely ignored the way the Tigers MLB site pestered me to “vote the straight party ticket“ and try to get the whole team into the All-Star game. “Back in the day“ of MTS I remember voting 100 times to get <cough> Bonderman on to the AL All-Star roster and a part of me has never forgiven myself for drinking that Kool-Aid. I don’t know if I will bother doing it now that things are different or not. It seems fruitless. The idea that a person who thinks Verlander left the Tigers to get a big free agent contract has a vote equivalent to my own appalls me.

I think we’re going to need a driveway report or a front stoop report to keep us advised of the weather.

I just checked and Sawyer is on the roster, but nobody has been taken off the roster and right now at least on the MLB site the Tigers have 27 players which can’t be right. Maybe I caught it moments after it happened and they haven’t taken whomever they’re taking off the roster.

He’s not on the roster yet, but this might just be a formality that occurs just before the game.

At 10:11 AM Gipson-Long still not on roster I expect after last night Smith would be sent down, but what the heck do I know…

I guess it’s raining right now in the morning but it’s supposed to stop and there’s a 51% chance of rain for a while right around game time so hopefully they get the game in and nobody slips on the grass and falls down, and gets a boo-boo.

I don’t think I’m going to bother to watch Tigers live post game tonight.

I hope Sawyer Gipson-Long can toss a 77 pitch no hitter tomorrow.

This is not our night. When that became apparent to me, I went to In-N-Out to get a shake and a fry and it was backed up 25 minutes at least so I went to McDonald’s and got a shake and a fry and it sucked and now we’re losing 8-1 which if my math is correct is worse than when I left.

Some bad luck leads to White Sox possibilities.

4-0 Sox
