I’ll be there with my son sitting right behind the visitors’ dugout.

The opposing pitcher has an ERA of 7.15 and little experience at the major league level. Go figure. I no longer know what to expect or to believe.

The Tigers hit bottom (we hope) three Saturdays ago, July 26. With 56 games still to go, the Tigers' division lead had shrunk to 7.0 over Cleveland, they were 3.5 games behind Toronto who led the AL, and they were 0.5 games behind Houston for the bye into the ALDS.

Since then the Tigers have gone 11-6 and, apart from losing a mere 0.5 game in the standings to Cleveland and neither gaining nor losing ground with Seattle, have gained on everyone else with now only 39 games to go. The Tigers have picked up: 3.0 games on Toronto; 2.5 games on Houston; 1.5 games on Kansas City; 4.0 games on Minnesota; 3.0 games on New York Yankees; 0.5 game on Boston; 5.0 games on Texas; and 5.0 games on Tampa.

Thanks for this. There’s a reason that reason itself is hailed as useful in combating despair and irrationalism.

It's raining in South Minneapolis now. Supposed to rain off an on throughout game time, possible thunder and lightning. Likely be a wet one. Hope they get it in

[papalawrence]

Big ol downpour that's slowing. Forcast changed to one downpour, then should be ok by game time.

I’ll be honest, I’d’of never guessed they were close to 11-6 in the last few weeks.

it should be clear at game time but future radar showing another storm forming by 9:00 central. Don' get behind in this one....

Just a couple minutes ago, my yahoo weather app said there was a severe thunderstorm to worry about around 7 PM local time as well as a flash flood warning, and 90 seconds later when I looked back at the app, they had removed the flash flood warning. So that’s progress.

Trust no-one. I lived in Minneapolis for all of 3 yrs. In that span we had 2 "100 year" rains.

They're winning 1-run ballgames against sub-.500 teams. So yeah, the 11-6 feels a bit "soft". But still, the wins count in the standings. 

[Shinzaki]

Rain delay?  What's Daniela wearing?

[IdahoBert]

It’s Dan with Andy tonight. 

[IdahoBert]

Raining again. 

[Edman85]

I don't recognize the radio pxp voice? It isn't Gania.

[Netnerd]

Rain. Keeps clearing off and rebuilding. Looks like rain will clear out soon. Now would be nice. 

[IdahoBert]

So confident they did the anthem. They had the pitchers warming up, but nope.

[IdahoBert]

So is Dan too serious to do the fooling around rain delay banter thing?

Is there a high school football game on FS2 Jason needs to call tonight? 

[lordstanley]

The Brewers are amazing. When the Reds jumped out to an 8-1 lead after 2 innings, you’d think surely tonight is when Milwaukee’s 12-game winning streak comes to an end. Not so fast. 4th inning now, 8-8.

Tarp is coming off

[chasfh]

See that big red splotch? That’s due to pass through Minneapolis around 10pm Central. Think they’ll wait until then to do first pitch?
