Two things. First, Dirks is over-the-moon thrilled that his McGonigoogles comment has taken hold (as he should be). Second, the Petry version they showed during the broadcast was pathetic. No wonder Andy, Jason and Daniella don't invite him to do fun things.

Is JV starting this game?

They invited him fishing but only to use him for his boat.

I think they gave Petry boring goggles as part of the routine.  They like to tease him as the straight man.

He's starting for the Mud Hens on Wednesday, much to my family's delight.

Melton is starting.  Verlander is pitching another rehab game.

When Petry was a kid, he had a choice of working on his pitching or working on his funny. I don’t blame him for his choice.

I agree.

If anyone has watched the rain delay questions segment, Petry is at the end of the phot introductions and is the only one with a nickname tagged to him.  I think he has a role among the group as the comic foil, or something along those lines.

I heard his next start for Detroit will possibly be in Houston. A rehab start tomorrow in Toledo to build up endurance. Hopefully, his body responds in a positive manner.

How is gametime weather looking?   Tigers need a retractable roof.  Not because of fears of the weather but because it will express dominance over it.

Today is "florida weather".  Hot, muggy, with a chance of flash storms.  Don't see a washout though.  Maybe a delay, especially if there's lightning.

In August 1988, my wife and I drove from Idaho to Detroit to visit some native Detroiters who’d spent a few years in Idaho then moved back.

The humidity was beyond anything I could remember, even in Northeast Indiana where I’d grown up. I quickly learned that taking a dip in their swimming pool would cool down my core body temperature for the day and make the heat tolerable, but on the days when I didn’t do that, it was true suffering.

Got to see Jack Morris spin a 3–0 CG shut out of the Rangers at Tiger Stadium, the first game I’d seen there since the 5th game of the World Series in 1968.

Aug of 88 was an especially hot summer. I remember it well.  I played baseball in a travel league and also had soccer practices that started in mid august. It was rough. I had a paper route and recall one day with the headline “104” which was the temp the day before 

[oblong]

Based on the radar they may start this one later?

[Sports_Freak]

Looks like it should clear up by 9:30 or so. I dont wanna start and burn Melton by a long delay.

[Tigermojo]

Mize starting for Lakeland. 

[IdahoBert]

Just as well. My son and I are going to see Backrooms at the local completely refurbished and updated Regal on $6 Tuesday. He’s already seen it and he’s worried that I’m too much of a pussy to deal with it. I’ll show him! …. 😗 this game should be starting just about the time we’re getting out.

Daniella is brightening up the booth for rain delay questions.

One perk of traveling for work regularly is that I’m occasionally in Detroit on game nights

Driveyway is soaked right now.   9.5 miles as the crow flies from Comerica Park.

For the next 10 days in Boise, Idaho, the weather is supposed to be sunny and in the 70° - 80° range with 24% humidity and light winds making it feel cooler… Just sayin’….

[monkeytargets39]

Right now it’s not raining at the park but the employees are talking about them evacuating the stands for shelter in place.  Dunno if this one is happening
