That’s awesome. My wife was watching TV today when that popped on. I’m the same age as you guys. I don’t recall seeing this movie, but I know I watched a bit of Father of the Bride 2 with my wife a month or so ago. So, I guess they were a bit older then. But the age thing does kind of trip me up every once a while. The guy that works for me is about the same age I was when I started at our place of employment. He was in high school after I started working there. Things like that.

They looked good at the corners on the radio. But Keith didn’t sound good on the one play.

Check out those pillars somewhat obstructing the view.

I think location of spring training sites comes into play. I think in general the Grapefruit League has a group of teams on the Atlantic side and a group of teams on the Gulf of Mexico side, and the Tigers, Blue Jays, and Braves in between the two coasts. I think to avoid too many cross state drives, the Grapefruit League is unofficially divided up into 2 or 3 pods where teams frequently match up with one another, and the occasional “out of pod” matchup occurs to fill out a daily schedule. So I think that’s why the Tigers frequently match up with the Yankees, Phillies, Blue Jays, and Braves, but rarely play teams like the Cardinals, Nationals, and Marlins. I could be absolutely dead nuts on, completely wrong, or somewhere in between the two on this. I could scour the interwebs and find a map of spring training sites to somewhat support my hall brained idea, but I’m kind of tired and definitely lazy.

But the complimentary crayons are nice.

56 players? The laundry machines and laundry attendants need the day off.

Honest question for the Christian Trumpers. Isn't empathy more or less one of the main tenants of the bible?

Trump.

Volume shooter.

I’d have laughed at anyone suggesting home court for a play in game. And here we are, home court for the first round is a legit possibility.

I think Stavenhagen mentioned on the Tiger Territory podcast that Maeda did indeed change up his off-season routine and included more bullpen sessions in response to his 2024 season. So, yeah, like you say, maybe he is simply at the end. But to his credit, he saw a need to change something and he made that change.

If Torkleson goes 3rd person, maybe that’ll unlock his potential?

So glad the adults are in charge….

I’m going to trademark Yo-yo Tariff Policy.

Dude…. I am playing CF today. I’m just playing CF over in LF today. Hey coach, look at me…. I can be ….. CF.

There snowflakes here today. I’d be happy riding pine at the Pirates ball yard today.

So, an acquaintance was telling me he bought a bottle of bourbon which was to honor President ####. He has not yet received it. He’s gotten a few messages about it being on its way but delayed for this reason or that reason or the other reason. He told me it’s gotten to the point where he’s ready to just cancel it (good luck with getting your money back). As he’s telling me this, I remember a few months ago when he tries to justify his vote for President #### by saying we all know he’s a con man, which I didn’t really understand how that benefitted his position. But I politely kept my mouth shut. Maybe if he updates me that he has lost his cash I’ll remind him that we all know he’s a con man and that’s just the cost of doing business in association of him.

Huh? This is ‘Merica. If I want something, forget John.

I would think if Vierling and Meadows are only going to be out for the short term, they’ll likely just go with Perez in CF, maybe with a waiver claim as a backup. I’m not sure Merrfield or Marte are CF options. Verdugo could be, but I wouldn’t think he’s a target unless they feel the need for a longer term option. Actually, Verdugo has played only 15 innings of CFthe past 3 seasons, all of which were last season. Alright, so maybe there’s just some short term in house patch work to get through a few weeks.

Is it too early to foresee foreign countries boycotting the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles with how our co-presidents are treating foreign policy?

If Rose is inducted, and I think we can all agree that based solely on his playing credentials he should be, it should be mentioned on his plaque that he was banned from baseball. Something along the lines of “bet in baseball and was inducted posthumously as a result”, but wordsmithed better than that. I agree that the proliferation of betting advertisements in sports is annoying/troublesome in general and extremely contrary to the rules of the sports personnel directly and the stated tagline about seeking help if one has a gambling problem. I don’t know you square that up. It probably doesn’t square up. It’s too easy to bet and there’s too much revenue for the sports to ignore from these partnerships. The toothpaste is out of the tube there.

I’ve heard NBA playoff games are now shown live rather than tape delay, but I’m not so sure about that.

What’s JaCoby Jones up to?

This is my initial thought. Is he in line for more play by play with the Pistons?

All our hopes and dreams are belong to them.
