You might be right. The Tigers are better, we can all upon that, right?

That's good stuff. I'm moving you up the ranking of my favoritist MTFers.

But the Tigers need to win one more game than the Twins do from here on out. If Minnesota goes 9-0, ain't nothing the Tigers can do about it. Therefore, the Twins are ahead of the Tigers, there is no tie.

Carpe diem, morans.

The tiebreaker dictates that the Tigers are still behind the Twins right now. Essentially, there is no tie.

Well, I wouldn’t be opposed to it.

Yup. I would say any team could reasonably achieve a record of 3-6 through 6-3. I can’t remember any Tiger season like this. This has been simply incredible. At the beginning of the month, a majority of us probably just wanted the chase to go on for as long as possible, playoffs or not. But now the playoffs are right there, and I think there’s a bit of expectation now.

They ain’t sneaking in. They’re winning games and going to have the 3rd best wildcard record.

Nah, I don’t think it matters for this. If it were the 74th and final of the season, the asterisk would be make sense.

Oh crud, that’s right. For some reason I thought I counted Skubal as the last game starter.

I’ll be no fun. They aren’t in a tie. The Twins hold the tiebreaker. Therefore, the Twins are ahead of the Tigers by tiebreaker. If the season were to end, that’s the things would shake out. There’s still 9 games at hand. This race hasn’t been linear and may not be linear going forward. Keep that in mind. As long as at the end of the season the playoff invite goes to the Tigers, it won’t matter if they lose a game or two in Baltimore. And when they do clinch, let’s all gather in @Jim Cowan‘s yard and party like rock stars. I’ll bring some Moosehead.

That’s probably true for teams in a virtual tie or a game or two away from each other. I think at this point it can be useful to look at the history (past week, past month) to see how the game results have affected things.

Grump fart. I think some of the other colored tops look good.

The key is the long term deal which, if I remember correctly is nonexistent. Additionally, I wouldn’t want a long term deal with Guerrero. I don’t think he’ll age well.

Nah, politics is basically just a bag of crap. Kielbasa, the kielbasa from Stanley's Market, is the 8th wonder of the world. Kielbasa shouldn't suffer the indignity of a political post.

I'd throw in Kreidler. You gotta give to get. A fair trade has a little bit of pain on both sides.

Hold the **** up, something as holy and wonderful as kielbasa should be off limits in these discussions.

Just think about what that slide would look like after the exchange rate were applied, eh?

If I were Toronto's GM, I'd take it and run. If I were Detroit's GM, I'd hang up and block the phone number.

I don't see why it would be wrong to bring his family into. Or Melania Trump for that matter.

Separation of church & state?

Wow, I hadn't thought of this in that context. I've been thinking of how out of nowhere this has been and how that aspect of it compares to 2006. 35-5 is something we may never see again. That '84 team expectations. But when you line the totality of the expectations up with the output, when you look at how this team has juts completely come out of nowhere after selling off, 33-23 in the 2nd half where they were down to 2 SPs and some duct tape for a rotation is a heck of a run.

Oh no.....
