Frustrating Tigs

high strike zone

Whenever the national networks small time the Tigers we seem to do really well. We are a proud ancient franchise. Burn all those down who disrespekt us!

Spent the Tiger game and the immediate aftermath taking my company's anti-bribery and anti-corruption training. Jeeez...what a weird thing to take during this administration. Learned all about how countries with extractive industries tend to be the leaders in this sort of thing. Oh really?! Meanwhile, Trump is selling meme coins and LIV golf is on the White House lawn and Jared Kushner is banking all manner of cash from the gulf states. And so, to avoid the pedo charges, Trump gets a headline today that isn't about what a corrupt pedo he is. I forget what kind of corruption that is, is that a kickback? Is that fraud?

I guess those mickeys that JD Vance has been putting in Trump's diet cokes are having their effect.

Concur, its been a very good procedural. I am wondering if Eastern PA has a problem.

Freep has a convenient article on the Dan Dickerson calls of the surge and the final out. https://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2025/10/08/tigers-game-4-mariners-alds-dan-dickerson-radio-calls/86590707007/

I told my wife that if we hadn't won i would have sat in my darkened room clicking a light bulb on and off for the rest of the night.

Heard a story that checked out after a few quick googlings. Coworker who wears a lanyard with the name of a significant German firearms manufacturer (not Austrian) to work, so immediately suspect as a MAGA was telling me all about the protests he saw the other day while visiting a friend in Wash DC. He says the retirees from this neighborhood (Tenleytown in this instance) do what is called a cacerolazo. This is where they bang pots and pans to protest ICE in the neighborhood. Seems very similar to what was happening in the first arc of Andor. So, I learned that he was happy with the protests and not such a maga idiot.

MTG knows that her constituents even in FoxNews drenched reddest of red Georgia exurbs are not going to sit still for doubling of their premiums.

I'm glad we have artifacts like this to amuse us....

We have been waiting for this!

JARVY!!!

right

Its the entire hinge of if this team is going to win or not. We may be just good enough to get to this point or we may break through to actual WS contention. Its going to take resources. Jason and Dan keep telling us that is what this group are about...prove it by getting Skubal to sign on the line which is dotted.

Breakthrough!

You know they are thinking about the draft picks they get for losing him

It wasn't mid-season.

Maybe they tried and he said no already and that is why this team spiraled.

The number 1 thing this team needs to do this offseason...which will apparently start in about an hour and a half... Sign Skubal. Show everyone this is going to be a team in it for the long haul.

I'm doing company training in ethics because that is better use of my time than watching this game. Its making me want to chew off my own foot.

This has 1987 ALCS vibes.

Mariners are toying with us.

I wouldn't ever compare Trump to W's military service. That puts draft dodger next to a person who flew fighter planes. Al Gore was supposed to have had a guardian angel Vietnam tour where the Army had him in the safest possible postings because of his daddy. That crap was going on all over the place. When Barron Trump is subject to the draft when they start drafting for the ICE Army, you will see it again.

Pretty numb to this weird season already. Maybe its because with absolutely junk offense we are not going to be able to go any further than this even if we somehow did make the next round. Fix this. Maybe its more Matt Vierling and Parker Meadows. Maybe its telling Riley Greene he's not Babe Ruth.
