2 down. Crowd rises to feet.

Throw in a province or two to make your spree truly epic and internationally exotic.

Skubal is coming back out.

Have the Tigers in their 125 year history ever won a game before 2pm ET?

9Ks and 72 pitches through 7, Skubal is nipping this losing streak in the bud.

Perfect game and no hitter gone, but at 59 pitches through 6 a complete game shutout is still in play for Skubal.

Agreed. Really doesn’t translate well.

A Skubal perfect game victory would take off some of the sting of the first 3 games of the series.

Game starts in 20 minutes. I didn’t realize the Tigers had a European game this season.

And how were the nachos this time?

I've seen about 25 Springsteen concerns over the past 40 years in various cities across Canada and the U.S. as well as in France. Have been to Asbury Park too. I'd suggest starting with the Born To Run album front to back. If you like that, I can give you a whole bunch of directions to jump into. If you don't like that, you'll at least be now familiar with what is considered by most (not all) to be his greatest album and four of his best-regarded songs (Born to Run, Thunder Road, Backstreets, Jungleland). As for politics, it doesn't make me think either more or less of him, I'm there for the music only, but I have found that at the concerts at which he makes a 1 minute rant against GWB in 2004 or now Trump in Europe 2025 it tends to bring the vibe in the arena down compared to when he doesn't.

The way the Panthers have dismantled the Canes in the first two games, the Leafs should conclude that they are not that far away after all and should make no changes at all. Just keep doing what they’ve been doing.

Are the teams even "gritty" this year? To me, that indicates a team that grinds out close wins, outperforming their talent. Not sure that's the case given the strong starting rotation, the tons of runs they're scoring, and the number of games they've won decisively. I'm not saying they're going to win 107 games, but I think 95 is a solid target right now.

Wild, Denmark scores two goals in final 3 minutes to knock out Canada 2-1 in the world quarterfinals. Good for hockey!

1993 is my guess too. The 1988 team started 29-21 and finished 88-74, in 2nd place one game behind Boston (not as close as it sounds - Boston had a big lead when they clinched). The 1988 team had the 4th best record in the AL so would have made the playoffs under expanded formats of later years. The 1971 team only started 27-23 but went on to a 91-71 finish for 2nd well behind Baltimore and the 3rd best record in the AL. The 1969 team only started 27-23 but went on to finish 90-72, which was a whopping 19 games behind AL East winner Baltimore but was the 3rd best record in the AL.

Series win against what had been a red-hot St. Louis team. 4-2 road trip. Tigers can do little wrong.

Big strikeout.

Ibanez’ reaction to getting hit seemed to be delayed by a split second but then it really sting him.

I change my opinion then. Only watched it once not paying close attention

Tork gets called out on the basepaths for the 2nd time today. I don’t blame him this time though.

10:15am for me. I like the quicker game times of the past couple of years, but when you combine that with what has become common 6:40pm ET start times, games are ending by 6pm my time, which seems really early. When since the 1950s have so many MLB games been done by 9pm ET. I think in the 1970s games at Tiger Stadium didn't even start until 8pm.

Cards announcer on Greene's hit: "There goes the no-hitter for Pallante". That was suspenseful.
