I hope Yzerman doesn’t congratulate Colorado.

Wright goes to Seattle. If I were him I’d prefer that situation over Arizona!

I really thought that trade could have been Yzerman trading up

Trade!

Nemex #2. I hope there is a nasty false rumour going around about Wright for next half hour until he drops to #8.

My first thought was that Jersey should be entertaining offers.

Very.

Wow, Slafkovsky #1

Sweep!

Dan’s call of the final out. Tigers Sweep Guardians Series.m4a

Tigers are 24-24 since the 9-23 start. Since then they’ve lost 2.5 games in the standings to Minnesota, lost 0.5 game in standings to Cleveland, gained 1.0 game in standings to Chicago and gained 5.5 games in standings on KC.

Doubleheaders.

Unassisted out for Pitchin’ Harold to end it.

Dan Dickerson calls it ridiculous, thinks should let teams have way more pitchers this year.

Wahoo!!!

Who the hell is Garrett Hill?

And the MLB.com app on my iPad and iPhone are both a day behind on the audio. When I click in the audio link in Gameday, it goes to yesterday’s archived game instead

Here is something surprising I just looked up. After his first 4 full MLB seasons through 1981, 531 games, Whitaker had a career total of only 12 home runs (fewer than Paredes has hit so far this season, ha). Ended his career 14 years later with 244.

That would actually answer Ronz’’s original question, if that was last time. Some more I found about my game which is neat but doesn’t answer Ronz’s original question.

Boom. Not quite right but not bad considering it was 35 years ago. Tigers trailed 8-5 going into the bottom of the 9th vs Baltimore on Sunday June 28, 1987. Grubb homered. Up next: Nokes homered. Then Madlock with his 3rd homer of game to tie it! Tigers scored a run in the 11th to win it. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/DET/DET198706280.shtml

I saw a back to back to back HR sequence for a Tigers walkoff win at Tiger Stadium. I believe Bill Madlock was involved. Pretty sure it was a Sunday afternoon. July? 1987?

Reyes, Riley rock Royals! Walkoff win, wow!

Burning question: Do the Song Girls travel? I can picture them on the sidelines at Michigan or Iowa on nippy October days.

This topic is of interest to me. I grew up religious (Catholic schools, Catholic sacraments/family milesones), drifted away like many do in their 20s, verged on hostile in my 30s (one priest-child sex abuse scandal hit pretty close to home, although not directly on me or immediate family), started finding myself drawn back in my 40s after my father died and our daughter hit school age and then... two years ago started grad school on a p/t basis. I'm currently halfway through a Master's degree in Theology, on pace to graduate June 2024. Whether you love religion, hate it, or are somewhere in between, hard to argue that religion hasn't been "important" throughout human history. I find it very interesting. In fact, have a term paper due tomorrow in which I pick apart the Vatican's deal with the Communist Party of China. Take one course at a time. Last term was a course focused only on the letters of St. Paul and my exigesis paper was a 10-pager on one sentence in 2 Corinthians.
