Drew Koch (are all Kochs delusional?) wrote that Tals Hill story, saying Mize or Olsen would start game 2 for us and that we had burned through a “ton” of relievers to finish game 1. Clueless on so many levels. I wonder if the Astros players felt the same sort of dismissive attitude, based on how they have historically succeeded so often. They may have thought they were playing the June Tigers, not the August/September/October Tigers. I recall Hader pulling out his batter chart to see how he should pitch to a Tiger (don’t remember who), as if he had slept through the pregame review for pitchers. On to Cleveland and victory!

That’ll do.

Yes, it would. Got an appointment in 38 minutes-was thinking I’d have plenty of time to get there after the game. Might have to catch the last bit on the phone. 🤞🏼

Well, as someone who braved the agony of bone spurs, he knows his combat injuries.

Whew, too much cortisol in my system right now. But yes! Yes! Yes!

Hoping he’s rusty after missing the last 5 games.

I thought Ben might be making a sly reference to Jake, another poster from back in the day. He liked to troll on Verlander being nothing special.

Following up on them using only LHP- then they intentionally walk Verling, who comes around to score on a wild pitch. It’s the Whitesux way.

Welcome home, Zakk.

Yeah, it was your doubt that spurred them. Sure.

No. Yes.

My son just got back from the White House. He was performing as part of the Marine Band in a celebration of the 25th anniversary of The West Wing. Sorkin and a lot of the cast/crew. He said it was a great event and he especially liked a brief Martin Sheen speech that was kind of Jed Barlett lite.

Yes, so painful to watch 😎

That Vance quote should be in ads. Although he is almost Trumplike in having so many FOS takes that choosing one is difficult.

Give it a rest, boss.

It’s a great day to listen to Jason call a game. in this case, the Ducks/Beavers game. 😎

Mmmm, bark…

I think it relates to the “don’t take him literally” BS. Cult members eat it up completely, on the fence voters may not see it as that far out, we see it as totally nuts.

Voters tend to have short memories. They remember food being cheaper back in the Trump presidency, but may have forgotten much of the chaos (particularly the voters who don’t pay much attention). So saying something we consider obviously crazy doesn’t just inflame the cult members, it points attention towards the nascent racist leanings of some outside the cult.

Thanks Romad, for the background info. I had always thought JD stood for Jumbo Dork, which really suited him.

This could go in several threads, dropping here.

Typical MSM story-the reporter was instructed not to ask the Haitian dude for cat recipes!!! It’s all rigged!

Let’s get that wall at the border with Haiti up ASAP!
