That’s how I viewed the tigers “collapse” in 2009. Meaning I didn’t see it as such. They were an average team. The twins got very hot

I could listen to him read bread recipes

In terms of biggest lead, yes. But you can also measure the games left vs games ahead metric too. as a bright spot I am not discounting the 16-1 run Cleveland went on. Sure the Tigers have done themselves in but this collapse deserves to have some credit given the Cleveland ball club.

Same narrator as other films by Burns? Peter Coyote.

Not only are they incredibly insensitive to any form of criticism they appear to be filthy slobs savages.

Yeah you need to knock this **** off. No need to call him a POS. He’s criticizing the fundraising of this. This comment is totally unwarranted.

Skubal this off-season

Longing for the dignity and integrity of…. Jeff Sessions.

Ain’t nothing a 6-2 finish to the season won’t cure.

Wow so you are a stalker too? Thats good info to have. I didn’t realize there were rules about time frames and the order in which posts get responded to. I must have been out sick that day in internet school. What you need to understand is there was no “attacking you again”. You are not a victim. You directly called me a dumb **** for questioning the foundation of your argument so I responded in kind. Don’t throw **** if you can handle it being thrown back at you. That just makes you look weak and feeble.

Put another way… if the chair of the FCC didn’t say what he said… is there any action by the affiliates? I don’t think so

Musk tried to say when advertisers were leaving twittter.

I've gotten a lot of free chick fil a sandwiches this year, including 2 that I never redeemd as I didn't know there was a time limit. If you are at the game and they score 5, open the app with location services on and they give you the reward.

I don't mean it in the sense of predicting playoff success. I agree it's a crapshoot and all of that. Just more about the vibe at the current time and enjoying the end of a great season. It's hard to not think of this team not having a bye in the first round as a failure given where they were during the season.

That is not something I would have expected in a million years. So much so that I expect him to walk it back. If he doesn't then good for him. That's what Trump's people are doing. Making me agree with Thomas Massie and Ted Freaking Cruz.

He thinks I called him a nazi. Which I did not do. I said his argument/reasoning was not far from those used by Nazis, which is definitely not the same thing as calling someone nazi. It's pointing out the ridiculousness of the foundation of the argument. He responded by calling me a dumb ****. I don't care to carry it on any further. We're big boys here. I don't need macho talk about balls and big boy pants like I'm in middle school.

I didn't get nervous until about a week or so ago when I either read here or somewhere else about having 6 games with Cleveland.

any runners here? I'm training for my third free press half marathon, and fifth half overall, and while I love the heat and hate cold weather, this heat is killing training programs. So many running friends have evolved into "Whatever.... " when it comes to expectations. This year was especially bad with the Canadian wildfires this summer.

That's the highs and lows and would not be surprising. This is the first stress I've felt during this team's run going back to Aug of last year. Last year was fun. It was all gravy. They cinched the playoffs on a friday so even though it was close standing wise, those Sat/Sun games against the Sox didn't matter. Even losing to Cleveland didn't sting as they took them to 5 games and afterwards it was still satisfying. This year's team just consistently won series after series and built up this huge lead. Nothing to worry about. I always viewed success this year as being in a competitive ALCS. I'd have been content with that. I wouldn't bet $50 on them making it to the ALCS let alone it being competitive.

I saw a thing that said if the Tigers don't win the division it will be the biggest blown lead in history? Is that right?

I get it. You play 162 and it shakes out the way it shakes out. Games in late Sept. are the same as games in Mid June. My use of the phrase is more about the excitement level of charging up vs falling down. It takes the steam out of the excitement when after a big lead you are losing and have to rely on other teams losing to guarantee your spot instead of keeping the momentum. It's been an uninspired week so far and going from a first round bye to probably getting bounced out in 2 games like HOU last year puts a big damper on what's been a great 56 weeks of baseball for our team.

Today is the 3 year anniversary of his hiring

it's just about making bosses happy and is completely above board... at least that's what this dumb **** was told but I caution against listening to what degenerate gamblers have to say about things.

I do too. I brought it up before and it was said Dickerson said it works more often than not. I don't see it.

All 4 of us are going tonight and Sunday. I'm totally deflated. It's been fun going to games for over a year now. the team is going to, at best, back into the playoffs and lose 2 games to a WC team. Oh well. That's what we sign up for as fans. This is going to kill their ticket sales for next year. Playoff tickets went on sale this week. Luckily they don't charge us until they actually make it and it's only 30+% per round. This week was so depressing. I knew yesterday's game was gone when of course they ran into an out by going on contact from 3B when the infield in.
