I have season tickets so they asked us if we wanted playoff tickets too. We picked them last week and they said they’d charge us 30% when a home game became guaranteed and will do so every round they win. Better than what they did before when we had to pay for the whole shebang in mid August.

Blame the baseball writers who vote for that. It’s not baseballs fault. Those guys technically didn’t break the rules. But the same knuckleheads that didn’t vote Lou Whitaker in did what you describe.

Seriously… after they went down 2-1 it seemed inevitable. That’s the kind of comeback that shows a different team. It can’t be chalked up to luck.

They literally just charged my card a moment ago.

I’ve never been happier to have my CC charged $900. baseball on my birthday next week. So much for wanting Baltimore.

Guess Hinch knows what he’s doing again.

The way Hinch manages means he will always be second guessed when they don’t make the plays.

I can’t watch with the audio like this. You hear before you see

Is he gonna finish it? We could see a legend in the making right now.

Don’t know if they meant just Detroit proper as to distinguish between the Detroit area but he went to Wayne State and there’s nice housing there. Also corktown and west village. Boston Edison and Indian village may still be out of his price range… for now. But there’s plenty of places in Detroit for a young white guy to fit in.

According to Dan he makes his offseason home in downtown Detroit.

people that have to let us know every single time they are at the aiport.... and bonus points for those who have to emphasize they are in the Delta Club.

So here's some useless trivia for you. In the movie Apollo 13, Jim Lovell, played by Tom Hanks, the mega star, says "Houston we have a problem". In reality this is how it played out and what the quotes were. Jack Swigert, "Ok, Houston, we've had a problem here" Then the CAPCOM asks him to repeat what he said, then Jim Lovell comes on and says "Ah, Houston.... we've had a problem". Similar to Empire Strikes Back and the I am Your Father quote that is misquoted. Carry On.

I agree. Bar was low. He didn’t hurt himself. Walz has nowhere to go but down so he couldn’t help himself and JD didn’t really hurt himself all that much. The only potential sound bite from this evening is about Mike Pence.

This debate is boring….

And someone will bitch about it. People complained last year when there were so many “upsets”.

The last time we felt like this was game 1 of the 2013 ALCS. Since then it's been catch up. This might be the high point of the season... and I'm ok with that.

Now I am nervous. That’s the kind of thing to fire up a team.

Do you bring him back?

I don't know how much success he'll have but I like that this is being pushed and we can get some heat on the league's association with gambling.

Chris Sale left off Atlanta's roster... I thought his issues yesterday was a ruse.

This is weird. I'm working from home and have it on both TV's. In the TV in my office, I use a roku streaming stick and the Xfinity app, no cable box, but I can hear the TV in the main room. There's different commercials between the ABC on the box and the ABC on the streaming stick, both being Xfinity broadcasts. Maybe the box is market specific and the stick is generic.

There’s hardly anybody there it looks like. I heard cheers for AJ and the other Tigers.

agree. All of my bashing on Pete is centered around his gambling on baseball and the reds and his lack of contrition and remorse and repeated denials. I don't think about the other stuff. Not dismissing it but I don't have the energy or desire to litigate every famous athlete or entertainer's behavior.
