Pre-open futures just fell through that.

Diesel fuel up $0.41/gal. Which gets added to just about every single thing you buy.

Oil at $85 and Market futures down another 1%. So much winning.

the analysis makes all kinds of sense, but a team that is as dedicated to handedness as the Tigers is going to give a SW every benefit of the doubt in the choice.

6 hrs. Tick..tick...tick.

Perez's can make good plays, but the consistency of his concentration level as a fielder has left something to be desired. Vierling has not graded particularly well as a CF. If neither Javy or Meadows can hit enough to stay in the lineup the team is going to suffer it.

Does give them another RH shot. Don't how much one can expect from a 37yr old journeyman though 17 1/2 hours of hope left, dwindling fast.

I think one of them is going to get a lot PA though because I don't really see a reasonable CF choice for that ballpark beyond those two unless Clark shows up early in the season. BTW - what are we calling it now that Comerica is in the corporate dustbin? Are they really going with the completely non-sensical '5th/3rd' moniker? There won't be an out of town announcer that recites that with a straight face.

back in the day there was a word for that that has pretty much disappeared : Stalking Horse.

Or you can look at the most recent indicator - last season when Baez was 60 pts better. It comes down to including the year Baez was injured vs including the year Parker was injured so it can be sliced and diced anyway as desired. Why I am less optimistic about Parker is that he came back and had no discernible upward trend as he moved away from the injury (one 5 hit series against the Yankees in Sept was about it) and he has followed that up with an ice cold spring that he can't afford to be having.

going to be interesting to see if the S&P closes below ~6800 tomorrow. Trend says yes, but that's been a support point for all of the dips in '26 so far.

"The myth that digital civilization floats above heavy industry is, in this scenario, extinguished. Compute is shown to rest on copper, transformers, stable voltage, LNG, and ships" Best quote in the piece. Civilization is not linear, it's cumulative. The things that were before don't go away, they continue to underpin what is now.

I think Perez is sort of erratic as an OF, but maybe the Tigers don't agree. Javy could certainly hit (or fail to hit) himself out of regular playing time, and a platoon is always possible, but my original post was premised on Meadows showing so little stick the decision to send him down is unambiguous.

35K registered voters in the county, so basically nobody cared about this election - or Dems didn't care marginally less than Repubs.

Thinkpads have a shutters on their cameras, desktops don't have cameras built in. Tape is handy otherwise.

Parker is screwed anyway because when McGonigle makes the team, Javy goes to CF.

Houston was a company town for all of its early years. The oil biz still has a big presence there, and that's a lot of professional, engineering and scientific types who should be the ones telling their neighbors the truth who have made the deal to self-censor (or self-delude) themselves for their paychecks.

be hard for it not to be.

right. NYC will always be the center of the world to him and he will always crave approval there.

the guy who just stepped down as University Pres at U Montana also filed as an independent - apparently with Jon Tester's backing.

Left Oblique strain for Hao Yu Lee. See Yu Mai - maybe.

Houston and Atlanta are also both minority majority cities, but in Houston the largest group are Hispanics, In Atlanta Af-Am.

I saw Ras make exactly one useful play in his ice time tonight. I also saw guys repeatedly skating around him as he waved at them going by on rushes. I'd love to hear McLellan or Yzerman tell us what it is he's doing that we apparently aren't seeing that forms the reason he's getting regular ice time. He has maybe one game every two weeks where he actually looks like an NHL player.

if true, tactical foolishness for Iranians to waste a ballistic missile against one the least likely places for it to succeed. But when the enemy screws up, you take it.
