Finnegan finds his groove after the walk to Machado.

maybe it was....

What plate coverage, Peralta couldn't get it past him in, out, up or down.

Tork swung at a pitch he could hit but he didn't.

LOL - IFH.

Just a freaking fly ball Riley.

Colt with a new bat waggle

gleyber is late on the FB but stays alive to walk.

what is this, 2006? Don't we have a pitcher than can play his position?

Perez might have for that matter.

Colt says "I've got a glove too you know"

Bad throw happens to be into the runner and Tork is out...😡

Carpenter and Greene picking up right where they left ST,

let's not go 0 for the season Kerry.

Kerry needed to get there sooner to make a better throw there.

yeah - nice play by Tork goes for naught.

well, he wasn't fooled

thrill seeking behavior? Death wish? The big crash that messed him up the first time was pretty nuts, no sane person would have been trying to take the turn he did.

Probably not much because he hasn't read anything this long since Penn, if he ever even did then.

Yup - I remember a long interview with Yzerman when he took the job and the concept he laid out was to bring in talent no older than Larkin and to have a cup challenging team while Larkin was still in relatively prime production. He clearly thought at the time he could pull off a gradual build without going any further down. 20/20 as they say...

Ok, it was 4.

The markets are in freefall - down 9% so far (that > $5 trillion in lost equity), WIT is back up to $99, the Strait is still closed, the mullahs are still in charge, US munition stocks are depleted, and NYT reports that now Trump is bored with the whole affair. So much winning.

I can't wait to see how the Dems somehow snatch defeat from the jaws of victory here.

who said anything about evil genius? He's just a guy who his father picked to run things because he had shown himself to be at minimum the pick of the litter, who has spent his life around the management of professional sports, who has managed over a decade now not to muck up a multibillion dollar operation at LC/Olympia so I think the default assumption that he has some idea he knows what he doing is actually pretty strong. If you talk about evidence, what evidence is there to the contrary? He's brought in an apparently excellent management team at the Tigers and he has a lot more history around hockey than baseball. It's always enjoyable to completely dismiss people as idiots - I do it mostly in the political forum myself, but there really is a lot more evidence CI is a competent person than for the contrary. One problem with the Wings is that they probably make money even missing the playoffs so there isn't enough pressure from that direction.

This is all true, but there is a big additional step between, "I'd love to have D Larkin as a teammate" and "I'd love to be on a team that's going to miss the playoffs just to play with D Larkin." 🤷‍♂️ The latter is going to weigh heavier than the former!
