Reading the story, it does look like he actually did something good beforehand (stopping and intervening on a domestic violence incident he witnessed). People contain multitudes.

Back on ignore after this.

Yeah, I went back and read this and don't see how it is construed as a joke and not a poignant take on the right wing outrage machine.

Chas and I agree today with Cleveland and KC tied in the loss column, the Tigers would need to win outright since they haven't clinched the season series with Cleveland.

I didn't make a joke... Or I should say I wasn't trying to be funny so much as poignant. There's nothing funny about school shootings, but the outrage from the right directed at them does not scale with their outrage toward social issues in schools.

I doubt we see Melton in the rotation. As much as I think the science behind this is suspect, I think Melton's innings are being regulated.

Shades of Jarrod Washburn's disastrous Tigers stretch here with Paddack.

The number will go up a bit as long as Paddack gets 2 2/3 IP tonight and hits his 140IP incentive.

The CDC/vaccine stuff makes me beyond angry at anybody who supports this ****. Like I'm probably going to avoid people so I don't do something rash this weekend angry.

Actually, that's a lie. I have checked. I kinda want you to before holding him up as a mistake on the Tigers part for not overpaying.

How's Helsey doing with the Mets? I haven't checked.

They are winning and making money. I guess they haven't met the third goal of making an anonymous irrational fan happy, so they have failed.

Lol, "inability to acquire quality players." Were I a coffee drinker, I would have spat it out reading that.

All the more reason to not have half the country bully them then, isn't it?

Could be worse for those kids. At least they weren't exposed to any trans people.

Rosters only expand by two guys now, only one pitcher. It gets talked about like it's still 40.

Who cares if I mind!?!?! Just saying making the playoffs and the bye are more important than winning the division in the current format.

I've got the following magic numbers. Home field: 30 Bye: 25 Division: 19 Playoff spot: 19 I would contend division is the third most important of those.

There is no guarantee of PPL picks in 2027 with thr current CBA expiring.

Saw some quotes from Hinch that he doesn't expect him to clear waivers.

5 starts... Shoved in 1 (G1 NLCS) , pretty good in another (G1 WS), mediocre in 1 (G2 NLDS) rocked in 2 (G5 NLCS, G5 WS). I'm formulating a theory now that he probably shouldn't see a team twice in a series.

Time to put the kibosh on actors in the booth...

Not the best time to be knocking stuff out around the house and want to keep up with the game.

The best reliever picked up at the deadline might be Dietrich Enns...
