  1. I do think one of the things that amped up the excitement in 1976 was the Shell Bicentennial Minutes on CBS every single night for two years starting in 1974. Heck, we learned the word “bicentennial” because of it. By contrast, I’d bet fewer than five out of 100 people even know what centennial name this one is.
  2. All I can say is Drew Anderson owes Zack Short a big-city steak dinner.
  3. I blame the schools being instructed to stop teaching civics, among other things.
  4. OK, I’m starting to sense a pattern here I think can be summed up by this decision tree.
  5. Nothing creative about it. Just a run-of-the-mill bad-team loss.
  6. RIP Bubba Helms. He had a terrible go of it after this.
  7. FWIW, Zack Short was one pitch away from getting a GWRBI.
  8. My guess is that the first step to change will be at least a mini-overhaul of development and coaching staff at more than one level. I would also think training staff will experience some turnover as they identify some shortcomings in the process of keeping guys from getting hurt and going on the list.
  9. I’ve long thought remaking the judiciary in his own image was among the tops on his agenda. I thought it would have come up long before now but he has at least 2-1/2 years to get on it.
  10. They dug out of a similar hole in August 2024.
  11. However bad it is for us watching the Tigers lose in horrific fashion on TV night after night, it is twice as soul-crushing seeing it happen in person.
  12. Pinch hit in the 11th if we need him?
  13. No Arm Tork strikes again.
  14. No Range Tork strikes again.
  15. Greeting from beautiful Chicago, Illinois!
  16. Sorry, man, I was just trying to make the joke that Bert must be high if he thinks the Tigers are gonna win and it just unexpectedly spiraled.
  17. Erik Fedde is starting for the White Sox. 0-5, 5.64 ERA. I will make no further comment.
  18. So much for freedom.
  19. When did they get medical cannabis in Idaho?
  20. Here's what I don't understand: were J.D. and whoever is supplanting Boog sleeping during the actual pitch? How did they not jump right on that in the moment and say it wasn't even close? I understand being cautious on very close calls, but this was not that.
  21. I think the Bicentennial served as a balm to help heal some of those divisions, and there was zero attempt at the kind of us vs them these people are engaging in.
  22. Not saying those threats can't happen, but they have been debunked so often, I tend to believe off the bat that they are false flags.
