  1. I mean seen live, not on TV. But yes. Yes you do.
  2. Just for that I’m going tomorrow AND Thursday. How do ya like the mapples? 😃
  3. I have seen the Tigers in three games this year, in three different stadiums. They are 0-3, gave up 16 runs, and scored a grand total of three.
  4. Man, what the hell else can go wrong here? All four runs have scored after there should have been a third out.
  5. That the run is unearned is certainly cold comfort.
  6. In case you didn’t know, Wenceel Perez was born on Devils Night. How Detroit.
  7. Greetings from beautiful Chicago, Illinois!
  8. I think we'll be fine without four months of Bo Bichette.
  9. Or the first part of 2021.
  10. I have no more reactions left to give, so ...
  11. If you're thinking of what I'm thinking of, then close: That was a P23. I don't believe this came up during the game, but Dingler earned himself an assist on the play.
  12. I am leaning toward going. Wife won't go with me. May have to go solo.
  13. You got a good point—although even Cy Young winners could use a day off on the mound!
  14. My loss is Oblong's gain: I got tickets some time ago for Thursday's getaway game. Skubal was in line for the start. But today's bullpen game pushes him back to Friday in Detroit vs the Cubs. As of now, Casey Mize is penciled in for Thursday, but even that might not happen, because there's a good chance Wednesday gets rained out, and if so, with Olson and Jobe out and Montero still gassed, that probably means the return of Sawyer Gipson-Long, which, that would be a pretty good storyline to follow.
  15. If you'd've told many fans last season it was going to be like that this season, they'd've assumed the entire hitting coaching staff would have been replaced to make that happen.
  16. I was eight when Apollo 8 went up, which is too young to realize what a humongous fricking deal it was. I had no context for processing that. It was just another thing happening on the way to my growing up. In fact, by the time the later Appolo missions were going up, I was bored with it. Oh, what, this again? Try that on your imagination.
  17. I don’t know if there’s anything we can do, at least in the short term. This is the dictatorship playbook, and Americans have long been so sheltered from that, they are not even aware it exists, let alone recognize it when it’s in front of their face. But you’re right: you and I and the rest of us have no power as individuals to effect change. Our power lies in our acting as a collective. But that’s uniquely difficult to achieve in this country because American ideology elevates individualism above all else and discourages—and even occasionally criminalizes—collectives. Remember how big an insult it was meant to be by dismissing Obama as a “community organizer”? Because community is only a few letters from communism, amirite? As far as Trump being on the hook, I don’t mean prosecuting him or anything like that. I’m talking about the simple act of disavowing that he has any responsibility for words coming out under his name, if we were to learn it’s not really him doing the actual writing. But of course it is if they come out under his name, even if he never saw the words before they went out. They’re still his words, and he’s responsible for them. We can’t let him off the hook by saying he’s too stupid to think up words. That’s basically infantilizing him. By excusing him for things done in his name that people believe he’s not capable of concocting himself, we’re letting him off the hook. I’m just saying, don’t let him off the hook. He’s not just “following orders”.
  18. This is exactly what people voted for.
  19. Apollo 7 was the first one I remember from when i was a little kid. I always wondered why they didn’t have any Apollo 1 through 6, but now I know a little more about it. Do you happen to know why they skipped 2 and 3?
  20. MLB Network millennials.
  21. No at all. If the other team is going to give up like that, hammer and hurt them some more. They’re professionals, they can take it. If they can’t, go open a flower shop or something. Besides, the baseball clock runs on outs, not time, so technically, a team can still come back from infinity-minus-one runs down before “time” runs out.
  22. I don’t even listen to MLB radio anymore because garbage Chicago ads featuring inexplicable Hall-of-Famer Pat Hughes follow me to every game I listen to in every part of the country I roam. I’m glad I get baseball on Sirius. At least half the commercial pods are local 97.1 The Fan ads, even if a third of them are for various ambulance chasers.
  23. If one of the four ads you’re seeing is not Bet365, you’re better off than I.
  24. Super Bobby did that, too.
