We are headed for an economy rooted on special pleading and exceptions due to insider sweetheart deals and outright graft.

Russian affirmative action program.

Uhhh …

This is not related to todays Tigers game, but I am at my first game of the year that counts. Nothing like seeing a game in retractable-domed comfort in April when it’s miserable weather outside.

I believe it’s actual “hoser”.

The beauty of baseball’s everydayness is such that nearly every team will have their pitching ace working on a Wednesday during which eleven of the games are day games.

That is the exact reason why Fanduel is even worse than bally. The screen is messy at the bottom the same way, and at least half of what they show down there are prop bet odds. It's even more aggravating because Tigers had a chance to cast their broadcast lot with MLB, who run a clean screen that's free of gambling detritus. The Guardians, Twins, Rangers, D-Backs and Padres have all abandoned Bally/FanDuel and hooked up with MLB, and that could have been us.

Oh, no doubt. My educated professional guess is they are using the survey to create marketing materials to present to current and potential corporate partners.

And even less so in DC.

I have just taken what I think is actually a pretty good survey by MLB about my fandom, and I have provided my most salient opinion.

Plus, the Republican won, so stop with this moral victory **** already. They don’t count.

Nobody asked the right question about bats until just recently. Finding the simple, elegant solution that was “right there” the whole time before someone actually discovers and exploits it is what I believe to be the true definition of “genius”.

Raise your hand if you thought the Tigers would be in a four-way tie for first place at 2-3 after five games.

Maybe here’s a clue why Tommy Kahnle throws change ups all the time.

That’s the second oppo in two days for Riley. He’s looking like a 30-homer guy.

Man, Mize was huffing and puffing all inning.

Holy effing Toledo, Tork is way born again hard!

I’m a little surprised we didn't have someone up and throwing at the beginning of the inning. But next baserunner has got to be his last.

I think Casey might be getting tired, missing high on Mastrobuoni on the first three pitches. He might start the sixth, but he’s gone on the first baserunner.

Casey ****ing Mize, where have you been all my life?

I promise you reporting on people is not going to be limited to immigrants for long.

People can say what they want about “McStinky”, but he is an elite baserunner, and that matters.

Only one inning, but Casey Mize looks born again hard like he did in spring.

I don’t know, Zach might have been able to get the guy at second if he were seamless about it.

I don’t see this as nearly the same as saying Trump is Biden is Trump. If I have to fault Stewart here, it’s that he didn’t have the foresight to understand that Trump would set about immediately destroying the country through chaos and confusion. To be fair, not many people outside of me were saying exactly that. But to break down what he’s saying above, it reads to me as, the institutions are strong enough to keep this country alive even if Trump is elected, and just electing Biden isn’t enough by itself to save the country and make the Trump problem go away. Criticize Stewart for the first point as you like, but even you have to admit he’s right on the second point.
