Has this ever worked even once? 😉

There we go, two pitches and out of the eighth.

there you go guys keep the positive vibes coming

Now the umpires are icing Vest? WTF

What is it with Skubal and his lost ability to do anything on the mound that’s not actually pitching the ball?

McStinky bunts the run home. Needed that! Close it out, Tarik!

Good thing we didn’t walk Ramirez there. 😏

I was just seriously thinking that if there was any game you have to get 110 pitches—or even more?—out of Skubal, it’s today’s.

Tigers have this irritating recent habit of scoring in only one inning and getting shut out in the other eight. That’s obviously not going to cut it today.

Am I being overly sensitive, or is Eduardo Perez calling the game from the Guardians perspective?

Two pitches, two outs, then two hits, one run. Just like we drew it up on the board in the locker room.

Considering the consequences which are all but certain, who among them is gonna bring it up to the others? You have no idea whose side anyone is truly on, so nobody's going to test that proposition, are they? Particularly given that there are certainly wolves in sheep's clothing among them.

Far from being unintentionally ironic, I think it's clear projection on his part. Any top brass who snarks back about Trump's fat is gonna get a one-way ticket to Twentynine Palms or Eielson Air Force Base or Guam.

Good memory! Yes we will be stopping on the corner again, because why the heck not?

Speaking of ice cream, that’s really how this playoff appearance feels to me. A lot of people are mad at how the Tigers make the playoffs, which I have trouble truly understanding, since we are one of only 12 teams even in it no matter how we got there. (My buddy the diehard Mets fan knows what I mean.) But I will say that the way we got there has made me realize how precious it is to even have a chance in the dance. It almost completely slipped away from us, but by the grace of 1,000 gods, here we are. It’s another thing to appreciate just being able to have. Win or lose, I’m thrilled we’re playing today.

Out of reactions at the moment, but this is a +1 for me. Talking to seniors is THE main reason I love volunteering as a delivery driver for a local pantry. I have a regular clientele of maybe 50 or so people, mostly seniors, I deliver to at least every two weeks. Most of the know me by “first name” (they are always “miss first name” and “mister last name” to me, and they appreciate the respectful address), and we know each other well enough to ask questions about certain topline personal things like family and health issues. One of them, Mr Davenport, has even told me I’m his best friend, and I suspect he really means it. I get where he’s coming from—he’s in his 80s, health issues, living alone in rough circumstances in a low-income high-rise building in the big city, feels isolated from everything around him, and he has said as much. I sense it wouldn’t be right to disabuse him of the notion, so I try to be as gracious as I can about it. He’s an extreme example, but point is, me showing up with their food from the pantry is a big highlight for most of my clients, and not just for the food itself. I’m so blessed to be in a position to provide them both sustenance and social contact. Doing this has been literally the best choice I have ever made, and by that I’m talking what it means for myself, not necessarily for them.

Yes, that is a valid flip side. She was simply an embarrassment. She might even be a key reason MLB so strictly vets prospective owners nowadays.

Here’s the list I have seen—I am mildly disappointed by some of them, but absolutely floored by none of them. The Riyadh Comedy Festival, which began Friday and runs through Oct. 9, features a variety of big names such as Dave Chappelle, Kevin Hart, Aziz Ansari, Pete Davidson, Andrew Schulz, Jo Koy, Bill Burr, Jessica Kirson, Jimmy Carr and Louis C.K. … Other listed performers for the festival include: Sebastian Maniscalco, Maz Jobrani, Tom Segura, Whitney Cummings, Jimeoin, Russell Peters, Andrew Santino, Bobby Lee, Chris Distefano, Mark Normand, Gabriel Iglesias, Hannibal Buress, Sam Morril, Jeff Ross, Omid Djalili, Ali Siddiq, Zarna Garg, Chris Tucker and Ben Hart.

My wife and I are flying to LA tonight and then renting a car, and then guess what we’re going to do next? Here’s a hint:

Or thrilled and awaiting their deputization into the Trump Militia.

I think it might be Dearborn and Wacker. Definitely in the shadow of the ETTD Building.

Would that even happen today? I'm not so sure. Owners seem to be much more powerful individually and as a cabal than they were 35 years ago.

It was everything second amendment absolutists have been saying for the better part of a century. That hoary old chestnut he used is wrong. It's actually accurate when it's expressed, "Guns don't kill people. People with guns kill people." Most people without guns wouldn't simply change their method of murder, like stabbing or strangling or beating with a blunt object, because these methods can be overcome in the moment. A victim can't stop a bullet and then kill the shooter with it. But they could do that with a knife or a club and a piece of wire. It's why there are mass shootings and not mass clubbing or mass strangulations. People use guns for the certainty.

Wow, what a solid insightful thing to say about people who make a huge show of cloaking themselves with the fig leaf of religion. (h/t gehringer2) Jesus said to his disciples: “Take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them; otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father. When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win the praise of others. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing, so that your almsgiving may be secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you. “When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.

This is what a rivalry should feel like. But as Tiger337 alluded to, we have not seriously fought the Clevelanders for any pennants or divisions for our entire existence, save the last couple of years. As a rivalry, it's just getting started, but I don't think we are quite at the boiling point just yet. We do need to beat them at some point for a division title or playoff series win, because rivalries have to be even, like Michigan-Ohio State, and not one-sided, like Michigan-Michigan State was from the 70s through the mid-2000s. You know when it becomes a true rivalry? When it gets its own Wikipedia page, like this or this or this.
