Hopefully the elevated early return rate by the Democrats is more an indication of an increase in D voters overall, than it is an indication of the same number of D voters just getting in their same number of D ballots faster this time around.

Yes, his results have been mostly very good. Hope he can continue it into the future as long as he's with us.

Most predictable thing ever.

A low walk rate is the entire Tigers staff's calling card.

I think had they ruled it a hit in the moment Wenceel would not have been loitering between first and second, unless Vierling was on his was home, which he wasn't, which, what the ****. But I'm with what was said earlier: I would think umpires typically rule something that close a trap. But these guys very aggressively called it an out. I know that's what they honestly thought in the moment but still, that was pretty unusual.

I wonder whether any state governments or unions toy around with road closures as leverage to get at each other during disputes.

I shook hands with a couple Cleveland fans after the game. Everyone agreed it was an outstanding game. Thank god it's not the 1930s or 40s or 50s, as a fan of the opposing team I would have been murdered before I got out.

A 7 K/9 is well below average in the major leagues, and opponents hit .228 off him this season because his BABIP was .261. These are not good signs for a leverage guy.

I had to look up that word.

I could tell watching it live it was a trap. Even from some 300 feet away, with my vision correct by glasses, I could see the ball change direction before settling in his glove. I so assumed it was a trap and didn't see any umpire call it an out that I was confused as to what was happening when the umpires gathered. And then when they showed it on the big screen, I knew I was right, but I also still didn't know they'd called him out, because if the umpire said so before the review, I couldn't hear him say so over the crowd noise. Before all that finally landed with me, the thing I was most pissed off about was that Vierling wasn't bolting to the plate from second base with two out. What was he hanging around second for? Thank god we did not have a loss turn on that.

Believe me when I tell you, when you actually are at the game, you feel all the anxiety.

Magglio walkoff.

Gooden had 57 fWAR across a 17-year career, which is borderline Hall of Fame level, so I wouldn’t say his career was exactly derailed. I’m not any more certain that Gooden should have had a Roger Clemens career because of his age 20 season than I am Al Kaline should have had a Willie Mays career because of his age 20 season. Maybe 1985 was always going to be a complete outlier year for Gooden either way,

I don’t know why DOTs have to barrel off ten or more miles of lanes on interstate highway all at once when they can work on only maybe a quarter mile of road at a time.

He might try to use his connections there and his money to hollow out a victory from the inside.

Maybe it’s how they can identify boots on the ground that can help him in California once they turn everything upside down?

You talk about it as though they have.

Second greatest Tiger game I’ve ever attended.

As it turns out, that measly one-run lead would have held up.

We’ve proven we can win those.

Of course in between innings the Guardians play Hang On Sloopy, the only official state song about a blowjob, for the Ohio crowd.

Jesus.

Greetings from beautiful Cleveland, Ohio!

I was just ambling up the stairs to my seats in 551 and they were coming back down the other way. Pure happenstance.
