If this game goes into extra innings, and the Tigers lose 1–0, I may turn over a car in the parking lot.

I think it might be safe to think that Anderson is now OK. Does this make me the smartest guy in the room?

Jake saves us for being no hit. Now someone needs to save us for being shut out and then our club has to score enough runs to actually win a game.

Getting swept by Cleveland at home may lead me and Tonto to ride off into the sunset. You never know.

No Tork no Jones no Perez in the lineup.

There’s more games against these guys? Tonight and tomorrow?

Watching on gameday the bad calls by umpires become more and more infuriating because there is a solution. I’m not sure how much the complexion of the game would change if balls and strikes were completely taken out of the hands of umpires. If hitting dominated vastly more than we are used to or pitching was favored it would be weird.

If I go AWOL for a while, don’t be surprised. I’ve gone into low ebbs before and then come back.

I’m actually glad I didn’t renew my TV subscription for $140 the day after Skubal went on the DL. I’m not even interested in listening through the radio sub. It’s hard to get excited and hopeful right now.

I actually forgot about this game and didn’t even boycott it. It’s just becoming easier for me to forget without even trying. Even after I posted some stuff in this thread. I got caught up doing other stuff and then started re-watching Blade Runner the Final Cut where a lot of the video is enhanced and cleaned up and they cut all the noir voiceover’s out and I just got lost in the moodiness of it all and then I thought “oh there’s a game…”

I was going to queue up my six runs victory celebration, but not wanting to jinx things I didn’t, but it didn’t make any difference.

And Dingler strikes out game over.

2 outs and it’s all up to Dingler.

Then Kevin singles and there’s runners on first and second one out.

Matty just singled in the bottom of the 9th.

So, the Tigers are going up against Parker Messick tonight, who is really good. So given the way baseball works the Tigers will probably win this game one way or another and then go on to lose 7 of their next 10 games. Don’t blame me. Don’t kill the messenger. This is the kind of weird ass stuff that happens.

I am not interested in calling guys up from the minors whom the organization believes require proper seasoning to play at an MLB level consonant with The Tigers’ Way. I’m not interested in acts of desperation derived from frustration.

Jeez, they just keep pouring it on now 5–1 …

In my defense I just popped three vitamin C gummy’s so I’m flying…

Wow, we got our run for the game early! Heck, we could end up with maybe two even three runs!

Riley double scores Dingler!
