  1. And they’re giving Kevin a day off, which is probably good. I suppose he’s available for pinch hitting or something late in the game if it matters.
  2. This feels like just going through the motions, but oh well.
  3. Jones, Jah DH Vierling CF Dingler C Greene, R LF Torkelson 1B Pérez, W RF Lee, H 2B Keith 3B Short SS
  4. Or they could trade McGonigle for several relief pitchers who could do pitching chaos full time!
  5. I have to admit my enthusiasm for this season has waned considerably. That’s just a fact.
  6. I gotta admit I was waiting for this to happen. And no, I don’t think they should’ve got rid of him for peanuts earlier in the year. But this really sucks.
  7. As children we were just stunned and none of us were crying because it was just unbelievable and it was hard for us to process, and I don’t think any of us had much investment in his persona as the adults might. I do remember they brought TVs into all the classrooms for his inauguration and it was pretty impressive. He definitely had a lot of charisma or an aura about him that even children could pick up on.
  8. I remember when JFK was shot there was this strange hubub in the halls as all the teachers left their classrooms and they were hugging each other and crying and then our teacher Mrs. Vaughn returned from the hallway choking back the tears and told us all to leave and that the President had been shot dead and school was canceled for a few days.
  9. When I hear commentators, especially on national broadcasts, gushing about who is hitting in the “three spot” or batting “cleanup” even a generally emotional fan as myself has to roll his eyes and wonder if they’ve been paying attention to what’s been going on in analytics for the last 25 to 30 years.
  10. Future President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, meeting with Hank Greenberg and Ted Williams at Fenway Park in 1946.
  11. Only 5 of the AL teams are at .500 or above and only NY and the Rays are playing at high levels.
  12. We’re closing in on the Magic 40-Game benchmark…
  13. I would be OK with Torkelson hitting a meaningless home run here.
  14. He’s a closer, can’t use him in any role of than that, I think it’s a rule.
  15. I would be OK with more runs. I don’t think that’s being greedy.
  16. Jake keeps it alive with a single Kevin coming up man this is dramatic.
  17. Lee’s family happy. 4-1 Tigers.
  18. I wish we could blame the Tigers’ poor fielding metrics on the weather, but I suppose we can’t.
  19. Stop talking about Jansen Jason
  20. Don’t give up this lead Tigers or rather Vanesco.
