I watched it on mlb.com. I don’t know if it’s still there or not. He basically said that he and Phil had a lot in common, having worn the same uniforms and occupied the same positions and that even though Garner left the Tigers under less than favorable circumstances, Garner had nothing but good things to say about the Detroit organization and the city of Detroit. AJ was actually pretty somber.

I thought AJ‘s remarks regarding Phil Garner in the post game show were really good.

8-1 on a WP. KM with a 3-hit day, his first home run and scores two runs.

Torres now joins the rest of the squad by getting a hit.

7-0.

Kevin McGonigle homers (1) on a fly ball to right center field. The first of 500.

Happy Scoob Day

I followed this game on my phone today walking 3.2 miles at the Idaho Botanical Garden and was so tired when I got home I had to crash for an hour and a half, and while I was lights totally out asleep, I dreamed that Jeff Bridges as The Dude from The Big Lebowski was walking around in his bathrobe at Comerica Park talking about “how ****ing great Kevin McGonigal is!“

That strike three on Matty just now was clearly a ball. So I’m out walking today and not paying real close attention. Have we used up all of our challenges already?

Do something good Tork

Kevin with an error? Send him to Toledo!

Riley Greene homers (1) on a fly ball to right center field. Kevin McGonigle scores. Dillon Dingler scores. Wow! One run short of the magic number.

2-0!

Riley Greene singles on a sharp line drive to right fielder Owen Caissie. Colt Keith scores.

Double Colt Keith doubles (7) on a line drive to left fielder Heriberto Hernández. Kevin McGonigle scores.

Kevin, the junkyard dog leads off with a double.

Batting Perez, a Latino guy, in the two spot is a very Leyland kind of thing to do except that at 5’11” he’s probably too tall.

“I love it when a plan comes together.”

By the way, at least the Blue Jays appear to be able to beat the Minnesota Twins.
