89% humidity maybe there’s a reason these guys are sweating.

All-Star All-Star All-Star All-Star

Riley doesn’t give up even if Jack Flaherty does

Man, the Tampa Bay pitcher looks like he’s sweating a lot.

Torres knows how to hit this ballpark I hope he does something

I would say, get Hernandez out of there, but I don’t think it makes any difference.

I saw that movie.

Our City Connects are like something out of an ‘60s Italian sci-fi film compared to what the Rays are wearing.

Where’s my 12 runs?

It looks like Petry Daniella and Jason are going to kill time between now and the start of the game. Right now they’re talking about the best peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Try July or August.

On the screen, it says tonight‘s game will start at 7:55 PM

Gleyber lives around the corner.

Daniella gets to travel and Johnny doesn’t.

So, the game is beginning in rain delay and Tigers Live is being broadcast - so far at least - with Johnny from Comerica Park.

It’s interesting that only the Athletics and the Marlins have a lower average age for batters. Those are not good teams, but the Tigers are.

The festivities are occurring at my oldest who’s 33 and a marvelous chef. She makes her own pizza dough and then creates six or seven different exotic moderate sized pizzas that are like toppings layered a cloud. She’s really quite accomplished.

I’ll be missing most of this game tonight because two of my four children that still live in town are hosting a late Father’s Day celebration occurring tonight due to logistics. Often times my absence is a boon when it comes to winning these games so I hope that’s the case tonight.

They had 3 inches of rain in the Tampa area in the last 24 hours but only a quarter of an inch is expected today. Saturday and Sunday looks pretty good.

Yelling at a player and acting out from the safety of the stands is a gutless thing to do. There is a degree of acceptability in these exchanges but it’s easy to cross the line if you get caught up in the moment. I say this as a person guilty of this activity who crossed the line unknowingly at the time and is mortified after the fact. What I did was surely not worthy of ejection but it reflects poorly upon me. I don’t think it’s a final referendum on my overall character, but it’s not something I’m proud of. The group psychology engendered by spectatorship is weird.

We should worry about every team we play, but I don’t think Tampa Bay is like facing a buzz saw. Yes, they could certainly hand the Tigers asses to them, but the Rays lost a series to the Red Sox on the road. They did indeed beat the mighty Yankees 3-zip in Yankee Stadium, but the Yankees were slumping. And they just finished splitting a series with Baltimore at home. Our team takes every team seriously, but they don’t tremble in front of them either. I’m looking forward to watching these games. Two of them are day games beginning at 12:10 PM, pretty early because of the heat I’m sure. And for me these games begin at 10:10 AM and for people on the west coast an hour earlier. For me, this is the very definition of convenience because I don’t have to sit around like a puppy dog waiting to be fed all day long.

The Tigers still have the best record in baseball. In our own division, we have leads of 10.0, 10.5, and 11.0 over our closest competitors. And although the Rays are a darn good team, they are slightly weaker at home than on the road. Then we play the Athletics at home with a day off in between. I like our chances.

Loss. We won the series, which is the idea. And it’s a moral victory to come back from 4–0 but that’s not something to get the warm fuzzies about. It’s just baseball.
