I have a picture of Slick Nick Shady’s hat, superimposed over a blowup doll that Yoda assembled years ago somewhere I’m not sure if I can find out.

I wonder if the “Band of Brothers“ thing has faltered for some reason. In addition to that other teams have figured out how to pitch to the Tigers and much of the rest of the pitching staff has had issues. Oh well. I’m not for firing everybody selling off everybody or promoting everybody from AA because there’s no difference supposedly between AA and the majors.

Heck.

Bases loaded and we need the pre-All-Star game McKinstry to do something.

Wenceel Pérez doubles (17) on a line drive to right fielder Jhonkensy Noel. Zach McKinstry scores.

I’m glad the Tigers got that DP to end the inning. If Cleveland scored two or three runs in the first. I was going to go back and watch something more uplifting like “28 Year Later“ on Netflix.

Walking Ramirez is one of those things that gives me hope that I live in the sane world.

28 years later is on Netflix

DC’s new Superman is now on HBO Max

It does seem like they should be due to turn things around. I hope you’re right. I don’t know how closely I can follow it though. I’m starting to feel pretty wrung out.

Scoot posts the Scoob game thread!

I remember when rain delays didn’t bother me because the team was doing well

I guess I should cancel my order for a replica of the 2025 Detroit Tigers World Series victory ring…

I sometimes wonder if this bad luck is because Comerica Park is built on an Indian burial ground but the entire Midwest is one big Indian burial ground anyway. So that’s a dumb idea.

Another wasted opportunity with two on in the sixth.

Pinch-hitter Jace Jung replaces Javier Báez. Apparently there is still hope…

Was really hoping for some Torkelson magic in the bottom of the fifth, but no dice.

Other than that two games against the Yankees, they haven’t hit a lick since.

This is frustrating. When I felt this frustrated at the age of five I would retire to my sandbox and focus my magnifying glass on small red ants until a column of smoke arose and I imagined I was attacking Rommel‘s tanks in North Africa. I was a part of the post war generation and World War II was an active memory. I lived in a neighborhood filled with fathers who had grizzly trophies from the war. One of my neighbors had black and white photographs from when his father liberated Buchenwald. pretty horrifying. So stuff like this wasn’t quite as twisted as it actually sounds. It was the background noise of life as a child in the 50s. After a while, I realized how lame and pointless this was and stopped doing it But I almost wish I had a sandbox right now.

Spencer Torkelson homers (31) on a fly ball to left field. Jahmai Jones scores.

They don’t appear to be the same team they were for almost a year, although it’s hard for me to be objective about this because I have such an emotional investment in them.

Well, so much for that.

Montero pitching a no-hitter so far and if he can go 178 tosses today it will be in the books.
