So there is something weird going on. On MLB TV there’s supposed to be a pregame show, but there is no pregame show. It’s been so far seven minutes in a row of nothing but ads. The Twins have some kind of pregame show going on, but not the Tigers.

That sounds like a VHS porn flick from the 1980s

I hope that the Twins pitcher TBD gives up a lot of hits and runs right from the get go. If he doesn’t and some no name guy ties them up like pretzels and makes them stumble over their own feet I’m not going to be happy.

FanDuel says this game doesn’t begin until 2:30 PM. MLB says it begins at 2:10 PM so I wondered if there was some dog and pony show pre-game celebration about great Twins players and when I googled it, this is what I got. According to Google, the Twins are playing the Orioles today not our team. and google is selling tickets to this Twins versus the Orioles game.

This one never really gets old.

Looks like it’s raining right now but by game time it should’ve stopped.

3:16 fourth line from the bottom. Looks like a Bible passage.

Thank you! You are the wind beneath my wings.

I forgot this was Fox so they’ll be no post game show.

Nice.

Two outs

One out

Finnegan here again

So I don’t hope that we don’t have such a safe lead that they throw a guy with an 8.00 ERA out there for the bottom of the ninth.

“They killed Kerry!”

7-5!!!!

So what did they tell Vest when they went out to the mound? ”Imagine you are Sherlock Holmes and Moriarity has strapped a belt of explosives around a small child and if it explodes 2/3 of the Detroit Metro area will be destroyed by a neutron bomb.“ I’ve been watching Sherlock today and this is the first thing that came to my mind. Of course I’m really sick today. You need to cut me some slack.

Just for the record although most people know how this came about, in 2008 when the Tigers added Sheffield and Miggy and were expected to win the World Series and score 1000 runs -which is roughly 6 runs a game - it turned out to be a really bad year so sarcastically I started asking “where’s my six runs?“ Now there are many reasons to either ask this question or celebrate its achievement.

Aw, shucks, thank you. I’m not one of the smart people, but I am a fan.

I’m laid up sick today with a bad cold so I haven’t been able to follow this game too closely but close enough to be alternatingly disappointed and happy as well.

Wild pitch by pitcher Kody Funderburk. Trey Sweeney scores. Jahmai Jones to 3rd.
