By the way, there’s rain in the forecast for Monday and Tuesday in Chicago, but it’s sort of spotty and hopefully won’t cause any delay of games.

By the way, is there anything about Skubal’s arsenal that would have a tendency to increase the likelihood of an injury? He’ll be 30 years old a little after the end of next season.

I’m no great seer, but I’m assuming Skubal is an ordinary man of extraordinary athletic ability so I don’t think the Tigers have any chance of signing him to a long-term contract. He would have to have the kind of sentimental attachment to the team - which many of us possess - not to sell himself to the highest bidder, which I sincerely doubt the Tigers could be. And the Tigers know this. He’s a walking corporation and corporations tend to operate by the bottom line. I would never hold it against him to follow suit with this rational trajectory. How the club responds to this challenge will be interesting.

This!

The White Sox are doing better in general than they were when the Tigers last played them in Chicago which was a series we merely split. And the Tigers are now a less powerful team. This one could be a nailbiter.

He might be better used in on-field interviews, but he’s not as photogenic as Daniella.

Boy, you really nailed that one

Game over!

Under review at first

win

Two outs!

Crappy call the umpire on a third strike is in our favor. somebody in the dugout for the Angels was tossed.

Vest is closing…

This is my first Daniella sighting of the day!

Another what appeared to be a home run that wasn’t for Greene.

Riley is pumped he’s huffing and puffing

That outfielder’s neck against the wall is painful just to see from a distance

Almost a Homer for Torres.

Go go White Sox please beat the Guardians!

Looks like we could use some insurance runs.

I would not only be OK with an automatic ball and strike rule. I would be OK if the home plate umpire were replaced by a vacuum cleaner that did the job.

Montero gives up a two run homer.

He walks the first two with a little help from a blind umpire.

Rafael Montero getting in his reps. Out for his second inning.
