  1. I want to have something to be thankful for on Thanksgiving.
  2. They go with where the player made “his most indelible mark.” Right now JV has played only two complete seasons and a portion of one with the Astros. Unless he goes George Blanda and pitches into his 50s he goes into the HOF as a Tiger.
  3. Carlos Correa doesn’t think Derek Jeter deserved any of his Gold Gloves. Got a big case of man love for this guy. https://www.chron.com/sports/astros/amp/Astros-Carlos-Correa-Yankees-Derek-Jeter-Glove-SS-16624758.php
  4. Tork and Greene are not going to get any better facing still more AAA and AAAA pitching. Both have demonstrated an ability to adapt to increasing challenge and that additional challenge is only available in the majors. The future is now. Vincere vel mori!
  5. Detroit is a team that’s going places. Being a part of that is exciting. As for the “Detroit tax” I can’t see why “where“ makes a difference for a player. They are in their team’s city only half the time. They have to work late. They have few days off, and sex workers are top-shelf everywhere if you have the money.
  6. I have only tried to access the site on my iPhone and until a few minutes ago it’s been down almost all day for me aside from a window of about 20 minutes earlier today.
  7. I’m going to have to figure out how to get World Series tickets.
  8. If they’re going to do a solid color they should do something cyberpunk cool and classic.
  9. Putting them in solid colored jerseys makes them look like a pony league team that should be handing out participation trophies for accomplishments like “didn’t cry for two games in a row.”
  10. Those people were morons. We have higher standards around here.
  11. I hope Tucker Barnhart is the first step in a great journey. Granted, it’s kind of a baby step, but at the same time the Tigers got more than they gave up and a glaring absence was addressed. It’s a prudent decision. I hope greater boldness is in the offing. I also hope the immediacy of this transaction signifies the team is serious about dealing right now instead of dillydallying.
  12. I am making the wild assumption that a 7-0 lead in the top of the 9th means the Braves will win. In an alternate universe where are the Dodgers are on the verge of winning at home, I expect the stadium would be 1/3 empty by now. I am happy for Atlanta fans. This is one of those once in a lifetime things that means a lot to people who are deeply invested emotionally and psychologically in a team. I’m glad that somebody can find something to be happy about. Now the Tigers can move on with spending money like a drunken sailor. Some day we’ll be happy again.
  13. I seem to remember Ernie giving shout outs to people coming to the game with friends from Kalamazoo or Benton Harbor or something like that.
  14. I take offense at this remark. I grew up in a barn. Or at least my mother accused me as acting as if I did.
  15. I don’t care who wins. For me it’s like being asked to choose the method of my lethal violation: Pointy stick or Phillips head screwdriver? Overall I would prefer not to.
  16. In his defense he had no idea that voting rights would be undermined in vastly many more states.
  17. The Astros will have four days off between games and the Braves only three therefore the Braves will win. that is if their pitchers practice fielding techniques.
  18. Me heap big excited for World Series of Braves vs. Cosmonauts. Will bet plenty wampum on Braves at former Motownsports site.
