Steve Garvey blows.  And I want that closeup of Ed Whitson angrily throwing his gum in the dugout.

[SoCalTiger]

San Diego coming to bury their season getting swept by the Tigers.

Kind of bummed I have to miss this game. Sister in law is in town. I just got back from San Diego an hour ago.  On Sunday we went downtown and walked by Petco.  Sublime was in concert.

Why?

[oblong]

I would have stayed forever.  But it’s expensive. The condo we were in sold for $4.7M recently.

Weather is perfect nearly year round in San Diego.

I’m hanging in the lobby at Comerica park waiting to talk to my rep and Max Clark and his family came in. Didn’t get a picture. Nice kid though.

8 games under .500 and 5 games out of first, with 66 games to go.

I understand that the roster might be weaker after the deadline, and I'm fine with that.  But I think the roster as of today, healthy, is better than a .450 team. So at least for the next few weeks I'm invested in game outcomes because I can see them both moving towards the .500 mark and chipping away at that divisional deficit.

It is. Many there don’t even bother with HVAC.  Every day starts out overcast then around 9ish it starts to become blue sky. I will say my experience last week is it’s warmer than the temperature indicates. It was a hot 78.  We were in pacific beach and everything is 20 min away.  Hit up the USS Midway. Torrey Pines. La Jolla. Balboa Park. The Zoo. Gas lamp district. Coronado island. And a few beach days.

It's hands-down the best city in California, IMO.... just no shortage of good weather and stuff to do!

Happy 1950 non-Apple users. Fire up that RCA radio to warm up and enjoy the Tiger game like we did in the '50's.

Or you know there are other ways to watch said things if you decide to take to the high seas of the internet...🏴‍☠️😂

Well except for Maton being out there that's as close to the A team as you can get with the current roster.

I happen to have Apple TV+ for a month because my wife wanted to catch up on Ted Lasso, so I’ll be watching.

Also watching a great seven-part documentary on Apple+ about how the year 1971 changed music forever. It is surprisingly excellent for its clips, pics, and interviews.

No word yet on if he will be available in a pinch hitting role tonight. 

[Dave Christian]

I've been sitting here swearing under my breath about Tigers games being on Apple TV and Peacock since this morning.

This afternoon my wife told me that we have both channels so I feel better now.

Watching the Cubs and Cards now and will tune into the Tigers game tonight

[Dave Christian]

There is a lot of technical problems in the Cubs/Cards broadcast making it difficult to watch the game.

Hope it's cleared up for the Tigers game.

Small thing but why are they are parading him around Detroit when he could be down in Florida actually starting his career. I hate that the draft is so late now.

Is one of those technical problems the prop bet probabilities they show on every pitch?

No, the sound and picture were fading and coming back every other second.

It was absolutely maddening!

Thankfully the Tigers broadcast isn't having any problems, to this point at least.

Any places to stay that are NOT too expensive...?
