take two of three against bad teams and play 500 against good teams and you'll end up with >90 wins.

Yes, I too am thinking we might not go 162-0 ... 😉

[HeyAbbott]

I thought at of the beginning of the season we could sweep the White Sox, the Mets, and the A's to start the year, and still finish the year with 84 wins. It is a long season, but it is nice to see after the last multiple dismal starts.

New baseball pet peeve: calling what they do in the dugout after a home run a "celly". I had never seen that word until this past weekend and now I've seen it half-dozen times since.

As for the new Pizza home run celebration, they should stick a fork in it

That word is all the rage in hockey.

I will punch anyone in the throat who attempts to make it a thing here.

Related to this, I'm just about giving up on anything Jason Beck writes. It feels as though practically all of it is specifically PR for the organization. Yes, I understand he works for mlb.com, but there are ways to position things without looking like a complete shill.

I interpret it as the Tigers softened up the Jerk Sox for the Braves to have an easy series.

Crazy kids always living on the edge of linguistics.

City connect merch available May 6th and on the field May 10th.

I just got MLB Network again and.... I can't get over Carlos Pena being referred to as "Los".

As for "celly"... yeah Buddha's right.   Hockey players like to shorten everything up, names, etc.  I think it comes from being out of breath on the ice so you reduce syllables and exertion it takes to say things.

May 10th is vs Houston.  Does that factor into it by chance?

SPACE CITY jerseys vs MOTOR CITY jerseys?
