Windsor but I don't have cable. I think I can stream Sportsnet+ for $20 a month.

It will be preempted by either Curling or a Dragon’s Den rerun.

If it goes 5 Skubal should be in line for game 2 and 5. If there is a weather postponement and game 1 gets pushed to Sunday then Skubal would be on schedule then, if that happens do you then start him for game 1 instead?

I know Bill Watson he was the trainer at my boys’ high school.  Funny seeing his tweet here.

I didn't know that you are Canadian.  I up until last month I just had an antenna on my roof, but was a Bell customer for home phone, mobile, and internet.  Adding the Bell Fibe TV resulted in the home phone price almost disappearing, so my monthly charge is almost the same, with or without TV.

Bell are a bunch of f*cking thieves, they have lots of good deals but they won't tell you if you don't ask, which I always forget.

Was thinking about that and I'd probably go with Rogers or Vest. Rogers for sure if you give credence to the whole "calling a good game and managing the pitching staff", also had the most hits on the team as well. But boy did Vest look dominant in his 2 appearances. 

Expand  

Yeah I don’t know why I didn’t add Rogers.  Was thinking more of big moments

As a Canadian, I believe I would be legally obligated to watch curling in that case.

I recently had a falling out with Bell and I refuse to ever do business with them again. I have public mobile, oxio cable internet and rabbit ears.

Dan D’s call of Ibanez’ Northrup-Ian moment. 
 

 

Expand  

Who is that calling the game with him?

[RandyMarsh]

Royals win 2-1 to advance to the ALDS. Three out of the remaining 4 AL teams are from the Central.

I'll never forget when Ibanez was first called up, he started off hot but then quickly had like a 2 week slump where I think he was like 0 for 30 or something like that.

I remember commenting something like "Ibanez is going to be somebody in 10-20 years who you answer with when asked to name 'Random Tigers from the past'" Essentially saying nobody is going to remember him, well now after that hit he will likely be remembered by every Tiger fan for the rest of their lives.

Yeah, that photo I took of the TV said 9 AM which I thought had to be Squirrley. It’s probably wrong. I suppose that Max will fix it. 

Expand  

That's just when coverage starts, so the pregame show.

you know it's not the former Tiger infielder, right?

[IdahoBert]

I’m up here in the mountains of Central Idaho and staying at my friend’s place where his adequate DSL Internet is set to be shut off October 9. Which means I’ll have to drive two hours south back home to Boise if I want watch games.

But if I should perchance become acclimated to this place more than I have in the past -because usually, after five or six days, the isolation makes me sort of batty - I can still listen to Dan on the radio. And I have to tell you, I don’t know if I could’ve enjoyed this game anymore watching it on TV than hearing Dan describe it on the radio today. This is a week away, and a lot can happen in a week.

GO TIGERS!

Two hours of pregame seems like too much foreplay to me. I think over two hours I would get interested, more interested, very interested, but then I’d suddenly lose interest in the pregame. 

[RandyMarsh]

Not that it means anything but just thinking that this is the first playoff series the Tigers won against a non Yankee or A's team since the 84 World Series.

Also just thinking about Detroit sports this year, from 2014-2023 Detroit sports won zero playoff rounds, this year they have now won 3 and 5 if you include Michigan football. After a decade of misery we finally have stuff to cheer about!

What’s wild is that, now looking at his Twitter, he is probably much younger than the 49-year old former Tiger.
