John_Brian_K Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 It would, but I think having Tram under handing a ball to Lou would be cool also. Tram is just kinda standing there while Lou hogs all the action! 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdahoBert Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 ‘87 brings back painful memories. I still have my satin Tigers warm-up jacket that I bought that year. But even though I’ve never washed it it’s somehow shrunk and very tight fitting now. Very poor construction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoBert Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 In the “there’s some good news in the world but I don’t know where to put it” department, Britney Spears is now free. I’ve always held her in high regard. She’s a good person thrown into the spotlight of fame who hasn’t always been able to keep her head above water. She’s a hotter version of Judy Garland.

1776 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 The SF/LA race is pretty impressive in that it is for a division win, not a wildcard spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The winner gets home field for the whole playoffs, the loser gets an anything can happen 1 game matchup against the hottest team in the league. Definitely some stakes there.

I found my satin Tigers warm-up jacket from 1984 in my mother's basement this summer and was thinking of bringing it back with me. Not sure it suits the Vancouver climate.

Next year when there are 14 teams, we'll get to watch a race between .500 teams battling for the 14th spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a part of baseball, but given that my attachment to the team is almost completely emotional I have a hard time rising above that to appreciate other things that I can be appreciated as good.

IdahoBert Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Tigers are up against a rookie they’ve never seen before. Usually this is a recipe for disaster. In four games the guy is even pretty good. The Tigers are also doing poorly against teams in their own division. So I’m going to wager that the Tigers can’t suck forever (a rational mathematical assertion) and they will rebound against this guy and hit him hard (an emotional assertion).

Crazy Cat Gentleman Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Just as Petry was talking about how many HRs the Twins have hit off of Skubal... Edited September 30, 2021 by Crazy Cat Gentleman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoBert Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 After only 10 pitches a two strikeouts Ryan finishes with the Tigers. I am still confident that we will win although lead off hitter Brian Buxton just hit a 900 foot home run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
