Because that'd make it more acceptable? You're an owner. You don't get to flip people off you don't like.

Accept that you got caught, and pay your fine.

They've already said it on TV. Game will be on FS2 at 7:30ish start.

Bumped for drizzle.

I mean...it's drizzling at best. Why aren't we playing ball?

It’s a tipped ball, so no call.

…..

I’m not fun. I know.

Kyle Finnegan isn’t good. He’s average. Was average in Washington, and now water is finding its level in Detroit just like it did to close the season.

Then again anyone with MLB.tv or reads Washington Beat writers already knew this.

Welp. At least the Tigers got hits in Game 1

It’s happening!

What’s the world coming to when you can’t even hear Hawaiian War Chant and Temptation on Homecoming?

Come on. Play the hits.

Maybe don’t play the start to Jump Around in a close 7-7 game, Michigan Stadium DJ.

Know your audience

It’s going to be three yards and a cloud of dust type of B1G game between Michigan and Wisconsin

That was a vintage Wisconsin drive. Hat on hats and just running through you.

Really good win in Toronto.

Finnie with a two-point third period. Brandsegg-Nygard with a helluva puck battle win that set up an assist to Debrincat.

Probably as close to a regular season game you'll see in the pre-season and young guys stepped up.

Time to maroon some Mariners

Detroit finally got that big AB that drove in runs. Hopefully it sticks.

These are the quarterbacks since 2010 who complete passes at roughly the rate Microsoft Excel’s AI mode accurately edits spreadsheets

Big Elm stripping Bedard of the puck at center ice to create a goal scoring rush is nothing but pure cinema.

Todd Blackledge is looking old.

I remember the days on ESPN when he'd do Todd's Taste of the Town, and just eat the most ridiculous thing the campus had to offer, week after week, and he never gained a pound.

Well thanks to a Houston's loss yesterday, and today's win the Tigers found a way to play October Baseball.

Funny thing is, they still could win the Central. Cleveland just needs to go 0-2, or split, and Detroit needs to win tomorrow.

But seriously, who pounded the table for an awful closer in Kyle Finnegan at the deadline?

Could have gotten anyone else, but settled for a guy who guarantees a run/ base runner every time he's on the mound. Of course Morton was DFA'd, and Paddack is rarely used in the pen.

Trade Deadline busts.

Thank goodness Cleveland is losing because the Tigers choked another game away.

This has been a bad third in the defensive end for Detroit. Getting sloppy with assignments. Sticks not getting into passing lanes, and they've paid for not getting possession for breakouts.

Pens lead 3-2 with two goals in the third.

Berrgren is still pressing. He knows this is likely his last shot. This being the pre-season. But the looks he's had, have been blocked.

He's not doing much in creating for teammates. He's just in his own head, which I get.

Hope he gets new scenery. He needs it.

Leonard again this time from the point on the power play.

Wallinder with the assist

John Leonard (Brother of Ryan BTW), gives the Wings a 1-0 lead.

Good poke check at center ice created the opportunity. Ducet looked to be the one making the play.

But Leonard picked it up fired it from the near circle, top shelf.

Gibson has cleaned up some defensive mistakes for the Wings. But the kids are battling.

Good news, Gibson looks like vintage Gibson. Just needs to stay healthy.

Penguins testing Detroit's defensive structure early. Not getting a ton of looks, but they're finding cracks at times.

Tigers and Boston are too.

"If we need to win to get into the playoffs, we're going to pitch Tarik [Skubal on Sunday]," A.J. Hinch said. "If we've clinched a playoff spot, then we won't pitch him."

We at least always will have Justin Leonard’s putt at Brookline in 99…those were the days, men.

Those were the days.

Just saw a post on social media that said that the Cardinals’ Rivalry Uniforms looked like a tortilla up close and now I can’t unsee it.
