Casimir

I went to Panera this morning. The cashier was pleasant, asked if I knew I had a free pastry coming to me today. Asked if I needed extra napkins or plastic ware to take home with me. I was wearing a Tiger hat & jacket and she asked who I thought would win the World Series. I tipped her $1. Sue me for contributing to the insidious trend.

Yes, because this team is deep in starting pitching....

The division sucks. Cleveland is the only team in the division with legit playoff aspirations. Sure, Machado and/or Harper wouldn't bridge the gap by themselves, but if Kluber or Lindor or Ramirez went don't for a decent amount of time.... OK, probably still not enough.

Yes. Throw Bryce Harper in there, too.

Rumors in Boston about Mookie Betts playing some 2B in the NL Park of the upcoming World Series.

Slapping at him? I thought the issue was he gave Aguilar a noogie as he crossed the bag.

If only Leyland would'of used an opener and then brought Bonderman into the game in the 2th inning.....

The Yankees are considering moving Sonny Gray. I wonder what the return will be for him and whether or not he'd be a good reclamation project for the Tigers.

I think asking for the next Andrew Miller is a bit much. However, I would like to see the Tigers move away from one inning per outing relievers. Maybe Norris could fit that role, but I think there's still another season to see if he can produce in the rotation.

Apparently even Mother Nature disrespects Michigan State.

Hopefully they don't look as shaky out of the gate tonight. I would think that they wouldn't, but there might still be some getting acclimated to one another yet.

I remember Moose. I mean, how does one not remember Moose?

One of these names is not like the others Come on, can you tell which one? Can you guess which name is not like the other Before this song is done? My apologies to Sesame Street.

I missed the poetry. The Ben Wallace voice over was OK. He's getting a little more salt than pepper on the chin these days.
