Today we can all be happy to never hear about Perry Johnson ever again.

Detroit Tigers fan. In the garage watching the game. Seasoned misanthrope. Go Blue! Lions. Red Wings. Arsenal. PGA. F1. NASCAR. MX/SX. Dogs, stogies, movies, TV, music, beer. UAW. Pro-worker.
Tigers now 2-0, outscored opponents 19-0 in post-Skubal era. Dodgers are 0-3.
Welp. Keider Montero has a job for the rest of the season. Verlander? Let’s get is going.
Didn’t expect to see Marcelo Mayer get traded. I’m still mopping up Tiger fan tears for not drafting him 5 years ago.
Harold Reynolds not liking the Tigers’ haul in the Skubal trade makes me like it more.
I’m perfectly ok with the Tigers keeping Mize if the market for him is some team’s 23rd best prospect.
Sweep. Tigers undefeated and unscored upon in the post-Skubal era.
I feel the need, yet again, to point out how accurate the TV strike zone box is and always has been, despite what announcers have been trying to sell us for years. The umpires have always been unreliable. Not the box.
In the garage yelling “I dare you to throw that middle middle fastball Tork.”
For what you mean to this city. For what you mean to these fans. For what you mean to this team. Thank you, Skub.
two top 100 guys. And Smith is a prospect. It’s a good return for two months of anyone
Welp. Social media armchair baseball GMs are gonna be unbearable today.
I’m in the “well, it’s better than nothing camp.” Everybody knows that Harris sucks at this. Tigers were never going to get anyone’s top 3 prospects for 2 months of Skubal. At least now we have Hope…
For the love of GOD stop with the in-game interviews. Call the game.
Bacon mushroom cheeseburgers. AND it was opening day at the local sweet corn stand. Sooo good. Whatever.
Normally, these days, I’m probably not gonna make it for a 9:40 start, but I really want to watch Max Clark debut tonight. Gonna have to activate younger me mode. I should probably take a nap. But I have grilling to do…the struggle is real.
Crazy thought. What if Scott Harris goes full fire sale and trades all Avila era players? Full rebuild with only his guys this time. (Not predicting this, just imagining what that would look like.)
Rogers DFA. They’re probably hoping someone picks him up. Salary dump to get under CBT threshold. Maybe they are trying to thread the needle and keep Skubal for the season?
Riley Greene bounces an easy double play ball. Royals decide to go full bush league. Tigers back in the game.
With this offense, spotting a team 2 runs is a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it works out.
I already cut the grass today. Framber Valdez is out there forcing me to contemplate doing it again.
I wore out this album on 2 formats. Cassette and CD. Got it on vinyl now and still in my rotation on Apple Music. Absolutely one of my favorites of all time. Groundbreaking and still holds up to this day. Classic.
On this day in 1983, Metallica released 'Kill 'Em All.' Fueled by blistering speed, razor-sharp riffs, and youthful aggression, it helped define thrash metal and changed the course of heavy music forever.
