Every Tiger has struck out at least once save for Carpenter....who's 0/3. Mind you, this is against a bad Astros staff. Again, I am left with the creeping realization that Torres is apparently the straw that stir the drink of this offense.

Imagine an entire podcast made out of the Aaron Rodger segments from McAfee that got edited out.

This letter is the type of response you get when you read way too much into a friendly local ruling on a TRO, then throw a dollop of complete lack of self reflection or willingness to accept responsibility for your actions and their natural consequences.

That Mbappe guy might be kinda good at this sport.

I figured May would leave for the NBA at some point, but didn't think it would be after year 2. But hell, he won a title so it makes sense. Wish him luck and now it's on Warde to find someone else.

I had to check this wasn't the Onion for a minute.

The Zlatan and Thierry just VIBING, with Lalas only featured long enough to get got. I love it. Right into my veins.

Skubal is going to make some contender super happy during the stretch run this year with how gritty he can be even in a bad spot.

The US's performance against Paraguay was eye-opening and one of the better games they've played in the World Cup, but to follow that one up with an arguably even more dominant performance now is remarkable especially since they're down Pulisic.

Also, Ronaldo putting up that performance after Messi yesterday is quite the whiplash.

Watching the Tigers struggle to score runs again leads me to believe Torres, somehow, is the key to their success. The obvious answer is to clone him once he's off the DL so they always have a backup.

If there was ever a reason for a team to skip going to the WH after a championship it would be these Knicks pointing out the obvious bad vibes.

The New York Knicks are NBA Champions

I don't think I'll celebrate a NY team winning but as someone who lived in the city for years I recognize true Knicks fans dealt with a ton of disappointment and so I'm happy for them. Also, Spurs will get back but this series exposed some flaws they gotta fix.

That's how you go 15-17 with two lottery picks, apparently.

I'm expecting to hear the noise from NYC in Boston any minute now.

The Wemby discourse this postseason has been a bit wild. He's gone from being the savior of the sport to "hey, he might be a dick who plays dirty and is protected by the refs" in record time.

It continues!

What I dislike about playing Cleveland is every game feels like a low scoring slogfest where their .230 hitters can suddenly mash and the Tigers offense disappears.

You can tell how important their faith is to them because they obviously write Bible verses on all their hats every game, as evidenced by 404 Not Found.

As I was with the US hockey team, I'm going to assume everyone on this team has expressed absolutely no beliefs on social media or in any other way publicly and are totally chill and normal dudes who just love soccer and scoring goals.

As we all know, players from the (checks notes) US and Paraguay can't handle playing in (checks notes again) 75 degrees without getting water.

Folks: my magnum opus. The 2026 World Cup, and all 48 teams, through the lens of their college basketball counterparts. Uruguay is Marquette, the USMNT is Wisconsin, Cote d'Ivoire is Davidson, and yes, Germany is Kentucky www.basketunderreview.com/the-2026-wor...

This take is scorching enough that it may replace the Sun as the main source of energy for the planet.

Checking in on the Tigers, starting to wonder if perhaps having MLB-level players hitting, pitching, and fielding instead of sitting on the DL makes a team better. Still early in my research, mind you.

So does San Antonio invite Ted Cruz to the next game for some reverse-reverse mojo?

Apparently they got super-sleepy at halftime. Spurs clearly were going to come back to Earth but didn't think they'd let it get this close.

I guess the one tiny positive for the Knicks is the Spurs might get tired hitting so many wide open shots that their legs are tired for game 5.

Been watching this Spurs-Knicks game passively and, yeah, this is starting to look like the series a lot expected before the Knicks won those two first games. Maybe not messing with the vibes to placate an awful human being who fell asleep before halftime would have been the better move.

So Dingler is the best catcher in the AL, right? We're not debating this or anything.

Knicks giving up a quick 6-0 run is a bit surprising.

I'll repeat this with my full chest: this OpenAI ad where they make it seem like asking the equivalent of a vending machine to give you buggy code you don't understand is building anything is the worst.

Also, this "AI assist" commercial that tells you for the low, low price of boiling all the drinkable water in Memphis you can learn that zone defense is designed to make it harder to shoot is so obnoxious.

The Spurs just look overwhelmed right now; the Knicks took a quarter to get their bearings but they've got that extra gear in place.

This muting has gotta stop. Yes, a live mic might pick up a curse word or two. I think we'll all survive.

Honestly, the Knicks keeping this within reach despite the Spurs shooting really well and getting a lot of the 50/50 plays is a good sign for them. But Brunson looks off and if he can't get it going I don't think they can keep up.

The Spurs hitting 77% of their shots does feel somewhat unsustainable.

Spurs seem hyper locked in and the Knicks offense looks a bit lost. The most predictable vibes contrast possible.

It's obviously performative but that has a time and place and right now shaming Texas Tech and everyone else involved with Sorsby feels like one of those.

I assume the NCAA will appeal and get it out to Lubbock, but it's absolutely insane that Sorsby even got this injunction. He bet thousands of times, including on his team, and while I hope he can recover from his addiction that doesn't mean he should be out on a CFB field this year.

WALK IT OFF KID #DNMW #REPDETROIT

The Tigers then winning in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs down a run is, by comparison, this season unshelled and I'm here for it as well.

I know it was 2 outs and they're playing better but not getting a run across with the bases loaded there is this season in a nutshell.

I'm shocked that questionable officiating from Tony Brothers potentially swings a game. Definitely a good idea to keep rewarding him with important games to officiate.

So close

Listen, I know the Malice at the Palace was practically wrong but spiritually fans being idiots and feeling consequences for it feels right. Same with this guy who thought he'd get a selfie in the 4th quarter of a Finals game.

Absolutely not the team I thought would get me there but definitely interesting. I just went 82-0, think you can go 82-0? Play 82-0: www.82-0.com/share?id=4fg...

I think the Tigers have dug themselves too deep a hole with their awful May to seriously make the playoffs, but the Rays are a good team and Detroit swept them handily even with that close first game. They're only 6 games out of the WC and getting healthy, so maybe I gave up too early on them
