I never want to see Semaj Morgan play another down for Michigan. He can keep his championship ring, but let him play football in the MAC or FCS.

Todd McLellan can only get so much out of such an untalented team. The Yzerplan is an abject failure. His tenure in the front office is worse than the Darkness with Harkness Dead Wings.

Dodgers win.

Might be time to take Bryce out of this game. By far his worst game as a Wolverine to date. He’s young, he’ll make mistakes, but if Michigan loses this game, it’ll be largely his fault.

I would have loved to see the Lions draft Cam Skattebo. His style fits perfectly. Baller.

The only thing more annoying than Riley Greene’s strikeouts is his popouts.

Friday night. Win or go home.

Your 2025 AL Central champions, the Cleveland Guardians.

This is half of what Micah Parsons got. I suspect Brad Holmes is keeping his powder dry in case he needs to upgrade the O line at the trade deadline.

That sound you heard was the Packers slamming the door shut on the Lions’ Super Bowl hopes.

Flaherty cannot be on the playoff roster unless he’s strictly relief.

Great pitchers’ duel between Tarik Skubal and Wayne State’s own Hunter Brown.

All those trades at the trade deadline somehow made the Tigers pitching staff worse.

The Lions-Falcons game is over. Suspended with 6:19 left in the fourth quarter after Detroit’s Maurice Norris was taken off the field by ambulance. The final score was 17-10 Lions.

The Tigers lead is down to 5.

Brad Holmes has done a good job in the draft, but Hendon Hooker was a huge swing-and-miss. Time to cut bait.

Here’s how I see the AL Central at season’s end, based on current trends: CLE 93-69 KCR 83-79 DET 80-82 MIN 75-87 CHW 68-94

Since July 8, the Tigers are 7-16 while the Guardians are 17-7. Assuming both teams stay on that pace (no reason to think they won’t), Cleveland will finish 93-69, 13 games ahead of Detroit (80-82).

It’s pretty clear now that the Tigers 31-13 run last fall was a fluke. I wonder how they will explain the collapse when they’re watching the playoffs from home instead of participating

The Tigers had a 14 game lead in their division on July 8. It’s going to be down to 6 by the end of the day. They are absolutely going to choke it all away.

Very early grades on Tigers moves: Finnegan A Morton B+ Paddack D Montero F

Charlie Morton? Adam Wainwright wasn’t available?

The Tigers acquired Kyle Finnegan for a couple of pitching prospects but didn’t have to give up any of their top 10 farmhands. Finnegan played HS baseball in Texas, but was born in Detroit.

PHI gave up its 4 & 5 prospects for Duran. In the Tigers system, those guys are Briceño and Liranzo. I suspect PIT would want one or both of them plus Clark or McGonigle in exchange for Bednar. I also suspect that’s too much for Harris.

The Tigers appear to have righted the ship, and not a moment too soon. I don’t believe they will make any major moves at the trade deadline. It’s not how they operate. Ilitch and Harris prefer to make inexpensive tweaks and I can see them adding a reliever without giving up too much

The Paper Tigers will lose 60 games before they win 70. If they don’t win another game before the trade deadline, they should sell, not buy.

The Tigers are not a .600 team going through a slump. They’re a .500 team that played over its talent level for 2 and a half months and is regressing to its mean.

The Tigers finished last season winning 31 of their final 44 games. They overachieved to a 59-34 start this year. That’s a .657 winning percentage over 137 games. This weekend proved they aren’t really that good. I expect them to finish just short of 90 wins.

The Tigers need to use the trade deadline to overhaul their bullpen and maybe add another starter. Otherwise, I don’t see them winning 90 games.

Mariners dominate in sweep of Tigers, losers of four in a row.

The Tigers bullpen is atrocious.

If the Tigers unravel after the All-Star break, they can point to this series as the start of it. The Mariners are making them look like minor leaguers.

I hope 2025 Zach McKinstry is not 2009 Brandon Inge.

The rich get richer, the Red Wings get poorer. While Yzerman dinks around with minor moves, Vegas acquired Mitch Marner—a scoring machine—from the Leafs and signed him to a long-term deal. The captain is clueless.

“Oh no! Disaster! What a bad idea!”

Tigers should have signed Boyd instead of Flaherty.

Flaherty is the new Kenta Maeda.

The first two months of the season were fun, but the Tigers are coming back to earth fast. They need to replace two starting pitchers, half the bullpen, and add a big bat or 2 to make up for the suddenly anemic Carpenter and Meadows. Do they empty the farm at the trade deadline?

The Tigers have one reliable starter in Skubal. The rest of the rotation and the bullpen are a hot mess. Flaherty’s washed.

“Oh, hi! I read your post on line and would like to have a civil conversation with you about it. Please provide evidence to support your case. I’m just politely asking questions.” #sealion

The Tigers bullpen is a mess.

With Jobe out probably until 2027, the Tigers will have to acquire a solid number 2 or 3 starter at the trade deadline to stay in contention. Pitching chaos every other night won’t cut it this time, as demonstrated by tonight’s ugly bullpen collapse.

If the Tigers go looking for bullpen help at the trade deadline, my top target would be Aroldis Chapman.
