Jeez... What's with this searching for something negative thing?

Ahh... The Mentor becomes the Mentoree.

Buxton will be fun... When he starts hitting.

Oh... It's real. I believe I am the one in charge of Jinx Identification and this post is borderline but it'll be alright.

We should have 40,000 Plus for this game. September Folks... It's September.

I gotta go with Houston because it's a quicker path.

Here's a Riverbrian Playoff Fantasy Baseball Circus Boy Update: I've got both Nola and Zimmerman pitching for me tonight. The Score is 6-6 and it's Monday. I guess I'll be streaming pitchers until Sunday.

Allow me to revise and extend that remark. Awesome... Another Nervous Left Hander!!!

Awesome... Another left hander!!!

Does anyone remember when the Tigers had a pitching staff that scared the hell out of you.

I'm thinking about a couple more things. 1. With the Game on in Michigan on regular ole TV... I'm not watching a delay like normal... I'm watching as it happen and I really missed that. 2. The TIgers TV Announcers are exceptional. Rod Allen is a very good color guy. Personality and Baseball Smart. It's like if Tom Kelly had personality. 3. As much as I complain about Eastern Time and How Late Twins Games go here. I can't complain any more with the Vikings starting at 10:15

Not this time Even Halsey had to like that one

That has pointed me in a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich direction for Breakfast tomorrow.

Alright... I'm back home in time to watch some ball.

The Rangers and the Twins seem to be in sync right now. The Rangers win... the Twins win... the Rangers lose... the Twins lose. This is exactly how you don't lose ground or gain ground. If you are bowling against someone... If they throw a strike and you throw a strike. the bowlers might as well have not even rolled at all. If they pick up 9 pins and you pick up 9 pins... nothing is going to get decided that way. Hopefully the Twins knock down all the pins for a bunch of frames in a row. Put the Blinders on so they see nothing but those little spots on the floor. Don't look at the pins. Here are some things to think about: 1. Tigers -- When you talk about extreme failed expectations, the conversation will naturally drift to almost every president in U.S. History... Custer... any skydiver whose chute didn't open and Waterloo. Not Napoleon's Waterloo but the actual city of Waterloo, Iowa. The 2015 Tigers have matched this level of failed expectation and Mr. Dave Dombrowski is out as a result. The Tigers were supposed to be contenders and the ended up pretenders and this led to selling. I don't think the Tigers will be looking to fill from the farm in 2016. I believe they are going to be major FA players in 2016. 2. Ron Gardenhire -- Since it's the Tigers and since Ron Gardenhire has been rumored as the potential manager in 2016, I thought I'd take a moment and think about Gardy. I haven't thought about Gardy for awhile to be honest with you, and I've kinda forgotten what he looks like. Gardy has probably spent the year around the house and Gardy's wife probably thought it was nice for a month or so but she is probably ready for him to go back to work right about now. Will it be the Tigers? Will it be any team at all? I don't have that answer right now and I doubt that Gardy has that answer right now. 3. Blinders on -- In Horse racing... horses often wear blinders. For the longest time I thought that blinders were a horse fashion statement. Something that made them look tough and cool. Turns out that they wear them for job purposes. Crowds can be distracting as can other horses and jockeys. By wearing blinders it keeps the horse focused on what is front of them. Obviously horses tend to look around while running full speed. If they don't wear blinders... they notice blonds in the front row... people tearing up their losing tickets before the race is over... screaming and yelling... basic mayhem... and they also will attempt to read the racing form to see what the experts are saying about them. With blinders on... they can't do any of that.. they are forced to look ahead. Hopefully the Twins equipment manager is placing these things in each locker as we speak. 4. Tyler Duffey -- The guy has a big time curve ball and if he can get ahead of hitters with it or without it, Duffey has a chance to keep the Tigers hitters in check. If he doesn't get ahead of the hitters... the Tigers have the bats that can make him pay for that: Miggy... J.D... Kinsler... Victor. The Tigers record sucks mainly because of pitching; however, this team can still stroke the ball. 5. Canterbury Tales -- I actually like going to horse races and putting some bets down and watching them run. It's kinda exciting and your heart rate does go up. I remember the first time I placed a bet at the track... I walked up to the window and said #4 and I handed them 10 bucks. The guy behind the counter handed me a Burger, Fries and a Coke and gave me some change back. Wrong Window but the lines were shorter. -------------------- Game-time forecast: Clear, sunny (until sunset), 76 deg F, 0% chance of precipitation, winds from the SSE at 9mph.

Shh... I'm trying to get ChiTown's Vote.

Remove the Creepy Eye ones first

Bark... Do you have all of these saved somewhere. I really think the Admins should consider a Bark Art Section on TD. I also think the Twins should post these things in the locker room. The Players have to be getting a kick out of them.

LOL I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. Bark... You are the Best.

LOL... The Raccoon works but the platypus doesn't. Replace the Platypus with an animal of your choosing.

Seems to me... You don't want to talk about it... Seems to me... You just turn your pretty head and walk away.

Plouffe is so ****ING WORTHLESS

I'd feel more comfortable with a big Spartan Head on. No idea what to expect... ESPN gave me zero instructions. I'm going to show up and they are going to shove me out there.

How Bout a Raccoon and a Platypus on the Table?
