Upper Midwestern pseudo-intellectual former(ish) sportswriter in Shakopee, by way of Bemidji (by way of Michigan). This will probably end up being a bunch of posts about politics, Wilco and college hockey. He/him.
That feeling when you have to immediately check every MLB notification just to find out when “It” is going to happen but the it turns out to be a a different trade, Scott Harris just needs to fucking get it over with already and put Tigers fans out of our misery.
It’s official: Pavement are the jam band for indie rock dads (complimentary).
“Please don’t panic sir, but I must inform you: Someone has allowed the Tigers to get hot.”
Audible boos heard at Comerica Park for Jahmai Jones when he came up to pinch hit for Kerry Carpenter against a lefty ChiSox pitcher in the fourth inning, then more boos when he stuck out for what feels like the 400th time this season, just proof that I am NOT a crackpot about AJ Hinch.
It’s unfortunate that neither Minnesota nor Wisconsin are hosting World Cup games this year, Europeans will never experience what peak American Culture tastes like. 🫡🇺🇸
My wife, after they cut to Mauricio Pochettino for the first time in this broadcast: “ Who is this guy and why he is dressed like Jeff Probst?”
Not sure why but the fact that this team went 73-7-2 is kind of insane to me www.nhl-82-0.com/play?vs=scbb...
At this rate I think the Tigers going for the record of “every reliever on the roster recording a blown save” which would actually be beautiful, we’re going to waste the last season of Skubal like this I say fuck it, let’s do 50 blown saves
Well I guess this seems like A Thing conservatives are doing now. Hers is all time bad though. (Since my post it has run four more times.) bsky.app/profile/nyti...
Ok I took this again and Episcopal feels slightly closer to me but still some of these options were real odd. Especially, “When you communicate the model you most want to emulate is closest to,” none of these were appealing, at all! actually very bad! Anyway, is there a “lapsed Catholic” answer?
I took this once and I feel like it was very off because my complaint with this is that some of the responses do not apply to me at all, there’s no real space for “punk rock English major comedy nerd,” there are dozens of us, dozens!
Look I know it’s hack at this point to complain about Fanatics but considering this company can’t even get the actual Tigers alternate uniforms in stock online it takes a log lot of balls for them to send this email about fashion jerseys and then charge the same price as replicas.
The only good one of these is the Braves. The Rangers one, for example, looks when you create your own fictional league on OOTP and they generate random cities and nicknames for all the teams.
Perhaps the weirdest use of unnecessarily generated AI slop I have ever found: A quite obviously fake AI generated image of “Courtney Barnett” on a website called “Art Threat.” (They take their website name literally apparently.) Who is this for?
