Absolute Vorticity

We got killed 7-0 today so Seattle swept us as many teams have done this year. Next up at home will be AL Central Division foes the KC Royals. First pitch is Fri night at 7:10pm with Drew Hutchison getting things started.

Heard this disturbing report via the Newsmax channel today.

20 MLB teams support gender-affirming procedures for minors! **SMH**!!

Medical interventions for minors — Detroit Tigers, Boston Red Sox, Milwaukee Brewers, Cleveland Guardians and Tampa Bay Rays.

Partnerships and referrals for gender-affirming treatment involving minors — Pittsburgh Pirates, Oakland Athletics, San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers.

Resource guides and promotions — Arizona Diamondbacks, Cincinnati Reds, Houston Astros, Colorado Rockies and Philadelphia Phillies.

Lobbying and advocating for youth-gender transitions as public policy — Minnesota Twins, Washington Nationals, Los Angeles Angels, St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox.

Its beyond blasted disgusting as for i.e. EVERY team in the NL Central is promoting that WOKE crap on some level!

NEVER thought I'd say this because I've been a diehard Redlegs fan since the early 1970s ...but their involvement in participation of promoting this WOKE deviant crap, I'm ready to boycott them and never watch another game of theirs whether on Bally Sports or in person at the GAB ever again!!

I guess these overpaid *whatevers* don't realize and/or understand how many lives of minors have been permanently destroyed by sexual reassignment surgeries and hormonal chemical treatments!!

THEIR PROMOTING OF THIS GOES AGAINST EVERYTHING GOD EVER INTENDED WHEN HE CREATED MALES AND FEMALES!!!!

Why does politics have to ruin everything? UGH... I know I sound like an old fart when I say this, but why can't things go back to the way they were? I miss it. Too bad it'll never happen and we're stuck living in a world now where politics dominates everything. It's a shame. Why can't people STFU and enjoy life, you know? There are a lot of sad and pathetic people out there I guess.

I know bro and agree 1000%.

I truly miss the days of Johnny Bench, Tony Perez, Dave Concepcion, Pete Rose, Dan Driessen, Ken Griffey, George Foster, Ray Knight, Dave Parker, and Sparky Anderson i.e. when sports were NOT politicized and just a Good Old Days awesome time at the ballpark.

And for My Tigers... Sparky Anderson (again LOL since he won a World Series in both leagues as you know), Lou Whittaker, Alan Trammel, Kirk Gibson, Jack Morris and a whole slew of others! Pretty much their World Series 1984 Team!

Tigers beat KC 5-4! 6:10 pm tonight with Michael Pineda.

Tigers results...

Sat - Lost 12-2 vs KC
Sun - Lost 3-2 vs KC --- Lost Series

Labor Day - Lost 1-2 @LAA
Today is the next game in LA at 9:38pm with Eduardo Rodriguez.

We lost 5-4 in 10 innings. We will probably get swept at 4:07pm this afternoon with Drew Hutchison.

We won 5-4. OFF Today then on Friday night at 8:10pm we go to KC. Joey Wentz will get things started.

Port Authority Officer Anthony Varvaro, age 37, was killed this morning in a head-on collision with a wrong-way driver in Jersey City, NJ, not far from the Holland Tunnel, while on his way to the World Trade Center Command for a 9/11 commemoration.

He had been a pitcher with the Braves, Red Sox and Mariners.

He is survived by his wife Kerry and their 4 children.

Tigers last 10 games posted a pathetic 4-6 record. We are in last place in the AL Central, 24 games back! We have 54 wins and 91 losses with 3 weeks left in the season. 17 games to go.

Redlegs are 58-89 and 28.5 GB. I think only 15 games left mercifully. 2-8 last 10.

Both clubs can only go up from here, right?

Redlegs got swept in 3 by the LAST PLACE Pirates! **SMH**

Thankfully just 6 more games for this crap of a season!

Tigers have 4 games left with SEA on the road to round out the season. 1 game tonight, a DH on Tues and the final game on Wed. Finally the miserable 2022 season will be over. Tigers are 65-93 at this time. My God...

Redlegs now have 2 more games as they're rounding out the season with 6 games vs their rival Cubbies. A night one tonight and an afternoon one Wed in their last home stand wrap-up. They are currently tied with the Pirates at 61-99.

Glad the Redlegs crap fest of a season is OVER!! Going to be a stretch of years (5-6 or 5-7?) of mentally-draining rebuilding!

Its sad their ownership inhibits their truly reaching playoff status by falling back to rinse and repeat rebuild cycle once they get to or near the top and so probably the chances of seeing another World Series spot in this 21st century is slim to none.

For 2022 they finish tied with the Pirates 62 / 100 at .383 and 31 games back.

Tigers finish 66-96 4th place in the AL Central 26 games back. Terrible!

Maybe we need a Tigers vs Reds thread next year to see who gets the most losses in a season.

I tell ya Mike... it would be an even split as far as odds go. Man... Well the Tigers have taken a new direction with firing their long time GM Al Avila. So we'll see how 2023 goes. It can't get much worse then this season.
