Flights are cheap at the moment! But if they end up going in as a wildcard and get knocked out in two games, the beers are on you.

Read this yesterday and then watched the highlights of Lauer's pitching and he was exceptional! Or maybe the Tigers have turned to garbage in their last ten games? I don't know. But he finally made it deep and it was his third quality start out of the last four. The list of happy surprises this season is long but he has to be at the top. Thanks for looking into him so thoroughly.

'During a week of home games the only broadcast quirk came from a new over head stadium drone shot that someone must have been very excited about because they showed it every 30 seconds. Sure, the Ol’ Sky Dome looks great all polished up and shiny, but the never ending drone shots couldn’t help but remind one of Johnny LaRue. LaRue was one of John Candy’s classic SCTV personas, who in one particular episode of Johnny LaRue’s Street Beat, bet the budget on a crane shot, which in those days of film was a Hollywood badge of honour. No one spoofed tinsel town like the Second City kids from Hogtown.' https://trkingston.substack.com/p/blowd-up-real-good

The list of prospects I’d absolutely hate to see depart in a trade starts with Nimmala and ends with Yesavage, and there’s no one in between. And if the Twins offered Joe Ryan for those guys, my knees would buckle, but I’d do it. Call this the Jeff Kent Rule. Flags fly forever.

Just a note about reading your articles, particularly mailbags on Substack.

When your articles appear on the interweb machine, there are different fonts for questions and answers. Here on Substack it's not easy to tell where the answer ends and the next question begins.

Could you maybe put one of these ----------

at the end of an answer?

I can definitely find a way to format them better. Thanks for the advice!
