Is that the original "Magnum" house? When I went to Hawai'i in 2018, I didn't have time to get out Waiamanalo to see "Robin's Nest", but I was told it was being torn down and a new one was being built.

My Cardinals are like 19-6 in May...but lost 3 out of 4 to the Tigers. They WOULD have been in first place, and 18-3 in their last 21. Detroit has a good team, apparently.

I have no idea unfortunately. My brother-in-law is a native Hawaiian and he says that's it so I am running with it. 🙂

Tigers now 11-0 when I'm watching

12-0 after yesterday.

Yes, I am taking all the credit now.

Thankfully that's gonna be a midweek series and I can pretend to be Switzerland while sleeping.

I believe a team can be hot or cold for a month. Two consecutive months though is a pretty nice sample size. I think it is safe to say that the expectations have changed since the beginning of the season. Will people be upset if they don't make it to at least the ALCS this year?

It is hard to shake my long-ingrained pessimism but I am starting to believe! Still in Hawaii so I am having trouble keeping up with them I. Azad timely manner

A few Skubal outings have been wasted this year. Today, they are up 1 while Montero is letting everyone including the groundskeepers on the base paths. Baseball is strange.

Could be worse.

Could be a "Kids under 13 can run the bases" Sunday.

For the life of me, I cannot understand Hinch's reluctance to SAC bunt in extras.

Back from Hawaii in time to watch Skubal tonight!

Greene, Tork, and Carpenter looking good and Captain Jack in fine form. Man, it's fun to be a Tiger fan right now.

PC-A v. Javy! Another classic Mets trade, which Detroit will try to make look half-decent if Whiffez can hit the ball at all. Rotsa Ruck!

(I know, I know, Javy's doing better this year and his two months in Queens were statistically impressive…if you didn't actually watch the games. But this rematch thrills me just as much as footage of Nolan Ryan pitching to Texas Ranger Jim Fregosi would, if we actually had that available.)

Best wishes, Felines! Remember, the Scrubs should never win any games, ever, so do your part!

(Yes, yes, I should have posted this on Friday, given that the series is actually over now. Sometimes it takes me a bit to read all the threads.)

You hit the nail on the button!!! It has been way too long since we had a team that made us fans this happy. I still am scared to admit we are really good, almost like it will wake me up from this dream and a cruel harsh reality will set in afterwards... I prefer to live in the dream until the very end!!!
