I remember thinking that if the Tigers collapse, it’s because he said this.

[Michael Benner (on Threads and Bluesky) @bennertx]

The Detroit Tigers funk began on July 9, top of 6th vs the Rays. Jason Bennetti said “With a win today the Tigers would have the first 60 win mark before the AS break in franchise history. This is a historically great Tigers team.” This jinxed the team. @tigers #RepDetroit

[Michael Benner (on Threads and Bluesky) @bennertx]

The batter (Mangum) singled on the next pitch and the Tigers blew the lead that inning and lost the game. They got swept in the next series vs. the Mariners and have scuffled since. @tigers and Jason Bennetti, only you can break the jinx. Maybe apologize to the baseball gods?

Sad news in baseball today. We'll miss Mr. Uecker for his unique style and the humor he brought to the game.

3/ crashing into each other in a symphony of sticks. A few remaining acorns fell from the trees, snapping their autumn rest and bouncing on the ground before coming to rest. "Future squirrel food," I thought before another gust hit me.

2/ her nose to the grass but did give an annoyed glance at the wind. Leaves somersaulted down the street, crashing into each other and forming small piles that lasted for a few moments before being blown apart. The trees above swayed in the direction of the wind, branches

1/ I think every once in a while I'll post what I write. Here is today's:

A sudden wind blew at my back, almost pushing me over as I walked my dog. She looked up from the grass she'd been sniffing to see who'd disturbed her sniff-fest. When she didn't see anyone, she returned
