@daniel_jackett @TruckBon Flint-style. Where do you recommend to go for one? I used to go to Johnny's on Fenton Rd but I think it's long gone.

@daniel_jackett @msv430 I got a back-to-school sale email on June 24. The school year in our town ends June 25.

@Jalopnik 1969 Cadillac DeVille convertible with a 472. My dad sold it shortly after I got my license.

@themeparkcreat2 I was stuck in the exact same spot years ago. You'd think it would be pleasant, but it's not. That darn robotic chicken on the porch was squawking the whole time.

@IffyTheDopester I took a nap when Melton was pulled. Woke up for the 10th inning. It was good for my sanity.

Hey, @JacobsFieldRBW, you okay with this?

[Yooper_MN @Yooper_IA]

Jim Callis at MLB Pipeline….new mock draft. He has the Tigers on Jim Thome’s son at pick 22:

22. Tigers: Landon Thome, 2B/3B, Nazareth Academy (IL) HS (No. 37)
Callis: "They’ve taken a bunch of left-handed high school bats and done very well with them. So, I’m going to go high school left-handed bat. ... We like him. We’ve ranked him high all year. People love the hitter. People love the kid."

[David Baker @murrayorangecat]

@daniel_jackett @Yooper_IA Yes, Thome hit 612 HRs, with at least 300 of them against the Tigers.

[David Baker @murrayorangecat]

@JacobsFieldRBW You should be grateful you're not battling with KC to stay out of last place, like my Tigers.

@IffyTheDopester Years ago, a friend of mine lived near one of these in San Francisco, and worried he'd be walking under it when a big earthquake hits.

@PaulMayne6 I wish you would have asked me when I was 6. Or 24. If you ask again next year, I'll have to choose between Zach Logue, Miguel Del Pozo or John Schreiber.

[David Baker @murrayorangecat]

@PaulMayne6 At my age there aren't many to choose from. Here's Tyler Alexander.

@AlTheBoss03 @td_nash True, but I always think of him as #33.

@IffyTheDopester @blessyouboys His grandfather was a late bloomer. WAR was only 6.3 in the five seasons age 27 and younger. His two seasons of 6+ WAR were at age 35 and 36. I'm hoping his grandson can do the same.

@OleTimeHardball I loved his two autobiographies.

@td_nash Al Kaline, seen here making a game-saving catch with 2 outs in the ninth...and breaking his collarbone.
