Rare night with me out until 2am. Amazing night of live music. Sad the Tigers loss for my friends and the bars in town. Now a couple of hours of sleep and wrestling way too early in the morning

Nothing like being at a show with some of the best bands in town and half the crowd on the phone (myself included ) keeping an eye on the ball game. Go Tigers

Except the sound is off by a second lol. When it rains it pours….

Mike Whaley @whaleystatic.bsky.social · 22h

Exactly why I was watching it there. I backed out and went back in and it’s ok now

Mike Whaley @whaleystatic.bsky.social · 22h

Oh and it’s not just the game, it’s the commercials too lol

Productive tv watching day for myself today. Watched the first three Slow Horses eps of the new season. Caught the latest ep of Gen V and Taskmaster. Then the season finale of Peacemaker. Now bed time

I know this is left field but this entire line of thought is incredible proof that there is one huge group chat and we’re not in it.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Yep heading up for that and the NSL final. Can’t wait to get up there for the weekend

Mike Whaley @whaleystatic.bsky.social · 2d

I was thinking the same thing but what can you do. No matter where they go from here this year has been magical

Hope everything is well my friend. You hitting the Canada game in Toronto in November ?

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s home runs have been magical.

And his Grand Slam was majestic.

But that hustle home, launching himself to the plate, tells you everything you need to know about how badly he wants this. Outstanding.

Insane. Their base running had been on point all year though

We all know the limits of pitcher-v-batter stats, *but*
when Vlad Guerrero Jr. has exactly 0 K in 21 PA with a .588/.667/.941 against Carlos Rodón, I at least want to know more ahead of a huge Game 3.

Here is more on what to watch for tonight -->

The most important matchup in Tuesday’s American League Division Series Game 3 is going to happen in the top of the first inning, just three batters into the game, when Vladimir Guerrero Jr. steps int...

So a mind blowing day. An incredible opportunity presented to me and now watching the Jays while contemplating

Goosebumps for Fred Jackson’s pre game hype up #BillsMafia

No Henke or Caudill? :)

Mike Whaley @whaleystatic.bsky.social · 6d

Such a little thing but letting Yesavage pitch to the first batter so he could get crowd response is awesome. Also not letting the Yankees see him again as @dannyspxp.bsky.social pointed out.
Save that arm for the future knock on wood

so fun seeing Vladito thrive! had the joy of watching him up close in the minors a few (“few”) years back www.theringer.com/2019/04/26/m...

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Is Baseball’s Prince Who Was Promised

Toronto’s über-prospect is the son of a Hall of Fame legend, a human highlight reel, and, at long last, a major leaguer. He’s also carrying the hopes of a sport and the heft of his father’s legacy on ...

Ummmmmm this was pre grand slam

Lot of baseball left to be played and I’m not saying that sports excite me but…
