All right, that's an awkward way to start a Tuesday, but we are here nonetheless.

Rico Beard to my left, nuptials cot to my right, Paul Serra, sitting in for David, and we are ready to roll.

Rico, let's build off yesterday, shall we?

Let's do it.

I want to build off of yesterday.

We were all talking about this, guys, and you are not required. This is not a

yes or no. I'm going to offer everyone a platform. So yesterday's show was interesting. It was a

redux of the trade deadline. Rico was here for the actual deadline. I obviously returned yesterday.

And while I didn't love the Tigers deadline,

there was no ad hominem attack.

There was no yelling and screaming.

And we asked people about, look,

the Tigers have a plan.

They're faithful to it.

It kind of is Tampa Bay-esque with a slighter,

with a bigger payroll.

But they're not all into Win a World Series you're just if you're not willing to give up anything of consequence

you can't claim you're all in so

it was interesting is that by the phone lines

people were upset by the ticket

text it was the blind defense

the gaslighting and the straw man arguments.
