All right, let's get to business on a Tuesday, or as I call it, 48 hours before Saratoga.

Nope, that's not my button.

Wow.

What a drop.

Yeah, I know.

That's my bad, David.

But very nice job by Rieger and Mark Ryan. And we're going to build

off of something they did at 3 o'clock regarding the Lions. But I do want to open with not only

48 hours from Saratoga. But I want to start with a little bit of Tiger Talk. And nothing

hyperbolic, nothing crazy i i i want to know

if you're feeling what i'm feeling which is okay they've lost seven out of eight that's i don't freak

out about stuff like that i mean let me give you some evidence i mean a j pinch got a world

series with a team that had three six game losing streaks and still won 104 games. I'm not freaking out. Right. But it's okay to talk about it now, unless you're part of the payroll media. Like, it's okay to talk about these. It's sports. The seven out of eight games, what I'm going to argue is the

following. You're getting a taste of the playoffs. And you go, well, wait a minute. The Rangers aren't

that good. The Pirates blow. Seattle's fring. No, no, no, no. You're getting a taste of

playoff pitching. And your lineup wilting under the pressure.

And could you say,

okay, Tigers, Rico's nailed

this. I think Rico's right. I hate

saying that, but it's true.

Happy Tuesday to you.

Happy Tuesday. I wore this just for you.
