It’s awfully considerate of you
to think of me here
And I’m most obliged to you for making it clear
that I’m not here


Because I'm not, you know. My body is elsewhere, probably up to no good.

I was born lonely
down by the riverside
Learned to spin fortune wheels
and throw dice

You're probably thinking - that sneaky old Magpie. Gives us thousands of words yesterday on the Tigers of the past because he's got nothing to say about the Tigers of today.

Blowing like a circle around my skull
From the Grand Coulee Dam

The end of the 2021 season's last long road trip comes into view.  Yes, after spending most of the last two years on The Longest Road trip in history, the Jays will spend most of the final six weeks at home. They have a three game trip to Detroit next week. They hit the road twice in September: once to visit New York and Baltimore, and once to visit Tampa Bay and Minnesota. They play 25 of the final 43 games in the Dome of Home.

And if California slides into the ocean
Like the mystics and statistics say it will

Two games on Tuesday, Shohei Ohtani on Thursday... this week will be lit, as the kids say.

Not that it's likely to mean much of anything but the Red Sox have lost six of their last seven.

The Jays have won just 6 of 15 meetings with this tiresome Boston outfit, despite outscoring them 87-67. Boston has won by such scores as 8-7, 6-5, 2-1, 5-4. The Jays have won by such scores as 8-0, 18-4, 13-1. Well, if you have to beat them senseless... might as well beat them senseless. That's what I always say.

Who wrote that tired sea song
Set on this peaceful shore
You think you've heard this one before
