"Mickey Lolich was starting with one less day of rest. He pitched the first two innings like a man defusing a live bomb, working slowly and unhappily, and studying the problem at length before each new move."
Roger Angell.
"When we got to the World Series, the people of St. Louis were convinced that the Tigers were no match for their team.
I met Bob Gibson at an autograph signing function years later and he told me that as far as St. Louis was concerned, the 1968 World Series never happened."
Mickey Lolich.
"Mickey Lolich was far from a conventional athlete.
Labelled as too heavy, too slow, and too unconventional, Lolich was dismissed by scouts and sportswriters early in his career.
But with a devastating fastball and deceptive left-handed delivery, he steadily rose through the ranks, eventually joining the Detroit Tigers in 1963.
Over the next 13 seasons, Mickey Lolich would become one of the most durable pitchers of his era, known for throwing complete games with near-superhuman consistency."
"It doesn't seem like such a big deal to me."
Mickey Lolich after becoming the eighth pitcher to win three games in a seven-game Series.
Mickey Lolich won 14 games and started 30+ games for 11 years straight (1964-1974).
His HOF credentials rival many who are there.
3.44 ERA, over 200 wins and over 2,800 Ks.
World Series MVP.
In my HOF!!!

A small town in Michigan voted against a massive Data Center but the developers are moving ahead with the project anyway
Your vote literally doesn’t even matter, they’re just going to do whatever they want
It’s a huge $16 billion project for OpenAI and Oracle. Last September, Saline Township board members voted 4 to 1 against allowing a proposal for an AI data center to proceed
The land has been zoned agricultural for decades, even hundreds of years. They didn't want it to become anything industrial
Now 575 acres of farmland are being rezoned for the data center. The full campus footprint described as up to 21 million square feet. It’s one of the largest construction projects in Michigan history
Here’s what happened
- Related Digital (the developer) proposed rezoning agricultural land
- September 2025: Saline Township Planning Commission and Board voted against it
- Just 2 days later: Related Digital sued for “exclusionary zoning”
- Township settled quickly because they were advised they couldn’t afford the ongoing lawsuit against these tech giants
The plant will use the equivalent energy of 1 million homes
Apparently energy usage and climate change aren’t a problem anymore. Funny how that works…. Just a couple years ago we were told not to use our air conditionings because we’d destroy the planet

@TheMarkMathur @BrettBAuto We’re in the same room, you’re not laughing.

@BrettBAuto I’d try it again for sure. The worst that will happen is me pulling a face. 🤷🏻♀️I can remember being like this as a kid. It makes no sense because I love everything about it but put them all together and yuck. My poor husband puts up with some nonsense.

This is truly insane. Two Stanley Cup finals in 3 years. Still canned. Sheesh.
I’d love for Knoblauch to join the coaching staff of my Detroit Red Wings, but I doubt he’d want to be an assistant coach this season.

The Edmonton Oilers have FIRED head coach Kris Knoblauch 😳 He posted the second-best points percentage in Oilers history while reaching two Cup Finals in three seasons 👏

@DJHouse82 96 hours of zero food ends at 6pm and I’ll be eating some shaved ribeye and eggs.

@TheMarkMathur It all starts with Jalen Duren had he showed up this is a different series right now, now he'll have to show up if he wants to remain a Piston
English

Forget about the non foul call at the end of regulation. The Pistons blew a 9-point lead in the final 2.5 minutes.
They figured out how to win in the regular season, but haven’t been the same team in the playoffs. Period.

@TheMarkMathur @loafinit That's impressive. I can't fast for 96 seconds hardly anymore, much less 96 hours.
English

will any @DetroitPistons beat writer ask the Coach to explain why Duren is once again in single digits in points AND rebounds? 5 rebounds tonight, 2 on Monday and 4 on Saturday. it's the elephant in the room...

@Rustspencercohl I can’t believe it needs to be said, but a criminal is a criminal is a criminal.
English

@loafinit I fast at least 2x per year for the health benefits of it. It triggers autophagy by clearing out damaged cells & regenerating new ones. It also is good for gut health and mental clarity as well as strengthens willpower and energy.
Day 2 is the hardest & gets easier thereafter.

@Sweetheartsour1 Awe… 🫢 Sarah’s finding the excuse to adopt!!!
