All Activity

I have nightmares about the Orioles a couple years ago who everyone thought were the up and coming team and then just crashed back to futility after only one and a half good seasons.

Mize's last two injuries boggle the mind. How can an athlete trained for doing a couple of hours at maximum full body exertion hurt himself twice doing basically nothing? I keep hearing that training for injury prevention is now a sub-field within athletic training - pushed early on by guys like Tom Brady. I wonder if the Tigers are hip to that or not?

And I think I am stealing this from another poster - so whomever you are I give you credit, but if you're keeping Jahmai Jones on this team only because he's out of options, then you've got serious roster problems. Go ahead and cut him. There's a very good chance he's clearing waivers - and if he doesn't you've got Ben Malgeri, Max Clark and Corey Julks, who can do what he does and maybe better - and you probably have 2 more after them. And come on. I know they just signed DeJong, but I will take an ice cold Paul DeJong over Zack Short any day of the week. What the hell happened to Sweeney, is he still hurt or did he get hurt again? Waste of a roster spot. How many SS do they have in their top 20 prospects - 5, 6 ? Yet no real SS options other than McGonigle right now. It's such a mess.

Vest hurt and Janson blowing 3 saves in 12 outings. What the heck are they going to do with Flaherty? You can't put him in the BP - well maybe they could try, he usually does get through one inning before he breaks down.

saw a comment by Fed governor Goolsby(sp?). He said the key to him was the uptick in services costs. He takes that as the marker that what is going on is not just tar or tariffs. If you look at it purely as a matter of system dynamics, if you have a higher order system approaching your desired control point, the fastest way to get there is to push the system to just a little bit of overshoot and then have it settle back to the target. The Fed took their foot off the brake before we ever reached 2%, so now we probably can't get there until they raise rates again or maybe do some more quantitative tightening, which the big banks push back against (though Warsh has said he wants to)

Because August 2024 - July 2025 was some sort of strange fever dream and the team has never really been all that good outside of that stretch, which was just enough to get them to the playoffs a couple of times, but not into true contention. Lucky to be in a weak division. Sure, the injuries (Meadows, Beaz, Torres, Skubal, Mize, Vest, Carpenter) have been to a level that can be called ridiculous, but even when they had those guys they weren't all that good, except for Skubal and MIze. I've given up on Torkelson now and I have had enough of Carpenter getting hurt every single year. Mize gets hurt every year too. They have a headcase for a second starter that they are vastly overpaying because Harris and Chris I were on some sort of sugar high when they signed him. Third starter is garbage. Verlander probably can't pitch when it's under 80 degrees. Meadows has missed too much time for injuries, but at least it was on a hustle play. McKinstry turned back into a pumpkin. The Manager tinkers too much. Let Colt Keith hit against lefties, for **** sake. I mean the guys you are platooning for him aren't hitting lefties any better than he does, so let him learn. He's one of 4 decent hitters on this squad. You need to play him every single day until he proves he's not. They have somewhat useless players on this team like Jones and Short. I mean, honestly, if Zack Short is on your team - then you suck. Period. And this team sucks. And baseball reference, can you please have any other ad but that Eric Byrnes ad. Over and Over and Over. Even with the volume down it's annoyng.

Melton and Mize are injured. Valdez is having his usual meltdown games at the wrong time. Flaherty can't get the ball over the plate. I don't know why. They didn't win the reliever lottery this year. Their defense is bad and the the injuries to Baez and Meadows have made it worse.

Here comes the inflation.

Fee Fi Fo Fum... Nazis are afoot.

My niece graduates from law school this weekend. That means I'm watching game 6 in a hotel. My girlfriend is taking bets with other family members on us getting kicked out when I yell at the TV.

Too many uniforms are muddling their identity.

Agree about Austin and Nashville. I think London is off the table for now. They are trying to start that NBA Europe league and putting an NBA team in London would canalize that. If that league fails then London is back on the table. I think once they lock down the two expansion teams they will turn their attention to getting the Pelicans out of New Orleans. Mexico City has to be the first choice.

I agree it wasn't a big deal. It's not like it was the Obama family or something.

Walter Krivitsky - Wikipedia I'm not saying, I'm just saying.

I am not even sure what you are asking me? Was I suppose to be upset with Trump picture someone posted here? First time ever seeing it. Was it suppose to rage bait Vets or something? The stuff you guys get TDS over....

Why can’t we have nice things, too?

i havent been paying attention this year, but why do the tigers suck? i know about skubal, but why is everyone else bad?

i dont think the league would let him move to austin or nashville. nashville will likely end up being the new home of the memphis grizzlies and i dont think austin can actually support a team. san antonio would howl about that. four teams in texas? vegas and seattle are the two areas that need teams and theyre slated for expansion cities. the next places after that might be overseas. mexico city or london.

I don’t know the details of Virginia Giufree’s death, just the description of it as “taking her own life”. It seemed to occur while she was still active in her campaign to out the most powerful men in the world as principals in an international sex trafficking ring, and in public at least, she seemed energized to be doing so.

His bigger obstacle will be the league not letting him move. After the Seattle debacle they are not letting another team leave a decent size market with good fan support over a stadium issue.

It sounds like some help is on the way;

Might as well watch the Pistons tonight

If this goes on much longer they do have to consider a change at Manager. They just do. He had a hot streak from August 2024 to July 2025, but other than that A.J. Hinch really hasn't been all that good, has he? This team is just lifeless, listless and lethargic. I'm so grateful they are in the AL Central because almost any other division and their season is pretty much over already. That's how bad it's getting. Last place in the weakest division, but thankfully only 3 games out. But sinking fast.

This is some dark money stuff https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/us/politics/gop-mystery-pac-midterms.html?unlocked_article_code=1.h1A.7D6K.DmaZZlGgNqzF&smid=url-share

Hell of a performance Tigers. Injuries Schminjuries. You're a ****ing joke.
