if there's anything the Ilitch family has shown over their years as business owners is a love for tradition and respecting the past.... they're not the kind of people to raze an old building just to put up a parking lot to make money. I

I'm not sure I like being ranked a rookie again... Apparently I need 14 more points to reach the next level, whatever that may be. Help a guy out and LIKE this post (and my others please)!

Well sleeping with the entire football team would be a good start.

I hope they don’t use this as permission to go to solid colored tops. I mean, I won’t abandon the team over it, of course, but I sure would like them to stick to whites and grays. Just personal preference.

China is depressing. I'd rather get a bottle and go tai wan on.

I’ll get back to you after I Formosa an opinion.

I bet Inge could've accomplished that feat if given the chance, atleast the 03-06 version. I think he wouldve been capable of handling short, maybe not full time but he'd be good enough to play there a couple dozen times a year.

You are capable of liking things other than when you were young, impressionable, and having things imprinted upon you. This is good. It’s commendable. But it’s too late to call off the drone strike. Leave the house for the next hour and I’ll put in a good word for you with Allstate.

Seems to be a paradigm shift for the Tigers. 40 years old. He’s worn different caps. Doesn’t give up. Major leaguer. Plays in Korea and spends his last season in the Atlantic League. Stays in baseball one way or the other. Has managed pro teams. Has seen developing talent from ground zero as a college coach. Sounds like he has the fresh eyes to see things others might not combined with analytic insight that keeps him from liking guys that merely “look like baseball players.“ This is a promising development.

who gives a **** what football players do

The salient points...thank you Cody Knowing he was an MLB 1st baseman does nothing for me. Knowing that Fetter and Hinch are his coaching tree...that helps.

i think of myself as a traditionalist but i wouldn't mind different color jerseys as long as it is strictly on the road. i hated/still hate the change to the home jersey D a couple years ago. The mismatching between the hat and jersey was part of the charm. and the tigers tried to say MLB was mandating it to enforce logo uniformity. but the yankees jersey NY and hat NY still don't match

I liked it better when it was anonymous. It was like I had a secret admirer.

This seems fitting. I just looked at my MTS profile, and apparently I ended on 10,000 posts exactly. 9,997 to go to catch up to that.

I like that we can see who reacts to posts now.

You've accomplished the hardest part already!

I think there’s a professional courtesy issue at hand here, in which all teams freely use the cards and no teams want their use of them to be questioned or put in danger, so they allow each other to use them without publicly threatening to undermine the practice. This may exist in the same vein as sticky substances or spider tack earlier this year: managers were loathe to call other teams on its use because their own pitchers used it to good effect. Professional courtesy. There may also be the very public act of Kiermaier picking it up and simply walking back to his own dugout with it. He publicly disrespected the Jays when he did that. That’s the kind of thing that just doesn’t go unpunished. I would like it if the incident were to spur a discussion inside The Game about whether the use of cards during play should even be appropriate, and whether they should move to a sort of “Amish baseball”, in which all the technology you want to use is fine while prepping for the game, but once you cross the white lines, no cards, no tablets, no smartwatches, nothing but printouts in the dugout. Maybe make players actually memorize tendencies about the other team while they are out on the field. Wouldn’t that be a kick.

I anticipate a rough flu season because of relaxed COVID protocol compared to last year. As far as the flu vaccine itself, why not just add it to salad dressing?

For the record, I got my results yesterday finally. Negative. News flash: other illnesses still exist in the world apparently!

I mean, the ball was clearly going forward and his arm was hit so that should have negated the intentional grounding. Goff also took a hit to the head so they could have even flagged Green Bay for roughing the passer or hands to the face.

That wasn't close to being a fumble or intentional grounding.

I’d be fine with a road copy of the current home. Navy blue Old English D on the left chest, navy pin-striping, just on a road gray set instead of the home ice cream whites.

Everybody had those plain block letter jerseys back in the ‘60s. Well not “everybody” but in the AL I know the Yankees and the Red Sox dId because I clearly remember those jerseys. That might’ve been it. But there was a quiet, austere dignity about them that made the statement “our flourishes are on the field, not symbolically, “and we will dispatch you quickly and efficiently.” I like the brute simplicity. But color is nice too. I really like the road uniforms they have right now. But I have nothing against some of the wild stuff the Athletics did in Oakland.

Just an FYI we are currently projected to pick 13th in the draft. Its looking like barring a collapse by us or a team behind us like the Padres, Phillies and Reds(each have 4 less losses than us) we will be picking between 11th or 14th. After 4 straight years of top 5 picks this is gonna feel a little strange.

Do the Rays have someone who can read Canadian? Take care of your shit, Blue Jays. Don't get mad when you don't. This is nothing like the Cardinals exec hacking the Astros database.

Do the button up style on the 70/80’s version as well and we’ll have a deal. Love the ‘68 roadies. vintagedetroit.com has some Freehan & Kaline ‘68 tees that mimick the jersey.

For some reason when I see that 68 road uniform the player that I think of is Dick McAuliffe.

Correct. I love both these

Last weekend I ran a few errands and decided to just flip through some stations, I don't even know the station I landed on, but they were playing this. Just fantastic.

I don't think you are legally allowed to say that about the Lions.

Just noticed this place existed in one of the many thread titles on MTS. I guess my work productivity was good while it lasted….

Great, I was loved and admired as one of the founding members on the old forum and now I am a Newbie. Can't ya bump me a few levels MotownWebGuy?

Hello, how are you? Have you been alright Through all those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights? That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything If you'd pick up that telephone Yeah, yeah, yeah Hey, how're you feelin'? Are you still the same? Don't you realise the things we did, we did, were all for real? Not a dream I just can't believe they've all faded out of view....

I'm posting a message just to see what it looks like. Bruce

Wow, now I'm an Apprentice! My dreams are slowly coming true...

That's what all Newbies say...

Likes should be earned. Still I'm a brown nose so......

In Idaho where I live the entire state is under crisis level. St. Luke’s which has several hospitals in Idaho has 67% of its total beds taken up by Covid patients. ICU is 95% Covid. Almost all these people are unvaccinated people. They literally spit in the faces of doctors and nurses accusing them of crimes against humanity and demanding to be given “alternative treatments.“ And the response of “real Americans“ in Idaho is to spray paint swastikas on St. Luke’s Hospital in Sun Valley to protest vaccinations and masks.
