I don't want Tarik Skubal tearing anything lol

This started off about Herschel Walker having a son he didn't acknowledge and became what about Joe Biden who didn't put out a stocking for a grandchild he may or may not have. You seriously going to go there?

tiger bats will keep things cool

They've had plenty of embarrassing results this year, but getting your ass kicked and needing to use three position players takes the cake. Whatever it's about, it's probably about time

So, do they let Miggy pitch the 8th?

On a similar note I just came across this tidbit.

My wife the lawyer says: "If your mother says Lauren Boebert is a ho, better check it out before you believe anything that cray"

RIP Philip Baker Hall, great character actor. Memorable rolls

What has Hinch done outside of Houston, who continues to be a contender without him, that would make teams fall over themselves to hire him?

Or Schoop. Or Candelario. Or Haase. Or Wil…. Ok, that one is a bit much.

i'm scared larussa will die and hinch will get the sox job. lol, what am i saying? reinsdorf would still prop up tony and make him manager, weekend at bernie's style.

It’s not Hinch’s fault but I’ve got no issue firing him since he’s going to leave on his own this off-season.

Still waiting for you to backtrack gracelessly on this one, chump.

Take a walk around the District Detroit at night and whistle, you'll hear your whistle echo off the buildings and the parking structures because there is nobody else there to absorb the sound. I love that they guy won't give in on selling the house. Good for him. To hell with Chris. I miss Dad.

How's the District Detroit coming along?

Exactly:

There is one undeniably great thing going on right now........................This board lets us fucking swear. If ever there was a year to need that..................

This should be close to a league average offense (maybe a little less) instead of the worst offense in 80 years. I don't know whether that has anything to with him, but if Ausmus or Gardenhire were the manager, they'd be getting blamed for it.

if you want new leadership but want to preserve some of the organizational reforms Al has done you bump him to team President and put a player acquisition specialist into the GM role while Al worries about resources, marketing and finances.

Meanwhile in Texas…more infrastructure failure.

It’s this bad: I would rather watch your grandson’s little league team and i don’t know you or what town you live in.

Think about it............ The team who might win their 3rd straight Stanley Cup was largely built by Steve Yzerman. Makes you feel good. There's hope. It's taking longer than we'd like but you see the potential there. I trust Yzerman. He gets five more years before I start wondering. The Pistons were in quicksand for years and Troy Weaver has come in and made a bunch of moves and most of them are working, he's got the skeleton of a good team and he's got the budding superstar. A good draft pick and a above average free agent gets them into the playoff chase. I think he's done wonders very quickly, even thought it isn't showing in the record (part of that was by design) The Lions seem to have hired a sensible GM that doesn't say a bunch of stupid shit and doesn't act holier than thou. So far I think Brad Holmes has had 2 pretty good drafts, but we won't know. The coach? A bit of a buffoon, but far better than the arrogant ass we had before. The players LOVE the guy and they'll fight like hell for him. There's hope, not this year, but even national pundits are talking about the Lions. And then there's Al.

i thought he should have been fired after the jd martinez trade.

I hope you looked at the post I made last night during an angry outburst. You saw what 20 years of drafting has brought, as far as position players. You couldn't even put a full respectable lineup for 20 years of drafting. I'm not giving up on Spence, I'm not giving up on Greene, but this idea that Colt Keith or Ryan Kreidler or Roberto Campos will come to the rescue is ridiculous. Right now our development guys are busy screwing them up somehow, probably tweaking the things that are working to the point where they don't work anymore. I don't know, I just know every single person involved in scouting, drafting and developing players needs to be fired at the end of the season. I shudder at the thought of them having their hands on another draft but you can't really cut everyone loose in mid-season. I know it won't happen. I know Chris doesn't care, so here we are 1988-2005 all over again, and with that as the standard of suck, we're only in 1996. Gonna be a great fuckin' decade.

Can we skip ahead to the part where Dan and Jim go against corporate?

I like how Dan and Jim have now basically resorted to saying that, offensively, nobody is worth keeping on this team, without actually, directly saying it...yet.

The big conversation today is Parkinson's Disease in loo of baseball. I was diagnosed with Parkinson's several years ago, I don't want to watch baseball and listen to that shit. But there isn't much baseball to talk about with the Tigers playing.

At this point the fanbase should be in full revolt. A struggling team with a near 80-yaer old manager, who doesn't seem to know what he's doing just came in to your house and pissed all over your rug and laughed. This has very little to do with injuries, the injuries have been mainly pitchers and the pitching staff has held up remarkably well. You have one kid who had a remarkable start to his career on the mound and has only 1 win to show for it becuase of your horrible lineup. Kid had a bad day today, he ain't perfect. Boycott this team. Don't spend a dime on merch, don't buy tickets, don't give them your money anymore. This is repulsive. This aggression can not stand, man.

He has been on for an hour ? Crazy and so unprofessional. Is it a talk show or a baseball game ?

Have you heard some of the crap he has said? I'm not saying this isn't bad, but it's lower on the list of reasons why I don't want him in DC.

The Yankees series was my last straw in having any hope for a turnaround. This dumpster fire of a franchise is the new Lions and Chris Illitch is the new William Clay Ford.

Is this another ‘What About’ venture? This started out with a specific article about a specific topic. That didn’t last long. Any comment on the Biden piece? Have you read either link posted, including the CNN link?

Hunter had a child with a stripper and denied the baby she had was his. A paternity test proved otherwise. Joe Biden has made references to his grandchildren and consistently the count is one less than he really has. Last year they had stockings up for all but that same granddaughter as well at the White House.

Iin college sports? Not likely again in our lifetimes. College sports is on a firm track along the road to perdition.

On a side personal note, I am going packpacking in the appalachians this sunday 19th through next sunday 26th. I will not have access to a pc. If someone would like to take the reigns of game threads that would be much appreciated.

You might want to sit down. You are going to be waiting a while.

Knowing that most of that scene was improvised makes it even better. You can see Jerry trying to keep from breaking character.

Can't wait for it, probably will be my go to guide when it gets published.

Yeah we don't need a scout to tell us whether Kerry Carpenter is actually somebody to get legit excited about, the fact that he hasn't got injured yet is all the confirmation I need to realize that he probably is destined to just be an organizational guy, if he was destined for more he'd already be hurt by now.

Jim Campbell said that his big regret was letting the '68 team get old. We have often remarked on how wonderful 1976 was with a team that was so entertaining to watch in spite of its losing record, thanks to Fidrych, Leflore, and Staub. Still on that team though, incredibly, were Freehan, Horton, and Stanley, 8 years after 1968. To give Horton his due his OPS+ was 117, but only once since 1969 had he played more than 119 games. To be fair to Campbell what was he going to do with Freehan and Horton, trade them or release them? They were gods, and in Freehan's case he was still the best in the organization at his position (although Bruce Kimm caught Fidrych). Campbell did trade Horton the following year, but not before giving him a curtain call...on opening day in 1977 he started in left field for the first time in years, to thunderous applause. After the game he was traded in order to open a spot for Steve Kemp. Clearly Campbell had that deal already made in spring training, but he brought Willie back one more time, for Willie and the fans. That was a big time class move by Campbell, who does not get credit for very many of those.

andrew vaughn was really bad last year. this year he's pretty good! i expect a similar trajectory from tork.

sure, but after 5 years of drafting we had a couple guys in the top 10 prospect lists! rebuild. over.

Yeah, and it seems to be decent enough quality video to boot. I didn’t think video of it existed.

I know, I was watching all the footage in Chicago on one TV and the Tigers on the other. Storm Porn. We got very very lucky.........
