Too early to call Tork a bust. Plenty of guys who had great careers had terrible rookie seasons. Doesn't help that he was dropped into the middle of a shit lineup. Where is Grossman getting traded? And why hasn't it happened yet? Tell me the logic of keeping a guy around who is not part of the future when we should be looking at Daz, Baddoo or even Carpenter everyday? Why is Scott Coolbaugh still employed? Obviously he has not found any solutions for veteran hitters like Schoop and Candy Now Garcia is out and he was pitching well. Who the hell is Garrett HIll? Our 14th starter this year - in half a season. Meanwhile, according to Chris, the rebuild is over, it's been a successful season and whatever tradable pieces we have left (bullpen arms), are in the hands of Al Fucking Avila, who will probably draft a high school pitcher again. And where the hell is Eduardo Rodriguez and is he really out of touch, and if he is, are you morons still paying him? Good night.

Fans who use the Crackle app who use the code "Manfred Sucks" at login get to watch a AAA pitcher pitch because our FA signing decided he made a huge mistake coming to the Detroit Tigers.

During Spring Training, our fanbase continually grouped him with Greene in suggesting that it would be insane for him not to be on the Opening Day roster. And now? We are declaring him a bust. Shit, he smacked a missile in this game and people still appear to be suggesting he needs to head down I-75. He will be fine. I am fine with him getting ABs at this level and learning major league pitching...

And the MLB.com app on my iPad and iPhone are both a day behind on the audio. When I click in the audio link in Gameday, it goes to yesterday’s archived game instead

Trump’s hair is getting to Flock of Seagulls levels of absurdity

Today is my 30th birthday. I began posting here when I was thirteen. Means you guys have been around for more than half of my life! Just a thought I had while lurking around this morning. So thank you! Sorry for making you all feel old.

Craig Monroe just yelled HE GOT BUSH...................That'll be a drop on 97.1 forever.

Re slavery, I learned something today during a presentation at Colonial Williamsburg. I only caught part of the story as we were just resting under the giant oak for a bit. Anyway, during the pre Revolutionary times slaves could buy their freedom if they could afford to. They still needed permission from the Colonial Governor and pay a "Freedom Tax". The tax was good for 6 years and the rate increased incrementally every time. If they couldn't afford the tax, back into bondage. Interesting that part of history never came up when we were taught in high school 50 years ago. I doubt that it comes up today.

I still wouldn't be surprised if it was Miggy especially if his BA stays above .300. Yeah it's an empty .300 and this isn't 1980 where BA means everything but still I think between the lack of any guaranteed options on the team, him getting his 3K hit this year and with him being on his last legs of a HOF career to go with that .300 average may be enough for him to get a charity selection for the team.

What the eff is this Peacock broadcast with C-Mon and some other dude calling the game from the merry go round? Everything about this team is an effing clown show.

The Cardinals hit four consecutive home runs in the first inning yesterday. The Dodgers hit three hone runs in the first inning last night. The balls are juiced and every at bat is about hitting a home run. That’s some boring shit after a while.

The kid ain’t even 23 yet. And he’s not the only underperforming bat on the roster.

That's a weak interference call

Seriously, I think anyone from this board could run a team and do this. Pay me that salary, at least you'll have the excuse of me not being a baseball guy, because YOUR "baseball guy" is a schmuck.

Agreed, I already pay for mlb.tv and cable...

Willie Horton with a new book releasing July 12th. Preordered and can’t wait to receive it. His new autobiography, “Willie Horton: 23: Detroit’s own Willie the Wonder, the Tigers’ first Black great,” co-authored with Kevin Allen, is scheduled for a July 12 release. That is one week before Horton heads to Los Angeles for the MLB All-Star Game after accepting Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker’s invitation to be the American League’s honorary coach.

If you showed me two random photos of kids assembled in the auditorium of a high school, one from 2005 and one from 2022, I’m not sure whether I could tell you which is which. But two different years, and I could definitely tell you which is 1976 and which is 1993.

here is the twitter link so you can see the picture.

On the news they said the last time back to back for a walk off was 1952. Thankfully Baseball Refence has a little "wo" next to walk off scores. The last Tiger who had a Walk Off for his first home run? Lou Whitaker, July 28, 1978. Tigers 4, Mariners 3. He hit it off Enrique Romo with Ron LeFlore on first base. Dave Rozema got the Complete Game win to go 5-5 with a 2.97 ERA. For those of you under 30, a Complete Game was a thing where pitchers pitched an entire game.

That would actually answer Ronz’’s original question, if that was last time. Some more I found about my game which is neat but doesn’t answer Ronz’s original question.

September 9, 1952 Tigers 5, Red Sox 4 as Cliff Mapes & Joe Ginsberg hit back to back home runs to tie and then win it. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/DET/DET195209090.shtml

That's what we need to see.

I was floored when I heard that and then he went on to call Chris a cheap slumlord that doesn’t deserve to have his old man’s last name. I thought Trevor Thompson was going to explode on the spot. Great stuff

Reyes, Riley rock Royals! Walkoff win, wow!

How the Hell good is Riley Greene going to be?

Big props to Keanu. One of the highest paid entertainers on earth. Attending an event completely associated with rich/wealthy people. He is being hosted by a team that is the poster child for opulence. Still looks like a homeless person.

Nice photo showing the early days of Las Vegas. Complete with a mushroom cloud from an atomic bomb test in the desert.

I'm so sick of these dipshits being entitled to their own fiction as fact

By the way, if you didn't hear the news dump. Michigan is leaving the Big Ten for the MAC.
