Wow I was making peace with the year being over.

reed 11 minutes: 6 pts 6 bds duren 32 minutes: 8 pts 9 bds

Idiot

I hate the current orange bill one. If they want an alternate lid to go with the alternate shirts, bring back this one: That orange D with the white outline on the navy body with the navy lid is dope.

My mind is still blown. What a game. What a comeback. Cade and Ausar are the future of this team.

****ing paul reed outplaying duren. trajan, please, are you watching?

McGonigle keeps building his case for MVP.

🎶 whoa-oh, we're halfway there...

It becomes more distressing every day. I honestly can’t recall when I’ve been this angry on a daily basis. It’s not good for my health - mental and physical- and yet I can’t help but feel such utter despair some days.

Let's not forget about the online rape academy, where men are sharing how to drug their wives and rape them without being caught. Sadly, Sue, I really think that we women are mostly on our own. I'm beginning to think that the poem that ends 'and then one day they came for me....' should have a line in which they come for the women.

Frank was the one I rued letting go, although it's well known that Francisco Cordero was certainly the best piece we let go. But what's little noted nor long remembered from that trade—the biggest swing and miss by the Tigers on it—was that the best subsequent career anyone in the trade ended up having was Gregg Zaun, whom we shipped off to the Royals before he ever stepped on the field for us, and who had five solid years with the Jays during the mid-2000s. Lemondae out of lemons, though: had we kept Zaun through all those years, we may never have signed Pudge Rodriguez befpore the 2004 season. Here's Claude's overview of the trade: The Trade — November 2, 1999 Detroit sent to Texas: Francisco Cordero, Bill Haselman, Gabe Kapler, Justin Thompson, Frank Catalanotto, Alan Webb (minors) Texas sent to Detroit: Juan González, Danny Patterson, Gregg Zaun WAR Delivered Directly to Each Trade Partner Detroit received (WAR accrued while on DET): Player DET WAR Seasons Juan González 1.7 2000 only Danny Patterson 1.3 2000–2004 Gregg Zaun 0.0 Never played for DET Total 3.0 Texas received (WAR accrued while on TEX): Player TEX WAR Seasons Francisco Cordero 7.9 2000–2006 Frank Catalanotto 5.5 2000–2002, 2007–2008 Gabe Kapler 1.5 2000–2002 Bill Haselman 1.2 2000–2002 Justin Thompson -0.2 2005 only Total 16.0 Texas won the direct exchange by more than 5-to-1 (16.0 WAR vs. 3.0). Zaun — arguably Detroit's best return — never wore a Tigers uniform; he went straight to Kansas City. Total Post-Trade Career WAR by Player (All Teams) Detroit's haul: Player Total WAR Teams Gregg Zaun 14.0 KCR, HOU, COL, TOR, BAL, TBR, MIL Juan González 8.0 DET, CLE, TEX, KCR Danny Patterson 1.3 DET Total 23.2 Texas's haul: Player Total WAR Teams Francisco Cordero 12.3 TEX, MIL, CIN, TOR, HOU Frank Catalanotto 11.4 TEX, TOR, MIL, NYM Gabe Kapler 3.7 TEX, COL, BOS, MIL, TBR Bill Haselman 1.1 TEX, BOS Justin Thompson -0.2 TEX Total 28.4 WAR That Flowed to Third Parties From Detroit's players: Player Team WAR Gregg Zaun KCR 1.9 Gregg Zaun HOU -1.1 Gregg Zaun COL 0.1 Gregg Zaun TOR 8.1 Gregg Zaun BAL 2.4 Gregg Zaun TBR 1.2 Gregg Zaun MIL 1.3 Juan González CLE 4.3 Juan González TEX 2.4 Juan González KCR -0.5 From Texas's players: Player Team WAR Frank Catalanotto TOR 6.1 Frank Catalanotto MIL 0.1 Frank Catalanotto NYM -0.3 Francisco Cordero MIL 2.8 Francisco Cordero CIN 2.4 Francisco Cordero TOR -0.5 Francisco Cordero HOU -0.4 Gabe Kapler COL -0.5 Gabe Kapler BOS 0.7 Gabe Kapler MIL 1.7 Gabe Kapler TBR 0.3 Bill Haselman BOS -0.1 The single biggest beneficiary of this entire trade was Toronto, which collected 8.1 WAR from Zaun (2004–2008) and 6.1 WAR from Catalanotto (2003–2006) — 14.2 WAR total, more than either trade partner received directly. Cleveland's haul of González (4.3 WAR in 2001 alone) was more than Detroit ever got from him.

Exactly, JB should be fired for this decision alone not to mention not playing Holland one minute when nobody else on the bench isn't doing anything of note. Absolute trash coaching this series even if they win it.

If you are Gage Workman this move should concentrate your mind on life after baseball.

This was lost in the excitement of the Pistons big comeback. KD killed another team.

Casimir was just joking about Short the other day. Did he know something?

Don't need to convince me he is useless. I'm just saying it wasn't some brilliant move by JB to take him out. He got his minutes then some.

it was 71-57 when duren went out (and he was doing basically nothing). in the time duren was out reed had 6 pts, 6 rebs, and 3 blocks. almost more than duren had in 3x the minutes. it was 72-69 when he came back in. duren is doing basically nothing and having either stew or reed in the game for him gives the pistons an advantage.

From the moment this guy came up, you could tell from the way he torqued his body during his delivery that he was an injury away from ending his career. That said, he did get a couple really good years out of his body.

Yes, that’s great to experience. Also, when the Cubbies win, it’s easier to get out of there faster because as soon as the last out is made, you take off and make good progress toward the exit while everyone is standing around singing. I froze my toes off at the game yesterday. March/April/May at Wrigley can suck really bad. But when the weather is good, brother, it’s the best.

To be fair, Harris can't hit 2's either.

Well, just in case, I hope all the Pistons have their passports. 😅😅

First Half: 0 Blocks, 0 Steals Second Half: 5 Steals, 8 Blocks Cade had 1 block and 4 steals. Ausar had 4 blocks and 1 steal. Reed had 3 blocks. That's the game right there. I also want to give some kudos to Tobias in this series so far. No, he can't hit a three, but he's doing everything else he can trying to be the second scorer on this team because nobody else can/will. Without him this is already over.

The BP has given up one run in 6 IP. If they don't walk this off the BP is going to get the loss but it's not really theirs.

This game is costing me years of my life.

why is duren in this game?

We have to win this. Orlando hasn't made a bucket since Anthony Bowie was playing at Guard for them.

Burch Smith? Needs to keep Texas barking up the wrong tree.

down 9. that's doable. but we need DEFENSE and super cade. duren getting cut on his hand might be the best thing that happened to this team. forced JB to go to reed.

yes, and its bull****. you never know when you'll be a 60 win #1 seed again. indiana is loaded next season. boston too. this was a year to take advantage of the east before your team becomes too expensive to add another piece. but trajan did nothing. he didnt even add marginal pieces like a shroeder or a coby white, he did nothing but move up in the MIDDLE of the draft. its gm malpractice to go along with jb's usual coaching in game malpractice.

I say keep Lee up when McKinstry is back. He’s still a bit raw, but the potential is definitely showing

That's Hao-Yu do it!

Duren can’t start the 3rd quarter. He probably shouldn’t even play. It’s got to be Stew and Reed the rest of the way. Ausar can’t leave the floor except for a quick breath.

No way can they make up a 22 point deficit

I’m distressed that Marcus Semien is no longer with the Texas Rangers, so I can’t make childish remarks about his name.
