  1. If they need to unload a salary, the Tigers could take on that Rodriguez contract. Of course, it depends upon the prospects that the Mariners would attach to the deal, too.
  2. The local polls are looking for more volunteers. I considered for a minute using a vacation day and doing that just to see how things go from the other side of the table. And then I realized I hate people, and that's probably not the optimal day to meet & greet the more obnoxious folks that will feel the need to obnoxiously air their obnoxiousness.
  3. That's fair. I think Mike I gets the benefit of what has he done for us lately when these discussions come up. Also, the Tigers were competitive and went to a couple of World Series while he was owner. Maybe both Mike & Chris are loyal to a fault? Perhaps that explains the first half of Mike I's ownership until Randy Smith was fired and the Avila era under Chris I? Both Smith and Avila ultimately failed, but they also had baseball lifer type resumes.
  4. What an enjoyable game. The outside shooting of Bogdanovic and the athleticism of Ivey & Duren really gave this team elements that we haven't seen in a while. Shooting overall is still a concern, the youth is going to manifest itself into poor play at times (the opening of the 1st as a prime example), and the rotations are going to be ..... wow, not sure the best description for this to be honest. But there are some pieces in place for this team to grow on. There's finally some long term hope for the Pistons.
  5. I wonder how much of that is youth. I don't know when you posted this, but I know while I was watching it last night, there was a stretch at the end where it seemed like a timeout would have been beneficial. On the other hand, was it a matter of Casey testing the maturity of his team?
  6. The Dodgers are a better team than the Padres. The Padres just happened to win a playoff series. That's what sports do sometimes.
  7. Is it OK to both hate the Yankees and smirk with a bit of karmatic grin at the final putout of the series?
  8. That's a fun point, isn't it? 22-29 under Girardi and 65-46 under Thompson. And in the other dugout, Melvin is in his first season with the Padres.
  9. F ND.
  10. Barkley got 10 years, but he said himself he isn't likely to make it that long. I didn't realize he is already 59 years old. That seems crazy to me.
  11. Which polo shirt will Dombrowski wear on his hall of fame plaque?
  12. Orlando Magic vs Detroit Pistons
  13. I thought Trumpers left facebook for parler?
  14. Duct tape & Natty Light cans. Shouldn't be any supply chain issues on a college campus. Gives the engineering department a project. Probably cost effective.
  15. Never say never.
  16. And just like that, Jose Ramirez starts a fantastic double play to get the Cs out of the inning.
  17. Guardians playing a rookie at 1B who has all of 92 innings of professional experience there. He misplayed a throw in the dirt (eventually ruled E6), and now the Yankees have a bit of something going after a walk behind that.
  18. Speaking of Our Lady, I’m not the only one that sees Urban Meyer replacing Marcus Freeman, am I?
  19. Whoa, slow down, G. High school French was a long, long time ago.
  20. I think a lot of folks are intrigued about what Harris does this off-season. The great unknown about his first steps to try to bring this team back to some semblance of decent competition.
  21. Iglesias is a free agent.
  22. Playing waiver wire catcher roulette isn’t enough for you? 😆
  23. I think that’s a valid argument.
  24. Au contrere mon frere. I want better scheduling. It didn’t exactly work out like it should have scheduling Notre Dame this season, but it’s absolute schadenfrude to pretend Colorado State, Hawaii, and Connecticut are anything but cheap wins.
