There was Rodriguez' effort, and also the Tigers scratched back into it. Sucks to lose in the 9th, but they didn't fold in the 1st.

I agree with you. It just didn't work out.

Elmn Castro.

Will it get him through the year? Hey, it was a fun story last season. But it seems to have been a good couple of months, and no more.

Right. Most of the options have been awful. A poke in the eyes or a kick to the chotzkies, which would be preferable?

Next thread: Corn Flakes or Frosted Flakes? Kelloggs or store brand? Skim milk or whole milk?

Wasn’t there a full moon a couple of weeks ago? Did it decide to stay full?

One of the few (6) with an above average OPS. Sad but true. Sadder and still true? Only 3 of those 6 are available to play tonight.

Keep your eyes up, champ.

Nope. No evidence in the college threads.

We're missing the obvious. They're pitching to Javy Baez like he's Neifi Perez. Its just that simple.

During the rainout? Hmmmm….. you might be onto something.

I agree that he was resigned in part because he was well liked. It may have been a situation where the Tigers let him shop himself around with the understanding that they would be willing to bid above. Now as far as Ilitch not spending the money elsewhere, I disagree. That was his drunken sailor era. Perhaps he wouldn’t have signed anyone else that offseason (I really don’t remember when it occurred and who else was out there), but he wasn’t shy about making it rain. The Prince Fielder signing is an example of that.

Sure, if they’re hitting the bonus thresholds, then they’re doing what they were signed to do.

It’s not the fans’ problem directly. Primarily I hope the Tigers add talent. It’s easy to think that comes with salary, and generally that’s the case in free agency. I go back to the second deal they signed with Victor Martinez. That salary would have been better spent elsewhere. Seattle was rumored to be interested at the time. The Tigers could have used that salary space for someone more productive and gotten a pick as well.

And away we go! Please, nobody get hurt.

Fog on the field from Morris’ ego during pregame.

Ah, the bonuses, I'm thinking the opt in years. I is a idiot.

As long as it doesn't involve disappointing results for the Pistons, bring it.

Never understood the lack of acknowledgement of opportunity cost and the realization that teams don't have unlimited budgets.

That's a fun box score. NBA player Danny Ainge is in there. The Underwood brothers started and accounted for 52 of the 54 outs recorded in the game and had game scores of 80 and 75. The game was played in a crisp 112 minutes.

As long as he did it without injury, that’s cool.

Javier Baez = Neifi Perez as an example.

What's the over/under on Detroit 40 man Ps on the IL on July 14th?
