  1. Nous avons notre six points, says that French tart
  2. I got fished in on a hockey article a minute ago, about a Canadiens' top prospect staying in Russia for 2 more years.
  3. Did you guys see the headline on mlb.com? "Dodgers eye 4-0 start"
  4. Hillsboro, Oregon? Jim Adduci? I don't see the fit but they'd better start working on an extension to the maternity ward at the local hospital.
  5. This is great stuff, thanks
  6. Is the weather good enough in Los Angeles to be playing early season games there?
  7. Also, Randy Smith is a t*t
  8. When he said Windsor I had it all the way, didn't need the other clues! He's before my time but I always knew the name.
  9. I was about to say that Randy Smith was unsuited for any occupation but then I thought: no...macarena instructor.
  10. John McHale and Randy Smith were highly qualified. After all, their dads were famous baseball executives. Smith was quoted as saying the park was designed for a team to play more of a "National League style", lots of bunting and triples and stuff. Makes sense, in a city whose teams had been defined by power hitting for decades. Randy Smith tucks his shirt into his underpants.
  11. Yes that for sure and also being a good-glove shortstop who will make a fine second baseman.
  12. 5 position players in the top 70, that looks good. It is very un-Tigers like. Everybody loves McGonigle don't they?
  13. I know that Rickey has passed away now, and may he rest in peace. And so with that in mind may I, just one more time, tell my Rickey Henderson story? A friend and his wife were on vacation in Bermuda one year in the early 1990's, they went to a restaurant one night, and my friend saw Rickey sitting with a lady a few tables away. He was wearing a short sleeve white shirt with a sort of black and gray pattern, but he was too far away for my friend to discern what the pattern was. So, having ordered his dinner, my friend got up ostensibly to use the men's room but really he just wanted to walk past Rickey's table to get a closer look at his shirt. And this is what he saw: he saw Rickey Henderson sitting at a table wearing a short sleeve white shirt with a black and gray pattern, and the black and gray pattern was a collage of newspaper articles about Rickey Henderson. RIP Rickey, everyone loves you.
  14. Yes, the 1968 Tigers won with a home grown core, and so did the 1984 Tigers. And this feels like the first time since 1987 - holy cow, 38 years - that the organization has once again stumbled across the formula for sustained success. The Tigers will not win the World Series in 2025 but I am liking 2027 and I think Chris Ilitch will make us all shut the f up and keep Tarik Skubal here for the rest of his HOF career. 38 years, JHC. Bert that is more than half of our lives, that is unacceptable.
  15. How many positions are Willi and Harold going to play?
  16. Me: Do the Tigers have any infield prospects who hit righthanded? You: Hao Yu Lee tiger337: Fine thank you
  17. I asked Hinch how Larish, Fick, Munson and Shelton were looking at third base and he had the same thing to say about each of them: "Moves well for a big man, has soft hands and a strong, accurate arm."
  18. You tell 'em Tork. Why should you take hitting advice from a bunch of nerds in Coke-bottle glasses? There is a reason why they were always the last ones picked in the schoolyard. There is a reason why they never had a date in high school, why they do up the top button on their golf shirts. Really sick of these guys thinking they can take over a game designed for men.
  19. Whit Merrifield is a ****. (as in Allen)
  20. Just say no to Bregman, Christ, why would we want to get stuck with him for 6 years.
  21. There is a piece of cookware called a chafing dish, you stuff it down the front of your underwear
  22. He'll be beating the chicka away with a stick.
  23. I hope he shaves for the wedding
