Reading the 2008 season "expose" Tiger Confidential by Andy Van Slyke is instructive in the effects of suddenly adding players without regard to chemistry. Gary Sheffield always seemed to be annoyed to be there. Dontrelle Willis had his anxiety issues. Miggy may well have not been focused due to demon rum. I hope the Ryan Garko signing which points to an understanding of psychology in team-building portends better results for our sudden influx of new and expensive talent.

I wouldn't hold my breath but he is the problem.

yes indeed

Very amusing insidish baseball stuff

Yeah baby! My joy at Japan having carriers with the same names as the ones we sunk at Midway and elsewhere...out there working with us to blunt Xi's attempt to bully Taiwan into submission like he has done to Hong Kong.

Yeah, he knows how to work those knives.

I had Japanese Steakhouse tonight... didn't wow me like it used to. Sad.

I support returning the Crimea to Ukraine. Nothing good happens in Putin’s Russia

I notice that the Trump Troll doesn't post in this forum. I guess he's not clear on why it exists.

Its the immediate assumption I have of anyone who propagates sedition and insurrection.

Ever consider this guy is a paid troll?

This was a good ending to a screwy, but delightful season. Respectable again. Next season: World Series.

I hope I haven't given anyone any ideas.

Dudes probably had one guy with an actual loaded weapon. The stories of moose in Alaska terrorizing entire companies of the Army guys up there because they go on exercises without live rounds. The one guy with a gun is to ensure that nobody steals all their weapons.

That was an ugly loss to an ugly team.

Day going very well up to this point. Daughter makes killer game saving play in softball. Son makes Eagle Scout. Michigan wins big where not expected. Dog back from weird joint surgery and back in the fold. Come on boys. Lets get back at this.

Bryay Garcia is eating this

screw this

Post of the day

I picked up randomly the Andy Van Slyke “tell all” about the 2008 season. wow is interesting to read in light of that team having such high expectations and only winning 74 games. This season brought so much extra joy because it was such a bonus to have competitive baseball if not championship caliber baseball back.

I'm very glad the final game against the Minnesota Pure Evils ended in a W.

The Briggs era Tigers were not much better. That legacy has taken a bit of time to clean up under Mr. I who genuinely seemed to be "racially, pretty cool" to quote The dude.

bleep

BONUSBERT!

So that's a season wrap for Tarik?
