    18-15 with a Goal Differential that looks like a Wind Chill temperature.

    4-1-1 is absolutely terrific when you consider they went 3-1 on the West Coast swing. Being on a long roadie can build team unity. Sometimes it works. And it doesn't matter if Seattle, Vancouver and Calgary aren't good this year. West Coast sings are tough Now, based on the last few years, when are they going to go into that tailspin? Can we maybe avoid that this season and be consistent?

    This Jensen move - feels like it's going to be Joe Nathan 2.0, And Joe had a 3.2 WAR season the year before joining the Tigers. I hope it turns out better.

    Even ink on a contract doesn't mean s hit anymore.
  5. Motor City Sonics
    Yep.

    It's about just being good enough to sell tickets and that's it. It's depressing.

    Mental illness. But please, don't have anyone in the room from HR or Mental Health Services when you fire him. It'll all be fine. Am I to understand this is the timeline - Monday morning she breaks up with him - He (on Monday) fires her - She (on Monday or Tuesday) goes to the school blows it all up - Then he's fired - Then all hell breaks loose. I just can't believe this week. Never have seen anything like this. Nobody has.

    I don't know that they'll let him jump the queue. There are people that oversee that and they really TRY to not give preferential treatment to anyone unless there is a serious threat to the public, and I don't think there will be here. But he can't leave the area now. He's not going to be able to go anywhere without getting hounded. But it's all his fault.

    Well, since just about everyone else in 14-A that goes before Judge Simpson is on You Tube there had better be no exception for him because he's famous. Of course we all know that things aren't equal, but I watch hearings with Judge Simpson EVERY SINGLE DAY. If this is an Arraignment, it will be quick and it's highly doubtful that Moore will say a word, which is an excellent strategy that only a few defendants pursue.

    Remember, they don't put every actor on the poster.

    I was just using that as an extreme example. I think some people see high prospects and they think they are automatic plus players Travis Chapman was going to be an All-Star, remember? The biggest ones I remember were Paul Householder and Clint Hurdle. Both of those guys were can't-miss. I will say this. I trust the current regime's development staff more than any other in my life. The do seem to develop guys pretty well. And the Tigers organization has done a 180. They were famous for always having power arms. You'd look at their Top 10 prospects and seven or eight would be pitchers, but the latest BA Top 10 list has ZERO pitchers. Wow.

    But lets be honest about top level prospects. If 3 out of 10 of them are just average major league players - you're doing better than most teams. It's such a big leap. Rookie ball = One story Bungalow A ball - two story townhouse High ball - two story townhouse with a roof garden Double A Ball - 5 story building Triple A Ball - 5 story building with higher ceilings on each floor Major League Ball - 40 story skyscraper. It would be wonderful if 2/3rds of our prospects panned out. But it's more likely that 2/3rds don't because that final leap is so extreme.

    So many rumors about what the Tigers will get for Skubal. And some very attractive returns. But a sportswriter (and I can't remember which one) once said - whomever got the best player in the trade -- wins the trade. It's very rare when that doesn't happen. Can't think of too many. The Hershel Walker deal.........he was the best player (at the time of the trade) but the Cowboys won it easily. I would say the Pistons trading Grant Hill might be an example, as he was the best player at the time, but in hindsight Ben Wallace was a better player. So the Tigers could get a current starting pitcher and the best 4 prospects on the Dodgers and the Dodgers probably won the trade. Starting to wonder about the Mets now. They lost two stars and Cohen is about to go crazy.

    A position with THAT level of importance and THAT amount of money and there was NO LEGAL OR HR PEOPLE. Yeah, that department is A-OK !
  15. Motor City Sonics
    BET
  16. Motor City Sonics
    Wardo still has a gig.
  17. Motor City Sonics
    There has to be a charge first and they are figuring that part out. Cant go before court without a charge, but the suicide watch will delay that while they make sure the person is as stable as they are going to possibly be. What a mess.
  18. Motor City Sonics
    LOL Cris Creighton
  19. Motor City Sonics
    I wonder what Joe Cullen ordered that night. Spicy Chick Sand combo?
  20. Motor City Sonics
    It's going to be Jedd Fisch.
  21. Motor City Sonics
    not a joke. I thought I saw EE earlier today
  22. Motor City Sonics
    Rodrigo? Coach floors everyone and suits up?
  23. Motor City Sonics
    Raul Malo died yesterday. I knew it was bad, but I was hoping he'd make it through Christmas at least. This really sucks. Good guy. Great voice.

    Hot Seat Rankings 1. Raheem Morris, Atlanta, Too much talent to be 4-9 and now passed by Carolina (by 3 games). 2. Kevin Stefanski, Cleveland, That two point attempt play call was Kev begging to get out of Cleveland 3. Pete Carroll, Las Vegas. This whole organization is a goddamned mess. Pete should have stayed retired. 4. Jonathan Gannon, Arizona. Time to blow the whole thing up - including the complete bust of a QB. Hail Murray was the high point. Blow it up. Trade Murray - get some draft picks. There are a few sucker teams that'll bite. When he's not hurt, he sucks, but he still has Name Clout. 5. Shane Steichen, Indianapolis. They were 7-1 when November started. Now Indiana Jones is done. They're wasting Jonathan Taylor like the Lions wasted Barry. Stefanski needs mercy. I'd like to see him take over the Atlanta job. I think he's bring out they're talent. Best-case Scenario is Andy Reid retires and he gets the Chiefs gig. The lesson here (but for the Colts) is you better handle your QB situation correctly. Falcons, Browns, Raiders and Cardinals are disasters.

    We should be rooting for the Packers, which is painful, but we have a tiebreaker advantage against the Bears.
