I used to be forgiving of him, but then when he admitted it he A - did it on the day of the HOF announcement, stealing headlines from Fergie Jenkins, the first Canadian inducted, but then he B - Did it to promote a book and then C - Signed the book the next day at a Casino. Once he asked for forgiveness and then turned around and signed at a Casino, I was done with him. Degenerate. Don't care how MLB is cool with gambling now, Rose is scum.

Reading about how Sutton has been having blackouts for years, even DURING games, going back to college. Starting to think he might be dead now. I am starting to think that pretty much all non-Kicker/Punter players have some degree of CTE

This pre season has been a total disaster. 19-9 record? Teams always do the opposite when the season starts. That means another 9-20 start. Season's over before May 24th. So sick of this.

I think it's Faedo and Wentz that make it. Wentz because he's left-handed and breathing.

What's left to decide, 1 or 2 bullpen spots, or is that sewn up? We know the 13 position players. We know the rotation.

We're not used to having our pro football team draft really well for consecutive years. When that happens you end up having to pay those guys to keep them. That starts this year and that's why you don't go for contracts like Sneed's This team is better. Got within 3 points of an NFC title with a very young team and a kicker the coach had no confidence in. They'll improve simply from experience and getting a better kicker. The pieces they added will make them better and they still have the draft in a month. Signing another veteran CB would help because even if they draft one in the first round, it gives that player a little time to learn. That's probably the toughest position to learn (outside of QB) in football - another veteran gives the rookies a little time. I think they'll draft 2. CB - Edge - Guard - CB - WR - K ? Could they take a step back this year? Sure. But they are building this team to last a long time and if Brad keeps drafting this well, we'll want heads to roll after a 9-8 season.

Maybe the answer to my question about having another SS is Gio.

Aren't Dawel Lugo, Jose King or Sergio Alcantara ready yet? (worst Tiger trade in my lifetime)

Well you remember when that rich guy Leo Farnsworth bought the Rams and then wanted to make himself QB. He was in his 40s. He would have made the team if he had have disappeared. What was season that was for the Rams. First their QB, Joe Pendleton gets hit by a truck on his bike and killed and then their owner vanishes and they still win the Super Bowl.

Whomever they send down (I think it'll be Red Cheeks), I think that person will likely be in the rotation by April 15th. It's been a parade of injuries for starting pitchers and the Tigers fans are the ones walking behind with giant shovels to pick up the poop.

Plus, keep in mind, he's not Scott Harris' signing. Chris would have to okay a release. Maybe he gets an injury and solves everyone's problem. But they still need an everyday shortstop other than Baez to be able to come in. I sure hope that doesn't mean bringing Zack Short back. Can we aim higher?

I don't know if Javy's sticking around. They certainly wouldn't cut him now, but if we're 50 games in and he's anything like this, they might just cut their losses. I think the end of Spring Training tells a lot. The end of Spring Training is when guys suddenly become available. If they go and get a real Shortstop, even one that can hit .240 and be average on defense (that they can park in Toledo), it might be a sign that they're willing to part with him. It's been pretty close to an epic disaster so far, but there were some salvageable things in the first year (home runs), but not last year. The defense, he's good but is he? Really? 45 errors in two years, a .958 fielding pct. Doesn't sound good to me. If he's going to be this putrid at the plate, I think he's got to be better than that defensively, especially with ground ball pitchers and an iffy 2nd baseman. The disaster didn't matter the last two years because they had no expectations, but this year they should have at least the expectation that they'll be within striking distance into September. Especially in this division. I don't think I'm the only one that believes you can win this division at .500. If he's not bringing anything at all, then why keep going? Sometimes it's best to just admit you made a mistake. It ain't MY money. I really really hope he makes all this speculation useless by doing something. There has to be shortstops out there somewhere. Is career average (.256/.298/.744 with 20-25 HR) too much to ask? If you're hoping Chris puts money forth to sign a big name free agent in the future, this might be the reason why he doesn't. But honestly, building from within is the way to go, anyway. Tigers bad free agent signings All-Time. 1. Jordan Zimmermann 2. Javier Baez (as of now) Who would be #3?

Jim Price, Is that YOU?

Very difficult decisions will have to be made soon. Is it safer to stay here and wait for rescue or should I go out and pursue rescue? Who knows how far I'll have to go to find any evidence of life. We have enough supplies to last until mid-April, but if recuse doesn't happen by then some very drastic decision might have to be made, like, do I actually eat that $1 frozen Michelina pasta primavera that has been in my freezer since 2018? I will do my best to keep you posted on our plight. My dog Lucy is staying as upbeat as she can. She's playing it off like she doesn't care. Her bravery knows no bounds (except when there's thunder). I need to save my strength for the desperate, dangerous days ahead. Until then, be careful and please let me know if the Tigers release Javy Baez.

Tonight's game may have saved the whole season, but based on tonight.................I know this won't happen because everyone is so stat-obsessed, but I think Dylan Larking should be on a short list for Hart Trophy finalists. Supposed to be for MVP, right? Most Valuable doesn't have to mean Best Stats. They have another award for that. He really is extremely valuable to this team. Tonight showed it. Tonight the team played at a different level.

Just used to being disappointed by the Tigers by May 1st. Hope they break the streak this year.

Not since Biggie Bagel's heart attack. Let the poor bagel recover.

The bit where they send Venus and Johnny to the Transmitter site because of a bomb threat.............Hilarious, and that actually happened to me when I worked at WDRQ in Detroit, probably 2002/2003. (WJR gets bomb threats more than anyone would care to believe, but something about this one was very specific that it scared them a bit). The transmitter room was part of a Hebrew school near 10 mile Rd & the Lodge. You know where all those towers are. There is NOTHING to do there, the students were hanging out watching me do radio. They thought it was more glamorous. The fact that Johnny believed there were Phone Cops who were out to get him for smashing a phone was priceless. I've known radio people that were on the paranoid side. Maybe have been chemically-related.

Maybe he's in Aaron Rodgers' tree fort.

When I was a kid (about 12 or so) SOAP was a series on ABC. It was a comedic spoof of Soap Operas and it dealt with a lot of adult themes, sexual innuendo and had the first openly gay regular character (played by Billy Crystal). I was not allowed to watch SOAP, but I did anyway. I would hide under the piano, blocked by the bench and watch. I did this because I often heard my parents laughing loudly. It was very funny. This is the scene where I burst out laughing and got caught. I was allowed to watch it after this.

Gas prices are up again and that'll matter more than all the indictments on Trump. All Biden's fault. Biden controls all the oil.

We had 9 days over 60 with 4 of those over 70 during the Winter and now that it's spring the Wind Chill is 9 degrees. Mother Nature is an asshole. April 5th (as of now) looks like 58 and partly sunny. That'll change.

Gio Urshela leads the team in BA and start more games at SS than Javy Baez Javy Baez released by Memorial Day Tyler Fitzgerald will be the starting SS by the Trade Deadline Kerry Carpenter will turn into Bennan Boesch/Chris Shelton Justice Bigbie becomes the new Kerry Carpenter Wenceel Perez becomes the new Justice Bigbie Colt Keith will hit under .230 with fewer than 10 HR. Riley Greene will start less than 80 games Jackson Jobe, Ty Madden, Matt Manning - all get TJ Surgery Chris Illitch attends more than 8 games in person Tigers finish 64-98 A.J. Hinch fired Alyssa Nakken hired as new manager in 2025. You wanted bold..............
