  1. Plus you KNOW the Tigers are going to be the front runners for the Ryan Anderson comeback !
  2. Don't crack up, bend your brain, See both sides. Throw off your mental chains !
  3. We don't know what Rodriguez is telling the Tigers privately, do we? I still don't mind the fact that Harris set a price with the teams he spoke to - they didn't meet the price, so he stood firm. In the future maybe teams will understand that he's not bluffing when he said "I want this or this or it's no deal" Honestly, would it benefit the team to trade him for the type of lousy deal Al used to get? No, not at all. Teams knew they could sucker Al into giving in and takin anything. I don't want to be the team that just takes on garbage just to take anything. I'm really not that disappointed in today and people calling Harris failure before his first season is over are just ridiculous. It's still about 2025/26. If they don't show improvement at all by 2025 then I will start to call him a failure. It is going to be quite interesting with anywhere from $40 to $90 million off the payroll next year what they do. If they want a star they'll have to overpay. Gotta give a team Exec/GM four years
  4. I think it's a power move by Harris. He showed the other teams that in the future when he makes a demand he means it. Doesn't help us right now, but it probably does in the future. Teams will know he means it. I'd rather have this than Al Avila panicking and settling for garbage - and the other teams knowing they can play him.
  5. Oregon, Washington, Florida State and Clemson coming to the Big 10 - joining UCLA and USC. There's 20. Is it over, are they done?
  6. So the Commanders can't copyright their name because someone else in sports uses Commanders for something else? How many teams out there are named Tigers or Eagles? Plus some guy copyrighted hundred of potential names that the team could change to when they had no name, so that's hanging things up too? He has no use for the name, he's just copyrighting them to try to hamstring someone. How does that hold up in court? You can't do something like that out of spite. If you're not actually using it for anything legit, how could that hold up? I hate the name Commanders, but apparently every possible name they can change to has had a copyright filed by someone. This is so stupid. Who had Tigers first, our baseball team or Clemson? If it's us, we should sue Clemson, right? Come on man. Just name it whatever you want and site the Tigers or Eagles as examples. Or name the team The Washington RedHawks of the NFL and just call 'em Red Hawks for short. I liked Red Tails as a nod to the Tuskegee Airmen. But they won't have Jason Aldean sing the anthem at a Red Tails game, he'll lose all his racist fans.
  7. So the logo is the same symbol that is used when you want to exit out of a page and it's in the same spot where that symbol would be? Brilliant, Elon, Brilliant.
  8. Colorado is closer to space anyway Maybe with all the small towns in Alabama, Biden didn't want to try it because you know, you'll get shot in a small town. The song went #1, to nobody's surprise. Feeding into the type of paranoia that gets people fired at for things like knocking on a door or pulling into a driveway to ask for directions or delivering groceries to the wrong house. Alabama is very anti-Federal government anyway. So Dark Brandon should pull just about everything federal out of Alabama and cut off the tap too. Alabama is one of the biggest Taker states. They hate Socialism? They hate the federal government? Fine, you're cut off. See how you do on your own. Tommy Tuberville makes Louie Gohmert look smar............wait a second, that's going a bit too far......he makes Louie Gohmert look............wait..........oh hell, they're both stupid as hell.
  9. I used to watch some guy's videos (Dusty Smith) called "Meet The Victims" where he'd show all their "COVID is fake" "Vaccines are bad" posts and then talk about how those same people had died. I think he was up to about 15 videos before he stopped
  10. If you were another GM in the majors, you'd tell your assistants "I don't care if I am in the middle of getting surgery, if Al Avila calls, you patch that phone call through to me"
  11. Okay, but still. If there isn't a guy you'd covet in the trade, then just say no. Use the money you're saving in another capacity. Don't take junk just to take junk. I want to give a shoutout to Jose King, Sergio Alcantara and Dawel Lugo........wherever they are.
  12. If you are the GM here. You look at one prospect you'd want from each (potential) team that you might covet and think would be a fair swap and if that name isn't in the deal, you say no thank you and work the draft. Better than panicking. I mean, the JD Martinez trade........they'd have been better off taking the extra draft pick (well most people would, anyway, maybe not the previous regime)
  13. Would they be better off keeping E-Rod and letting him go free agent..............wouldn't they get a draft pick for him? And if we have trust in our scouting department, would that draft pick be better than some 2nd or 3rd rate prospect?
  14. Why the **** is there replay if you don't want to hurt the home plate umpire by overturning him? He didn't touch short and neither did the strings of his glove Total **** call.
  15. Been listening to Bossa Nova music all day and it always puts me in a good mood. The video for the Bebel Gilberto song, what a beautiful setting that is. I watch that everytime it's cold and grey outside.
  16. I can't - someone stole my blanket.
  17. Trump and his team will probably claim any audio of him breaking the law is A.I. It's going to be the easy go-to now, like every time a football player does something bad their people will claim he has "CTE". This Trump & Guiliani assertion that two poll workers were corrupt in Georgia (taken back by Rudy now) put their freaking lives in danger. This is the one I want him nailed on. There is 100% DIRECT EVIDENCE that he tried to intimidate a Republican Secretary Of State into changing election results. I don't know how much more open-and-shut you can get here. Of course, juries. No idea which way that jury is going to go and all you need is 1 to hang it up. Again, nothing will ever happen to him and every time he gets away with something it actually increases his chances next year.
  18. Our idiotic championing of guns is a sickness.
  19. They way his teammates didn't react makes me wonder if that's the way they keep him off the field in the preseason and nobody can complain about it.
  20. Us believing that the Tigers were a contender - even in this weak division is equivalent to Linus waiting for the Great Pumpkin.
  21. This crappy week is great for the Tigers because there is no way they will screw up and be buyers at the deadline now.
  22. You drop 16 tons and whaddaya get. A great big hole and much higher rent.
  23. Only 5 minor injuries is a miracle.
