  1. I didnt watch the game because I have 2 full time jobs for the next couple of weeks, but please tell me............Did Cisnero only throw one pitch?
  2. Awwww Wittle Ewon got his feewings huwt.
  3. Not when you don't really have players anyone would want to trade anything good for and an owner who has yet to prove he's committed to, well, much of anything baseball-related.
  4. Yes, I agree with all of that. Scott Harris made MASSIVE changes in the team structure, changes that were long overdue. And even if Harris does everything 100% right with drafting and developing, this team has no real shot at being decent until about 2026. But still. We've been beaten down for a long time here. Not just with the Tigers, but with all our teams. It's been a horrific sports decade and only Michigan & Michigan State have occasionally given us something to get excited about. In the moment it's just brutal. We all understand where the franchise is at, but damn this is hard to go through AGAIN. We keep hearing the Red Wings are turning a corner and then they fall off a cliff. The Pistons are an absolute disgrace and I don't think they'll ever contend again because we are now in an era where players determine where to go and nbot teams (and none of those guys want to play in a city like Detroit) and the Tigers didn't get all the way to a World Series win 2006-2013 but at least it was exciting. It's so bad that the Lions are the hope now. The freaking Lions.........are you kdding me? (And I feel like it's a wait-and-see for which truly bizarre curse-enabled thing happens to them that lets us all down). We're all just tired of it all and being told to wait again is really hard to take.
  5. Ask the Pistons. 7 years of tanking has only taught them how to lose. Plus they have a very slim chance of getting the #1 pick even with the worst record. They got the #1 pick 2 years ago and he's play in about 35% of the games he could have played. Pistons might as well move to Seattle.
  6. Well, I would like to thank the Tigers for saving money - because I will not be buying another month of the Bally Sports app. I mean, I could save money and pay a dominatrix to whip me in the back. It would be less painful than watching this for another four months. Maybe I'll buy MiLB and watch the Mud Hens.
  7. AJ Hinch is suffering a fate worse than suspension.
  8. I've broken that bone catching the corner of a wall in bare feet. He likely won't be out too terribly long. If it's a hairline fracture he could be back in a month. But of course, why rush him? Mike Lorenzen............YOU'RE UP !
  9. That was like predicting the sun coming up. But I will go to the liquor store anyway because I need a fuckin' drink. Eliminated by Mother's Day...........again.
  10. The way I feel about the way things are going, I am expecting to hear that in Manning's last inning he started feeling pain in his arm and he'll be getting TJ before June. That's just how it is with this team. And to answer your question Tigerbomb, I don't know if they do break 50. But they already fired everyone, so who do you blame now? Chris Illitch for not realizing Al Avila was a bust 2 years earlier? It's 1989-2005 all over again and on that time line we are in about 1996, we are in for a very long, painful slog here.
  11. It was 5-3, I went to the bathroom..............WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? And it was only urination, it didn't take that long. Kind of cruel leaving him out there to suffer.
  12. Englert - first pitch goes bye bye. Ugh.
  13. What would it take to get Devin White, who wants to be traded. Two 2nd Rounders? 1 this year and 1 next?
  14. I think if he hadn't been coached by maybe the worst defensive coach I've ever seen that maybe his career gets off to a better start and he becomes the player some thought he would become. Most of us were disappointed with that pick on draft night and most of us were right.
  15. Took a #3 pick and turned it into a 5th Round pick. Bob Quinn & Matt Patricia just kicked us in the balls one last time - because this is more on Patricia and his horrible coaching more than anything else.
  16. I wouldn't give up on Faedo. I think there is something there. I don't think he's a starter, but I do think he could be a plus reliever. He's just gotta stay healthy. He started out solid last year, but he's one of those guys that doesn't get over by the third time through the lineup, but as a reliever we actually might have something there.
  17. I don't have a Twitter account and I sure as hell won't get one now. But someone who has, you need to find West Michigan Whitecaps announcer Dan Hasty calling an AB in a Caps game like it's The Masters, completely with the serenity piano music. It's great. Please repost it here, I can't.
  18. I don't understand with how meekly this team is hitting how they aren't bringing Nevin up. Left Handed/Right Handed doesn't seem to really matter, does it? Kreidler could use some ABs in Toledo. Cutting Schoop wouldn't do much to hurt this team. Maybe some think cutting a veteran would hurt morale, but maybe they need to shake up their morale. Yeah, I know it's early but it sure feels like a runaway train.
  19. I think the 2019 team was worse than the 2003 team and now they are giving us every reason to believe we might be in the same spot again. 3 times in one generation. Are you kidding me? Still haven't produced an All Star position player form our own system since, what, Travis Fryman? This goes across multiple regimes here. Reminds me of a scene in Taxi where someone wonders why they always get mushy apples from the vending machine and Alex says we have to buy up all the mushy ones until we start getting the fresh ones that were just loaded. But Tony says if we buy up all the mushy ones right away, the vending guy is gonna think we like the mushy ones and he'll just load mushy ones all the time. All we have is mushy apples. Don't even bring up the bananas.
  20. Awww........that's........that's a shame
  21. Yes, but one owner got sick of it and overpaid for Pudge and Magglio, which started a turn around. If he was still alive I think things would be quite different. I nominate that we use a new word to describe games like Saturday & Sunday. Tigers got Avilaed. The Red Sox Avilaed the Tigers.
  22. Okay, I went to this website that graded all the teams' offseasons. Lions got an A- and nobody got an A or A+. They had a rank lower than F. They called it MILLEN. We lived through 8 years of that. So bad that his name is a description for ineptitude. Green Bay's offseason got a MILLEN.
  23. Oh well. Price of Freedom Thoughts and prayers If all the good people had guns Yada Yada Who's the cast of Dancing With The Stars this season?
  24. Well, I have known people from both genders with those names.
