  1. I know, and I understand. Two things hamstring Harris #1 - Not knowing the future of our young pitchers and how they'll respond to surgery and treatment and it gums everything up for now. #2 - $40 million coming off the books after this season with Miggy & Schoop and possibly more than $60 million depending on what Baez does (I guess we hope he has a great year so he'll leave?). But they have to bring in SOMEONE this offseason. We have no idea if Turnbull will be ready to pitch or if he'll need time to adjust. We have 4 lefties in our rotation right now with E-Rod, Alexander, Wentz and Boyd and 3 of them are unproven and the other one disappeared for a month last year. Manning? Brieske? Who knows if they bounce back. It's at the point now where I expect him to get TJ surgery, might as well do it now. So now we need to talk about Flores, Kirby, Bergner, Olson, Rony and Madden. How many of those guys will we burn through this season? But that lineup is puke. I'm not saying Harold Castro will be missed, but he was the second-best hitter on this team last year (which is frightening). Sign a couple band aid guys at least. Justin Turner at third - I think that would be alright, he 's not looking for long-term at 38, he gets on base. . An outfielder, a bona fide starting major league outfielder, because the idea of having Baddoo and Carpenter in the lineup everyday is not appealing and until I see him actually play again in an actual game situation, I don't have faith that Meadows will play again. I knew we weren't going after the big guys and some of these long term deals are going to hurt these teams sooner rather than later, but can we at least get a rumor? Something? I look at our breaking news and it's Rick Porcello retires and we signed Matt Boyd. I know Jurckson Profar gets linked to the Tigers, but isn't he the low average, low OBP guy we just got rid of with Reyes and the Castros? Is he any different than they are? What's the point of bringing him here? The deeper this non-involvement goes and hearing quotes about playing youngsters makes me believe that no, there will be no increases in payroll and welcome to the purgatory of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds. This is our future? If there is no apparent increase in payroll coming then what the hell lured Scott Harris here?
  2. Here..............you got Matt Boyd, Be happy with that. Kody Clemens is your third baseman. Ryan Kreidler is your utility guy, even though he's not ready and your outfield is going to be Riley Greene and the 3 or 4 other people who survive Spring Training. Now take this and shut up, because we ain't spending on the payroll this year. Oh, and we extended Miggy two more years because there is no other reason for anyone to come watch the games.
  3. Chance The Gardner almost won Georgia.
  4. This still is not a great day, though. About 49.7 % of people in one of our states thought that was the guy to represent them. That's fucking scary as hell and as bad a candidate as he was, it took everything to beat him. At least I won't get 12 emails a day asking me to donate (at least for a little while)
  5. China is breathing a sigh of relief and our clean air.......while they will keep sending us their bad air and we can't have Archie Bunker on TV anymore because the the liberals. Senator Walker would have stopped China and gotten All In The Family back on the air - he would have done it by running very fast and avoiding getting tackled. Would have showed them. Now, we all lose.
  6. Oh, okay, so David Wasserman says so, so it must be true. And the Giants signed Aaron Judge because Jon Heyman said so
  7. Well Trafalgar had him winning by 9 57-48. That sounds legit, right?
  8. He should have been suspended. Did you really need him vs. Indiana? Speeding. Loaded gun with no CPL and ammo in his pockets driving 50 on a residential street. They did ask the question today and I think it's fair "Where exactly were you going and why did you need a gun for it? This isn't typical college student behavior (Yeah, I know, they're really employees).
  9. Do you think they're gonna let Senator Walker speak on the floor? You just vote like we tell you and don't say anything unless its about football
  10. Anything? I thought Trump reverse sentences on non-violent drug offenders was a great thing - and long overdue and something a Democrat would never get away with (THEY'RE SOFT ON CRIME).
  11. To quote Scott Harris "Generic statement, cliche, blah blah blah, strike zone recognition, we're talking to players who are currently alive, we'll consider any trade, blah blah, cliche, new year, generic something" I feel like these interviews are pointless.
  12. Tigers are just going to sit this week out, aren't they? I'm really looking forward to the outfield of Baddoo-Greene-Warm Body and the 3rd base platoon of Kody Clemens and Brendon Davis. Maybe combined that can hit 5-9 home runs.
  13. Trafalgar has Walker winning by 9 points.
  14. His vehicles (making no attempt at all to look like a cop)
  15. Another photo "I'm not trying to pretend I'm a cop" getup
  16. Jeremy has also claimed to be in the armed forces, but he can not be because he has 2 felonies in his past, so he lies about that too. This is him...........claiming that THIS is not him trying to impersonate a cop. That is a fake badge, it says "Metro State" on it
  17. I don't know. I'm pretty sure he can't vote currently because he's been in and out of jail. he has over a million views on his youtube page, so he actually makes money off this crap. But what is his endgame? I think he believes that cops are just going to acquiesce and say "okay, we'll let you be a cop". When he was in high school he was part of a program for future cops, but he got hold of a police gas card and used it on his own vehicle and well, that was the end of his dream of being a cop, so he just pretends to be one.
  18. Do any of you know who Jeremy DeWitte is ? Dude goes around impersonating a cop. He's been doing this for years. He runs a service directing traffic for funeral processions - because I guess that is needed in Florida? His company is called Metro State and he paints all his motorcycles and vehicles like they are cop cars and he dresses like a cop and is constantly trying to pull people over and he keeps getting busted (because he films himself doing this). He's got some pretty ugly things in his past (soliciting minors, stolen valor) and he keeps doing it and he keeps getting arrested and he keeps begging for money. It's fucking insane.
  19. Isn't it interesting how he goes fully antisemite and now they love him. Shows exactly where they stand. I don't know, maybe any advertisers with Jewish people on their boards should stop stop advertising on their network.
  20. Feels like the Tigers aren't even a part of the league anymore. We're a AAAA team now. I hope Harris changes that. I can't imagine he gets lured away from his hometown to not be able to have some financial freedom. Kind of hamstrung for a couple of years with A - having no real prospects to trade and B - no idea how your pitching health will look in 2024. Just Draft, Baby Tigers 2026 playoff bound !
  21. So the NFC West had #1 picks Matthew Stafford and Kyler Murray and overall #3 pick Trey Lance and Super Bowl experienced Jimmy Garoppolo and the most successful QB in the division is Geno Smith. Can you imagine betting on that to happen, the odds you'd have gotten?
  22. Well, he didn't really live there. It was just for the commercial. (No Sarcasm Guy) I wonder if the 49ers grab him as their new backup. I know he's bad, but he does have experience and the 49ers don't need QBs to do much. I guess the Jimmy G injury is a YEAR not the rest of the Season, so he won't even be back until halfway next season (where he plays).
  23. I am kind of rooting for the 49ers now. I'm guessing the Lions aren't going to the playoffs, but Brock Purdy was the last draft pick, he is "Mr. Irrelevant" and what a story if he took them all the way (or close).
  24. No, I just made all that up. I wasn't going to waste time trying to find all that.
