  1. At least photoshop is better than the painted-on TRADED cards from Topps in the 70's
  2. I think the writing is on the wall for Hill. Maybe he's a Quintin Berry for someone, maybe even the Tigers, but he's just injury prone. And yes, he gets hurt hustling, but you can't ask him to not hustle. I am still pissed at that first baseman for Tampa Bay, who completely steps on the bag. Ji-Man Choi..........Hill got hurt trying to avoid him, but I notice he does it all the time. Someone better warn him that if he keeps doing that he's going to get freight-trained.
  3. If I said "Mixing Weed & Melatonin Again" on Facebook, they would ban me for a week, even though it's completely legal for 57 year olds in my state. They gave me a ban warning for quoting the Carpenters last week.
  4. Sure, but what was Paredes going to be here? If Baez leaves Kreidler is the heir apparent. Both Castros are more versatile defensively. Kid was just blocked. I could see him being a .270 guy with 15-20 HRs for Tampa. Nice career. I think we'll get that power out of Meadows at a minimum, at a position of need. I kind of feel bad for Derek Hill because I think a lot of his injuries have come on hustle plays, but you just can't count on him. I know they once loved Daz, but it seems like Daz has some big holes in his game. Victor is a good 4th OF because he is a switch hitter and can play all 3 positions and he is one of those guys you end up needing more than you think. But E-Sock? No room for him here. Got an everyday starter for him. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE !
  5. Seriously, you all................when's the last time the Tigers pulled off a trade like this? A guy who is still young, who still has a higher ceiling. Wait a minute.............I'm still dreaming, aren't I ? Mixing weed & Melatonin again..................
  6. Could you live with the following 3 years from Austin? .256/.354/.468/.822 28 HR 86 RBI $4,000,000 .291/.357/.502/.859 29 HR 83 RBI $7,800,000 .257/.337/.432/.769 20 HR 85 RBI $9,250,000 I'd take that.
  7. I would like to congratulate the University of Vacated for another championship.
  8. I don't know what Cueto means in Spanish, but in Portuguese it means Washed Up.
  9. Every move the Tigers make really needs to be about being a dominant team in 2024............this is one of those moves. They might have to puzzle piece the OF when Greene comes back, but that gives them a chance to work Greene in slowly, without the added pressure.
  10. Isaac Paredes had nowhere to go here. I think he'll have a fine career once he's allowed to play everyday, but not really being a shortstop now hindered his value to the team. The backup infielder has to be able to play some decent shortstop (along with 2nd, 3rd) and I didn't get a sense that was him. If Kreidler pans out, he jumps Paredes too. What great news to wake up to. I had a feeling they were going to pick someone up (I wouldn't rule out them picking up a bullpen arm still), but Austin Meadows? Well done. He'll now play his home games in an actual baseball stadium, with actual home fans. Gonna be an adjustment for him.
  11. No, they just look at the stadium they're in and lose their will to be baseballs.
  12. Wow, that reminds me of the picture of Steve Yzerman leaving the ice for the last time in Edmonton.

  14. Thank for being honest Randy..........You've got........you've got Tegrity.
  15. only 3 years older than Comerica Park, hosting 10 games a year instead of 41 and falling apart with raw sewage spilling on fans.
  16. I think Manning will be a very pleasant surprise this year. I think it's some minor tweaking, just like it was with Mize and Skubal.
  17. Oh, by the way, my argument is no North or East games before April 10th. The original Opening Day, March 31st, it was 40 (I know the Tigers were supposed to be on the road) April 10th - 58 degrees and then in the 60s after that.
  18. I think the OF situation is Grossman-Haase-Baddoo-Reyes. Other than Haase the other guys can all play more than one position, which is a great benefit to the team for now - and Harold Castro can play out there too. As far as Cameron. I am not sure how many call ups he has left before he has to go on waivers. That might be a reason they don't want to use him right now. AJ said he wasn't quite ready and maybe they don't want to waste a callup if he's not ready. This is the year he has to prove himself, and maybe they want him to do that starting at Toledo. If they call up anyone it would probably be Jake Robson first. They have a little bit of Roster Bingo they have to play to fit someone else in. I expect Zack Short to be cut from the roster as soon as Torkelson is added, I kind of expect Miguel Del Pozo and Bryan Garcia to be cut candidates too because I do think they will add one or two non-roster pitchers to the opening day squad, or maybe pick up someone cut from another team. It looks like Will Vest and Jacob Barnes are coming north. What if Alexander is really really good in his first 3 starts and then Pineda comes back? Pineda to the pen, or Manning to the minors? Oh wait, I am sure an injury will solve that dilemma first. Oh, and why the f won't it get warm? Why is it so damn grey and cold still? This is unacceptable.
  19. boy, the wheels really came off.
  20. To me, Duke, UNC, Kansas and Villanova is the most boring Final Four ever. But thank you UNC. I lived in Chapel Hill briefly in 1994 and I loved it there. Our little radio station was really starting to do well, but the station owner (incredibly nice guy) hadn't paid his taxes and the station was seized and put into the hands of a religious nut - needless to say there wasn't going to be alternative rock on his station. He fired us all and went uber right-wing religious.......the station was dark in less than a year.
  21. What's that like? Blue sky? I hear it's amazing. We don't get that here. Ever.
  22. RFK stadium has been vacant for what, a decade, and it would be better than their current pile of junk they have. There are many slimeball owners in the NFL and he's the slimiest.
  23. How the fuck is Daniel Snyder still allowed to own an NFL team? Force him out like the NBA forced out Sterling. Scandal after Scandal after Scandal, and a stadium that is literally falling apart (it's only 25 years old). Come on, man, get this bastard out. Hell, he'll make a fortune, as even the worst NFL team is worth a billion. He could sell it for 2 billion (more than double what he paid). Come on, get him out. Long overdue. He makes Irsay look like a Boy Scout. This sums up what has happened to Washington football fans in the Snyder era.
