Motor City Sonics

yep. there will be a referee scandal one say regarding gambling.

Not saying the NFL is "rigged", but more and more I do believe that the field is tilted one way or the other That used to go against the Lions, but with the Lions pulling in huge numbers whenever on national tv, I do think the leaguer probably will tilt things our way. I think the league wants to see Lamar vs. Mahomes again in the AFC championship. I do think there is a "look the other way" edict for certain teams. With the Lions being the real "America's Team" we could benefit, but just seeing the Chiefs tackle False Starting several times and not getting called and then the missed calls last night, I do wonder. It is entertainment dressed up as sports.

When you see Baltimore get away with 2 blatant penalties on Cincy's 2-point conversion, it does make you wonder if something is afoot with the NFL.

Look at the last few offseasons. We always end up disappointed. I don't think that'll change because of the playoff run. We'll sign more guys than before, but it's all mid-level, short-term and prove it deals. Hope they prove me wrong, but Chris is not like his father.

Nope.

Maybe they're making room for Trinity Benson (so far the worst move Brad Holmes has made).

How many times have you heard his name this year during the games?

Soto is going to the Mets, Dodgers or Yankees. My guess is Mets. Money is no object for the Mets.

Who I would like them to sign? Sean Manaea - Plus lefty To go with Skubal-Olson-Mize Jack Flaherty - He liked it here, we helped get him a ring. He'll be too expensive Danny Jensen - I feel like more depth is needed at Catcher. HaSeong Kim - Solid defensive player, has versatility too, right handed counter to Sweeney/Keith. Level player Pete Alonso - Big Boomer, but I don't think the big boomers want to come to THIS ballpark. The 40 HRs at other ballparks is probably 32 here and that probably means NO. Reality feels more like...... Jose Quintana - Desperate need for a lefty starter on a short term deal Nick Pivetta - Just feels like a Tigers guy. A fine #4 or #5 Carson Kelly - They know he fits the team Paul Goldschmidt - Tork Mentor/Tork Insurance, mostly at DH. But he steeply declined last year.

You know what that means. Antonio Brown is coming !!!! He'll be a GREAT fit in that locker room.

Josh Pachal is back after a cancer scare - great news for him personally, but that's going to help quite a bit. He shows some flashes, maybe he can start to shine. How can you not root for a guy like that (if the image is real).

Where the hell are the Rays going to play? Are they actually thinking of sinking 9 figures into a stadium they are leaving in 3 years? Can't take the roof off because there is no drainage system there and if you have ever been on the west coast of Florida - one thing it does in the Summer is rain. Not for long, but when it rains it rains hard (great lightning shows too - at least there was in Naples when I lived there).

Well, I remember Nick Esasky - when he got Vertigo and he tried for a few years, but just couldn't get right. He might have been a year or two older than Austin. I have not heard a thing about Austin. I think he's just done. That's so scary - how something like that can just derail you in the prime of your life. It's like having an Aneurysm. It can happen anytime anyplace.

Seeing Top 50 Free Agent predictions of people signing with the White Sox, A's and Rays. Why would a north-of-30 Free Agent want to go to the White Sox. Horrible team. Owner either going to sell or possibly move them. The A's will be playing at a minor league stadium for the next 3 years and is the Vegas thing even confirmed yet? And where the hell are the Rays going to play? A minor league stadium in Tampa or Orlando, or will the share the stadium with the Marlins in Miami. They're surely not sinking 9 figures into fixing a stadium they are leaving in 3 years, are they?

One guy I can see the Tigers bringing back is Carson Kelly. And please, just end the Baez thing. It's not his back or hip or anything else that causes him to swing at everything. That's a mental thing. He just lost it, that's all. It happens. A bit cursed with a guy's career ending from vertigo and another's complete game falling off a cliff, but let's be rid of all of it now.

Saw some list that has the Tigers as one of 10 teams that could be in for Soto. Are you kidding me?

Seems like we sign a pitcher to a short "prove it" deal. They pitch well, then we trade them (Mike Fiers, Mike Lorenzen, Jack Flaherty) and speculate we can get them back in Free Agency - but never do. I wouldn't count on Flaherty. He'll want max dollars and more years than the Tigers would want to give - this might be his one shot to get a big contract.

While complaining about Socialists

I'm done with this now. Time to focus on the underwhelming moves the Tigers make this offseason. Journeymen Starting Pitchers and Utility Guys here we come !!!!!

Yes, those traditional values. The tradition of always putting men in charge and watching them screw it all up. I do think we'd be better off with more women running the world.

Won't be anymore FEMA in a few years. You're on your own. (States that all voted for him too).

Welp, once again. They'll screw up the economy and a Democrat will come in after and straighten it out, but not fast enough and we'll go right back to it.

I know a family member who complains about Socialism, but he's been collecting Disability for more than 20 years, but builds decks on the side. I'm gonna rat him out now.

Well then why has Anti-Semitic attacks gone through the roof since he announced his candidacy in 2015? He was already blaming Jews if he lost. Results would not have been the same with a Male candidate

Yes, all those Anti-Socialsm people who take disability (when they can work), or welfare or unemployment. Send back that stimulus money or you're a fraud.
