  1. I don't think they're going to sign any left-side infielder. Maybe someone who can play first base, but it'll be someone that none of us care about. Someone ranked low on the list. Then reclamation project pitchers coming off injuries. They're not doing anything bold. They got to the playoffs last year, why spend now?
  2. When are they going to give Steven Moya another chance. He's only 33 !!! What about Travis Chapman and Shannon Penn ? Nobody even mentions Kyle Sleeth for the rotation anymore.
  3. I think all those things are factors, but I think maybe the biggest is that when he was with the Cubs and Mets, he was one of many good players (and he was good), but he never had to carry a team. He comes here and he is THE MAN when he does - he is no longer one of many, he is the leader and I think his mentality changed. I don't think he was suited for that role. With the other teams - he wasn't necessarily the focus of the opponents, but with the Tigers he was and they did a better job of exploiting it. All we needed out of him was to play to career averages and wow, significant drop in 2022 and then off a cliff the last two years. It didn't work. Tigers need to accept that, regardless of money. You can go with a platoon of Sweeney/Navigato/Leonard and get more. Navigato is Italian for Navigated.....let him point the way !!!!
  4. Any power rankings that put the Tigers ahead of Cleveland is deeply flawed. Cleveland beat the Tigers because Cleveland was better than the Tigers.
  5. Yes, the 23rd.
  6. Aging = Slowing Bat Speed. He has started his decline now.
  7. Not sure we should totally rule out Andrew Navigato. Quietly had 21 HR, 22 SB and an OBP of .363 for Toledo last year. That's a pretty decent season. Defense is a bit shaky, however.
  8. If only they could finish........they'd have a winning record, they've been in just about every game since the 0-4 start. Young team, it's gonna happen, but the East is puke this year.
  9. You can watch NBA or NHL games for just 7 bucks per game !!!!!! There won't be any free sports on TV by 2030. Well, maybe the occasional MAC football game.
  10. Sure, they need someone to pair up with him. Goldschmidt could be a mentor. They need something. Maybe Mark Canha is available again !!!!!
  11. I thought Josh Paschal played pretty well against Houston and even got a sack. He should be able to make some noise with Z in the lineup. But next year Z and Hutch? Wow.
  12. Why even speculate on Sasaki, everyone knows he's going to be a Dodger.
  13. That's what I was thinking, Tremblay is a common Canadian name, but Litghow didn't do a Canadian accent and he would have. Of course being related to Mario Tremblay, this would have infuriated Patrick Roy
  14. I want Indiana to win so badly this week. What a great story that is. When I was in my first two years of college my high school friend went there and we road tripped to Bloomington a couple of times and had a blast. It's really a cool little town. I actually went to the rock quarry where they shot "Breaking Away", which is one of my favorite movies of all time - still to this day. The slanted rock that the guys in the movie were laying on has been graffitti'ed like crazy and the water was not very clear anymore. The locals really discouraged people from visiting that spot. I used to have this dream about needing to see someone at 833 S. Olive St. in Bloomington. There is actually a S. Olive St too, but no house with that address. Wonder what that dream meant.
  15. I don't think they lose this one, but down the stretch I feel like they need to lose one that they shouldn't for them to kind of re-focus. Sometimes that can help.
  16. Not worried about Goff. Two passes were tipped, the other was a throw punt and yes, he made some bad throws. But if you can get away with a clunker like that and win.......... Besides, when the game was on the line and they needed passes completed he was back to his old self. People just look for reasons with Quarterbacks, Goalies and Closers, don't they? I really doubt Goff plays like that again. Having a game like that can actually be a good thing going forward.
  17. Gee, if we have a weak spot in the next few years and a good player that might take a little bit of a paycut to try to get a ring, it's that kind of stuff that will resonate.
  18. Who gives a **** what he says. That dude knows next to nothing about anything outside the NBA and he is completely unwatchable with all the shouting. He ruined ESPN.
  19. The only thing that threw me about the movie is 2 Americans being considered finalists for Pope (unless Lithgow is supposed to be Canadian). I am guessing the two were Americans
  20. Cardinal Tedesco yells near the end.
  21. So it was his back or hip that made him swing at pitches a foot and a half outside of the strike zone?
  22. I would rather listen to more crickets.
  23. It's an actual movie without a bunch of yelling or super heroes or CGI or blood. A good old DRAMA. We don't get those too much anymore and when we do they are usually smaller indies and with both the Main and Maple Art closing, there aren't many places to see those anymore (when they are new).
