  1. he left holland with the wings and avila with the tigers. i'm not sure what he's done with those teams to indicate to you he knows what he's doing. seems to me he just left the guys in charge who were there. i.e.: the easy thing to do. but i dont know, its pure speculation on my part obviously.
  2. the idea of the tigers moving is ridiculous. i'm as cynical as anyone and it makes no sense to move them. for fucks sake the PIRATES havent moved why would detroit? a town that is much bigger and actually supports its team? besides, as has been talked to death here, there arent too many markets left that could support a baseball team. charlotte? nashville? austin/san antonio? vegas? all smaller than the detroit metro area and all without baseball stadiums. i have 99 problems with the tigers but a move aint one.
  3. i think ownership is a hindrance because the first thing he did was put avila in charge because he didnt know what else to do. he got lucky with the wings when yzerman fell into his lap. he had to make a decision with the tigers and totally blew it.
  4. when we went back for a wings game a month ago, we stayed at the hilton garden inn downtown. it was fine. just a short walk to the stadium area.
  5. if they cant stay or get healthy, its back to 4 or 5 wins.
  6. 7 or 8 wins if they stay healthy and get some luck. end of the season looks favorable.
  7. they already owe the bulls a protected first.
  8. actually it means he's a lock hall of famer.
  9. TWTW, the only stat that matters.
  10. bledsoe, a lottery pick, little....a trade exception?
  11. that would be the play. not sure what portland could give them back, but if he really wants to leave that would be a way to make sure the bulls dont get stiffed.
  12. baez will eventually come out of his slump. at some point, do you blame the baseballs?
  13. rumor is lavine might go to portland. if the bulls lose lavine, they wont be very good. they lost a lot to injury this year and that killed them, but when lavine wasnt 100% they still had derozan playing better than he ever has and vucevic and they were very bad.
  14. this was always a developmental season. the season is boring so far because tork has been predictably overmatched, greene is hurt, mize and manning are hurt. skubal is the only real reason to watch now that miggy has 3000/500/600. when the rookies come back, there will be another reason to watch. the regulars arent going to be this bad all season. guys like candy and grossman and baez will get hot. baez is gonna have two weeks where he hits 400 and slugs 600.
  15. so with the releases so far we assume: open with philly at home. on the road against the pats in week 5. bears on the road in week 10, giants on the road week 11. bills on turkey day. finish at home against the bears and then at the packers.
  16. full bears schedule released. they might win 5 games.
  17. the bulls pretty much have to offer him the max or he'll walk. i wonder if new management has the stones to let him leave?
  18. 1) because the rest of the league was doing the same or very similar things. houston just got caught. 2) hinch was going to get the white sox job until reinsdorf decided to hire his old buddy larussa. 3) hinch got more out of this god awful team last year than we were entitled to see. this year? injuries and a piss poor talent base have caught up with us. it happens. this team had little margin for error and needed a lot of luck. theyre not getting any luck.
  19. i wouldnt be surprised if detroit took another defenseman this year. its unfortunate, but this team is still so far away from contending that they should take the best player on their board. now, if there is little difference on their board between a left handed d man and a center, then take the center. but if they think there is a star d man there, they should probably take him.
  20. neither cooley or wright are at the level of mackinnon or crosby or any of the other "franchise altering" players. so there's no reason to give up assets to get them. that's next year. and you can be sure it wont be detroit that gets one of them.
  21. lets double down on being the least athletic team in the league.
  22. there is no reason to trade up. if there was a generational player worth trading up for, no team would trade down.
