I agree that October is mostly a dice roll, but I also think that good pitching becomes a little more important with all the days off, so you get a little advantage with top pitching rather than depth. I also don't think acquiring a reliever or two needs to set them back years.

They are not adversarial toward him. He brings it all on himself and most of it is deliberate.

No, it can't. It's something that comes from within.

The media has been very good to Trump for 10 years. No other President would get away with the **** he pulls daily.

I still expect them to acquire a good reliever like Bednar. Their need there is too obvious to ignore and the chaos magic hasn't been working this year. I don't believe Montero is going to be their only acquisition.

Bold move.

This is 1987. He hasn't changed at all. Complete fraud.

Looking at Paddack's game log: he has allowed 0 ER 1 time 1 ER 6 times 2 ER 5 times 3 ER 3 times 4 ER 2 times 5 ER 1 time 6 ER 1 time 8 ER 1 time 9 ER 1 time That's a lot like Mize exept Mize doesn't have anything over 6 ER. So, Paddack seems to be capable of pitching pretty well most of the time, but be ready for a few blow ups.

I have heard the term before and it's pretty obvious what it means. It's part of a corporate BS culture of which I don't want any part. I had never heard the term used in the context of a teenage girl who services men in a spa. In that context, it was not only BS, it was immoral and disgusting. I am not following any party line. If any Democrat is involved, I want them to be severely punished just like Trump. My dislike of Trump has nothing to do with politics. I have known for over 40 years that he is a conman and sexual predator.

A beard on his chin would work. The neck beard thing is creepy though.

One of my favorite Lou Whitaker stats: Middle infielders with most seasons with OPS+ of 100 or higher (at least 100 PA): Eddie Collins 20 Joe Morgan 19 Lou Whitaker 17 Derek Jeter 16 Nap Lajoie 16 https://stathead.com/baseball/player-batting-season-finder.cgi?request=1&match=player_season_count&positions[]=4&positions[]=6&games_prop=50&ccomp[1]=gt&cval[1]=100&cstat[1]=b_onbase_plus_slugging_plus&ccomp[2]=gt&cval[2]=100&cstat[2]=b_pa

If we can go back in time, I'll give you any stations you want!

Yes, I agree with this. I don't know whether there is an organized list, but if there is he'd be the first one on it.

I already explained it. Because there are likely powerful Democrats or Dem donors on the list as well as Republicans.

Greene looks better and hits better without the stupid neck beard.

Businesses can call it what they want. Nobody owns anyone. If a person wants to work at a different company, they are free to do so. Not defeding either one of those POS, so don't go there. Hearing grown men talking about about stealing underaged girls from each other is disgraceful to say the least. Hearing you defend it is also sickening. yes, I do believe that Trump is on the list. Everything about his past history and the way he is currently behaving points to him being on the list. Why hasn't it been released? Because there are likely numerous wealthy and powerful people connected to both parties on the list.

How does one steal an employee? Did Trump own that girl and Epstein stole her? What the ****?

That was always my impression. He never came across as a **** Allen type personality.

Kind of like politicians!

Jim Rice was not nice to the press. He once ripped the skin off of a Red Sox media person because he parked in Rice's spot.

It wouldn't have hurt him, but Whitaker and Sandberg had very different careers. Sandberg was a high peak performer whereas Whitaker never had an MVP type year. Whitaker had a longer career and had more good years than pretty much any middle infielder ever, but never had a great year. The voters appear to favor peak years (and it doesn't have to be a lot of them) over career. On the other hand, Whitaker was a private person who didn't get a lot of publicity, so he might have benefitted from more national exposure, but I think his unusual career arc hurt him him more than anything. Calendar years are arbitrary cutoffs, but it's what people look at.

I'm not really thinking about Suarez much, because I think it's unlikely. I won't be disappointed if they don't get him because the price seems like it would be steep for a two-month rental. I am not opposed to them trading top propects, but only if it's for someone who will be with the Tigers beyond this year. I am hoping for a couple of high leverage relievers with good track records.

Harry Caray was the best.

Rest in Peace Ryne Sandberg, one of my favorite non-Tigers during my favorite period as a fan. I remember him having the original "career year" in 1984. It was the first time I heard that term. The next few years, Peter Gammons would refer to a great year as a "Ryne Sandberg career year".
