I'd be happy if the Tigers got him.

Does that come from seeing it on TV, past experience or word of mouth/keyboard?

I agree it's mostly about winning, but some winning teams do better than others as do some losing teams. I think having an appealing ballpark and having exciting players plays a role. I woud agree that fans seeing empty seats doesn't matter. I can't imagine a fan not buying tickets because they they saw empty seats on TV.

Bregman would have to be fully healthy and performing for at least a week prior to the deadline. If he is and Vierling is not healthy, then I could see them adding Bregman for the stretch drive and post-season. If everyone is healthy at the deadline, I think they will just add pitching help.

That is true of most teams. Every team would love to have an all-star at every position, but that's almost impossible to do. Platooning and pinch hitting is a function of necessity rather than design. Even so, knowing how to do it effectively is a valuable manager skill.

That probably won't be great for the discussion, but it will probably be good for the site and help keep it funded. Edman's going to be scolding everyone though.

I think he and Shelton left at around the same time.

Nobody that matters will care, but that was excellent.

I was thinking of Pete Reiser. I was just a little bit off. Not even a White Sock.

Sheltlon, Is that Mr Biggleworth who signed up for the site earlier the Mr Bigglesworth?

This might be my favorite and he was so nonchalant about it.

That's not surprising. As great as the 84 Tigers were they had the Blue jays trying to sneak up on them most of the year.

This site is becoming almost unusable now for me with all the pop up ads. Is everyone else seeing a big increase in ads?

I hope there is a good showing across the country. I'm just not expecting much from my town.

Those are incredible catches...but don't give Greene or Meadows any ideas!

They've got a No Kings protest in my home town. It will probably just be three old ladies and couple of hippies with signs, but I'm probably going to drop by on my bike ride to see if it's more than that.

I never had a route, but I did my friends route a couple of times. I disliked the dogs who were a lot less tame in those days! Fortunately, I never had to collect.

AI has a lot of potential and some will use it well. I have been able to use it in my work a little bit. Ultimately, you are right though. AI is not going to work by itself and magically makes things better. No matter how muxch we hear about "machine learning", people still have to design it and manage it and know how to use it. There will be some good in it, but I fear most of it is going to be garbage in and garbage out and it will be primarily used to serve the needs of of corporate billionaires.

They never do anything when it counts.

Says who?

Gotta vote on bills that will help his private sector position before he leaves.

It really doesn't matter what they call the parade. Holding an expensive parade after gutting the government supposedly to cut the deficit is incredibly hypocritical and insulting. What do we need a military parade for? Everybody in the world already knows we have the biggest, most powerful military in the world. It's not North Korea.

I subscribe to nothing online unless I am going to use it frequently. That means baseball-ref and fangraphs for me. That's it. Sometime I want to read a Story in The Free Press of News, but it's just not worth it for me. The Tigers news will get to me eventually. If I miss a story about about how Jackson Jobe's grandma taught him how to throw a curve, then so be it.
