Well, I've also heard speculation that the Tigers offered him a contract but I really don't know the details. My point is the same, any player going into free agency is gambling on his health and production. Its a multi-million dollar gamble. And pitchers are so....delicate.

Think politics is bad now? I just binged "Death by Lightning" on Netflix. The story of President Garfield's assassination. Things were quite crazy in the 1880's.

I joined in February of 2005. Got tired of all the trolls in newsgroups.

Joe Biden did it;

He wants the NFL Washington team to take back the Redskin name and name their stadium after him. What a pathetic little man he is. The only rulers who name things after themselves are dictators. How much longer before he decides to put his likeness on currency? Maybe a new 50 cent piece?

I heard Trump once say he's done more for "black folks" than Lincoln did. And he once pointed out a black group and said they were his "black friends" I always wondered why they tolerated that from him, they should have walked out

And all the protesters should wear masks. Give those violent racists a taste of their own medicine.

I saw this earlier but thought is was parody.

Howard Cosell says Hi.

Oh yeah. And we also had Grapes who would post a long post with no punctuation and mis-spellings that caused his words to make no sense and I would spend 10 minutes trying to figure out what he was saying that usually made no sense anyway and was sometimes racist or sexist when he did get a thought across from his rambling brain to his keyboard while many people argued with him so I always wondered if he was for real or just a troll. Whew...that's exhausting. 😅😅

No more 2024 starts with the entire lineup in a 2 month slump. Making the playoffs was an amazing feat that season.

Yeah, some good times on the old forums. It was the father of a player who was on here and said..."dont make me come to Royal Oak to kick your ass." It was a part time outfielder....hazy memory...

The Strategy Expert?? Didn't he say he had a secret formula that ranked players? And Dave Dombrowski was spying on him? Kinda scary...

But other teams would also lose guys to free agency after the same 3 years. So yes, we could have lost several players but a huge pool of replacements would be available. At a huge cost, much more expensive, but out there to sign.

Well, maybe not Skubal but many free agents, who were offered contract extensions, take a gamble that theyll stay injury free and that they will put up good numbers, increasing their worth. I'm surprised the Tigers didn’t at least try or offer Skubal a contract. Not that Boras would advise him to sign it but to let him know the risks of possibly losing millions of dollars.

It will be a huge credit to them if/when Skubal makes it thru the '26 season, injury free and with good stats. They're really gambling so he can get that $400 million contract. I dont know if the Tigers offered him an extension or not but if so, they're risking it.

This win is their season highlight. They were more hungry and the Pistons looked bored from the start. An ugly loss, very ugly. The Knicks are in trouble tomorrow.

One of those games...in an 82 game season, even the better teams lay an egg. We can make it up tomorrow night against the Knicks...it's on Amazon Prime.

Washington playing way, way over their heads.

Washington has 99 points with 10 minutes left in the 4th quarter....Washington!!

Its why we all have such high insurance rates...or one of the reasons.

This is hard to watch. Just...no.

The Pistons are playing stoned.

I dont like the challenge rules either. It seems like when a team is out of challenges, all the closet calls go against them.

It was a really quick comeback though. Down 22 points in the 2nd quarter to basically tied at half? They musta heard me screaming at them. 😅
