Or rename it the Obama Memorial. Hopefully, Trump and his cronies will get word of it in their prison cells.

I dont care what the stats say, Tork has gotten better on pop-ups. He used to be an....adventure.

As soon as a Democrat takes office, knock down that piece of garbage.

Would they just talk louder and louder over each other? I could see that.

Wow...Comerica got a ton more rain than we got here. I've never seen it flooded so bad.

7:55 first pitch.

On the west side of the state? Hopefully it breaks up before in gets here.

And a walk and stolen base. No strikeouts. I dont know man, he looks old.

Thanks for the heads up. Something to watch until/if the Tigers start.

People get desenitized (sp?) to warnings because...the last 1000 times, nothing happened. "Go hide in the basement? Naw..nothing ever happens." Until it does.

At least it will wash away that egg i cooked on my driveway this afternoon. J/k

I hope they can get this game in. No rest for the Twins bullpen..

Trump and Stephen A Smith having a war of words. Get 'em Stevie...lol

Scattered storms. Very unstable weather. We have a severe thunderstorm warning downriver.

Now they say no rain. Unstable atmosphere.

True. It could even be pressure he feels like he has to produce to get playing time. And I still say he has a better chance getting a hit off a LH pitcher than Jones does PH for him. Jones is something like 1 for 28 in his last 28 at bats. Something horrid...

RBI are somewhat dependent on having base runners. Keith started out on fire this year, for a bit he was one of our hottest hitters. Then the genius started platooning him and he's been in a slump. Not blaming Hinch, it's Keith not knowing if he'll play 3rd base, be a DH or on the bench from game to game. Some players need more stability.

I looked at the weather for today, yesterday, and it looked clear. Now it says 100% chance of rain. It may be a delay but it looks like it will clear out by 8PM.

I wouldn't trade the 1984 Tiger Championship for any player we dealt to build that team. The final pieces of Willie and Bergman were acquired at the end of spring training. Without those 2, we prolly dont win it all. Its what I mean by building from within and using the trade market for what may be the final pieces. We were really, really close last season...I hope we get to that position again.

Driveway weather update;

I dont think there's a player on the Tigers I wouldn't trade for a championship. Seriously.

Losing Skubal for a draft pick would break my heart. Getting a decent haul for him would make it easier but it would still hurt. Losing Mize would bum me out a bit but I like him more than some fans do. But when it comes to trading Skubal or Mize? Sorry, but I don't have much faith in Harris. I really hope he surprises me if either (or both) of those guys have to be dealt.

Would you trade any of those players for a championship?

I don't recall who was all available or ended up being traded, mostly Suarez. And it matters so little, I don't really care. I would have liked to get a couple of bats in the off-season but it didn't happen so it's pointless. But I really do agree with Harris, hanging onto our top prospects is the way to go. AA or A prospects? Trade bait, except pitching. And some of the utility players on the big league club should all be available.

Anyway, I heard teams wanted Melton last trade deadline and after he came up and I saw him pitch, I considered him pretty much untouchable. Tiger pitching prospects are few and far between. And pitching, IMO, is very valuable.
