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. 😅

Turnovers and out of control drives to the basket...terrible basketball.

The Tigers 2026 payroll is up to $228 million? Wow, that sounds like an awful lot.

Agreed. Win enough so any losing streak is insignificant. Last season was a fluke, never to be repeated. But...watch out for the White Sox!

In all seriousness, this Tiger pitching staff, starters and relievers, looks like it may carry us deep into the playoffs. I mean, we have to at least be division favorites, right? Especially if we keep Skubal. Let's Go!!

Let's not turn on each other and just agree Scott Harris is destroying this once proud franchise, huh? 🤣🤣🤣

To be honest, I'm happy Skubal won. A happy Skubal is more important than an deflated Skubal. If he's still here at least. And also...stick it to Chris. 😅

A cap floor would protect against that. At least, in theory.
