  1. Lou, Freehan and Lolich are all underappreciated by non Tigers fans
  2. You can wager $10 @ +400 that at least 17 members will agree with you
  3. I'm too young to recall 68. I do remember 72, including Campy's bat throw at Lagrow. My father talks of the 68 team much like AJ talks about this team. A lot of fight to the end wins. In 84 it seemed Lou always lead off with a hit and they scored right away, and dominated. I didn't look at stats. Maybe I'm misremembering, a la Petite. Since last August I've been loving this team
  4. I'm with ya. Since 2013 I've despised the Red Sox the most. Yankees and Dodgers right behind them. While I'm at it, eff the Celtics too!
  5. The Twins have won 10 straight and barely gained any ground
  6. Javy's walk off was the first time I'd seen it
  7. So much fun. Since last August this has been a great ride. And it might continue for several years

  9. Boras played the biggest role. Detroit's offer was mostly leverage for him. Boston eventually ponied up. He is tearing it up with Boston and they have a ton of young talent. 3/120 with opt-outs is a good deal
  10. These pics are getting blown up and planted on my living room wall! Payback for 2013. Big Papi will suffer!!!
  11. Thayron has been in a deep slump. Good to see him connect on one. Hopefully a sign of a positive stretch coming up
  12. Since the White Sox don't deem with worthy of being on their 40, I doubt any team claims him. So Detroit will have the option of buying him back if they are interested.
  13. Is Larry Herndon still available to catch the final out?
  14. Somebody put the walk-off to moneyball. I love the catcher's reaction https://www.facebook.com/share/r/15zyVAzvhx/?mibextid=xfxF2i
  15. Fantastic game, best of the year so far!
  16. Steven Moya and Reynaldo Rivera - heart of the order for a decade! Add in Christian Stewart and they are contenders
  17. Gleyber is hitting .304 with .857 ops and 145 ops+. His D has been acceptable imho. Great pick up by Harris so far
  18. I think he has to clear waivers, and Detroit would have to decline to buy him back before Chicago can send him to a farm club. But my understanding of such things is on the level of Clifford the big red dog, so who knows.
  19. I think that's just SI speculating on the reason. I'm surprised the White Sox are dropping him from their 40. Wonder if Harris will offer a trade?
  20. His ball was very electric today. It's easy to see the elite stuff. But yeah, he needs work on command
  21. Wow, looks like Workman is getting dfa'd already by ChiSox https://www.si.com/mlb/cubs/news/former-cubs-infielder-gets-dfa-by-crosstown-rivals-after-foolish-comments
  22. Iirc when AA took over for DD, Burrows was Detroit's #1 prospect. Oh how times have changed
