I tend to mix up Ethel Merman, Kate Smith and Shelly Winters. Same with Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton. Don't get me started on Sebastian Cabot.......

Negotiations always start somewhere. My guess is that Harris opened the door and Boras said Skubal is going to test the open market, which is what Boras almost always does. My point was that I do not believe Harris made any offer to appease the fans, to "look like he tried." My hunch is that Harris did this to let them know Detroit would love to have him stay there for his next contract. Boras likely said there will be no early extension.

He needs 5 more to tie Walter Johnson at 3508. He is hoping to pitch next year.

In no way do I believe Harris made a low-ball offer 2 years prior to free agency, to appease the fans. Whatever the offer was, I don't believe it was made to make him look good to fans. That's not Harris' style

I wouldn't see Harris doing that. I think he might get traded in the off-season. There should be huge offers.

Was just gonna post the same. Can't listen to him

Where was it disclosed? I never saw it

They offered Skubal a low-ball offer? I hadn't heard that

Maybe a vacuum with Ted Williams' frozen head attached?

I think Harris sticks to his plan. I doubt he would make a low-ball offer to appease fans. I do expect Harris and Greenberg to come up with a legit offer within their plan and either make that offer or trade Skubal.

Getting nervous

I would think Malloy gets the call. He's been playing well

Detroit's pitching has been bottom quadrant in mlb for the past 2 months. Trying to patch the holes with dfa reclamation projects isn't working

I agree, but the Yankees are currently the last wc team and they are 4.5 behind Detroit. The Red Sox and Mariners are both 2 games behind Detroit. 44 games remain. I expect Detroit to right the ship, but at this point I will not be surprised if they fall out of the playoffs

If the current collapse continues and they miss the playoffs, I think the odds Scoobs gets dealt this winter go up significantly

Perhaps Lady Gaga will write a song about the collapse of the Tigers' division lead. She can sing it in her meat dress.

I agree, that may be the greatest single season ever for a pitcher. But it's also important to factor in the higher-mound era as a context. Juan Marichal actually had 2 more complete games that year (30). He averaged 8.6 innings per start, while Gibson averaged nearly 9. But again, I do agree. And of course, Koufax had an amazing run just prior to 1968 I believe Pedro Martinez had even better seasons during his amazing 5-year run. Pedro's era was more than a full run less than any other pitcher in baseball.

I use youtube, mostly for music and sports, and Facebook to keep in touch with old friends. I am also on linkedin, but none of the other apps like Instagram, x or tiktok.

Errol Mann will hit a last second FG

Kershaw vs Scherzer. Both drafted in '06, first faced one another in '08. Likely last time today. Watching it right now

I wish Dickerson was full time tv. Great to see Matt V take em home tonight. I'll never forget last season in their run, when Vierling scored and popped up waving his fist. They need his energy right now. Excellent win!

Been busy binging Hogan's Heroes
