Blame A.I. I sure do.

I feel like the accumulated toxins from the past are being flushed out of my system in a Gwyneth Paltrow sort of way.

All their base are belong to us!

Please, please…

I like the way you think.

This is one of the best endorphin rushes I’ve had in a long time.

That’s kind of you. I’ve been AWOL for a while, but I’m trying to get over my bad attitude so I might be popping in more often than I have.

I’ve been hanging out in different iterations of this place for 20 years. Thank you everyone — especially Scoot — for making it possible and delightful.

All their base are belong to us!

Tork and Baez both did well hitting in the split squad games today against the Yankees and the Blue Jays, each of which the Tigers won by scoring 10 runs or more. I hope the alchemy of the analytic synergy being produced this spring extends into the regular season.

It looks like Mize was able to get through 59 pitches and his arm didn’t fall off.

Has Joe Morgan yet denied that Jobe hit 102 mph?

Baez got his first hit of the spring. when it happened, I felt the Earth wobble on its axis.

I worry that Riley Greene is a benign version of Mr. Glass. Fortunately, the world doesn’t revolve around my worries, but as soon as he was out of the lineup the team did seem to collapse for a while, so he is an essential part of the synergy of this club.

It’s nice to know that I can come here and experience smart people saying intelligent things. This is the only place I really need to go to to learn more about the Tigers. This place is like a page for connoisseurs of the Studebaker Avanti. There aren’t a lot of us, but the people who are here really know their ****. I’m grateful that through all these years, Scott has still kept this place going in one way or another. Thank you, all of you.

That almost qualifies as “young stuff” in my book.

Colt Keith will be Ty Cobb with power while possessing a better public relations sense.

This team might be interesting enough this year for me to crawl out of my survivalist bunker, shed my camo, and pay attention to what’s going on around me.

He’s like Sally Field at the Oscars. They must really really like him. Maybe he’s one of those generational stars so they feel certain enough to do this.

I’m so happy, especially happy for all my friends in Detroit who grew up there that I’ve hung out with, people I know through this site, face-to-face, and only online. This is a great day. I feel like Tiny Tim. God bless us everyone

I’m starting to get ever so cautiously optimistic about this team. But I’m worried that it’ll be like you are nine years old and you think you’re going to get a new bike for Christmas from Grandma but instead you get a framed portrait of her. The movement on pitching is interesting and it looks promising. I just hope there are guys who know how to hit the ball. This hitting the ball thing is pretty important too. Please hit the ball a lot.

I think it’s a good idea to wait and see how things shake out. As if Mike’s children need any more grist for their mill about overspending on free agents, the name Javier Báez comes to mind. I remember when we got Fielder and thought that the sky would be the limit and it wasn’t. Same thing with Gary Sheffield. Somehow, adding one big name to the roster doesn’t add up to a lot, whereas the synergy of adding a bunch of lesser guys who perform above average does.

He’s used to LA, it’s a winning organization with a tremendous tradition, they’re paying him $70 million a year, it’s pretty much a no-brainer.
