  1. Where the hell have you been for the past 12 years? Good to see you. Yes Mayfield sucked on Sunday but for the previous 3 games he was top 10. Yes he could be Wentz, and that's another manifestation of how smart Berry is...he has't offered the extension yet, like the Bills did for Josh Allen. He's waiting to see more.
  2. Yes I think that that is exactly right. When you walk into the room to meet the arbitrator, you are stuck with the outcome.
  3. Andrew Berry might be the smartest GM in the league, and the previously meddlesome owners have backed off. They will have double digit wins for the next 6 years.
  4. Do you guys read Peter King FMIA? There is a great quote in there this morning, someone said "I have seen enough of Ben Roethlisberger playing quarterback in my lifetime. He now reminds me of Tevye's horse". Which is freaking hilarious for a football comment.
  5. Ha ha I played for the Tigers from age 10 to 12.
  6. Correa is from the Astros team that openly defied Hinch. So far, we are told, the Tigers are responding to Hinch's leadership. So I don't want a guy in the room who has already chosen to ignore him in the past, influencing the younger players. Of course, if I could choose between Correa and Hinch, it's Correa all day.
  7. Hinch is the reason why I don't want Correa.
  8. Norm Macdonald loved Bob Uecker and how foul mouthed he was when the mike was off.
  9. I didn't know that about Lolich/Freehan. Thanks for that.
  10. I can see myself completely ignoring the whole thing.
  11. Oh OK, that's pretty convincing, I'm satisfied. Carry on.
  12. I agree, he seems to be a smart guy with easy 20/20 abilities. I don't expect the throwing to improve but hitting against lefthanders will.
  13. Could that lineup beat Toledo?
  14. Or like the galley slave chained to his oar, who asks if they are expected to tip the drummer.
  15. He's going to play, both years.
  16. It might have been one of those painful car door injuries.
  17. I always wanted his name before the team name in the box scores. "Neifi Perez and the Detroit Tigers".
  18. And as we leave Minnesota for the last time this year, may we pause again for a moment, as we do every year, in silent reflection. To reflect upon the reason why Calvin Griffith, who owned the Washington Senators in 1961, where they had been for 60 years, decided to move the team to Minneapolis/St.Paul. His reason was simple, there were just too many Negroes living in Washington. Way too many. And so he sought out the whitest large city in the United States that did not yet have a major league baseball team, and found it in Minneapolis/St.Paul. And that is the eternal legacy of the Minnesota Twins, that they exist solely because of the clarity of the world view of Calvin Griffith. Lots of people probably don't know that about the Twins by now, and don't still hate them for it. But I do.
  19. Ordinarily I would say soak him in urine, but he plays for the White Sox, so
  20. Lange has his moments but that 1.49 WHIP isn't going to cut it.
  21. 9-7! Need 6 outs! Bring on that lockdown bullpen!
  22. Don't forget that you keep that volume on the highest shelf and that you will need the sliding ladder to retrieve it. And I understand why you are drinking whisky, the last time I was in there I finished off the best brandy with my cigar. Sorry.
  23. Yes, you have a lot of explaining to do.
  24. I agree, when people talk about his improvement they are envisioning him possibly making the team as a 4th or 5th, instead of being removed from the 40.
