  1. Dont even know where they will play yet...........if the league survives to a 2nd year or even an entire 1st. The Fords own Fords Field and you can put them in a 60,000 seat venue even if they did allow it, that would be embarrassing to see 6,000 people in a place that big. . The old Tiger Stadium spot would need a huge increase in seating, but that is a candidate The field where DCFC plays is a candidate but soccer fans will throw a fit. Seems like Wayne State's football field, with some added seating would be a good candidate, and really, they are the MICHIGAN Panthers, so maybe they could play around the state, a game in Lansing, Grand Rapids, Detroit, Ypsi, Traverse City...........that might get expensive, though.
  2. I hope you're right, but I am extremely worried that as long as Chris Illitch owns this team, we're not really anything but something to do to pass the time in the Summer. And I'm even talking about the Carlos Correa thing. I think he used the Tigers and Hinch as leverage and was never coming here. Fine. There is just as much a chance that Minnesota regrets the signing than celebrates division titles. He was the best of the bunch at a position of need, but 35 million a year for that guy? I've seen his numbers and he's good, but he's not a superstar.
  3. You aren't the only one. I really didn't like their disco phase.
  4. It feels like if Torklegreene flops, we might be in the shitter for another 5-7 years. Empty suit ain't gonna really spend.
  5. Well. We hear a lot about Roberto Campos, a lot of people like him. The other guys are all really really young like him, but it seems like the transition to a more sabermetric approach should really be across the whole organization by now, so maybe that helps in development. After Torklegreene it seems like the next batch isn't that close. We've got Ryan Kreidler and hope he shows what he did last year and maybe we get another guy like him that we didn't see coming, Kody Clemens and Daz Cameron are potential bench guys and both still have a chance to improve. Still need to see more of Dirk Diggler, Izaac Pachecho, Gage Workman and Colt Keith. But after the two big guys, there is a massive drop off. Have heard much lately about Reed Rothchild.
  6. Two quotes come to mind when I think of Spring Training..........One of them is Voice of the Turtle and the other one is "Come on, Dorn. Get in front of the damn ball. Don't gimme this Ole bullshit"
  7. He had to have done something wrong. This is too sudden
  8. you know why they have been so bad at developing talent, right?
  9. The advantage is not having a limp noodle, empty suit as an owner.
  10. without looking it's the Cardinals and the Giants (the 107 wins gives that away). Those teams have a huge advantage over the Tigers............
  11. Mike & Walt reunite for Better Call Saul Season 6 !!!!!!!!! Oh, wait...........
  12. Jackson Jobe is not making the opening day roster. This is an OUTRAGE !
  13. I'll take a crack at the schedule Sept 11 at Chicago Sept 18 vs. Miami Sept 25 vs. Minnesota Oct 2 at Green Bay Oct 9 vs. Washington Oct 17 at Dallas (Monday Night Football) Oct 23 vs. Chicago Oct 30 at NY Jets Nov 6 vs. Seattle Nov 13 at New England Nov 20 at Carolina Nov 24. vs. Green Bay (Thanksgiving) Dec 4 vs. Jacksonville Dec 11 at NY Giants Dec 18 vs. Buffalo Dec 24 vs. Philadelphia (Saturday) Jan 1 at Minnesota
  14. Tork looks old for his age
  15. There is a little 9-hole Par 3 golf course not far from Vegas' airport. Before catching a flight back I played a round with my 2 friends who are much more experienced and better golfers than I am and we did the whole closest to the pin gets a buck for each hole. I won. Mostly because I don't hit it far and it was a hot, dry day and the ball was bouncing, so they aimed for the pin and overshot it, all I did was hit the ball, I know I don't have aim. For amateurs golf is one of those games where the less you think about it, the better you probably will play. On a real course with Par 4s and Par 5s they would have destroyed me.
  16. When building a team you have to estimate when that team will start peaking an d every move you make must be with that year or group of years in mind. For the Lions, like the Tigers and Wings, it's 2024. Stay the course, if it doesn't work, the next guys will build for 2027. Don't do something splashy and foolish that could only turn a 6-11 team to an 8-9 team. 17 game records just look so odd.
  17. My mom, who was not really a good golfer, had two holes-in-one. Drove my good-golfing dad crazy.
  18. 1 time, 11 holes-in-one. Why ever play again ?
  19. He wasn't ready for it because he didn't think it was serious. Will got caught laughing at the joke and imagined what life was going to be like for the next 10 years if he didn't do something. No way Chris Rock knew she had a condition. He wouldn't have said that. He thought she was going for a look and she looks fine, by the way. I worked at the hospital with a black woman who was voluntarily bald. She did it as a gesture for a friend going through chemo years ago and she liked it and said the amount of time it saved her was worth any comments she got. (people assumed she had cancer). She'd wear wigs once in awhile.
  20. The only proper ending for this is Putin's corpse on display to be spit on by Russians and Ukranians alike.
  21. I think they'll likely release him June 1st.........
  22. I think AJ may be sending them a message to not let up.
  23. Yeah, but you know that isn't going to happen until the last possible day it has to happen.
  24. Torkelson and Greene haven't yet made the team according to AJ Hinch. Okay, technically this is true. They won't officially make the team until April 7th, but lets be honest here, they've made the team. I'm still going to the Mud Hens opener.
