one of them is named Richard Fitts bwahahahahahaha

yes. wtf with trading the cat

Twas 2009. Had the Tigers won one more game against the white sox, game 163 would have been avoided. Sigh.

hmph, it worked for me. it recounts the way the granderson trade worked out, with max coming over, and the non-trade of max heading into his final year of team control after the exchange of pissy press releases from the team and boras

in my mind 19 is always the number given to disposable players. i was surprised that anibal sanchez wore it for as long as he did EDIT: I see that Anibal Sanchez wore it with the Marlins before the trade

the big media markets also offer more opportunities for endorsement deals. something in LA or NYC probably would provide multiples of whatever cure car insurance is paying skubal.

Thanks for this!

yes, it was damp and cold. the night's weather started off decent but deteriorated. i watched much of the game from the concourse holding my then-11 month old son

yes! i was at that game. i had won the tickets from the detroit news, which held a contest something like 'detroit's biggest tigers fan.' my entry was that i had (have) a tattoo for this **** team. i won tickets and like some baseball cards or something -- probably all dozen or so people that entered won something. i remember the 8th inning comeback but had forgotten the two stolen bases in the 9th

I remember both. as i recall, the tigers traded for sanchez from milwaukee shortly after dombrowski arrived/became gm. i saw nook logan when he played for the whitecaps. he was as described.

why not both?

I like your thinking but I think that is light for Cease and I think that the Sux would want more for Luis Robert. Even with Cease's down year in 2025, if teams pay like $9M per WAR this offseason (it was around $8M last year), I bet teams would gamble on him being a 3+ war pitcher. He was 4+ in 2024 and 6+ a few years ago.

It was. Lima Time was one of my undergraduate-self's favorites

yes, mike moore was *awful* on that team. that was (one of) the team(s) that had "Lima Time," too
