    it speaks to my point that those teams were BUILT around hitting. they got fluke years from pitchers other than morris (who was steadily very good, but never great). they won when they got fluke good seasons from good pitchers but the core was always the hitters. dont confuse a fluke season from mcclain or willie hernandez as the "core" of the team. im not saying youre doing that, but others are. those teams - and all the great tigers teams in old tiger stadium - were built on the foundations of great hitters. cobb/heilman/crawford gehringer/cochrane/greenberg kaline/cash/horton/northrup whitaker/trammell/gibson/parrish/evans/lemon the tigers' problem has ALWAYS been pitching.

  3. i dont get why the lions would be ranked that low. i know power rankings are stupid, but i just dont see the lions as in the bottom 5 in the league any more.

    or trade/sign pitching that isnt injury prone and is a proven commodity.

    the 84 team was NOT pitching centric. neither was the 68 team. those teams were built around hitting. in fact, the tigers' history is one of great hitters and above average but not great pitching (probably due a lot to their stadium). its when they can pair their hitting with great seasons from their above average pitching that they won.

    arent they just as likely to blow out their arms in the minors? how long do you keep them out of the big leagues because they might get hurt? that's the risk for all pitchers. (which is why you should build around hitters)
  11. oooh! ohhh! now do the offense! does that make avila a genius?
  12. 16 year old kid shot dead in downtown chicago tonight. 100s of kids out wilding and looting downtown. total shitshow as soon as the weather gets warm. if they get arrested - which is a big if - the focus will be on whether the coos were mean to them.
  13. but they failed, cause theyre the leafs. i thought the lightning were done. and then they lose palat. and they STILL BEAT THE LEAFS. will the leafs clean house?
  14. i bet the eagles do better than the leafs...

  17. but that's the point. there is no one comparable to yzerman. bottom line: he gets no credit for getting yzerman cause that was a no brainer. heck, even al avila couldnt fuck that up.
  18. well if alan trammell goes on to be an amazingly successful gm and puts in place a team that wins back to back world series titles, maybe we'll have a good analogy to the current situation? instead, we have a guy chris knew who was promoted who has never had any success at his job who has been there forever and no obvious heir apparent/friend of the family waiting in the wings.
  19. look YOURE the one who wants to give chris credit for bringing back yzerman, not me! that fell into his lap. youre not doing anything to support your argument that chris somehow knows what he's doing.
