How can anyone be disappointed with this season? They exceeded expectations, and the are pieces on the big club and the farm that bode well for long term. I think we are short a starter, and infielder, ( 1st or 3rd), and a right handed outfielder short. It will be fun to watch what Harris and Co. come up with

I don't have cable , so I don't watch ESPN anymore. Am I right to assume that non stop orgasmic delight is being seen on that network due to the fact the Yankees, Mets, and Dodgers are in the playoffs?

The biggest person it is burning up is Boras. The agent meister will put a stop to this for '25.

Whoop Whoop!!!

1 to go!

2 outs to go.

I make have to brake out the scotch. This is tense.

15 0uts to go.

Wally the Walrus makes it home. 2-0.

Things are jelling as Hurter works out of a jam.

Way to go Parker!

Toaster Torkelson strikes again.

I picked the wrong day to stop drinking!

As I read the tea leaves, I would not expect much in the way of free agent signings unless the season ticket sales are through the roof by December 31. The 50 million dollar Bally infusion looks to be gone, and it's very unclear what a replacement will provide. The attendence to the Tigers games was 750,000 below the median, which is probably equates to a minimum of 80 million dollars of gross revenue. The net starting point for revenue for the Tigers is roughly 130 million dollars below an median MLB team. With a strong post season performance, I would expect that some of the 130 million would be made up. My guess is that spending will be an RP, a low tier SP, and a reclamation project. If season ticket sales for 2025 boom between now and the end of the year, things might change.

With respect to the TP situation, if you're really hard up, rake your leaves up in your yard or city park, bag them, and use those.

I think managers, usually, are worth roughly 4 to 5 games a year maybe 3 to 4. That's the difference of being on the outside looking in with respect to the playoffs. Hinch has done a magnificent job of having his team motivated to play and prepared as well.

Isn't there still a paper plant in Munising MI in the UP that makes TP or am I having a senior moment?

This is fun!!

KC Royals have lost. Minny is on the ropes

I haven't been this excited about the end of a season since the waning days of the 1967 Tigers season. There were no playoff spots back then You either won the AL or the NL, or you went home. There were five teams in a ten team league that had a shot in the final week of the season, and the Tigers lost their final 2 games and lost out. This season has been more exciting as this season was a total surprise, while the Tigers were expected to be in contention in 1967.

I am tired of that and the endless feel good human interest stories and other sideshow events. Bally can always launch a soap oprea if they wanted. I want a baseball broadcast

Al couldn't develop film, let alone ballplayers.

He will be replaced next year.

The 2 of us must be part of the UniMind from The Buzz Lightyear cartoons.

He looks like Nuke Laloosh in Bull Durham.
