Cossa stops 22 of 24 in Canada's 5-2 win over Latvia

Andrew Miller was a unicorn...a middle reliever who could completely shut a team down for multiple innings and close it out if need be. Had we signed him as a FA in 2010 or 2014 when he was available, we might have one a World Series or two. Hire Epstein or that Houston fella..Lubnow? Let them sort out who stays and who goes

Pacheco is Howard Johnson?

Went 1-3 with a BB in the ft end of the DH...maybe he's coming around

With Perez...the goal has to be to get him through the season healthy while showing some improvement as the season progresses. So far...so good

Given his earlier pitching lines...that's a HUGE step forward for Perez

Saw some Jobe footage on twitter last week...frustrated and beset by fielding issues (familiar theme organizationally) he hulked up and blew a couple of fastballs by hitters...he also threw a coupe of sliders that looked ignorant of the laws of physics. The team has a recent history of drafting pitchers who get hurt...dating back into the 90's at least...before or shortly after they make the squad Could Jobe join Verlander and Porcello as injury free pitching prospects?

Konerko never dealt with tacky spiders or any of the other crapola associated with spin rates and such

His BA last year at Toledo and Erie wasn't tht great..He did a lot of damage when he made contact though and he walked a lot. Maybe they should have started him in Toledo to get things going and take the pressure off of him but hindsight is 20/20

Al Al is every bit the guy at the Politburo who rises in the party because he toiled loyally at the tractor factory for decades and rose within the party because he outlasted everyone else

Adinso Reyes is making a mockery of the FCL.... https://www.milb.com/player/adinso-reyes-682632

Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole... Re the trade...maybe Husker Du and Weezer will see enough of a drop off moving to Calgary that we can sign one or both of them cheap when they hit FA

He's trying to earn the nickname "Edwierdo"

Depends on what I gotta spend to keep Larkin...but I'm inclined to say yes. If it comes down to keeping him over Bert...dump Bert. It if comes down to keeping him over Larkin...that's a tough one

Vrana, Zadina, Wallinder, 2023 1st... 2024 2nd. if they balk at Zadina and ask for Rasmussen...as much as I'd hate to because he turned a corner late last year, I would agree

Tork needs to whomp a few dingers...you don't need no thinking to whomp dingers

I imagine teams are hesitant to spend that #1 pick Yzerman likely wants to offload a deal. IIRC...there were rumors that he wanted Philliy's 1st next year to take on Van Riemsdyk

24 years old? Hope Grandpa doesn't need a lot of naps...

Point...or should I say "points" well taken

To wit...no woman has ever been as hot as Farrah Fawcett Majors in that swimsuit poster.

Today we can discuss the actual cost of the Meadows/Rodriguez deals. Combined they have contributes to the 2022 Tigers only slightly more than 1970's Tigers SP Les Cain and IF OF Marv Lane...which is to say...slightly more than zero

Are the Knicks secretly run by the dumbest callers to their sports talk stations?

I think Larkin is a 1C if he stays healthy...this is the first year we saw him play more or less a full year between two capable wings and he did well. If they lift the Covid restrictions and he gets a full year with Larkin and Raymond...Bert could push 40 goals...he had 30 in 68 this year. Raymond looks like a 30 goal guy...Vrana has been on pace to get 40 from day one here, but he's been hurt so much. We'll see how Copp and Perron fit in. We have the pieces to score enough. We need the defense and goaltending to come around. Edvinsson could be another pillar...but guys like Johansson, Wallinder, Buiumen and Sebrango give you a shot at having six great to good to at least decent NHL defenseman for the next decade.

If he falls to us...Neto would be...neato

The Chiarot deal looks a little less awful when one looks at the Gudbranson signing. They definitely seem to be trending towards guys who are "hard to play against". Guys like Suter and Lindstrom who looked pretty easy to muscle off the puck should be concerned. If I'm Joe Veleno I come to camp looking focusing on checking and killing penalties because the top three C's are likely going to be Larkin, Copp and Rasmussen. Although I prefer Ras on the wing...they've spent a lot of time talking about his ablity to become a big, physical shutdown C
