Davis did that last year too. It's a definite shout out to Ernie.

I've been getting it off and on, but haven't today. Will let you know if that changes, will try this, and will give you any information I've got on my end.

Johnson was a second term nothing Congressman when Epstein was brought down. I doubt he was somebody who had anything close to the power to wield to get into Epstein's circle.

A lot of those Top 100 rankings were before he struck out half the time to a sub .600 ops down the stretch and wasn't viable behind the plate. To Lee's point, I think the team trading a prospect almost always knows something.

Grocery delivery sucks, and I have only ever used it when I had COVID. It is marked up, and they routinely take liberties or struggle picking out produce. It makes me appreciate how much of a skill grocery shopping is and how much it helps me up my kitchen game.

I don't know that trading Thayron is a good idea right now after his play absolutely plummeted down the stretch. His bat fell off the map, and he became so unplayable down the stretch he was DH only. I am not even sure he is worth protecting on the 40 man.

Source? Signed somebody who may have gotten his last paycheck for a while today...

It was Game 1. October 11.

If I remember right, the Astros trade that netted Jones and Brocail was a win. I am trying to remember if that is the one that cost Lima, thought.

It was not. And Wells was a pending free agent. Edit: Wells may not have been a free agent.

The article I found yesterday implied he was moved to clear money for Bernie Williams, which then fell through.

Lol at the Tiger Territory guys listing Blade Tidwell in a Mets trade. He was traded to the Giants at the deadline.

I found a NYT article from the time. Basically, the Fryman trade was to move money around. Williams only had one year before free agency. Gonzalez was signed three weeks later.

Anybody else see the ad the Government of Ontario ran during Game 7 of the ALCS? The voiceover was a Reagan speech from 1987 lambasting tariffs.

I was 6 when he was fired, and 17 when he retired and named my dog Ernie when I was 30. No surprise that Monaghan whiffed.

Yes because it opens up options when guys need a day off or there is injury. Player X gets hurt: just call up the next position player not necessarily the one that fills that position.

There is something like 20% turnover in a given month in-season, let alone over multiple seasons. Beyond that, just rattling over a fixed lineup just ignores the trends in baseball roster management these days, let alone how Hinch has managed.

Ah, found the other. Perhaps the most underrated player on the 1984 squad...

My guess on the other Tigers is Rusty Staub and Frank Howard

Getting security errors when I visit today. I just wanted to report that here.

Yikes, two typos in the above zinger... Acquired, not signed. And Helsely, not Bednar.

Says the guy who has copied and pasted the same article from a third rate publication multiple times saying the Tigers should have signed Bednar instead of Finnegan.

Not the c word I had in mind, and I am not talking a derogatory slur towards women. Cheap is one way to describe it, but Lajoie and the Tigers were high practitioners in the art of collusion around that time.
