Shut down the entire government, bring this entire corrupt administration to it's knees. I'm starting to see why The Donald needs bunker upgrades. He may need to live out his days down there...Just like his hero did.

But it took murders in the streets to get relief from Trump's SS. They don't like being called Nazis but when they act like Nazis, the description fits. They really need to remember the Nazis tried using the "Just following orders" defense. And then they were hanged. We're more civilized than that, theyll just get life in prison here. And I'm really sure they'll be popular with all the gangs in prison. 🤨🤨

Yeah, players are lining up to live on the south side of Chicago....OK.

Wait until the democrats impeach the entire Trump administration and put several of them into prison. MAGA supporters are already crying about that possibility. Trying to suppress votes to hang onto power? How un-American.

Hopefully, it's the beginning of the end of this MAGA cult running our country into the ground; https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-house-backs-bid-end-canada-tariffs-rare-rebuke-trump-2026-02-11/

Unidentified, masked and illegal thugs going around demanding "papers" from any brown person they come across is Un-American. I just wonder what happened to you in your life that fills you with such hate of minorities? People supporting thus type of behavior just doesn't make sense. Maybe in Russia or Nazi Germany it was the norm, but in America?

Well, many players, when given a choice, would much rather play for teams that can compete for a playoff berth. I've read many players say going to the ballpark in mid-August when the team is 20 games out of 1st place is a horrible feeling. Next is the media spotlighting of the worst areas of Detroit. They call ir ruin porn. And Detroit is just like many major cities with their urban decay. Many of the worst areas are being built back up into a livable areas but these ballplayers who make mega-bucks? They would never live there, most of them. Birmingham and other beautiful areas are more their style but those areas don't get the media scrutiny (clicks).

The current Tiger pitching aces of Skubal and Valdez is our best since JV and Max. Better? Not yet, not until they do it. But better now, since it's current. But those Tiger teams for the 2010's were really, really good. How they never won a championship is a mystery.

In all the presidential debates I've even watched, Perot probably had the funniest line when he said "I'm all ears" in response to a policy possibility. The next funniest was Trump when he blurted out "They're EATING the pets."

She originally said "The DOW is up 50,000 dollars." Lol

You have scientific evidence on one hand and in the other? Oil executives in it for the money. The entire world listens to the scientific evidence except for the Republican party in the United States. And it's because of the total corruption that has taken over that party. If the masses can't breath, drink the water or eat the food, all because of pollution? As long as the corrupt politicians make lots and lots of money, they don't care. Its ALL a hoax to them. And keeping their uneducated and foolish followers in line is their only goal. They all need to be swept out of office.

I remember that comment, about the Tigers not having recent success. And I didn't agree with it at all. The Tigers are one of a handful of teams who has won a playoff series two years in a row. Sometimes winning is a process where there are steps that gets a team deeper and deeper into the playoffs. Paying your dues, so to speak. And I really do see this Tiger team of being on the cusp of not just contending this season, but Scott Harris may be building something special, a team that's consistently going to be near the top of the league for srveral years.

Javy or Vierling. If Meadows tanks, they would be the placeholders until Max Clark is ready. Prolly in 2027, if there's ever baseball and no lockout.

Many of us said they wouldn't sign with Detroit because we were too cheap. We were wrong.

Riley had injuries his first few years but has seemed to overcome them. And I remember, years ago, the Tigers giving up on a young Carlos Pena. And he went on to hit a massive amount of home runs....for other teams. Parker is going into his age 26 season. Giving up on his defense and speed right now may be a huge mistake. Give him every opportunity to succeed. If not, we have other options.

Correct. Its human nature...with higher expectations comes greater disappointment. But this pitching staff, if it remains somewhat healthy, may take us on a deep and fun playoff run. And we also seem to have some depth, Harris has done a really good job of building a very good starting pitching staff as well as, what could be, a shutdown bullpen. With 3 relief pitchers, who all had 20+ saves last season, we may be able to shorten games up. Get a lead after 6 innings and a high % of the games will end up in the win column. Let's go!!

I have to admit I was wrong about Chris Ilitch being cheap. Harris said when he approached Chris about the prospect of possibly signing Valdez, Chris was really excited, fired up and "as passionate as it gets." If true, I couldn't have been more wrong. And glad I was 100%wrong.

Because Meadows is still a really young player? And his defense is outstanding. As well as his speed, the guy is a racehorse. Sometimes it takes a few years for young players to "figure it out." Giving up on him too soon could be a mistake. But I agree, if he doesn't hit, at least a little, he may not stick around too long. We'll see, there are other CF options, if need be.

OMG....LOL funny. The Trump administration is rolling back pollution regulations...including car tailpipe emissions. The article I'm reading said multiple agencies are taking the case to court, including EarthJustice, an environmental group and The American Lung Association. Trump's reply? "Don't worry about it." Seriously, what an uneducated idiot. No sugar coating it, the man is a complete fool and he's putting millions of lives in serious danger. From not just the air we breathe but also serious climate disasters. We need to elect democrats at the midterms to impeach this idiot and his entire corrupt administration.

I don't have any stat to back this up, just a (failing) memory but it seems like Jack had many starts where he would give up multiple runs in an inning after throwing several innings and not giving up any runs. I never thought it was mental or lack of concentration but yeah, you make a good point.

Maybe there wasn't people on this message board saying we'll get the same JV as the 2011 JV but I've been hearing some casual fans (and un-informed media) talking with unrealistic expectations. Verlander is 43 years old for goodness sake. He's not a crafty leftie like Professor Rogers was. He'll have flashes of his old self, hopefully. But people who really know the game know not to expect 200 innings with 200 strikeouts.

Maybe he'll let Skubal know how much happier he was playing for the Tigers and how he wished he never would have left? And Skubal will SEE the love a returning hero gets coming back to Detroit? And Skubal will tell Scott Boras to take a hike? 😆

How many starting pitchers do you want? We already have about 8 or so. 😅😅

They gotta sell more merchandise. Different City Connect uniforms every season from now on?
