gehringer_2 Posted February 8 Posted February 8 (edited) The other funny thing is that the Yankees didn't even want Gleyber to go to 1st, they asked him to try 3rd, but now he's out to prove to the world (read "NYC") he's a better 2B than Chisholm. That could work to the Tigers advantage if he can actually raise his game. Hopefully Chilsholm plays well. Edited February 8 by gehringer_2 Quote
IdahoBert Posted February 8 Posted February 8 I almost hope Bregman signs with whomever tomorrow during the Super Bowl and the story is snowed under by its relative insignificance compared to the game. I’m tired of thinking about this guy. 2 Quote

The best part of the Super Bowl is that it signals the end of football and the begining of baseball. 6 Quote

IdahoBert Posted February 9 Posted February 9 But of course we have the NHL and NBA going almost into July. So people who think baseball is too boring or complicated will have something else to do. Quote
Arlington Posted February 9 Posted February 9 If the Tigers go further into the playoffs if could be possible to catch a baseball, hockey, football and basketball game in Detroit in a weekend. I have a friend who caught a hockey, football and basketball game on a Saturday and Sunday 1 Quote
oblong Posted February 9 Posted February 9 One of the home playoff games last year was the same night as red wings opening nignt. I think it was game 4. Quote

IdahoBert Posted February 9 Posted February 9 I am stuck watching the Super Bowl today. If I stayed at home by myself I wouldn’t watch it, but my best friend invited me over and he does make good food so I’m going. Second year in a row. I’m not against football per se. It just doesn’t move me. There’s not enough meat on the bones for me. We’re just another a society of group-bonding spectacles anyway, and I’m just doing my part to act normal even though my heart isn’t in it. If it were the Lions, I could piggyback off my affection for the Tigers and my concern for people I like whose happiness in this regard is important to me. But that’s not the case. Quote
papalawrence Posted February 9 Posted February 9 I'm going to meditate my consciousness into an alternate universe today where both the Eagles and Chiefs will lose. And there is always all-you-can-eat pad thai within arm's reach Quote

CaliforniaDreaming Posted February 9 Posted February 9 I live in Madrid, Spain and no one here cares about the Super Bowl. It is kind of refreshing not to have to pretend to care about the game. Now, yesterday's Real Madrid versus Athletico Madrid futbol match...that was something to care about here. Quote
Tiger337 Posted February 9 Posted February 9 (edited) I hate the SuperBowl. It's all commercials and singing and dancing. Now, that nobody invites me to Patriots Super Bowl parties anymore, there is no reason to watch. Getting millions of people to tune in specifically to watch commercials is one of the biggest scams in US history. Edited February 9 by Tiger337 3 Quote

CaliforniaDreaming Posted February 9 Posted February 9 I agree on Bregman. I'm tired of him. I know it is a whole different world for them, but I don't understand holding out for the biggest contract possible when you are talking millions and millions of dollars. Just pick the team/city that would bring you the most joy and take however many millions they will give you. But that's just me... 2 Quote
romad1 Posted February 9 Posted February 9 I think the Bregman thing is a Willie Wonka-like test of the Detroit fan base by Scott Boras. "Snozzberries, who ever heard of a Snozzberry?" Some of you punks are going to have to go through some things before he signs. Quote

What can a person do with 180 million that he couldn't do with 160 million? It's just part greed, part ego and part bragging rights. But it also makes him look like an as*hol*. Quote
