I recently went to Detroit on my vacation, and was able to spend a little time in the ballpark. Went to the game on Sunday, August 30 - when Polanco hit a homer in the 8th to put the Tigers up and give Verlander his 15th win. Some pics (I'll hide them behind a spoiler tag, so you only have...

The most important thing to remember right now is, of course, that I'm on vacation -- and will be in Detroit Sunday to see Verlander and the Tigers thump the Rays!!! Whooooo! (What? Doesn't everybody vacation in Detroit? ;) ) Also, too, part of my vacation is being a groomsman in my...

Guillen sure looks like the answer so far. I get the feeling that in a month or so we'll look up and everyone will be talking about how the Tigers are something like 19-6 since Guillen's return and how his return was a turning point. I expect him to hit. And I expect it to be contagious. I'm...

All of us? Pffft. I think not. I don't bicker. It's beneath me. *walks away from thread with nose in the air" :p

Anybody think we're about to see a Tigers offensive explosion this weekend against Chicago? Me neither. :( I'm half-expecting four straight 2-1 losses.

First, Barry Sanders. Then, everyone else, including: Michael Jordan Mike Tyson Michael Vick Deion Sanders Rickey Henderson Mark McGwire Magic Johnson

I like the DH exactly how it is. One league with it and one league without it. People who like it can watch the league with it, people who hate it can watch the league without it. Works for me.

Disappointing loss today. I was really hoping to the Tigers take the series from the Twins. :( But I like their chances over the next week. The Tigers have Kansas City coming up, while the Twins are playing the Yankees. Nothing's guaranteed, but I know who I'd rather be playing. But...

Twins will be in first soon? Yeah, sure, if by "soon" you mean at least five games from now, seeing how they're four games back. And in third place. I mean, yeah, they're a good team and it could happen, but they're not exactly knocking on first place's door.

Huh. This Slowey guy has ten wins? Wouldn't know it from watching this game. Tigers up 6-0 in the third! Oh, and the red Tigers caps? EW. Do not want.

Maybe Galarraga's starting to come around? We can hope!

...aaand now we know why I'm not the manager of the Tigers. (I'd still like to see him as a starter though.) I'm not sure I'd recognize Magglio without all his hair.

Yeah, I don't see how they can keep running Galarraga out there. Time for him to spend a little time in Toledo. I'm no great Miner fan, but I think he'll give us a better chance to win each time out. What's Ryan Perry's background? Ever done any starting? I'd like to see what he could do...

So did everybody else get all the Final Four teams right in their brackets? Or just me? :D

Whew! Georgetown just gave me a scare! And I'm guessin' they also scared a few other of you guys in the pool. :p (In a side note, I somehow managed to overlook this thread. I thought it was odd that there was so little discussion in the bracket thread. Now I see why. Duh.)

Ooh, good idea! I'm in. Don't have to time to study the brackets now but I'll go back. Did we do this last year? Who won?

:up Okay, I'm in. :eureka I say we lobby to have the Veterans Committee replaced by an Evictions Committee.

:p I have no idea -- I never got to see a whole lot of Bobby Wallace! My point was that they do induct more than one guy from an era at a certain position. I meant they just might not think he's as good as Ripken or Ozzie or even Yount. Pesonally, I have simple criteria for whether I...

Ripken('81-'01)and Ozzie('78-'96) are pretty much from the same era. And hell, Yount('74-'93) was at short for the first ten or eleven years of his career, and he's in there too. Honus Wagner (although he played a lot of other positions apparently) and Bobby Wallace are from the same era...

^ ...so.....guilty until proven innocent?..... and then still guilty? :rolleyes:

Okay, that's exactly what I don't understand. Why do you feel so strongly that Trammell deserves it, but not so much with Whitaker? This is definitely the popular opinion, but frankly I just don't get it. Seasons played -- Trammell played 20, Whitaker 19 Games played ----- Trammell...

They've updated the results now. Aww... Goose was only 21 votes short. :(

Ripken in with a near-record 98.5% Gwynn in with 97.6% McGwire just misses with um, 23.5% http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-halloffame&prov=ap&type=lgns They didn't have the full results here, but I'd love to know how close Gossage came. And I'm finding it interesting to...

Meh. Seems like a story they could do in any state. Really a non-issue for me. The money he's getting is generated by the sports, right? So go ahead. Spend all the football profits on education. Then watch your team suck and the money disappear. How's that help? Simple solution: use...

Hmmm. Are you on ESPN's payroll? That sounded like a commercial. :p I feel for poor ol' Iverson though -- if this is true, now he'll have to go back to actually playing for his money. Personally, if I were a GM I wouldn't want him on my team. This may be one of many reasons I'm not a...
