AL Central 2010

That was a tough loss to take..They waste yet another great outing for SCherzer..I just dont understand the moves this guy makes..I dont care if you dont have you closer, although you might have if you had not let him throw 60 pitches last ...night, but you bring in whoever you need to..you dont put the winning run on and pitch to Ortiz..So sick of hearing how Leyland thinks outside the box, no he doesn't he is just a stubborn old man, who's time has long past him by. As it has for this fake ass GM we have. Then he tells us he had a big deal working, YEA RIGHT!!!!! for who? Manny, hahahaha.

I hear you, I hear you man...ok so who do they bring in then? Who's the coach,and who's the GM? What are the moves?

Or were you just venting the frustration?
 
They had Bonine Warm, the little fellow Wienhardt, I bringi n one of those guys to face Youk, I would never load the bases with a walk first of all, and never to Ortiz..He always comes through in those situations..Yes I am venting, I am a fan and although I think this team is what it is, I am still watching them and sitting through the last 2 innings after Max pitched so great AGAIN was painful...Not sure about the manager, I actually like brookens, GM, I love John Hart, I really do. Not sure he'd be interested, but I would sure ask..Dombrowski is nothing but a guy who likes to draft power arms. Who is a bat he drafted that was a sure fire Major league? Granderson, and I think he just got lucky. Maybe because he certainly could not hit lefties..someone had to know that. Boesch? He was rated the 28th rated prospect in our system, so he certainly had no idea, and im still not sold on him anyway..Strikes out too much, and does not take enough balls. he is a rookie though..Other than that who else? Maybin? Sucks..Wilken Ramierez (sp?), he sucks and was traded today. I mean your seeing what kind of offense we have in the minors.. Have you seen the Red Sox minor league system? Now thats a GM. Not the Tigers, we have a 100 million dollar payroll, and a good chunk of that is in bad contracts that are not even playing for us..Next year we have some wiggle room, I hope we have a better Gm handling that money.
 
Good post DetFan. I agree with you in most everything you've said.


Boesch is a conundrum. This guy can't hit a down and away fastball, and he's so wrapped up with those and first pitchs, that it's taking away from everything he's good at.

I saw him tonight, among other nights, get a fastball right in his power zone and swing right through it.
I'm no batting coach, but something is just not there, that was in the beginning.

Really at this point, I think it's just about what's between the ears. Too much second guessing going on.

Once again you have NO IDEA what your talking about:


Neither team is very good in AAA this year.

Toledo has a much better batting avg. and scored more runs than the Red Sox counterpart.
I tried to post it, but the format would not work.

Like I said NEITHER team is doing any good this year ....

Pawtucket is 16 GB and the Hens are 12 GB

If they were in the same division, the Hens would be 6 games up .

Hey, you know what? F&$^ YOU, I am so sick of everytime i say something you tell me I dont know what im talking about. I do trust me..You on the other hand are very narrow minded..DID I SAY ONLY AAA? My statement was about drafting..COMPARE DRAFTS WHEN IT COMES TO BATTERS, not Silly power arms!! THe Rays, the Red Sox, those farm systems are far superior..IF I dont what Im talking about then please tell me who he has drafted that can actually hit at the major league level??? YOU CANT!!! THERE ARE NONE@!@@

FIND ME ONE, PLEASE, and dont say Big bad Boesch..and I already gave you Granderson..SO PLEASE give me some names, because you can look at the Red Sox system and see them all over the place. Why dont you just commenting on my posts?? Better yet ignore me so you don't have to keep trying to show me how smart you are dippy!!!

Did I mention anything about Pitchers ?

You can give it out, but you can't handle it when someone else has facts to show that your statement was WRONG, Oh what a shame !

Seems to me that you must be the one with the PROBLEM as I'm not getting these responses from others, just YOU.

Most people are thanking me for the help I've given them. :D
 
Dave asked you, WHO you gonna bring in, in the spur of the moment when everyone you've mentioned is already working, but GUESS WHAT, you had no legit answer, once again ....


If I were a betting man I would guess that you MIGHT be 16
 
You tried to run me off a while back and I almost did, then decided, hell with it, I enjoy these forums and have a lot of friends here, why should I leave .....
I've taken more that you have .... it's a shame you don't have facts to back up anything you say though.

Fwiw, you were right about parts of your Tiger assessment and I knew it for quite awhile , but didn't want to give you the satisfaction because your such a "My way or else" type of guy.
 
lets quit with the flaming........

seems like lately the flames have been getting higher. Lets calm them down. I dont like to dish out warnings and I really hate putting the mod hat on but if I have to I will;)
 
Hey White Sox

Somebody's knocking
Should you let them in
Lord its the Twins
1/2 game back..but not for long :)

Twins riding a 7 game win streak
 
Seattle's due for a win Sunday. Keep on knocking, but you can stay out on the porch. Danks had his 1st bad game in a long time last night and Braden threw like he did in his perfect game. Floyd's hot, he'll get them back on the winning ways.

NO problem, I appologize for losing my cool. He won't be pissing in my wheaties anymore. Carry on.
 
Thank goodness I have been traveling lately and haven't had much time to keep up with the Tigers nor participate in forum discussions. The Tigers seem to have imploded since the All-Star break. Additionally, their biggest flaw (mental weakness) has been made glaringly obvious given their continued woeful road record. Let's face it...this Tigers team is talented enough to be 15-games above .500 - no question about it! Yet, they compare to the likes of celar-dwellars Baltimore, Seattle, Washington, Pittsburgh and Arizona when it comes to playing on the road. While I certainly believe they have the talent to come-from-behind and win the AL Central...well, they haven't given me any indication they have the heart (and leadership) to do so. Wasn't Damon supposed to provide the leaderhip needed to help the team win the tough ones?

Perfect summary of this team, but really since Leyland has been at the helm. They need attitude. Heart has certainly been an issue with this team for some time now. Watch when they play the White sox next week..They just seem to cowar against them. No way this team is the Central champs though..

BTW we are blessed to have Avila and Raburn back in the line up today. thats at least 5 k's :):)
 

WEEI's Dennis and Callahan to be simulcast live on NESN

Don't look now, but Steve Lavin is making St. John's relevant again
