Bonds is still available.![]()
Tom, I would think that Pittsburgh would be waiting with open arms (and checkbook) to welcome home the prodigal son!

It's only April 7th. 156 games to go. Disappointing start to say the least, but really guys, 156 games to go. If you want to write Detroit off, be my guest. As for me, well it ain't over till the fat lady sings. This team will turn it on soon, and when they do, I'll be back to see what you fans from that "evil city to the South" have to say then.
What evil city to the south are you talking about ?
Toledo, Columbus , Cleveland, Cincy ???
Every city is south from you ....

THAT was just not right!!!
ROFLMAO!!!:haha:river:haha:river:haha:river:haha
0-7 Detroit!? When will the bleeding stop? Clearly this is a flashback to '03! :haha
Man the Tigers couldn't hit water from a boat right now!
To keep things in perspective - IF the Tigers start off 0 - 10, that would be the equivalent of your favorite football team losing their first game of the season. They're both 1/16 of the season. You wouldn't write off your football team for one loss would you?
Mathematically yes, but psychologically, those boys will be in a world of hurt if they go 0-10 to start the season.![]()
No big deal, it's early in the season....BBUUTTTT.....Detroit is 0-7 and the Florida Marlins are in 1st place....
..."we have dogs and cats living together.....it's mass hysteria...!!!"
ALSO....if the 1st place team start off 10-0 MLB...that is almost a 20 game difference....

The Bleeding stops TONIGHT.
Tigers win in Boston 7-2.
Cleveland lost and is 2 GB and Tigers are only 5 back.
Now lets see if the Tigers can continue and put a few wins together get back into the swing of things.
Roller Coaster Jones makes it interesting again.

From ESPN report......
The Indians have signed right-hander Fausto Carmona to a multiyear contract extension, ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney is reporting.
Carmona's contract is potentially worth $43 million over seven years, with the first four years guaranteed for $15 million total. With escalators, the contract could exceed $43 million.
The 24-year-old Carmona had a breakout year in 2007, winning 19 games for the AL Central champion Indians.
This season, the hard-throwing right-hander is 1-0 with a 0.69 ERA in two starts.
Carmona is the No. 2 starter in the Indians' rotation behind left-handed ace C.C. Sabathia. Sabathia, however, is a free agent after the season.
Carmona joins a core group of young players -- along with Grady Sizemore, Travis Hafner and Victor Martinez -- who have signed long-term deals with the Indians.
The Dominican Republic native made a memorable debut in the postseason. Matched up with Andy Pettitte, he allowed the New York Yankees just three hits and no earned runs in nine innings, pitching the final two as tiny insects swarmed the infield at then-Jacobs Field.

SSHHHH. I'm was trying to soothe the masses... You got to admit, it looked good for about a minute. It's only 10 games behind if the first place team went 10 - 0, by the way. At any rate, the birds are singing, my coffee tastes better, and my wife was feeling a little frisky, all because the Tigers finally won. So don't rain on my parade.
By the way, we are only 5 games behind the ROYALS (of all teams), if this was August, I would think that to be catchable. It's still April, so I'm not worried.
