Don't have a passport

cool... didn't think you actually would come... you are all mouth. I would have gotten you tickets to a marlins game.

I like them.

This is 90% of my internet.

Sounds like u have a life unlike others....

Whats the matter iffy? You all talk? You said you were going to come down here.. all you do is talk about me.... i am more than happy to entertain you for a day if you come down... I guess you would rather post bs troll material than actual see reality. To bad... I would have gotten you some good seats with me... especially for opening day in Miami... I am taking all the employees that work in my office.

Tony Phillips died of a heart attack. RIP.. I didn't get to see him play to much. He was a Tiger from 1990-94

I see the Dodgers signed another Cuban ballplayer, Yaisel Sierra, a pitcher. I really think Detroit needs to look into signing more international players. I know that isn't Illitch's modus operandi.....but if the minor league system is going to be pushed aside to sign free agents for the next couple of years....it is something they NEED to do. Maybe even bidding on a Japanese player or signing a Korean star?

Francisco Rodriguez will report late for camp...Visa issues. It is reported that "Visa issues" is a standard Rodriguez stunt that he uses most every year. Nice that he feels secure enough to use it with his new team.

Well if you don't like reading the lineups don't read them.

Keep posting ... it's better than some of the moronic dribble posted on here (and it keeps me informed)

Remember the days when baseball players actually kept there snuff in their back pocket......RIP, it's umcomfortable for me now so I put mine in the front pocket...

The Detroit Tigers own the 2nd best all-time line up ever (the Yankees are first). The methodology is WAR. Kinda interesting. Non Hall of Famers are: Bill Freehan (C), Alan Trammell (SS), Lou Whitaker (2B), Tommy Bridges (SP), Mickey Lolich (SP) and John Hiller (RP).

Evidence that the Baseball Writers Association don't know the game as well as they should.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALAN TRAMMELL. The first Detroit Tiger younger than me.

We are loaded with underrated players Alltime.

Not even sure I can say which one is most deserving of tHOF tbh.

Although Bridges gets the least credit imo.

Norm Cash off the bench ain't too shabby either.

I'm thinkin' they miss the boat on these two. Maybe the Veterans Committee can make it right and put them in together.

It'd be fitting that they go in together.

Alltime by position Lou is prolly higher than Tram.

Gonna be a shame if a guy like Utley gets in while Sweet Lou , a superior player, isn't.

I do have an issue with Verlander not showing up on the list... His career war is basically identical to Lolich's and he will clearly pass that up this year. If they are just going off WAR 100% I get it... but when its all said and done.. Lolich and Verlander are in different leagues.. and Verlander is in the better one.

You are a punk kid ....so I will excuse your ignorance.

I'd pick Lolich over Verlander based on World Series record. Crunch time.

That would carry weight if you were an actual Tigers fan.

Utley has no shot.

Your remarks no longer have any weight....after the total beat-down you took in your 13 hour marathon Saturday.
