2017 AL CENTRAL DISCUSSION

[SlinkyRedfoot]

We shall see with Cabrera. On September 24, he was diagnosed with two herniated discs in his back, which he likely played through all year. I'm not sure that's a condition you just "get over". They are saying the likely recommendation is rest, anti-inflammatory drugs and "treatment", but not surgery.

Probably doesn't help that he's actually five years older than he says and a decade or more of PED usage is destroying his body.

@SlinkyRedfoot...

Who do you want the Tribe to play in the ALDS the Twins or the Bronx Bozos?

If I got to pick, Indians would face the Yankees, then the Red Sox, then the Cubs, and lay them all to waste.

I think doug said the Astros have already won it all this year.

I've heard that Verlander will be starting all of the Astro's games.

He's also gonna be the starting shooting guard for the Rockets.

Actually, he (Miguel Cabrera) is 775 (Earth Years) older, than his reported age. He is getting supplements flown in on the Millennium Falcon from the Dagobah System. It appears that his midi-chlorian levels were a little low. He should be fine for next year ... thanks for your concern ... have a good playoffs.

Verlander is NOT playing for the Rockets and will be working his regular. He was traded to Houston (at Trump's insistence) to assist NASA to understand where singularity and black holes interact at a quantum level. Verlander should have his finding published before the World Series.

The usual explanation for what's going on inside a black hole goes something like "General Relativity predicts a singularity with infinite curvature, but when matters gets so tightly compressed we should expect quantum effects to become important, so the singularity will probably be blurred". Authors then proceed to say that we need a quantum theory of gravity to answer such things, and quickly abandon the subject.

Well, while we don't have an experimentally confirmed quantum theory of gravity, we do have a speculative one, string theory. What does it say about singularities? Are they smeared out like the books say? Do they remain points (or rings for a rotating black hole) with infinite curvature and density?

Nope. No PEDs.for miggy.
Clean. Class. Some thing a Indian wouldn't knowcabout

 

[dougplayer]

astros vs red sox. The glamor match up. Not many want to see ragged ass Indians.
Sale going for red sox. Astros undecided as of yet. Write in VERLANDER ..in PEN.
verlander will be on the zone. Take sale to school.if kluber ever faces him this post season. He will show kluber what a ACE looks like

Is this what is referred to as "functionally illiterate"?

Legible...concise...realistic...things you know nothing about

So when do the Tigers play their first postseason game. @dougplayer said it was in the bag that they make it this year.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Indians set ALDS starting rotation, and it's fucking interesting:

Bauer
Kluber
Carrasco
Tomlin
Kluber

Roll Tribe.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

I assume Bauer goes into the bullpen after his start in Game 1, if needed.

Holy shit, their pitching is so stacked. I'm think Salazar won't be on the ALDS roster.

Also, what about Brantley? Will Kipnis be playing CF? Fuckin' intriguing.

Las Vegas odds on AL Champion:

Cleveland: 9-4
Boston: 9-1
NY: 14-1
Minn: 50-1
Houston: ''dougplayer pick'' rule in effect. No bets allowed on Astros

Ask doug exactly what day next year will the Tigers win the ALc. I'm sure he has it all figured out.

The numbers are definitely in the Tigers favor for '18!
