I had one of those 'laughed so hard that milk came out of my nose' incidents (and I wasn't even drinking milk) when I read Avila's comment that his plan to make the Tiger's younger and cheaper might take three years or more. Talk about trying to manufacture job security. LOL.

Follow me on this....

Western Michigan beat Northwestern. Northwestern beat Iowa. Iowa beat Michigan. Thus WMU is ranked #21. ?Travesty!

Throw in WMU's victory over football powerhouse EMU.....???? What? Do the Bronco need to beat Rutgers 97-0 (like everyone else) to prove their worth?

Justin Verlander just finished a press conference where he blamed the support of dougplayer for costing him his second Cy Young Award. He was pissed and demanded a trade by the Tigers to a team as far away from dougplayer as possible. As they dragged his away from the microphone he was mumbling something about signing somewhere in Korea.

JV dominated the 1st place votes. Just wasn't enough in the Electoral College.

Kluber, a distant, far distant third.

W voters left Verlander off the ballot completely. That was the difference. One from mlb.com. and one writer from Tampa bay. That's garbage

You know all your doing is geeking stalker boy riled up. It's funny, but too predictable to be too funny.

Not that much better. Verlander was a much better strikeout pitcher, but Porcello also walked far fewer batters, did a better job keeping the ball inside the park, and they had identical WHIPs. Porcello had a much better ERA+ (Verlander had a slightly better raw ERA, but he pitched in a much more favorable ballpark than Porcello) and they were tied in WAR per Fangraphs. Verlander had a slightly better xFIP, but Porcello had a slightly better FIP.

C'mon...let's face the plain hard truth. Verlander would have won the AL CYA if dougplayer hadn't picked him to win! We have all seen the results when doug picks a team, player, politician, or whatever to prevail....DEFEAT. The very second doug said Verlander was his choice for the AL Cy Young Award...Verlander was eliminated. In fact, he was damn lucky he took second. My heart still goes out to the baseball fans along the Cuyahoga River whose dreams of a World Series trophy were dashed as soon as dougplayer switched over and picked the Indians to win the WS. A crying shame.

Hey doug....can you clean up that urine smell left behind by your boyfriend? Baking soda works well. I understand your ''friend'' Voltaire is a religious fellow, so perhaps this "wafting of the pee smell" is part of his religious beliefs. If so, could you tell him to take it elsewhere? Thanks in advanced Brother Doug

Brother Doug (of the Church of the Holy Urine).....should be interesting to see if Booger's #2 QB can produce some offense against Indiana. The defense should be solid - this Saturday. On the 26th...????
