AL Central Smack Talk

[Nosferatu]

I'm honing my skills right now.

As am I, i'm an expert!!!

 

[Nosferatu]

Twins with a nice win tonight... How many days until Justin Morneau is a Pirate? You'd think it would happen tomorrow...

Dale Murphy fell off the table at age 32...Miggy could just as well fall off the table also...nobody knows what the future holds. Every decade has the "best hitter" in the majors...Miggy happens to be it right now.....who knows who is next...and there will be a next...there always is.

16 - 7 the Broncs still got a shot, isn't western Michigan in Grand Rapids? I used to work down there, thought I remembered seeing the school...

We have a branch in GR. But Westerns Main campus is 45 minutes south on 131 in Kalamazoo. Grand Valley has a nice branch in GR now too. Was Grand Rapids where you were in Michigan? (Fuckin Spartys just kicked another FG 19-7 now)

Yep, lived there for a while, worked alot downtown...

Just google......miguel cabrera best right handed hitter ever.....

His stats match aaron, dimaggio and the other greats.....im not the only one saying this.....just google and see all the EXPERTS that said it......

well, I did...the list that was the 1st sight...

10 - Cap Anson
9 - Albert Pujols
8 - Honus Wagner
7 - Al Simmons
6 - Joe Dimaggio
5 - Jimmy Foxx
4 - Willie Mays
3 - Hank Aaron
2 - Nap Lajoie
1 - Roger Hornby

So, I did what you asked....Googled it...and listed the 1st sight listed...bleacherreport.com.....and WOW who would have thought.....Tigers fans creating more BS....Miggy Cabrera is NOT listed in the TOP 10 right handed batters of ALL TIME....shocked...amazed...bewildered....

That was 2009...there is also a list from 2012...with Manny Ramerez on it and Alex Rodriguez....how many do you want to be listed til somebody's list....most likely a Tigers fans list that has Miggy as the best of all time...

why do you actually make it so easy?

Nice! They've put a lot of that Amway money into sprucing things up. For some reason the highway has been under construction since I got my license in '97, but other than that I like GR. it's no K-Zoo, but I may be biased.

No offense bums but using bleacherreport is like using sesame street...

Never got to spend any time in Kalamazoo but lucky me got to spend some time in Flint, my girlfriends parents lived there.

I didn't select it....I googled what was asked and just took the very 1st one that came up...

I could have searched through them all but why? the 2nd one didn't have Miggy listed either...so after the 1st 2 sites listed...there was no reason to go further.

 

[broncosmitty]

Ohhhh Flint..... Well, I hear at one time it was nice. People like to say things about Detroit, but Benton Harbor and Flint-town that are worst in the state. My got stuck doing his residency in the ER there this summer. He's got some crazyass stories.

 

[da55bums]

lol

I remember that stretch of road from GR to Muskegun always under construction... At least MI has a reason to repair roads all the time... winter tears em up.... Here in Miami... the Palmetto expressway is in under construction non stop.. has been for at least a decade... its one of the busiest roads in the south part of the country... if you get on it or 95 during rush hour... you might as well put it in park and take a nap...

Flint is a magical place... where dreams come true, homes are made of gold... and the roads are made of candy...

Sarcasm

Flint's airport isn't bad though.. I flew in there a few times from Miami.

tigers win. Ricky P does the job again. best 5th starter in the AL.

Indians are seeing all slip away...end of the line for the tribe

LOL... Detroit has its decent parts... and the suburbs are nice.. Flint is fecal... I can only imagine what the ER looks like there.

 

[dougplayer]

rut ro.

Miggy is hurt and its getting worse.

when are the Tigers going to let him heal up?

we can mop up the central and let Miggy go on the DL. let him have 15 off

Ricky is showing flashes of really putting it together... I don't think he is that far off from having a real decent season... I still see an all star season in him... I am glad he was not traded.. as I see a ton of value in him moving forward.

Pujols 492 hr, 1498 rbi, 1425 r, .321 ave, 2347 h, 93 sb, .510 obp, .599 slg, 1.008 ops
Cabera 364 hr, 1253 rbi, 1056 r, .321 ave, 1975 h, 38 sb, .399 obp, .571 slg, .970 ops


so until Miggy can even be better than Pujols...there is no sense even comparing Miggy to Aaron, Hornsby, Mays, heck anyone in the top 10...at least let the guy get over 2000 hits...lol...maybe even 2500 or 3000 hits...like most hitters get to.

Miggy is having an incredible few years...again congrats to him....Jim Rice, Dale Murphy, Carl Yaz...have been great for few years also..he will be one of the best RH hitters when his actual numbers justify it.
