AL Central Smack Talk

This face always come to my mind when I hear or read Izzo:

He's pretty juvenile sometimes. Gets a lot of leeway for winning a title 14 years ago.

Detroit free press ran a pic this week. Izzo had a look like he didn't have a clue what was going on and 1of the sparty players yelling in his ear.it was priceless.wish I could have saved it.dam tablets are hard to operate

Radio is broadcasting tiger games.
Couldn't listen.
Pre season.....with more the 3 weeks left of spring training....
Spring training drags and drags...

Did you see the red Sox owner complaining about the marlins line up?

Even though red Sox had only 2 regular starters in there line up. To funny

Can't say I blame the Marlins for taking Spring Training seriously, seeing as they have no hopes whatsoever of contending anytime soon.

I don't see anyone complaining about the Marlins fielding a substandard lineup on a daily basis.

Can't say I blame the Marlins for taking Spring Training seriously, seeing as they have no hopes of winning in the regular season anytime soon. The funny thing is, the Marlins play minor leaguers on a daily basis.

Oh, and keep in mind those minor leaguers outhit the Marlins. It was a 0-0 tie, but the Red Sox had 7 hits. Marlins had 2.

Hey now, if they were an AAA team, they would have won 47 games last year! #TrueSABRStories

I wonder if they were complaining about running up the score then. Fuck the Marlins.

Never trust a man that looks like Snidely Whiplash.

 

[Tigertowner68]

Pavano is a China doll. Hypochondriac.

Love Snidely Whiplash!

Pavano was a tiger killer for a while there.

Dont forget the six final 4's and big 10 championships and one of the longest active tourney streaks.....look how happy scUM fans are they made it into the sweet 16 for the first time in many many years....they do it ONE year and all of a sudden they are the greatest at tourney time according to dougie....lets hope they dont draw ohio this year.....

Sparty is frustrating to watch....elite at times and horrible at times....fouls are killing them.....but these are the izzo teams that usually do good in the tourney....good teams that struggled at times during the year....they still got the talent to win it all...but they also can be head cases that could lose real early....

In 2000 the team had to deal with the injury to mateen cleaves and lost i believe 10 games that year.....then hit their stride in the tourney.



Oh and the wings do suck....injuries killing them tho....now they lose another center....anderson broken foot...datsyuk, zetterberg, helm, weiss, anderson.....any other centers im missing?

I know this is going to sound crazy, but MSU has tried to turn into UM firing up 3's at a record pace for them. I think that is their biggest problem right now.

It seems they forgot what got them to where they are. They need to pound the ball inside and open up the outside for the 3's. It is the other way around for them right now.

 

[Howie115]

GM Dave Dombrowski says the Tigers won't be trading any starting pitchers, including Rick Porcello, reports Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press. Earlier today, the Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo reported that the Tigers would field offers for Porcello.

I would hope not. Not after basically giving away Doug Fister for a few fringe players and a couple of rosin bags.

Brutal week for the Braves....

Brutal week for the Braves....

There is no such thing as "too much pitching."
