  1. If anything it would have maybe been a closer wild card race if the Sox won a few more games against them. Maybe Seattle gets in. But I don't think it makes that much more of a difference.
  2. But they were one of the best teams (maybe the best?) in baseball in the 2nd half. They made the playoffs because they beat up on other teams too, not just the Sox. KC had the same record against the Sox as Detroit did and they were right ahead of Detroit in the standings so it's not like it matters much.
  3. I think AJ Hinch has made a big difference on that Tigers team (ironically, he shouldve been the Sox mgr instead of TLR). Detroit has no business being 1 win away from the ALCS. He should get a lot of credit for that. The right manager can absolutely make a difference over time. And if they really want to start changing the makeup of this organization, they need to start now, and the new manager should be an indicator of what kind of team they are trying to build for the future.
  4. Does anyone know if a clear signal would reach western Michigan?
  5. Chuck: "So what is your approach going into this season as the full time DH?" Eloy: "No fucking clue Chuckeroo."
  6. Gone are the days of #35, #14, and #79. We sure were spoiled at the first base position for decades
  7. Hoping he gets better like Benetti did and also Beckham.
  8. Apologies if this has been discussed but are chuck and Ozzie moving over to chsn?
  9. For me, it's purely the memories and nostalgia with my dad and friends from childhood. And the investment I've made following the team. I've lived in Michigan for almost 10 years now surrounded by Tigers fans. I have no desire to jump on the bandwagon. But I will say, after not watching much Sox baseball over the last couple years, I have paid more attention to the league in general. It's help to broaden my understanding of the game and appreciate the sport even more.
  10. I'm glad these articles are coming out and it's getting national attention. It really is the only way the tide can change. More of this=more pressure on Jerry to sell. That said, is anyone really surprised at the result of this season? I mean, I don't think anyone was expecting worst team of all time, but after closely following this team for the last 15 years of my life, it doesn't really surprise me one bit.
  11. He probably kept asking them if he could play the outfield and they were like "send his ass down."
