@KwanDislike Keep carrying Harris’ bath water. I’m sure they’ll send free tickets eventually! This lineup has largely sucked outside of a 100 game sample size between the end of 2024 & the start of 2025. Their refusal to acknowledge that is how they’ll waste Skubal’s time as a Tiger.
@Bschabath3 The problem is, the guys who made the 26 man roster to start the season weren’t any good either. Meadows, Tork, Baez, Rogers, McKinstry, Vierling & Perez are not serious bats.
We CAN judge by what he thought would be good enough, despite loads of evidence to the contrary.
@BoxscoreUC@bigku82 What else would you call justifying a blown 2-0 series lead and getting worked by 30 on your home floor in game 7? Admit it or not, you’re making excuses. The east was wide open this year and it becomes significantly less so next season. This was a major missed opportunity.
@BoxscoreUC@bigku82 The excuse of “it takes time” and using OKC as an example is nonsense considering their immeasurably better success rate over the last 18 years. Detroit fans always look for an excuse to justify their teams falling short instead of demanding better.
@BoxscoreUC@bigku82 OKC wasn’t even a franchise when the Pistons last went to the ECF. Since the Pistons last made the ECF, in 07/08, the Thunder have been to the WCF 5 times, and the finals twice, where they are 1-1 in the finals. Raise your expectations as a fan for once in your life.
@DuncanSmithNBA What a moronic mindset. No season in any professional sport is “house money.” It is even dumber that people excuse or accept that rational as a justification for not being good enough in 2026.
@Bschabath3 How prevalent is this issue that makes this precedent so vital to maintain?
Barry Sanders retired 30 years ago. Calvin 10. Both of which were directly tied to the flaws of the organization.
Maybe they need to look themselves in the mirror and recognize this model hurts them.
@Bschabath3 Just because you can save some cap via a technicality doesn’t mean you should.
Sometimes in life, sacrificing to maintain a positive relationship while providing a PR boost to fans & players alike is worth the cost of not following your cut throat business model.
@TigersJUK@kingduran59@MLB He wasn’t allowed to play in the MLB. It’s not like the JPPL because there were federal laws preventing him from playing. Stats against all white guys count the same as stats against all black guys. Differentiating Negro League stats from pre-integration MLB stats is racist.
“How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup.”
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today. ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.
UConn AD David Benedict tells ESPN that he’s imploring the NCAA and president Charlie Baker to take a stand in eligibility cases where there’s NCAA rules being circumvented by a judge’s ruling.
“If legally we can’t control or impose NCAA rules in terms of who can play and who can’t, based on a legal decision, the NCAA still has the right to determine what games count toward the NCAA tournament. And what games don’t count.
“The NCAA has deemed (Charles Bediako) ineligible. Fine, he can play (on a judge’s ruling). It doesn’t mean the games need to count toward the NCAA tournament. Otherwise, throw away the rule book and set it on fire. There are no rules.”
ICE thugs need to be abolished and tried in every city they destroy. Executing innocent people and deporting them to countries which we then bomb. Disgusting
