    Miguel Cabrera has won the Triple Crown! Congrats Cabby on a historic season! Time to tack on the MVP as well!

    With Trout going 1-5 (.324) and Mauer going hitless (.320), Cabrera (.331) should know what Hamilton does by the time the Tigers start their game.

    lol yeah, I bet JV is fuming after last start and the Sox better watch out, because I think the MVP is going to show up again today.

    Ryan Suter agrees to 13-year, $98-mil deal with Wild

    Weber won't sign an offer sheet. If he does, NSH said they will match it and he will be stuck there. He is going to wait til UFA next year to get his money.

    Suter Watch: Decision today, down to Wings/Wild

    well, if Pit is out on Parise, then wouldn't that leave the Wings and the Wild as the only other real options?

    Just got home from my little weekend trip to Detroit and Ohio, was fortunate enough to be at the JV game on Friday... absolutely electric! Wow, seeing that beast pitch in person is truly incredible.

    How in the world does Jim keep putting Raburn in the lineup? and at 6th?!? Time to take old yeller back behind the barn. He doesn't have it this year. He is a rally killer, every time he gets up he strands everybody on base, leaving the rest of the lineup scrambling to clean up his mess. Call up that Patterson kid from Toledo, he is at least hovering close to .300. Raburn is at a hearty .128

    So who still wants to keep Rabum in the lineup? Anyone? In the 30 games the Tigers have played, he has a total of 10 hits... hm. I think he has earned a trip to Erie. He isn't good enough for Toledo.

    I will just let Raburn's play speak for itself here (2-22 now)... I did think it was great that Cabby made the grounds crew re-chalk the whole batters box. Scherzer was pretty good today with 11 Ks, Delmon looked as lost as a hooker in church in left today, but he did hit the homer. Pretty quiet day otherwise from everyone else.

    anyone still on the Raburn bandwagon? He is worthless. Can't field, can't hit. He is a whopping 2-19 and that is a very impressive .105 AVG. He is choking worse than ever. We should have kept Clete and designated Raburn for assignment. I will give him another week or so before I really start ripping into him, but right now he is not contributing in any way shape or form.

    Shea Weber fined for Zetterberg "headslam"

    I think somebody is going to learn the meaning of "Kronwalled" tomorrow. This is a disgrace. A deliberate face smash into the glass is not a suspendable act? Weber definitely has a target on his back, and hopefully that will make him a little jumpy next game and throw him off.

    Inge hit .289 when he came back up and .318 in the playoffs. In September alone he hit .324. He was hurt all last year by his wrist and mono, but when he came back, he tore the cover off the ball.

    At least Inge can catch the damn ball. Raburn will never be a consistent player. Brandon won't hit .270, but he is clutch when it matters. 2 of his 3 homers last season were walk-offs. He struck the ball well this spring and is infinitely better with the glove than Raburn will ever be. Raburn booted the ball playing in left today too, so he has no natural position in the field. He is hitting like 2-12 this year... which is a .167 average and 4 Ks. Spring numbers don't mean s*** when it comes the the regular season. Jhonny drove in 0 runs last spring and everyone wrote him off... until he drove in 80+ in the regular season. Jim has some kind of hard-on for Raburn when Santiago should be playing in his place. Just keep Raburn off the damn infield, I am fed up with him costing us outs and runs.

    Raburn is pissing me off. He has misplayed 4 balls in 2 games by my count, and most of those cost us extra outs/runs. He needs to stay off the field. Year after year we see him boot everything. Put Santiago in the lineup and sit Raburn the heck down. He isn't hitting, so stay away from him.

    You can just tell that Prince and Cabby have a "anything you can do, I can do better" relationship. One will not let the other one out-perform him lol. They look like good buddies, and that relationship should translate into quite the power display this year. Gunna be fun to watch.

    No more offseason questions, no more spring training roster spots to fill, this is the big dance. Play Ball! JV on the mound and the most daunting 2-6 in baseball, should be a good game.

    in all fairness, Inge did hit this spring. His strikeouts were WAY down, he was hitting the ball square, it just happened to be hit right at people. That is a good sign. His AVG did not represent how he was performing. His last full season in '10 he played 144 games and had 514 at bats. If he had the K rate he had this spring he would strike out 52 less times than he did in '10. Math: 50 AB this spring and 8 Ks = .16Ks per AB. Over 514 ABs the K rate is 82.24. Back in '10 he struck out 134 times. The .16 is 11 points lower than his performance last year when he struck out .27 per AB. Don't write him off yet, he is striking the ball.

    Jim said Inge will be a platoon 2B who starts against lefties. He will have to hit to stay that way though. According to Leyland, there was never really any competition between Worth and Inge for the last spot.

    Needs to be said

    Let's just play whoever we play. There is no use trying to wish for a spot. It doesn't matter. I would rather beat all the good teams to win the cup then take the "easy" road there. Our job right now is to win games and get some kind of rhythm going. Who we play is who we play, bring on all takers. Every year we get into these discussions of who we would rather play, but honestly it doesn't matter in the least. Look at '06... any team is capable of beating any other team. When the playoffs start, every series is 0-0.

    That was a downright WICKED hop. No one in baseball would have gotten out of the way of that one. I had one rip off my collarbone on a bad hop while playing 3B before and those things hurt. Hopefully it is only a few stitches and a shiner.

    3/14 GDT : Red Wings 0 at Ducks 4

    this entire team looks lost. Kenny is sure kicking himself right now for not making a move for a forward, but hindsight is 20-20.

    Inge is gunna surprise people this season. He is finally healthy (he had a broken hand and mono last year, and the year before he was coming off knee surgery on both knees), and has been working out like a madman this off-season, gaining 18 pounds of muscle. Don't write him off just yet. 2012 is gunna be a rebound year for Brandon.

    2012 NHL Trade Deadline Thread - February 27th, 3:00 PM ET

    We have been missing a bonafide sniper since Fedorov, Shanny, and Hull left. We have lots of guys who can dish the puck, but with Franzen not reaching his real potential of a 40 per year guy, we need someone who can finish.

    2011 MLB Season Thread

    Glaring needs for next year: a second baseman, preferably one that can hit leadoff, a #5 starter, and a few good middle relief arms out of the pen. I am not even going to speculate as to a lineup for next season, but our top 4 SP are going to be pretty good, with JV, Fister, Scherzer, and Porcello. I heard the 2B market is pretty lean this winter, so a trade is not out of the question. I like our middle of the lineup with some combo of Boesch, Cabby, Victor, Peralta, and Avila. Looking forward to next March already!
