If Vegas had a team it would only be fitting for Jeremy Roenick to be their inaugural captain.

Apparently you missed toolz19's post about the Tonight Show. I dont know how much more of a public display you can get than that. Millions of viewers got to see it dented. Your argument here has no substance, youre just taking it as another oppurtunity to whine about the Ducks. By the way, maybe you missed it but ive asked you a couple times about whether or not you thought Jiri Fischer's crosscheck in the '02 Finals was classy. Whats the word?

Aaaah understandable! Been to a few barn parties in my day, although never having owned any flannel or black biker shirts i always felt out of place there I'd always end up ruining my nice white shoes too!

Oh please...give it up already! As Mack said the Cup takes a beating every damn year. Even the Wings have done it.

Thats true, but, the Tigers havent been striking out like last year, theyre currently 10th in the AL. They could almost afford to have a guy like Dunn in there now, especially considering the guy he'd be replacing in the outfield is currently 3rd in the AL in K's anyway. There's a difference of about 30 K's between Dunn and Monroe, but obviously the production of Dunn over Monroe easily outweighs that difference. Plus he'd batting between much better hitters in our lineup. Im not saying im gung ho over going after Dunn though, i really havent made up my mind on that. Speaking of my boy Monroe, i read a little comment from him regarding all his strikeouts. Apparently he considers himself to be a power hitter with the likes of McGwire and Dunn, as he pointed out both those guys have high K totals too! Uhh...are you that stupid? Also he says its no big deal because a strikeout is just like any other out. Umm...no it isnt. Ever hear of advancing a runner? Kinda hard to do that without hitting the ball or just hitting a lazy fly. He really annoys me i tell ya...go steal another belt Craig. Oh, for anyone who didnt hear about Roman Colon in Toledo here's what happened. Apparently in the lockeroom, Virgil Vasquez turned down Colon's Ipod. Colon got pissed at him. Jordan Tata eventually got involved (in Vasquez's defense i assume) and things between him and Colon began to get physical. Jason Karnuth (i think its Jason..) tried to play peacemaker between the two, and ended up taking a Colon punch and having bones broken in his face. Colon was suspended for a week or so i believe, but theres been talks that the Tigers will just get rid of him now.

Mucker's team did fold royally to Anaheim when the stakes got raised, but you can hardly blame him for that.

Woah not bad at all!.... for a loogie hawker!

That seems really impressive to me SWF! Im not sure i could make it passed a couple miles without collapsing from exhaustion. Im a short distance runner, and i mean really short....like 40 yards short! (40 is just like my favorite number for everything you know? lol) Myself and a few guys at work decided to test our 40 times during lunch last month, just for NFL comparison purposes, and i ran a 4.7. I dont think thats half bad for a guy that hasnt ran full speed like that in probably 10 years! I kept telling everyone i was only 6 tenths slower than Michael Vick.

Im also off work today to go to the dentist. (shhh....my appointment time is actually after the timei usually get off of work)

Strangely, Rogers starts against the Yanks and A's in the playoffs last year actually ranks higher for me the Magglio HR to win the ALCS! His whole "in the zone/madman" demeanor and the way it got me fired up too is something i'll never forget.

Next time if Datsyuk wins it and is in attendance, ive already got the background music they need to use as he walks up to get his award. Lets set the stage: "and the Lady Byng award goes to.....Pavel Datsyuk!" (cue song) "Lady in red....is dancing with me. Cheek to cheek" Or how about my second choice, which is an altered version of an Aerosmith song. Dude plays like a lady

Im applying for the mascot coordinator job with Florida.

I hope i didnt miss Parlyzer, that song be my s***! (side note: I HATE the Barenaked Ladies)

Dunn's not coming here unless Trahern is involved! Theres like 4 or 5 teams who want Dunn at this point. Jurrjens is decently regarded but nowhere near as compelling to them as Trahern would be. Shelton's value has plummeted, and Monroe is entering free agency at the end of the year i believe anyway. Reds could do much better than that package from another team. The current asking price for Lidge is a young catcher and young pitcher. Tigers dont have the catcher to give, so they'd have to make it a good young pitcher. Miner and Maroth dont qualify. There you're looking at De la Cruz having to be involved probably. You have to give to get! Put it this way, the original scenario from the what manny posted was Dunn for Trahern, De La Cruz, and Rodney. Your counter is Jurrjens, Monroe, and Shelton. Thats some dropoff aint it?

Its what ive been saying about Monroe all along. The occasional "Craig did it again!" moment (although its been few and far between this season) tends to mask all the other countless games where he does jack and basilcally hurts the team with his K's and pop ups. He's inconsistency at its finest. Taking one positive note from the loss, Durbin got hit around quite a bit in his short outing today. It'll make it a little easier for Leyland to move him to the pen now, where he can help out. When Rogers and Robertson are ready to return, I want Miller up here for good. Where did you get all these names from? Detroit is NOT getting Lidge and Dunn without giving up at least one of their premier prospects. Bundling together a whole bunch of average MLB'ers and average minor leaguers doesnt get you that. Thats like one of those crazy Maltby, Meech, Lilja, and Samuelsson for Iginla trades people post!

Me too! Those are like the only words i can make out too When darkness turns to light, it ends tonight...it ends tonight!

You may be right, cause Eklund's rumors sure do boggle our minds!

I havent heard anything about this. If we acquire Dunn, moving Monroe is a no brainer. He's a lame duck out there anyway.(nice game today by the way C-Mo...) Next year, Dunn moves to first with Maybin in CF, Granderson LF, Magglio RF. He could also play some at 1B this season, depending on how Casey is doing. You have Thames to throw in left when you do that so again, Monroe's not needed. I hate to lose Trahern, but having Porcello now softens the blow.

Re-signing Horton for one..

So I guess when Bazardo inevitably gets hit up, Colon will be next in line.

I dont see what the negative is, he's not exactly replacing a guy who did anything. Its like the Wings canning Dave Lewis, no harm in it. If Keenan doesnt work out, they move on. So what if you lose Playfair out of it. Worst comes to worst, Sutter is capable of stepping in if need be.

Guys if theyre not going to deal, we're just going to have to ride it out with Rodney. There is simply nobody else to bring up, Toledo is full of junk, Byrdak was it. As far as relievers theres nothing in Erie either..unless you wanna convert one of the starters. The Tigers dealing for Otsuka from Texas is picking a small bit of steam.

Gotta love the one commentor who tries hard to make a point, then throws this in at the end:

You certainly arent drawing a parallel to the ratings Detroit garnered vs that of New Jersey are you? Right there explains the drop off from 02 to 03, nothing to do with Carolina and Anaheim. Devils = San Antonio Spurs.
