#Tigers will get pitcher Grayson Long from #Angels in the Justin Upton trade.

The Tigers just need a new ballpark to get winning again, and that will bring back the fans.

Maybin picked up by the Astros off waivers making room for Upton to play LF in Anaheim.

Logically this shit had to happen. But it hurts. Fuck.

I'm not ready for two more years of shitty play, considering it's this front office in charge of putting together a winner.

by Guest 2017-08-31, 23:36

Verlander just nixed a deal to the Astros that would have brought the Tigers a damned nice haul. Mike Cameron's kid and 2 others.

Why JV Why.

JV feels he is a tiger for life I get that but go win your world series man we will still put you in the hall as a tiger

I really doubt that to be honest. I don't think he wants to endure this rebuild, but I think he's comfy here and if he's gonna get dealt he wants the perfect situation for him. Which, 100% means he's waiting for the Dodgers.

by aualum06 2017-08-31, 23:56

Stros apparently declined the 2020 option

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2017-09-01, 00:26

Spoke too soon. He gone apparently.

I'm glad. Hope he goes and gets that ring.

Rosenthal: With Verlander, Astros go all in for their city

by **DWags** 2017-09-01, 08:34

Look, Detroit could have helped the city of Houston in other ways. I feel bad about the flood but this is foolish.

by aualum06 2017-09-01, 08:36

This is the only move that makes me a little bit sad

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2017-09-01, 10:08

Lynn's writing style makes me crazy. It's not a novel Henning. Cut the whimsical superlative bullshit. But he has a decent handle on Tigers-related stuff.

If I'm honest not a super fan of him comparing Detroit in 2006 to a city that had a lake dumped on it 5 days ago. But I get it, he's transitioning to the new club and all that.

by aualum06 2017-09-01, 19:03

I hope Fulmer doesn't have to have Tommy Johns. Out two starts, seeing James Andrews

by **GRR Spartan** 2017-09-01, 19:51

Seeing Dr. Andrews is never a positive unless it's for post op and surgery was successful.

Fellers.....Tigers are due to win one....Indians are due to lose one......and with Zimm pitching an O/U of 8 is a joke.

I've been so bogged down with my new house and family stuff I haven't been able to watch baseball. No baseball and beer make Steve go something and something.

Jose Ramirez for MVP.

I'm glad football season has started

by **I.B. Fine** 2017-09-03, 19:54

Have to say, the Tigers were very hospitable to the Indians, who have been playing over their heads for the last month.

And Goose, betting against the Klubot is always a very bad idea.

Too bad Houston keeps winning, hoping for home field advantage for Cleveland.

Saw that Brad will probably be back. Truth be told what difference will it make who managed the team next couple of years? He'd probably get a better job if they let him go and he'd do better at his second stop like most managers do.

Seems like it would be cruel to hold on to him only to fire him once the team turns the corner. Oh well it's a tough business.

His contract is up after this year, so no one would be forcing him to stay

Good point. Maybe he'll peace out. His win % is only going lower if he stays.
