JD for the D-backs.....39 of 63 hits for extra bases....27 jacks...58 ribbies...294 avg....734 slugging.........1.098 ops....in his prime. 43 bombs on the season........300 avg... Could have been one of the greatest Detroit "story" acquisitions from the scrap heap since Kris Draper if we could have kept him...... lol.... Good luck to him in the playoffs. Hope they meet up with the Strohs in the WS.

Relieved to not have to worry about Verlander's pitch count anymore. And from the glass half full side............won't have to worry about seeing a no-no at any given moment BY A TIGER PITCHER down at the COPA anymore. Now from an OPPOSING pitcher.......

I don't put any stock in what Cowherd says about the coaches/wives moving. But he makes a good point about the Matt Ryan comparison. I think Ryan and Stafford are very similar quarterbacks. People are putting the Lions record on Stafford, but anyone who knows this organization knows that the record is much more indicative of the ownership/management than it is a representation of the QB. Stafford, 61.5% 187 TD's, 108 pics. Ryan, 65% 240 TD's, 114 pics

Miami: Rookie De'Veon Smith notched 12 yards on 7 carries with a long of five yards on 10 total snaps in a 23-20 win over Atlanta. Can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would think he could play in the NFL. #ThomasRawls...........

Who should get the money if it didn't go to the players? The owners are already getting a getting a good return given the increase in team values. How about lowering the ticket prices or the price of food/beer, but that would be to much like right I assume. Bammm!!!!!!

The insanity of this money in all sports is mind boggling!! What will Rodgers get in a couples years. Trout, Harper, not sure if I can count that high! The NBA deals! Over/Under on the year it all comes crashing down?? 2030, 2035? Sooner?

Here's where that rule really sucks. 10 & under baseball. My grandson's team was frequently victimized by that rule. This was not travel baseball, was just basic little league with many first timers (including my grandson). First level up from coach pitch.

Nice recovery by JV last night. After that first inning thought for sure line score was gonna end up 51/3 IP, 6 runs, 10 hits.

Nice job by the Griffins in taking the Calder Cup. Of course tap the brakes on the "once we call up all those guys the Wings will be Cup contenders again" banter.

I'm sure regionally speaking most Michiganders browsing this board (the 1 or 2 of you besides myself) are Detroit area based, but just wondering if anyone has made it over to GR to see any Griffins action. Have wanted to but timing just hasn't worked out for myself. Catching the video highlights online & looks like it's been quite an exciting run up to this point. Being raised on Minor league hockey here in Flint I've always had a appreciation for playoff hockey regardless of the level, & to enjoy it in person in the cozier confines of a minor league arena make it seem that more exciting. Here's hoping Grand Rapids can bring home another Calder Cup!

That was a comical ending even by Tiger bullpen standards. How the hell Trumbo hacked that pitch by JWill out of the park is crazy. I'd be checking for cork!!

I would have obviously still done the trade. It's just funny that this guy turned into maybe the most dominant reliever in baseball. Bingo. Fact is you have to have a lead before it's really important to have a guy to protect a lead. Still kinda odd the dude ended up in Cleveland of all places???

Hate to say it but so Tigers. Put up a 19 spot in game one, then the bats go shhhhh for 2 straight.
