you need a new manager, he's tired...plus whatever happened to your farm system, you guys always had 5 or 6 superstars in the waiting. Now I see you're like everyone else, trying to barter and buy a championship off the free agent market....sad, how bad everyone has followed the yanks instead of grooming their own...
oh and your pitching sucks....go phils |

They have quite a few highly rated prospects. Including Austin Jackson, who they got in the Granderson trade from the Yankees. At this point, the only really high priced guy the Tigers have is Ordonez and he'll be gone after this season. Scott Boras is trying to talk the Tigers into signing Johnny Damon to play center. Not sure if Dombrowski will go for it or not. Might not be a bad idea. They will wind up paying Justin Verlander a whole lot of money ( they recently offered him 5 years and 75 million ) but that would definitely be money well spent if Verlander avoids getting hurt. |

as a mets fan i hope yall suck forever,actually if you go back in the years where atlanta won the NL east all those years but only have one world series to show for it is....the offense couldnt put runs up or just put a team away. every game was a nail biter, and thats the problem in the present.

Lmao, I know that ain't a mets fan talking about choking.....wow, where have you been the past 5 years when they lost the division to the phils in the last week of the season with what appeared to be an insurmountable lead, oh and nobody has sucked more than my team "phils" throughout its history, but we are finaslly getting it together, now if we could just get a manager that can think past first base.

yeah but that was in the regular season not the 13 years of winning the NL east and only have one world series, i mean come on. but i did like mike schmidt of the phillies he was a pretty good third baseman,like brooks "the wall" robinson

I personally think Schmidt was a better defensive player than Robinson, but he hit so many homeruns that part of his game was over shadowed, I have never even to this day seen anyone play the bunt better than Schmidt.....but Robinson would definitely have to be second, damn vacuum cleaner he was.

Right now, one of the best defensive 3rd basemen in the league is Brandon Inge.
The only reason he hasn't won a Gold Glove is because he isn't a very good hitter. He had a great start last season. Something like 25 home runs by the All Star Break, but then he got tendonitis in both knees and his numbers dropped off. |
