Well that was “almost” a monumental comeback

Almost a 3rd homer...but too little, too late,

Did miggy get tossed again?

I think they wanted to get someone in there with HR potential.

TWICE AS NICE.
Totally Tigers

Let?s ignore, for the time being, the issues surrounding holes in the roster and not enough suitable candidates within the farm system. Which players (not named Miggy) would our two bloggers deem worthy of keeping on the roster going forward in the future?

I wonder why they disqualified Miggy from the question?

I saw a couple tweets from Fenech that weren't really unethical, but he was intentionally trolling Verlander.


There was one specifically where Fenech tweeted something like "this victory proves trading Verlander away was the right decision"... (seriously?)



Not unethical, IMO, but definitely immature. Unbecoming of a columnist for a major newspaper.

He's a beat writer, not a columnist and a poor one at that. Many of us here could do much better than him, which is not saying much.
