    Verlander finishes 2nd in the Cy to Porcello after the two clowns voting in Tampa left him off the ballot. In other news, the Tampa baseball franchise should be relocated to Japan. Kate Upton threw some fire on Twitter

      Upton reminded everyone why Verlander is not really losing when you get down to it. He's doing alright.

      At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

              Mike Ilitch has died. He was 87.

                Hammer

                Wonder what the estate tax valuation will be on the Tigers (and the Red Wings)? Some CPA firm is going to rake in a nice fee for that return!

                And once that's in, the For Sale signs on both Comerica and Little Caesars will go up.

                  The only one we have to deal with right now is the Tigers. The rest of it can pass through to Mrs I. Since she owns Motor City Casino, she is ineligible to own the Tigers. Either way, the valuation will not be pretty, for estate tax purposes. The estate tax bill from the Tigers alone could very easily be north of $500 mil.

                  It would not surprise me to see the Tigers sold by the All Star break. The Ilitch family will not own this team much longer.

                    Does Gilbert come in and buy the Tigers? He could have MLS, NBA, and MLB teams. Of course, then we're subjected to Rocket Mortgage commercials for all eternity.

                      First, RIP to Mr. Ilitch. I'll always be grateful for him making the Tigers relevant again(on top of everything he did for hockey at multiple levels) and he actually seemed like a decent guy.

                      Second, it's not like this was unexpected. There were rumors about a month ago that Tom Gores was in line to buy the team, so I would expect that process is already well underway.

                        Gilbert cannot. He owns 5 casinos in Ohio.

                            So, how long can the Tigers run with a 4 man rotation this season?

                            Potential 5th starters through ST

                            Mike Pelfrey: 3 games, 6 IP, 12 H, 8 ER, 3 BB, 2K
                            Anibel Sanchez: 2 games, 2.2 IP, 7 ER, 9 H, 3 BB, 2 K (not counting today’s start where he 3 IP, allowing 4 R on 6 hits including 2 HRs)
                            Matt Boyd: 2 games, 3.2 IP, 4 ER, 8 H, 0 BB, 3 K

                              Pelf was born to be a fifth starter. He'll eat innings, too, you'll get a minimum of 6 out of him every start.

                                Had him last year. The minimum of 6 also referred to runs given up in each start.
