Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

Miguel will not be in camp for a few days, per Dombrowski.

Apparently he was driving a car that he was going to ship to Venezuela, presumably to family back home. The radiator blew, the car was pulled to the side of the road. Somewhere in there Miguel got liquored up, and was wandering into traffic while the cops were there.

Mea Culpa, eh, espanol.

I'll spit if the 40k fans at the Copa give him a standing ovation come opening day.

You better be ready to cough one up, then. That's the most predictable thing the fans will do that day, short of booing the mayor and/or the guv.

In other related news, Paul Carey is recovering from a heart attack.

Apparently Cabrera is in camp at 270 pounds, and it's muscle, not fat.

Ummmm.......okay.

So the Tigers won their spring debut against Florida Southern College, 17-5. Of course they gave up all 5 in the 9th!

Oliveros was the pitcher in the 9th.

Yes I know its like the 5th day of spring, but I couldn't wait to talk baseball!

Lester Oliveros is a few years away from the majors at this point. *shrug*

You think he's been doing the Herbal??

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

So, yeah about that 90 game win prediction...

Everyone has basically said what I'm thinking, but I'd think that Miggy is certainly worth the time to rehab if its possible. Hopefully it is, because if not the Tigers are F'ed.

Yeah... what he said.

Easier than paying up a pitcher of suds.

And, no, I don't expect bleeding heart fans to understand what I'm talking about. But, let's keep enabling these guys.

Tigers are now 2-0 this spring. Clearly my last comment was complete over-reaction.

We have an early nominee for quote of the spring. From Jim Leyland today:

Jim Leyland, after being asked by the New York media about Phil Coke: "He has an oar out of the water sometimes. He'll drive me wacky being on the bench between starts.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

Tigers vs Braves on ESPN at 1pm tomorrow - if you haven't set your DVR yet. Of course, I'm sure the only thing worth watching is the first inning, but baseball is on TV. Hooray!

Aaaaaaaand it starts. Zumaya has his elbow looked at.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

Heard on the radio this morning that Joel Zumaya, who's sporting a full beard, looks good.
A witness claimed his arm is attached to it's socket. That's promising !

This is the closest thing to any predictions I saw on the new thread. Have to check the old one.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

So far nothing new since the Cabrera meltdown. He's looking to lose some weight, appears to be a bit chubby. Don't talk about him or his problems, though or the Skip may yell.

Pitching seems to be coming along except for the Zumaya saga.

Guillen apparently won't be ready for the start of the season. Color me surprised.

Two weeks to go before we find out if this team is serious about a good April start.
