Well that Red Sox rotation really trails off\n\nSchilling, Beckett, Papelbon, Matsuzaka and... Wakefield\n\nAs a Sox fan, i question the amount of money, but love the rotation for a few years.\n\nBeckett, Papelbon, Matsuzaka with a lot of young guys, Lester, Bard, \n\n\nIt has not been officially annouced, the bid has not been officially accepted, and Matsuzaka has not signed a contract - three things to remember..

Amen Sister!\n\nI am happy as a lark in mid-june!\n\nA few years back they started the season 4-0 and ended up 72-90. So I am not saying they are going to win the WORLD Series, but I am enjoying it while it lasts.\n\nJustin Verlander starts today, and he's got a good arm. he's a flame thrower...I'd love to see them 5-0. But I dont want to jinx them by saying they will win.\n\nWe got some young good arms. Bondermen should have a break out year, and hopefully win 15-20 games. kenny rodgers will be a good influence on the young arms (just keep him away from any and all cameramen!!! lol).\n\nShelton usually doesnt hit for power, more for average. So this is just a phase he's going through. If he can hit close to .300 (or better) I'd be happy.\n\nIf Mags can stay healthy all year, along with Guillen we should be ok. Polanco is awesome, he just hits the baseball almost everytime he's up. You can count on him being at or above .300 this year.\n\nIf Pudge has the same kind of year he had in 2004, that would be great.\n\nInge is much better hitter when he doesnt catch.\n\nGranderson has speed, but needs to work onhis outfield play.\n\nMonroe is good.\n\nOf course the trick is too put ALL THINGS together at the same time.\n\nThe baseball season is a marathon (162 games), so it's still way to early to tell. But so far I like what I see.\n\nGiving where The Tigers have been at over the last 14 years. if they win 79-80 games I would be happier than a lark in mid-june!\n\nWe haven't had a winning season (.500 or better) in 12 years. This could be 13. \n\nAnd please dont get me started on the owner, he is more concerned with his other team to even care about The Tigers.\n\noh Wow! Did I just babble? Sorry, but I love MY TIGERS! MY TIGERS! MY TIGERS!\n\nI am happy to see them in 1st place, but I know it won't last.\n\nThanks for letting me babble!

YES! Beyond a shadow of any doubt whatsoever! Right On Dude for speaking your mind and telling it like it is! I mean, like seriously, 14 years is a long time to sit on your butt and not do anything to improve a team that was in bad shape. Now, because of mike ilitch, The Tigers are the laughing stock of Major League Baseball. What really cracks me up is that he says he cares--PHOOOEY!\n\nYeah right, he cares---more about the stupid deadwings!\n\nAnd dont give me this crap that he built Comerica Park either. We all know why he built it (look at where it is located, and tell me he is NOT a selfish greedy punk!)\n\nAll I can say is I will be glad to see him vacant 2100 woodward ave FOR GOOD!

I hope somebody knocks his a$$ out. I mean these are just kids he's coaching. I'd like to see him do that in the NBA. That old fart would be in a coma if he pulled that in the pros. Just look at what happened to Carlesimo. nuff said.

The answer is David Dombrowski. He is the General Manager & Presient of The Tigers.\n\nHe took a chance on Pudge a few years ago, giving him a 4 year 40 million deal. He took a chance of Mags. He traded for Carlos Guillen. He traded for Palanco.\n\nHe's built up our farm system. Look at Granderson, Zumaya, and Verlander.\n\nWhen he took over in 2002, Randy Smith was our GM ( for 7 years)(and RS traded away all our good players).\n\nHe then fired Randy Smith and started building the farm system right away.\n\nAlso, Jim Leyland plays a big part of out current success.\n\nLeyland has The Tigers focused on the game at hand, not on where we were, or where we could be.\n\nHe instills a good positive attitude---something that has been sorely lacking for 12 years.\n\nI am enjoying this while it lasts.\n\nI hope it continues, but I do not have my hopes up too much.\n\nFor the first time in a long long long long long long time it is actually fun to watch them play.\n\nAll those losing years I spent agnozing over them is paying off now.

Pretty bad Job? Who the heck else was there? Carpenter? he was not as impressive as his year he won the cy young, and was never dominant and the Cy Young should be Dominant. Zambrano was dominant, but tailed off badly towards end of year. Hoffman was a joke, i dont care what his numbers say, i saw 3 seperate savesthat he blew in spectacular fashion by giving up Home runs to opposing batters, in one game against the dodgers he gave up back to back shots lol, Rivera has never won a Cy young, so theres no way on gods green earth Hoffman deserves one this year or any other year he's had. Glavine was very good, but again, not dominant. and Billy Wagner, gimme a break. Webb wasnt dominant either, but he really did seem to be the best  in the NL in a year where pitching was down in BOTH leagues. it was REALLY slim pickings this year in NL and AL.. Webb was a stretch, but if you look at the numbers, he really was the most consistent of what was out there over entire year\n\nI_love_\n\nThats Bull! sticking around long enough to become all time saves leader speaks to nothing more than longevity. The guy hoffman took that record from was Lee Smith. Is Lee Smith because he had that record the best reliever ever? if you say yes, then youre clueless. smith got that saves record for same reason Hoffman got it, they were around for so long ad averaged 30 plus saves a year. I dont question whether Hoffman has had a year he deserved the Cy young, in 98 he could have gotten it, but even then he Blew the biggest save of his Life to that point.. and then DESPITE his numbers, i watched him have sum of the most horrific blown saves i have ever seen, IN THIS YEAR ALONE` 4 come to mind!!  Hoffman hasnt been a dominant pitcher in a looong time and he didnt deserve it this year.. Webb got it by default because there was noone else ...maybe Carpenter, but thats it. \n\n\nAnd as for Rivera, he should have won in in 2005 , he was best pitcher in the AL, but AGAIN! the writers and their bs about giving the CY Young to a Reliever give it to Bartolo Colon ONLY because he won 20 games, with a near 4 era. im use to Relievers getting screwed for the Cy Young award. in NL and AL.. but Ive seen Hoffman in more big games than any hoffman fan wants to admit, gag like a mutt giving up HRs, not singles, or humpback liners, HOME RUNS!. Hoffman has ZERO argument

Mike's Defense couldn't even begin to approach Robinson's. The idea of that is absurd. Brooks Robinson was a defensive phenom the likes of which has not been seen since. We are talking about a man who perfected the barehanded fielding of a bunt and throwing to first in the same motion. This is the man who nearly single  handedly won the 1970 world series with his dazzling display of defense. The fewest errors Schmidt committed in over 100 game in a season was 15. He committed as many as 27. The most Brooks committed in over 100 game in a season was 18. In my mind it is not even close. Brooks is the greatest hands down. As far as hitters at third Pie Trainer was a much better hitter than Mike and a better fielder. Mike is not rated among the top fielding third basement at all by most experts of the game.

I am a huge Met fan. I usually follow baseball and my amazin mets through an assortment of ways (Go to see 4-7 games live, watch most on TV, listen to several on Radio). This year, a work assignment has me out of town from monday to friday in Atlanta (home of the hated Braves). I am seriously considering purchasing the MLB.com package and watching the games on the internet ...BTW, favorite Mascot is Mr. Met hands down...

He's a good coach who inherited great players.  He's a great manager of superstars.  He does a good job of motivating players and getting them to play together through distractions.\n\nI don't think he could coach a team like a Charlotte or Toronto and take them to a championship.\n\nPersonally, I think someone like Larry Brown, who has won on the college and pro level, with a lot less talent than Phil Jackson had, is a much better coach.

A-ROD HOW MANY WORLD SERIES RINGS DOES HE HAVE?
329592
my first thought was the '91 series you mentioned...game 7 was a true classic, probably the best world series game ever played...each game in the series was close except for \ngame 5 and 3 of them went to extra innings...by far the best series ever

The best sports coach/manager tirade ever was Lou Piniella while with Seattle in September of 2002. He went off. There was a bad call at first base and he was livid. He first threw and then kicked his hat (he would throw it again later). Screamed quite a bit at the ump. Then, this is the kicker, he threw first base into the outfield not once, but twice. That's a classic tirade and when he left the field, he got a standing ovation. How about that. This is all from memory, but there's a link below. Enjoy.

I like your technical objection. I assume you are talking about the '61 Yankees. Berra (22 HRs) only played 15 games behind the plate. Elston Howard (21 HR) was the primary catcher, and Johnny Blanchard (21 HR) was the main backup catcher and pinch-hitter.

What're his career highlights? Stinking it up in the only Super Bowl he led his team to? Being benched for Tom Brady, then cut for JP Losman, and now benched for Tony Romo? Choking in key games? Seriously....the man has nothing but slightly impressive statistics, went to the big dance all of once, and hasn't won ANYTHING. I'd love to see his play-off record, for example...
