Lynn's Back At It

Mr. Henning has a long article today rehashing some of his favorite topics: Armando Galarraga's savior status, the Tiger's offseason failures, Edgar Renteria being anti-splendid, etc.

He also veers into "Baseball 101" territory with some talk of Tigers' scouts and their input into player acquisitions.

There is an interesting quote from Captain Blue Shirt, President Dombrowski, where he basically admits this core isn't going to win a World Series. "We may not win with these players, because we're getting older," he said, with a touch of resignation. He's right, but it's interesting to hear it from the guy that doubled down on these guys a few months ago.

Anyway, I'm not going to parse this thing line by line but the opening salvo was vintage Lynn and it's all downhill after that:

When the Tigers invested heavily, even dangerously, in three National League stars during the offseason, any anxiety was overwhelmed by a baseball team's bliss.


I had a hard time comprehending things after that. I've got a brain that I'm trying to keep from melting here people.

Anxiety & baseball team bliss.

Tilt.
