I understand where you're coming from, but you could at least be happy for a Tiger doing well in the minors. Too much to ask?

OMG! You're right. He sucked! Can't believe he was even on the team. How could our coaching staff be so stupid as to run him out there? What was I thinking? I apologize for being excited that one of our guys made it to the minors and is doing well so far. The shame.

Maybe he is following a dream? We can't all be Wall Street tycoons like you. There are some people that would love to play ball for peanuts than drive a truck or deliver pizzas.

Geeeez, you guys are too much. Quit being a Debbie Downer.

i think he went straight to the regular single a club, bypassing short a and rookie league. So it isn't the worst competition in the minors, but close to it.

Seriously the penis envy on this board amazes me. You don't have to praise everybody that wore a Tiger uniform, but LE and Elleshoe and the like make it their job to bring negative sentiment into every fricking thread.

He was a fatty up until this year. When I saw him throwing 91 in the CWS, I figured he would get a shot. Goes to show what hard work and a chance can do.
