Sounds 15th century.

He can’t die tomorrow. My bag of confetti from Amazon isn’t coming till Tuesday.

Nothing like celebrating this holy day like announcing your war crimes

It was the kind of move that tells me the organization, particularly Chris Ilitch, is serious about putting a good product out.

Iran is probably already in the Signal chat, so it really doesn't matter if Trump broadcasts the US plans.

Break the internet...Hire Patrick Roy

The Yzerplan has no clothes.

Jesus would’ve stayed dead if he was a Wings fan.

no politics.

I’d be fine with that, although I like Dan as a radio guy.

She downed that like a seasoned vet.

Just keep in mind Dan's no spring chicken either.

I survived the likes of Bob Prince, Harry Caray, Chip Caray, Hawk Harrelson. I can handle Benetti

I’m starting to think this Michigan team might be pretty decent at the game of basketball.

UM will need him ready for Monday. 😄

Its fun to see all the memes.

The Fab5 altcast should still be an NCAA violation.

Was announced during the game and addressed in the post game interviews. Hip discomfort. I'd rather he wait until it warms up some more to pitch.

When I was scrolling through my Peacock account, I saw there were quite a few, but the only ones that are truly exclusive are the Sunday ones.

It certainly could. That was my pitching glove. I had a fielding glove that is smaller, but broke in even more. 🙂 I had another that was completely wore out and I finally had to retire it. Hated breaking in new gloves. When not in use, wrap a baseball in it. They don't do it today I don't think, but back then (70s) we rubbed them down with neatsfoot oil to soften them up. Things were much different 50 years ago. A funny little story. In 1994/1995 I coached a high school team. By that time all they had were aluminum bats. I suppose due to cost? Doesn't matter I guess. Anyway, I had an old wooden bat at home (I made one in shop class and used it, but it broke and never made another) so I took it to a practice late in the year. The kids were amazed. They never saw a wooden bat, and of course never hit a ball with one. It was neat to watch them all gather around and "wow" over that bat. We had to have extra batting practice so everyone could use it just to see what it was like. Oh wow, that was cool!!! No ping. A crack of a ball on a wooden bat. Music to the ears. The glove also traveled. In 1973 it rode in a car from a ball game in Mansfield, Ohio to our hometown (about an hour drive) with 4 other guys on the team, a case of beer, and a bong that was the head of Richard Nixon. The bowl was his nose, you sucked on his head, and his ear was the carburetor. 🙂 I wasn't quite old enough to drink, but nobody cared.

I wonder what Elon thinks.

Dafuq?

I'm not a fan of Benetti. He's going to make a list of about 10 things he has listed on a piece of paper fit in regardless if it does or not. And too often the broadcasts go off on crazy tangents that we just don't need them to go on. During last year's losing skids you'd hear Dirks and Benetti yucking it up almost pretending the squad wasn't falling apart almost trying to bring up any subject they could. And I don't know who's doing this was, but having JK Simmons on every other day as a surprise guest wasn't much of a surprise after awhile. I'd rather they had selected a Tiger fan of 60 years and brought that person in the booth and talk about that person's memories. In fact, why don't they do that. Maybe designate Wednesday games as surprise fan day - someone that isn't a corporate sponsor, a celebrity or a politician. Find people that have had season tickets for 50 years and find some of the "real" fans that never get to a game because their finances can't afford it but watch or listen on the TV or radio "all the time." I'd love this. The last two seasons in preparation of cable eventually losing the Tigers (yes, I still have cable) I've really transitioned to radio broadcasts again. Until the 1990s that's how I followed most games early in life, and I figured I'd see if I can do that if we decided to get rid of cable or the broadcasts ended up off cable. I've really enjoyed it. I sit on my front or back deck with the radio and our pet parakeet, read some of my old Sporting News newspapers or do whatever. Sometimes we'd be out there until 1 a.m. if the game was on west coast. I even listened to a couple of playoff games this way last year. I didn't feel like I was missing out. Sometimes when I came back in I'd watch the replay on in the background of the room as well and maybe see some of the plays I heard and not saw. It got to a point that there'd be times I'd come in from outside midgame and hurry to turn on the radio so I could listen to it in there forgetting I could actually turn on the television. 🙂 I am not going to lead a riot for his firing, but if Benetti was gone tomorrow, I wouldn't miss him.

I don't miss that roster, but I do miss that D on the home jersey.

I remember when streaming was beginning and everything was going to be cheaper and easier. And here we are.
