When I was a kid, when I’d hear an announcer say that a win was good for a team’s morale I thought that meant morals. So I’d picture teammate after a win being nice to each other and complimenting each other and going out for dinner together. But after a loss arguing with each other and swearing and getting drunk and finding scapegoats on the team.

Dan’s call of the Vierling homer Vierling HR.m4a

I think he should have had it.

He made some ok points, but I think a) fewer fans than Eno thinks have rose-clolored glasses about Mike I and the Tigers. I then most see DD as the reason for the 2006-2014 success, not Mike I: and b) saying baseball is dying in Detroit is being a drama queen. The interest is still there and was intense a decade ago. The team sucks and that will affect ticket and merchandise sales, but 2006-2014 bought them some time. I think it would take another 10 years of losing for fans to permanently stop caring.

Don’t want to end up 12th because if I’m interpreting rules correctly that officially would knock them out of the Bedard running. You can only move up 10 spots.

Always nice to beat the Leafs. Hard to believe this is only Larkin’s 2nd career hat trick. 31 goals this year.

3 goals on 8 shots and the Wings lead the Leafs 3-1 after 1. Maata, Berggren and Larkin with to the goals.

Outscored 21-3 this series.

The end is near.

Wings don’t do well in back to backs.

It's funny, they're 5-10-1 starting with the Ottawa games and if they had merely played to their season's average of a point per game during that stretch they'd only be 4 points out of a playoff spot with a game in hand and we'd by psyched about tonight's barnburner in Manitoba.

He's young and can suck it up. In the past 2 weeks I've been in Tokyo, Taipei and Regina, Saskatchewan and I'm still fully able to type up a storm here on message boards.

5-8-1 for the month going into tonight’s tilt in Winnipeg.

I’d like to see 82 points in 82 games and would be fine with whatever draft position that yields. They’re at 75 in 74 right now with a fairly tough schedule remaining.

Buzzer beater!!

2-2 with 4 minutes left in 3rd. Wings coming on strong.

I don't really care for his voice. He is penciled in for 40 road games.

https://www.mlb.com/news/justin-verlander-injured-list-opening-day-2023 Mets right-handed starter Justin Verlander will be placed on the injured list with an upper arm injury, which the club announced on Thursday as a low grade teres major strain. The team added that Verlander will continue to throw at “moderate intensity” and be re-evaluated in a week. Verlander said he felt “a teeny bit of something” following a bullpen session on Wednesday.

If it weren't for the fact that Michigan is again a Big 10 football power and the Lions will go to the Super Bowl within the next three years, I'd be getting impatient and discouraged about the state of our sports teams.
