Motor City Sonics

By the way, if your car breaksdown on Rotunda or the Southfield Service Drive by the Lions practice facility, the Lions security folks will be paying you a visit within 5 minutes and will stay with you until your car is fixed or towed. You won't be able to take a step towards that building. I dare you to try and fly a drone over that practice field.

This whole Sorsby thing is ridiculous and you know that others banned in other sports are going to cite this decision. People like Emmanual "No" Clase. This whole gambling thing is so out of hand. It's ruined sports and now it's getting into everything. My station runs ads CONSTANTLY for Bet265 and Polymarket, which isn't "Gambling", it's just the "futures market". People who just play around with these things a little bit get sucked in and it ruins their lives. Hey, you can bet on the Oscars, right? Well, somebody has to print those envelopes with the winners' names, so somebody already knows. You don't think someone at the accounting firm that counts the Oscar votes or the printing company that prints the envelopes won't possibly call a third cousin somewhere and give them the info. NO WAY! I have always wondered why we couldn't bet on sports and we could play the stock market and I thought it was cool that they finally allowed it - and I actually made decent money on hockey bets, $10 at a time until they stopped with the 5.5 over/unders. Once they upped it to 6.5, I opted out and only rarely bet small amounts now, but maybe 3 or 4 times a year. But it's just everywhere now and it's quite an experience to watch someone at a Buffalo Wild Wings have a total meltdown because he just lost 2K on a Bills-Saints game because Buffalo didn't run up the score and cover the spread. Someone who probably doesn't have a ton of money to start. "Sorry, Hun, We're being Foreclosed. WHAT? FORECLOSED? Yeah, the Bills decided to run out the clock. Someone with nothing left to lose is going to target a coach or athlete. Someone already fired a shot at Andy Reid in his office. Gee, I wonder why.

Is JV starting this game?

Wow, I meant to say Christopher's Mutlisanti's Intervention, not Funeral.

Best thing is that the laugh was real........

Damn, this feels good. Maybe there's hope

Larkin was quite honest after last season's trade deadline when the Wings did nothing. He told the media that it deflated the whole team. That's where things broke. It's so bad that the team captain, a guy that grew up rooting for his hometown team, wants out. But honestly - why not? They haven't done anything with him here. He always seems to get injured about 3/4 of the way through the season - and that's when they usually collapse. So why not? Maybe they get lucky and get a hockey version of Ben Wallace.

The innocence on display there. A humble kid. He remained that way too. This was before it really blew up, but when it did he couldn't believe what was happening, but he went along for the ride and ejoyed it - in a genuine way. No ego trip with him. Even after got so big and it evaporated so fast, he was never bitter about it. Baseball seemed more pure then, but maybe that was beause I was 11 and everyting did. Remember, this kid came along right after we lost Vietnam, right after Watergate. We needed him. I think there probably always was a sinister element of baseball, but with only 3 networks and local papers controlled by the teams, we never really saw that dark side. There were some horrible people mixed up in the game, but their stories got buried. So much different now. Most of the players are so removed from the fans now. They aren't even approachable, for the most part. For every Sean Casey there's five Will Clarks. And now we're facing what I think is the very real possibility of not having a season next year. The owners and most of the players have enoiugh money to hold out. Money ruins everything.

He told his catcher during that game in Baltimore that something went pop. He felt something give. I heard the rumors about escaping a jealous husband too, but yeah, they overused him in 1976. 24 complete games and I think 4 of them went 11 innings.

Naylor's a jackass

You sensed it, maybe not the racism part, but the a-hole part.

He's had an odd career. I don't think he's done, though He should sign with the Rockies and hit a bunch of HR in the altitude and some dumb team (The Angels?) will be suckered into something like 3 years, 85 million

Maybe you disliked him because he was an a-hole and a racist.

They send Lee down instead of getting rid of Short? F YOU HARRIS !

NO...............LEAD............IS...............SAFE

Oh, no real roster moves today? I hope Tampa destroys them.

Clark is not ready. Blistering start - then the other teams figured him out and he's cratered since then. OBP of .319 at AAA does not indicate readiness. The other OFs I mentioned (Malgeri, Julks and Gentry) are all over .385. I think they'd have a puncher's chance of making a difference. Anything on Meadows? Anything on Baez? I think Malgeri has a shot to be an okay player. A better option than Perez and maybe Vierling too. The other two guys? Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Just make it a four-hour Vanilla Ice concert.

Do you think it's more likely that all of these bands that dropped out of the Redneck 250 thing were misled about what it was (the location would be a dead giveaway) or is it more likely that they, being washed up, were so excited to get invited anywhere that they said yes and their fans went nuts on them? I say the latter.

It'll be Tea and Scrumpets for everyone !

Ben Malgeri - All three OF positions .399 OBP, 1 error in RF Corey Julks. Corner OF, average defense, .385 OBP Tyler Gentry. Corner OF, .396 OBP. Good defender in the corners. Don't know about his range. Any one of those guys for Perez?

I don't want to hear about injuries. This isn't about injuries. This is about poor roster building and poor managerial decisions.

Twice he's done this to Montero this year. The other time was what, 71 or 74 pitches. He was cruising. He earned the right to blow his own game. And of course, didn't know when to pull Vest last week when EVERYONE else saw he didn't have it And as far as the bullpen blowing games. Have they been that bad? Honestly? Or are they just giving up runs like a normal bullpen for a team that can't produce any run support for it's pitchers? Goes back to the lineup of horrible players who can't support ANY pitching. But let's not make any changes. Let's just keep going. Carpenter came back to save us. He gets a hit and then the Genius pulls him for ****ing Jones. I'm just so done with him. Just put your best out there and let them play. Stop with so much platooning.
