Motor City Sonics

It wasn't dramatic. He had it locked up in mid-September. If anything it only means he'll cost more and it's very likely that we're only getting one more season with Skubal in Detroit. Welcome to the Tampa Bay Rays of the North. Soon as we fall in love with a player, they're going bye bye. There is a difference. Nobody gives a **** about baseball in Tampa, and you can get away with pissing of your meager fanbase. Can't do that here so much. We're going to have to learn that the hard way.

Not really, but why not LEAD ?

Screw that, The Red Wings are the ones that need him.

That was when it was the old board and that's all been deleted, but it would be interesting to see the reaction here. I think I liked the pick, but didn't love it. But that could be my own Mandela Effect.

When is Iffy coming back? Secondary is already great

WOW...............WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW.............CHRIS ILLITCH, I APOLOGIZE ! NOW THAT'S A BOLD MOVE ! (just trying to will something big here)

Not upset about Vogt winning it, but Hinch should not have been THIRD.

Dearest Constance, The Winters here are harsh and despite my hubris regarding my chances of surviving and even thriving in the wild, I find that no amount of of confidence is enough to sustain me now. I was merely fooling myself. This cold envelopes me at a cellular level. My food stores are very low and I am finding that I am too week to collect, much less chop fire wood. I am leaving you this note in the hopes that if my remains are eventually found, you will know that I did this for you. I survived several years on this frigid plane known as the 40-man roster. Every once in a while there was the warmth of attaining the active roster, but by the time those opportunities came around, I was far too weak and weary for it to last. Now I am cold and alone, waiting for the end as time tortures me with fleeting visions of hearing my name called by the PA announcer in a canyon-sized baseball cathedral. Even those dreams are fading. I will make every attempt to linger until Spring, but if I don't make it - please don't send my remains to the White Sox organization. Even in death one needs pride and dignity. Yours lovingly, Akil.

Tork is in the starting lineup next year, no matter what. From Opening Day. It's up to him to earn his stay there. Whether they find someone to share the load at 1B/DH, I don't know, but you don't bail on a guy who just turned 25, who, at 23 hit more than 30 HR. Just stop with all this ridiculous talk about him being put on waivers. It's not going to happen. He and Mize have to prove it this coming season, but I refuse to call him a bust just yet. I think he's developed some bad mental habits that need fixing and hopefully the Tigers have the guys who can do that. He'll be given every possible chance, and he should be given that.

I still remember the Lions folks celebrating in the draft room when they got Sewell.

And the folks are right to vote this down. The money needs to go to fixing the hurricane damage, not a playpen for a billionaire.

It's time for MLB to admit their mistake. They desperately wanted teams in Florida. It doesn't work there. In either league. Look how long it took the NHL to FINALLY admit defeat in Arizona, when people would have told you from about the 4th year that it wasn't going to ever work there. Nashville is begging for a team. Oakland would love to have a team (and go to court over who should own the rights to the name A's). I don't think there are too many other cities where it would work. Montreal? Maybe. Charlotte? I don't sense a clamoring for baseball there. Portland? No. Salt Lake City? Don't think so. Some perfectly good markets would not get approved by other teams over regional issues like Indianapolis (what a great spot for a team) and Northern New Jersey. It just feels like it's Nashville or Bust. They'd flip for a team there.

He'll be going to work for RFK Jr. in the Health Care field. Ayahuasca Tea will be available at every 7-11. Just make sure you have a working toilet near by. He'll probably find a way to give the Lions food poisoning before the Super Bowl.

Some very inconsistent goaltending. Some nights they've stood on their head and that's the only reason that 7-9-2 isn't more like 6-12 Pistons games have a better atmosphere right now. Never thought I'd see that.

Wait, the same Abby that scored goals in the first 2 games of the 2009 Stanley Cup finals that we won and then got benched after Game 3 by the coach who needed to prove some kind of point over something that was probably really stupid and macho ****headness. That Abby?

this is where JB can prove his worth. Remember, JD just turned old enough to buy a beer yesterday. A lot of molding to be done, but it can be. Needs the right coach for it. In that regard we're better off than a year ago. Give it some time.

Aaron Rodgers is 3-8 and the Cowboys are 3-7. 6-15. That's beautiful.

If Yzerman doesn't fire LaLonde, then Yzerman needs to be fired. Enough already. No more waiting on this. Rebuilding a mediocre 8th seed playoff team doesn't take this long. This is a failure.

Coach Hot Seat Rankings. 1. DOUG PEDERSON, Jacksonville. Can't believe it hasn't happed yet. But as of 8:28pm, nothing. 2. MATT EBERFLUS, Chicao. Cade Williams is getting pretty good, they can't risk wasting his talents with a terrible coach any longer. Ben Johnson might be the leading candidate for this job next year. 3. BRIAN DABOLL, NY Giants. That first year was so rainbows and unicorns. Wow, did THAT blow up fast. There will be an annoying amount of shots of Tommy DeVito's agent tonight. More than Kurt Warner's wife in the Super Bowl. 4. MIKE McCARTHY, Dallas. If they lose their 5th in a row, would Jerry do it mid-season? I have my doubts about that. 5. KEVIN STEFANSKI, Cleveland. Coach of the Year in April, Shot down in May. People were saying dark horse Super Bowl contender. Horse had to be shot. 6. ANTONIO PIERCE, Las Vegas. How many Head Coaches can the Raiders pay at one time. Never underestimate the Raiders ability to shoot themselves in the foot. Get ready for Ryan Day ! Yeah, that's a ridiculous take, but it's entirely possible with the Raiders.

These should be their full-time uniforms. red instead of orange I don't care, these are great.

Heck of a turnaround so far. Half the amount of wins from last year before Thanksgiving. 7-8 could easily be 10-5 too. Take advantage of this weak conference. Too bad a team in their own division looks to be setting a record for wins this year. Want a bold prediction? Is JB a great coach or was Monty really that bad?

But did Vance have that anger thing that Schwartz has always had?

I don't think any coach comes back to be lesser than they were the first time, but I do think Jim Schwartz burned a bridge here when he let his players carry him off the field after Buffalo beat the Lions.

Who cares right now. I just want to surf this wave all the way to the beautiful Super Bowl shores.

I didn't actually bet it. My bank blocks me from using funds for gambling. I have to move the funds to pay pal and i was far too lazy. I am sure the odds of Z getting a sack in the first series would have been pretty good in my favor,
