Motor City Sonics

It's nice to come here and socialize with people who know what's going on. Coming across other places and posts where people are furious that Jackson Jobe isn't starting Opening Day, much less coming North with the team because he struck out 2 guys destined for A-ball in a meaningless game. Freaking out because he can throw it 102 mph. I try to explain that Matt Anderson could hit 102 as well and the general answer is "who?". Why don't they just send Baez to Toledo? Don't try bother explaining anything about MLB options. It's like talking to a flat earther.

What does this say about the rest of this team. Larkin goes down and it is over. What a weak bunch this is.

This season is over.

If that is how they are making decisions, I don't feel comfortable about the future at all. They should both be gone. Jim's not here to protect Warde anymore. Clean break time. As Worm says to Mike McDermitt in Rounders "It's Highway Time". Paye Heem. Paye thyat myan hees mahney and send him out of town. Isn't Warde Manuel in charge of the upcoming playoff format for college football?

Has any else's DTE bills been through the roof the last 3 months? Mine are insane and we had an easy winter. I literally keep my house 60 degrees at night (I like it chilly when sleeping).

1-and-Done in the Big Ten Tourney - to nobody's surprise 8-24. Worst season since 1959/60 when they went 4-20 (1-13). This is in Year 5, not year 2 with someone else's recruits. That alone should be enough. The behavior was already more than enough.

Aaron Rodgers on the list to be RFK Jr's running mate? LOL. He's now sharing Sandy Hook conspiracies. Perfect choice.

I remember walking in there and seeing Dollar Tree on one side and Family Dollar and for about 10 seconds I thought I had stumbled onto a portal into an alternate universe. And I thought if the alternate universe still had a dollar store on the same spot than I probably wouldn't be better off, so I stayed on the Family Dollar side. Then I heard another customer ask about it and they said it was a merger, then I realized I hadn't unlocked the door to the multiverse, so I paid for my 3 beef & cheese sticks (which cost twice as much at a "convenience" store and I departed.

Karl Wallinger from the Waterboys and more famously World Party, has passed away at 66. I really liked World Party. "Goodbye Jumbo" and "Bang" were great albums of the early 90s with incredible production. I saw World Party a few times live and when I got to broadcast from Bonnaroo I got to meet him, briefly. They hadn't toured in some time and I asked why and he told me about a brain aneurysm he had in 2001 - it almost killed him and messed up his eyesight permanently. I had no idea. He was very nice and his remark about the weather that day "its hot as bollocks" gave everyone a good laugh. He hadn't been active lately, but he died on Sunday. He's the person that gave Sinead O'Connor her start. No video for this song, but the production is just stellar And an all-time favorite of mine

Well, not first degree but putting people in planes using a system their own pilots didn't even know about and being warned by several of their pilots that this was really bad............I think it meets the Crumbley Threshold. Boeing is lucky this happened really far away in countries that most Americans don't even care about, because if two planes had gone down for this reason in this country, there would be no more Boeing. They'd be gone. They probably should be anyway after this. Maybe they will be when more of the truth comes out. Boeing's very existence could hinge on this guy and well, problem solved? The FAA needs a complete overhauling after lazily allowing companies like Boeing to monitor themselves. A lot of people complain about government oversight getting in the way, but this is the reason we need it. People in part of West Virginia can't drink their local water because they chased the EPA away and a company the EPA was investigating polluted it. I don't believe that guy killed himself. I don't believe Jeffrey Epstein did either, but he was an evil person, so I think the world's a better place without him, so I don't care. But I do care about who made that decision and why.

Drafting so well means you get a whole bunch of good players with contracts to extend and they will lose some of them. I understand why they aren't spending big. Because they're going to have to soon anyway.

I mean, Boeing already murdered 346 people with the 737MAX............what's one more, right?

I don't want to believe in conspiracies, but I have a few (2002 Game 6 NBA Western Conference Finals was fixed, 1985 NBA Draft lottery was fixed and Oswald did not act alone), but then the whistleblower in the Boeing case "commits suicide". I'm not buying that. I'm just not.

not just that.

What a weak bunch this team is. Their leader goes out and they quit. The flat-out quit. I question it all at this point. How many more years do we have to wait, Yzerman?

Who is left from the Bob Quinn era? Ragnow Decker Okwara Cobinda and (sort of) Reeves-Maybin Is that it?

I don't remember any band in Boston called the Stompers. I do, however, recall The Stawmpahs

I know he wasn't facing major leaguers, but DAYAM, they probably wouldn't hit him either.

I think that was our play of the year.

Taylor Swift gonna drive MAGA crazy. Not into her music, but she's trollin' them big time. Call me a "Swiftie" now.

They're gonna make a deal for Justin Fields.

It just dawned on me today that you can bet on Spring Training games. \ I dabble in sports betting. I make $10 bets and no more (maybe the Derby or Super Bowl it's more) But betting on a game where the sole purpose is for coaches to look at players. Winning/losing does not matter. How much of a degenerate gambler do you have to be to bet on these games? I'm sure Pete Rose does because he's the definition of one, but man - putting your money on something when the teams aren't even trying to really win? Nuts.

Worst season since 1981-82 when they went 7-20. Bill Frieder's 2nd season, but then again Bill Frieder didn't need to be physically restrained from going after other people. Maybe a black jack table, but not other people. Fire him Ward or Ono fire them both. Who cares about contract lengths? You're out from under Harbuagh's money and the university has plenty. Reset this disaster of an Athletic Department.

Canada has lunatics too. LOL at these morons. Their hate is so strong that they thought Russia was the answer, and they didn't even learn Russian first. You reap what you sow, farmer boy. Plus, 8 kids? Trying to be the Canadian version of the Duggars? Might want to hold off on that, it ain't going to well for that family either. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/anti-lgbtq-family-who-fled-32201079 Anti-LGBTQ family who fled to Russia regret decision as locals don't speak English
