Motor City Sonics

Here comes our mighty cleanup hitter Carson Kelly

Nice start.

What a beautiful sight...............Is to cry !

I'm excited to see BASEBALL.

Oh, I think Kennedy wins the election of he wasn't killed. Bobby was young, energetic, and didn't have the war attached to him. Hubert Humphrey was this tired old politician who had always been hanging around but never truly defined himself. A candidate like that took all the wind out of the Democrats sails. When Bobby was killed after JFK and MLK, it's like a lot of people just gave up. Humphrey wasn't even running, he didn't win any of the primaries. Eugene McCarthy would have done much better. I think he still would have lost, but at least he had something behind him. They settled on Humphrey and settling doesn't work in politics. Not for big offices. The Democrats lost a decade because they went with the tired old part of the establishment. Society was shifting in their direction on social issues and Anti-War, but they turned away from that. It was before Reagan turned "liberal: into a dirty word. If Ford refused to pardon Nixon, would he have won? The Republican settled for Ford. Reagan would have beaten Carter in 1976. In 2004 the Democrats settled for Kerry. I think Howard Dean would have won the nomination if he didn't yell with excitement and all he had to do was sway one or two states and I think he could have. He had some energy building behind him. Think of where we are now and the way Trump acts every single day and think about how just yelling in victory cost a man his campaign. Howard was ahead of his time. Gary Hart could have won it all in 1988 if he wasn't such a putz in his personal life.

Yes, might be best to separate herself from the party of lunatics until that's over. But that's a runaway train and that might not be over for a long time. She'll look very very weak if she caves now.........after how she's gone after him so aggressively. If Biden should drop out at some point (and he could), who would be the front runners other than Kamala Harris? Andy Beshear? (he'd pull some moderates) Chris Murphy? (he will get tagged as East Coast Liberal) Big Gretch? (the left would love her but I still think this country won't elect a female for President unless both candidates are female. We're still so stuck in the past. Joe's age is going to be a major factor (even through Trump is only 3 years younger and certainly not as sharp. Gretchen would drive the Right insane. She's been pretty successful here (in my opinion). Far from perfect, but things seem to be going well.

How long until Nikki starts praising Trump?

Oh, and 3. Do you think Mike Laga can continue this power surge into the season?

Big questions are 1. Is Miggy looking to be in good shape, has he slimmed down? 2. Is Bonderman's Change-Up coming along?

Get those kinks out in February/March. Not worried a bit.

For lo, my hangover is gone, the pain is mostly over and gone: the Tylenol appears on my counter and the time of the clearing of throat is come and the voice of Tom Waits is heard in my house.

For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone: the flowers appear on the earth: the time of the singing of birds is come and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land. Welcome back, baseball, be kind to us this year. At least keep it interesting all the way til September. We're hungry.

I wonder how many he's paid for (or had someone pay for him). Bet it's more than 1

Adam Ruzicka might be one of the dumbest guys in the NHL................sorry, formerly in the NHL. Stay off Social Media if you're that dumb.

Um........Who is Shannon Penn ?

This whole argument is stupid. It was based on a brain-dead caller who seemed to be unaware of Trev's reputation on the field, not even off it. From what I have seen, there were no tears on ANY teams when he left. Remember, calls come in with people that say "We should trade Kerry Carpenter for Nolan Arenado". Some kind of people that say we should trade for Anthony Rendon.

Someone tried to do it to Aziz Ansari, though he never actually assaulted her.

You have to consider everything now - since the Duke Lacrosse story and the UVA Frat Rape false stories - and that's unfortunate. Those two things did more to hurt future rape victims than to help them. Trevor Bauer's a weird weird guy and he's probably into some weird things, but I am not 100% convinced that she's the victim she claims to be. Is it possible (like in the Middle East) that both side are wrong? Anyway, I don't want a guy who's going to piss off his teammates and set a bad example for the youths in the organization. Good luck in South Korea, Trev. (or wherever he pitches).

When I went to school I wasn't allowed to drive or park on campus. Only Seniors and Juniors could drive/park on campus. So if you had a car and lived at the dorms, you had to park off-campus and walk. If you were a Freshman or Sophomore and got caught parking on campus, you got towed and it was quite expensive to get your car back.

I don't even think the sexual assault stuff matters. It seems like a lot of people hated him before that ever came to light. We have a pretty young team, we don't need that poison in the locker room.

Oh my. They play tomorrow.

I am not 100% certain that Parker Meadows and Colt Keith are making the team out of Spring Training. Maybe the Gio signing is a way to make both guys kind of prove they belong. Gio's on the team which moves Vierling back to an OF slot and McKinstry/Ibanez to Second - for now.

Spend on what? Were we ever in on Ohtani? Let me help you. NO. Yamamoto? NO Sonny Gray is 34 and the Cardinals will regret the deal. I am so thankful the Tigers didn't do anything like that. Cody Bellinger? Where would we play him? How many years does he want? Aaron Nola re-signed with Philly right away. Blake Snell? Probably wants too much money for too long. Matt Chapman? This year's Rich Aurilia. Who were we supposed to spend so much money on? Can't just spend money to spend money. Need to have a reason backing it. I'd rather have them focus on drafting and developing at this point. Hopefully this young talent continues to improve and we can fatten our payroll with our own guys. That's the goal, build from within. The Rangers broke a trend of spending to win a Series, but it hasn't been like that lately. For all the money the Dodgers spend they still only have one ring, from a year that barely counts. The Mets spend like crazy. Did it help them? I don't undestand the Gio signing unless this team just believes Vierling/McKinstry/Ibanez was going to be a defensive disaster. I mean, it's 1.5 million, so no big deal. I thought this year was all about evaluation.

Regarding the Lions. Don't forget that Ferguson kid. He's gonna be good.

Ruby Franke going to prison. She won't be taped to a chair, however, like she did to her children. Because that's what Joseph Smith would do? Another right-wing "family values" Republican. **** that whole party and **** Alabama again. Yes, I have lost friends over them being Trump supporters. I find those people absolutely poisonous and I don't want them anywhere in my life.
