Motor City Sonics

They can beat the Yankees in a series but not the Marlins or White Sox. WTAF is going on, man. They are making this way too close now.

I've been better, but I also will get better. It's more of a frustration right now. Don't miss your yearly checkups. Glad I didn't miss mine.

Maybe just have him skip it or delay his turn a few games then. What's he got to prove at this point?

I've been in my treatment/post treatment haze since yesterday afternoon. How serious is the Tark Skubal injury?

I was a fan, but he turned out to be pretty awful. Woman-beater. Twice, at least. Go hit a wall, dude, don't hit a woman or another person.

I can't stop laughing.

When my flight to NYC got cancelled the last year of Yankee Stadium and I had to switch the tickets from my name to my friend from South Carolina's name at Will Call, the Yankees ticket guy called me to confirm and I told the story of my flight cancellation (Spirit Airlines had planes repossessed that week) and he felt bad about it. He switched the name for the tickets to my friend's and a week later I got a box filled with programs, t-shirts, magnets, and other Yankee Stadium trinkets along with an invitation that if I was going to be in NYC before the end of the year - to call him on his mobile phone and he'd get me in (except for the last two weeks of the season). Couldn't believe how incredibly nice the Yankees ticket people were. But I still hate the Yankees. (I couldn't book another flight same-day because it would have been $1200 round trip and I couldn't do it, but you couldn't actually PAY me to fly on Spirit now - then and their stupid urine-yellow planes).

I still can't believe that Tim HIll is only 35.

And the most astounding fact about that whole inning is that Hill is only 35. Dude looks like he's 65.

At my funeral instead of a montage of pictures on a screen set to some sad music, I just want a loop of tonight's 7th inning to play

Yesterday was ugly as hell. The O-Line has to get. The new Coordinators have to sort it out. There's a ton of talent on the team and they don't need to give up on anything. Might be a bit of a down year, but this team is built for a 3-year run right now. And never give up on a game. The Bills proved that last night. Never give up.

Well, the status of baseball after 2026 is going to make this a weird offseason. A work stoppage/lockout/strike is all but guaranteed after 2026 and this one is going to be much nastier than 1981 or 1994. There's so much uncertainty with television contracts and streaming and salary cap/floor and two teams that really haven't solved anything yet. I mean, have the actually started really building something in Vegas yet, or are they still moving dirt around. Last I saw it looks like they are building something that could be converted into a parking garage or hotel. Nothing looks like close to a baseball stadium yet. And the Rays situation is a mess. I mean, any mention of the words salary cap ends negotiations with the players, so I don't know where this is all going. I'm pretty sure it means we won't get April or May baseball in 2027, at the least.

Maybe this is their worst half all year. Still only a two score game. Perhaps coach thinks a reset is more important than making risky plays.

They suck. Terrible team right now. They'll likely make the playoffs (barely) because of their first half, but they are getting blown to smithereens in the postseason. Unless they can find a way to quickly clone Skubal. The pitching staff is dog meat.

Didn't even last a half before calling for firings. Where are these perfect OCs and DCs you demand we get? This is kind of how they looked at the start of last year. It's a tough deal. Not playing during the preseason to avoid injuries but then they have no timing at all.

Thank you Twins for slowing down the Tigers collapse. The reason I find this so frustrating, how bad this team is right now is that they had a great first half and had plenty of pixie dust sprinkled all over McKinstry, Baez and Mize. The time to strike was NOW. The Twins of 2021 or Orioles of 2023 probably thought they had long runs of winning wrapped up and look a them now. Doing next to nothing at the trade deadline was pure incompetence. No guarantee they repeat the first half of this year. They puckered up their ass cheeks and barely did anything. Trading for projects and injured guys that might not even play this year. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. Now they're one of the bottom third teams in baseball. ♫We asked for Mojo Nixon. They said "well, he don't work here". We said 'you don't got Mojo Nixon then your store could use some fixin'. We got into her car, away we started rollin' I asked 'how much you pay for this?' She said 'Nothin', man it's stolen. Punk Rock Girl, you look so wild, let's have a child, we'll name her Minnie Pearl. Just you and me, eating fudge-banana swirl, just you and me, yeah, we'll drive around the world, just you and me, Punk Rock Girl♫

Oh, so maybe Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn weren't so bad after all.

So they're already 0-3? Okay. And they were going 6-11 last year because they lost the 2nd game of the season.

I told you, this defense is awful. Just awful. Don't know what's worse right now - the Lions defense or the Tigers pitching.

Rooting for the Jets, man.

He's a freshman. It's gonna be like this against the good teams. We hope to see improvement by the end of the season. This is what you're in for when you start a Freshman. It's not surprising.

47-9, Micah. Still stings, don't it?

There's no such thing as a "trick play".
