What's going on with Rick Peters? Is he on the injured list? Haven't seen him in the 42 years and I was wondering if something was wrong.

This is fun. And even Kreidler still got a hit. Wow.

According to a lot of medical people - the medical part was pretty accurate, but some griped about no ER would be that chaotic in a single day, but stop for a second - it's a TV show. I think a big part of this show's existence is to show America all the issues that these medical folks are dealing with and how maybe we should respect them more. The charge nurse getting coldcocked is not far fetched at all. Medical personnel get attacked all the time. Especially nurses and female staff (because of gutless men who won't fight someone their own size). Look, our society is **** right now. I don't think it's hard to understand why certain people are where they are. I blame Reality TV and it's insistence in putting people in constant confrontation - normalizing it. I blame the internet where you don't have to face someone to bully them and I blame the general spread of misinformation. The Pitt covered a ton of it and they didn't even really scratch the surface. The Measles Mom and her "Dr. Google" are a prime example. I trust people with medical experience, not a website. Websites can point you in the right direction, but they can point you down a dangerous rabbit hole. If the boy with Measles had been moved to a different hospital, they would have told her all the same things, and she still would not have believed them, because "on the internet it says........."

I don't think JB wins Coach Of The Year, but he should. It's not the final number as much as it's where they were coming from. But there's a lot of lazy records that'll just look at most wins and not consider where they were last year. And I think they left 4-5 wins on the table too. They lost some heartbreakers early on and then lost a few where their seeding was already decided late. And, as mentioned early, Ivey was becoming a really good player. It's like JB freed him to just play and he responded before the injury. But, if Ivey doesn't go down, maybe Malik doesn't do his thing. It was just one hell of a job by JB. If they narrow it down to 3 it's going to be Atkinson, Daigneault and Bickerstaff. If Udoka beats out Bickerstaff as a finalist, it would be an insult, but I think that would actually HELP the Pistons motivation-wise. Quite honestly, if this team has bolted for Las Vegas or Seattle or anywhere else after last year, I don't think people would have cared all that much. That's how bad they'd become.

They shouldn't count facing All Star teams that have a billion dollar payroll and the umps in their pocket against our record.

I was moving back to Michigan from New Mexico on March 26, 1997. The Wings-Avs game was on that night, the one the big fight, the night the Wings really won the Stanley Cup. I was driving in Missouri and listening on WJR - clear as a bell.

The key is winning 2 out of 3 at home and going .500 on the road. That's 95 wins right there. Winning 2 out 3 on the road. Keep that going...........

First of all. Congratulations to the Pistons for one of the most impressive single-season turnarounds in Detroit history. Maybe the most impressive (certainly in my lifetime). They went from being an afterthought to stealing the spotlight from the much-loved Red Wings. Cade Cunningham is perhaps the biggest sports star in Detroit now. You can make arguments for St. Brown, Skubal and Hutch too. The Pistons have not played their best ball lately. Maybe they were resting guys (like the last game), and maybe they were strategically making sure they got the Knicks in the first round, but the last couple weeks were the iffiest in a long time, but this is a series they can absolutely win. But be ready - the NBA is not about crowning the best team as the champion, the NBA is about building ratings. Teams that face the Celtics, Knicks, Lakers and Warriors are going to a the court slightly tilted against them. The best two teams all season were Cleveland and Oklahoma City and that's a nightmare final for the NBA. They want the big markets in it. They want the superstars. For the Pistons to beat the Knicks or Celtics, they will have to outplay them, by a fairly wide margin because close games are not going to go their way. They're going to have to play just about as perfect as they can J.B. Bickerstaff is Coach Of The Year. He won't win it, but he should. Anyway, this is exciting.

And the Dodgers pitchers have probably a strike zone the size of a shipping container and the White Sox zone is the size of a CD cover.

They seem as if they've checked out. Let me look -- Oh, oh yes, it's April 13th and they've checked out. I am telling you, if the Twins lose today, Baldelli's out. They'd be 4-12 - coming off of that collapse from last year. Doesn't matter if the teams is for sale - they'd say to Jayce Tingler - the job is yours the rest of the year, see if you can turn this around. It's early and fates can change in a hurry, but it just feels like the Twins need a reset and the only way you can really do that in mid-season is manager or major trade and they're not making a made trade right now. So far, so good for the Might Casey. Hopefully he's found that thing that made him a 1/1. Dismantling Seattle isn't impressive since they can't hit, but the Yankees were averaging 8 runs a game he he shut 'em down. We've got AL Rookie Of The Year Dillon Dingler in the lineup today, but we've also got Kreedler, it's like Kevin's dilemma on The Office. Angela's party has double fudge brownies, but it also has Angela........... Dingler!!!, Kreidler ↓↓↓

Congrats Bronco for giving us something to cheer for hockey-wise this year.

Bad as Baez has been, we dodged a bullet with Correa. Yeah, I wanted the Tigers to sign him too, but not at $33 million. He's a good player (or he was) but he is not a superstar - not even close.

I don't agree with that second part. Someone might be desperate enough. The Tigers found someone 6 games into the 2002 season - someone who knew they weren't going to be the guy. There are plenty of coaches that need a shot to pull off a turnaround.

4-12 if they lose tomorrow. You live there, but me, as an outsider, found it stunning that Baldelli wasn't fired in the offseason. Aren't the Twins for sale?

If the Tigers win tomorrow, Baldelli will be fired.

Jobe's pitches have some wicked movement. If he gets that under control, man oh man.

Could have been, if he only hit it a little harder.

Triple Play comin' !

Love it. Got a dot in the first inning. Thanks, Carlos

$33 million a year, eh? Javy's better !

Boston will go from Cup Conteder to bottom feeder to Cup Contender again and the Wings will still be hovering around 8th to 11th place in the Conference. I have zero confidence that anything will change. Just more Teresenkos and Petrys on the way.

2 BB in 55 plate appearances is also a bit worrying.

Oh, Gleyber's back. Good, We get to DH Colt.

They currently have 12 position players. Who's getting the call up? LOOK OUT OL' MATTY'S BACK ? ? ? I NEED TO KNOW..................NOW !!!!
