2024 Detroit Tigers Spring Training Thread
Motor City Sonics replied to Tigeraholic1's topic in Detroit Tigers
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. -

Motor City Sonics replied to Tigeraholic1's topic in Detroit Tigers
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). -
2024 Detroit Tigers Spring Training Thread
Motor City Sonics replied to Tigeraholic1's topic in Detroit Tigers
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. -

Motor City Sonics replied to Tigeraholic1's topic in Detroit Tigers
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. -
2023-24 Detroit Tigers Offseason Thread
Motor City Sonics replied to chasfh's topic in Detroit Tigers
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. -
Detroit Lions 2024 Offseason Thread

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.

Yep. He just admitted a crime.

**** Alabama.

Any American that goes or stays in Russia right now is an absolute fool. Stay out.

2023 MLB (non-Tigers) catch all thread
Motor City Sonics replied to Tigeraholic1's topic in Detroit Tigers
Rachel Phelps needs to sell the team. I hate what they're doing to their fans. It's straight out of that movie. Whats going on with Blake Snell and Cody Bellinger? I don't want the Tigers to consider either one of them. I don't like Snell, feels like he's only in it for the money. Are they asking for way too much or way too long? If fSnell doesn't sign in the next week, he's not going to be on an Opening Day roster. I know some Tiger fans still talk about Matt Chapman. I don't know. I don't think he's all that great. Reminds me of Rich Aurilia. Boy did we luck out there. -
2023 MLB (non-Tigers) catch all thread
Motor City Sonics replied to Tigeraholic1's topic in Detroit Tigers
Expansion Cities (counting the A's in Vegas now) 1 - Nashville - Yes, this makes sense. The Rays or Marlins would be better off here. 2 - San Jose - If Manfred thinks A's fans will switch to the Giants he's more out of touch than any of us believed. Tech nerds do like baseball. 3 - Montreal - Still too many economic barriers. With the two most precious resources on the globe being oil and fresh water, Canada should be more of a powerhouse. Put a team in Letterkenny. They'd love to have a baseballs team there. Figger It Oout 4 - Indianapolis. City of freeways. Great location. No Summer competition for a team sport, but The Cubs, White Sox, Cardinals and Reds would block. 5 - New Jersey - Actually the best spot, it has the population and NJ has the highest per capita income in the U.S., but Yankees, Mets, Phillies, Orioles, Nats would fight it and they'd win. Steve Cohen would have an aneurysm 6 - Charlotte or Raleigh - Nothing to block them, but I don't know that they'd care that much about baseball 7 - Salt Lake City - They're making a push to get the NHL there, they'll go for baseball too. 8 - Vancouver - If you feel Western Canada needs representation. 50 - Portland - 81 home games = 81 protests = 81 disruptions. That town is a political nightmare. Everything pisses them off there. My sister, a true liberal, couldn't even stand it anymore it's so extreme. If you're a white person who has a taco truck, they'll shut you down for cultural appropriation. If you're a white person wearing a Bob Marley t-shirt they'll scream at you. You'd be better off looking at San Juan, Monterrey, or even Hawaii or Japan before going to Portland (who have never really even supported a minor league team). If there were absolutely no obstacles at all 1 - New Jersey, 2- Nashville, 3- San Jose 4- Indianapolis, 5- Charlotte, 6- Montreal and who cares after that. -

Awful penalty by Matta. Stuff that gets guys benched.

As am I. I think he'll basically get away with everything.

Actually, his OBP was .395 at AAA last year and is .387 for his minor league career. That seems like a Harris type. This could end up being sneaky-good, but he's probably just insurance in case a couple of guys or two get injured. Do we have a true backup shortstop? Plenty of guys are 2B/3B guys, but they don't seem like SS guys. -

Record label guy "How in the world are you not playing the new Foo Fighters song "The Glass", it's #15 !" Because I already play that record. Over and Over and Over. I have about 9 versions of the same song. The band is in a creative rut. They keep doing the same song. I expect that from a one trick pony like Jack Johnson But Dave Grohl - you're better than that. Come up with something new ! "Show Me How" is a good track, but they won't make it a single (because it slightly breaks the formula?) Same thing with Green Day. The label keeps releasing the same song as the singles (that were once Kinks songs with different lyrics), but there are 2 very good tracks on the album that are a little different. The most exciting stuff is the stuff that is a little different.

Well, I'm sure the real target's offense was death penalty-worthy and Lisa Lopez Galvan should have stayed out of the way of the reasonable response. I still would see this as pretty random unless the two groups previously decided to meet there. Look at someone wrong and they go for their gun. And we still throw non-violent drug users in jail in much of this country. Nobody is safe in this country anywhere anymore. Parades, School, Church, Shopping. I am still shocked that this hasn't happened at ballgame or football game. A lot of stadiums face downtown buildings. Snipers on the roof of sports stadiums. Sad they're needed. But yeah, rah-rah guns. It's just so disgusting.
