Motor City Sonics

I don't want to have to rely on the Los Angeles Angels for help. I want us to win this on the field and I have a question if we close this out now TWO DOWN !

Vest threw that one right down the middle for that first strike. Yikes

Wow, easy first out. Runner didn't even try to run. I would not be happy to see that as the skipper of the Red Sox.

Wow. Boston, please rethink those city connects for next year. That is a hideous uniform - looks like little league. Oh my god, Vest. Have someone warming up immediately, please

Javy is just gonna swing at everything

Come on here. Come on Javy, you have feasted on this team this year. Keep it going. We need more.

And Lucy's gonna hold down that football this time, Charlie Brown. She swears she will

1 run is not enough for the bottom of the 9th. I don't feel good about this. This team has given me PTBSD (Post-Traumatic Blown Save Disorder)

They're gonna make us sweat this, aren't they? They just can't make it easy.

Oh my gosh. Migration days shouldn't be game days. I need you magnificent bastards now. You are my support system. Okay three things 1. The Red Sox are locked into their playoff position. No going up or down here 2. The Red Sox might be hungover 3. The Red Sox HATE The Astros Tigers, if you can't bring it tonight - you don't deserve it.

Come on Angels

What I think will happen...........realistically Cleveland wins 2 of 3 Boston wins 2 of 3 Houston wins 2 of 3 If that happens it's Cleveland 88-74 Boston 89-73 Detroit 87-75 Houston 87-75 1- Toronto 2 - Seattle 3 - Cleveland 4 - New York 5 - Boston 6 - Detroit - We go right back to Cleveland with revenge in our hearts. I just don't expect much help from the Rangers or Angels this weekend. My preseason prediction was that we would not get a 90-game winner in the AL, but we'd have about 8 teams bunched together. I was fairly close, as nobody really dominated and we have 7 teams and right now of those 7 the best record is 91 wins and the 7th has 85 wins. Only 6 games apart. "I really think the American League is a toss up between about 8 teams. An injury here, a surprise story there. Every race goes down the last weekend, except the NL West."

You know that he works with children with cancer and started a foundation to help families deal with sick children, right? No, I'm just kidding, he's an asshole, **** him.

The simple thing is this. Win 2 out of 3 this weekend and then it doesn't matter what anyone else does, right? If we win 2 out of 3 and Houston sweeps then Detroit/Boston/Houston are all a 88 - it's #5 Detroit (Currently 3-0 Head-To-Head with Boston and 4-2 vs. Houston) #6 Boston #7 Houston Win 1 out of 3 and you need the LA Angels to just take one game Get swept by Boston and you need the LA Angels to win two games. Right? This sucks, I wanted to be relaxed at this point. Can I have this dream happen. Tigers win tonight and tomorrow while Cleveland loses tonight and tomorrow, thus clinching the division by Sunday and not needing to use Skubal until game 1 of whatever. Just please, don't let it be the Yankees vs. the Dodgers again in the World Series. I think I can handle just about anything else. If it can't be us, I'm rooting for the Mariners or the Brewers..........for the "small market" teams.

I never thought I'd see this again.

Well, first you have to actually want to play. This team hasn't looked like that the last couple of nights. They look like a baseball diamond is the last place they want to be. They've checked out.

The Tigers were in first place all year until today. The Colorado Rockies outdraw the Tigers. That's pretty sad. The other teams that the Rockies outdraw are mostly teams that really weren't contending. That's pretty bad. The Atlanta Braves sucked all year (except when they played the Tigers) and they outdrew the Tigers by 6,000 a night. I would say the Red Wings will be interesting until about February, be in the conversation for the playoffs - and then they'll come back from the Olympic break, suck, and Yzerman won't make a major move and then drift aimlessly into the offseason (after missing the playoffs, of course) and we'll have the same conversation about them next year. The Pistons are a true wildcard because now there are expectations, something they haven't dealt with in a decade. But nobody will really care because the NBA is more of a marketing scheme than a sport now. I think the only way to get a fanbase to truly connect with the Pistons is they have to get to the final four. The last decade the Pistons were really good at one thing - getting a once-excited fanbase to be apathetic, which is worse than being angry, like Tigers fans are now. It's all about the Lions. Stay healthy, fellas. If they stay healthy, I don't see any reason they shouldn't be in the NFC Championship at the very least.

Harris will do none of that. He showed you that this year. I don't believe the Bregman stuff at all. I think it was only used to leverage the Red Sox into spending. Harris is just like Yzerman. Neither one will ever make a bold move. Everyone raving about the Wings getting John Gibson. Folks, he's just an okay goalie. A better one that we had but that's because Yzerman can't find a goalie to save his life. Harris is the same way. Get ready for more Canhas and Cobbs. Torres was a nice signing for a year (until he took September off), but you need more than that. Nice farm system. Who cares? Didn't we hear that about Randy Smith at one point too?

Let Skubal walk. Why spend for what he's done in the past? Give him 50 million a year after he's peaked? Nope. Remember the last 5 years of Miggy?

This idea that the Tigers could contend next year is nonsense. They're completely broken now. They'll never get this stench off of them 1964 Phillies - never did anything again 1969 Cubs - never did anything again 1978 Red Sox - totally different team by the mid 80s 1987 Blue Jays - Took them years to recover Nope, this team is finished - Might as well trade off the core pieces and get more prospects because this is a team of losers, and I don't want them around anymore. Nice stats, guys. Yeah, Stats ! Riley Greene, Nice player, sure, but he's a loser. Spencer Torkelson, loser, Kerry Carpenter, loser. Get rid of them all. Rebuild. Hope the next batch, the 2027/28 batch has more guts then this bunch does. And Hinch? Yeah, nice little run for about 9 months, but he's cooked too. Might have been more lucky than good.

If you have never seen the 1976 film Network - you might want to check it out. So perfectly predicted television news' future. I mean NAILED it.

Okay Piers, let me know when Kimmel and his pals hack into a dead 13 year old girl's phone mailbox making her family believe she's checking her messages. When Jimmy does that, come back and see me, you ghoul.

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise teams at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good teams, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild teams who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave teams, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my Tigers, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Lincoln Riley? Bobby Petrino's available. (He always is)
