Motor City Sonics

Debra Winger was supposed to play Dottie Henson (after Demi Moore turned it down). I can't imagine anyone but Gena Davis in that role. Winger quit after Madonna was cast. She thought it wouldn't be a serious movie. But as bad as Madonna can be in some movies, she was terrific in that. And as far as being a Prima Donna, she wasn't like that at all. She trained really hard to get better at baseball, but she did grow up with a few brothers, so so wasn't a total sports novice.

Scene shot at the players entrance at Tiger Stadium......The scene where Maris puts a literal X on the ball and the fan gets mad............when they were asking extras if any of them can speak or sound like a New Yorker, a guy raised his hand and Billy Crystal walked over and said "You think you can sound like a New Yorker, oh yeah, let me hear it." and the guy said "Go f**k yourself, Crystal" and Billy said "Yep, he's the guy". LOL

I just watched the last episode of Adolescence. I need to watch Dumb and Dumber right away just to break even again. Wow, that hit HARD. That was devastating.

Yes. Bull Durham, For Love Of The Game, Field Of Dreams........and there is one more...........partially filmed in Detroit, with WRIF being part of the story (okay, the movie is not ABOUT baseball, but Costner plays a retired baseball player in it).

People can ruin any entertaining movie with that nonsense. Just chill out and enjoy the story (not you, the Realism Police). Yes, Tim Robbins had a HORRIBLE pitching delivery. Robbins grew up playing hockey and basketball

May 4, 2025. DUH !

I want a Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup. I don't care if it's Edmonton, Toronto or Winnipeg. I know a lot of you hate the Leafs. I don't. When the Red Wings were owned by the Norris family and traded good players for not getting haircuts (look it up, it's 100% true), and made stupid moves just to try to break the players union, I turned my back on them and became a Leafs fan. Mostly because Sittler scored 10 points in a game. I watched them every Saturday night on Channel 9. Then the Leafs brass started doing the same stupid **** the Wings owners did. Traded Lanny just to spite Sittler, a near riot broke out at Maple Leaf Gardens that day. I got back into the Wings after Illitch bought them and made moves designed to actually try to win. But I really want Winnipeg to win the whole thing. Because they had their hearts ripped out by the league when they stole their team and moved it to Phoenix (only to see that fail). Because they had a giant portrait of the Queen at their barn. I'm not a fan of the Queen, but it's just so goddamned weird, how can you not love it? Plus, they're the little guy in all of this. Hockey just means more to Canada. I am rooting for Canada these days for other reasons too. 32 years without a Cup. Maybe this is the year.

Wow, I remember getting excited like that in playoff hockey.................BARELY.

DOUBLE BERT + 1

Sorry, the original Bad News Bears

If they score one more run, the get the rare DOUBLE BERT !

Oh my goodness. Fanduel app that I watch through firestick and has a placeholder where they didn't sell commericals COME UP WITH SOME BETTER FREAKING MUSIC. IT'S AWFUL YOU CAN'T FILL WITH PROMOS OR PSAs ?

The smattering of people applauding Reese as he came off the field. Made me think of this..........

Talking about the Texas series. HEY, don't snooze on the Rockies. They suck, but it's the kind of thing where you can't figure out how you lost 2 out of 3 to that awful team. Reese, great day. But he's gassed.

Man, I needed a great game for the Tigers. It is such a dreary Sunday in Detroit today. Just awful. I overdid my yard work yesterday because I knew this rain was coming. I worked so hard (because it was cool out) that I made myself sick (took too much Kratom too). But hey, the yard looks grea..........well, the yard looks way less crappy today. But today in the D, Bert...........It's that cool dampness that permeates everything. It goes right through you. When does Reese Olson graduate high school?

Welp, I fully expect Torres on the IL tomorrow.

HBP right after a HR and no warning? That's interesting. Though I don't think he was trying to hit him.

I like the no home-run celebration. Save the celebrations for Rocktober

BERT + 2

One base hit away from Bert !

Hey, they have Neto and we have Nido !!!!!

that's amazing how they can make that pithing box just float there. Even with that the umps can't get balls & strikes half the time. But it just floats man. What if the ball hits the edge of it, how does it not fall to the ground?

We're one away from Bert.

Angels up 1-0. Right where we want 'em !
