I don't know how you don't keep Melton in the rotation at this point. Of course they have to limit his innings, but he should remain in the rotation until he shows he's not capable. Better than some of the other dreck they are trying. Charlie Morton's done. Carlie's a high-paid janitor at this point. Minding his mop............

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I see that Carpetner left the game. Did he get hurt?

Yep YOU made it rain today. That was YOUR fault.

But the field is in shyte condition.

Delay? This ain't no delay. This is a Wednesday Doubleheader.

League Average .246/.316/.403/.719 Colt Keith .261/.344/.414/.758. TAKE THAT, JERK FACE POOPY HEAD !

Quit yer whinin'. Everything is fine in Chicago. They'll get this game in

No, YOU are super nasty. Grand Rapids is fine. You must have been in Grand Rapids and YOU made it super nasty. (I'm not really meaning anything I say, I just want to start a stupid anonymous internet fight for no reason).

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US.

Maybe it's owners thinking "You know, if one of 'em gets hit, that's millions off the payroll.........plus think of all the sympathy merch that'll sell". Yeah, I am that cynical about those bastards.

Okay, guess we'll confirm it.

Man, that's as close as it gets. The Vern Rhule catch in the 1980 playoffs Lou Brock at home plate in Game 5 '68.

Wait, he was safe..............

Don't blame the Angels for being pissed of there. Horrible call. Ump has to pee.

If he makes the team (he probably will) it will make DCs think a lot, won't it? So it may not have counted today, but it's in the back of everyone's mind. Knew this would eventually happen. Oh, and he slipped a little, too

Greene just getting a sort-of day off today, hopefully. If it's a close game, he'll play at some point.

I was at that Reggie Brown game. From the deafening cheer when Barry ran for 53 right after breaking the 2,000 yard mark to the silence in the place when Reggie was down. That was the most intense Lions game I ever went to.

The thing with Norris is that his head snapped back when his facemask hit the leg of the RB. That's actually a good thing in this kind of scenario. If it had been the top of his head that hit like that, it would be a much scarier situation. You are supposed to tackle with your face facing the target and not the top of your head. If you look at just about every serious spinal injury in football, you will see that these guys were leading with the top of their head, with the crown of their head. That compresses the spine directly down upon itself and that energy has no where to go, so you end up with broken necks and spinal injuries. His head snapping back from a facing position, the energy disperses. Now, it's a serious concussion, no doubt about that and he might not play again, but I think he will. I took a lot of heat online when I suggested on another board that Ryan Shazier's injury was his own fault because he did the one thing they tell these guys not to do - lead with the crown of your head. Not that I don't sympathize with Shazier and his career ending, but it was 100% his fault. These coaches tell these guys over and over and over not to do this. Your target gets broken ribs and you could end up in a chair Mike Utley fell in an awkward way onto the top of his head. Reggie Brown was engaging in a tackle when someone fell into him in that position, he wasn't targeting a guy like that.

Wow, the date on that Lou Christie video. May 17, 1974. That was the day that 3 car bombs went off in about 5 minutes in Dublin and then one in Monaghan about 90 minutes later. The Monaghan bombing was about 7-10 miles from the border of the North and it's believed it was meant to draw attention away from the border so the bombers could get back to the North. A very very dark day. The worst day of The Troubles.

I was at the only Michigan game in history to be ended early. Brady Hoke's first game vs. Western Michigan. It was extremely hot that day. I was sitting about 3 rows from the top. Then the clouds built up and a driving rain started and it was a very hard, sideways rain. Got soaked. It felt great. They took the players off the field for about 40 minutes because there was lightning within a certain distance, even though at the at point with about half the people gone, I was at the top and looking over the horizon and did not see it. The players came back. The game continued but then we saw more weather coming from our vantage point. Saw the lightning this time, and plenty of it - way off in the distance. The rain started again. Sideways again, but from the other direction. Me and the guys I was with we thought about the fact that we are at the top of a large metal bowl with a bunch of antennas all around............might be time to leave. They would up pulling the players again and then decided to call it early just before the end of the 3rd quarter (they were showing radar on the scoreboard and it was a train of storms). Michigan was up big anyway. Then had to take the shuttle back, soaking wet, with the a/c on the bus on high. Freezing the whole way. I think I got lucky there. I don't f with lightning either. Let them make fun of you. You can go to their funerals and give them a big raspberry. There's always a song.......

I don't think so either. So he has a big year. He'll have a few more big years, but I don't know what he is when he loses a step and I feel like that'll happen quickly. He also feels like a guy who might, just might, do something stupid to derail his career. St. Brown and Monty are the guy you ride with long term. The Chiefs survived losing Hill, the Lions can survive losing Williams. They may have made another draft steal with TeSlaa anyway. Those elite speed guys are great, but that elite speed does not last that long and you can find others.
