Motor City Sonics

And look at that smile. Good Girl !

Wow, look at that stadium. How sad.

By the way, is everything alright with Dan Dickerson?

Oh, not ripping him. He just sounds a little forced, but I am sure Dan did at the beginning too. Yes, he would be a far cry from the snoozefest on TV.

I am not going to rip on the guy because he's trying his best. He sounds a little forced, but when you hear someone else do Tigers Play-By-Play it makes you realize just how freaking good Dan Dickerson really is. Doug Fister on color commentary.............they've had better.

Holy crap, we beat the A's. We never beat the A's. And Zack Short is back?

Oh yeah..........drafting for MLB is much more of a crap-shoot and it's a 4-5 years down the road thing. For the NFL you draft players that should be helping you immediately meaning that you should be able to recognize talent easier. Just look at the 2nd round of the NFL draft through the years. 2nd round players are supposed to be starters that contribute...........the biggest consistent failure of the Lions over the years.

Can't use the Sticky Stuff anymore?

Saw Yahoo Sports Teams Overachievers and Underachievers Over Yankees - Yeah, way over Orioles - If they weren't in that division, they'd be thinking playoffs Mariners - 14 in a row will do that Mets - I find this strange, We expected them to be really good Twins - Yo Yo Team. Up, Down, Up, Down...........next year they'll stink again. Under Angels - Not to me, I knew they'd suck. they always suck Reds - Under? They've been tanking, how are they under? White Sox - Yeah, I get this. Jerry, stop hiring buddies to manage the team Royals - I don't know anyone that expect anything from them Nationals - They keep getting rid of good players, team should be folded So the Tigers don't make the Under list and it shows how full of shit we all were with our expectations. They weren't realistic and we're all blinded by loyalty to our favorite team, which is run by a jackass owner and clueless GM. -OR-. The Tigers just don't matter nationally, which is worse. I think Juan Soto is headed to the Dodgers. They have all the money in the world to spend AND they have a boatload of prospects every year. Can we hire their Assistant GM please? Jeffrey Kingston or Alex Slater or maybe their Scouting Director David Finley?

St. Brown can dead lift almost 600 lbs.

Watched the episode again and everybody we root for won. But they are all hollow victories. What exactly did they win? Gustavo can't be who he really is. All those people surrounding him but he is totally alone and can only trust people that he pays (and even that's iffy). He could never get together with David. His true persona might come out or David could end up a casualty. He has to be guarded at all times. Everything in his life is a lie. Sitting on a mountain of money for what? Mike - this honorable criminal thing...............Nacho's dad set him straight, "you gangsters are all the same". In two sentences he quietly and poetically put Mike in his place. Yeah Mike, a good criminal............fuck you, you're a scumbag. We just like you because you're OUR scumbag. Oh, you're not as twisted as the Salamancas..........well, neither was the Manson Family. Mike doesn't speak Spanish but he got the message loud and clear. No victory there - just sitting at home in the dark drinking his Pabst Blue Ribbon, a sell out as a cop and now a sell out as a crook. No honor in that. Kim - Flew too close to the Sun because it was "fun". Orchestrated ruining a man's reputation and going so far as to flat-out lie to his grieving wife. That's what broke Kim. She didn't just destroy Howard, she destroyed Howard's family, friends and the law firm where her friends work, a place where she would have been a partner in 10-15 years. Destroyed the man that paid for her education because he punished her a little bit. Jimmy - The timeline jump............surrounding himself with tacky opulence to make up for his sad life as Saul Goodman. Going full Saul, with a prostitute in his rotating bed, his gold toilet, his comb-over and NutriGrain bars. Yeah, people screwed you Jimmy, you deserved better from Chuck & Howard, but you destroy everything and this pathetic existence is all that's left. Chimp with a machine gun. It was a very sad episode. And a very very interesting trailer for the next episode with Saul sounding like a carnival barker making a bad cable commercial. Theory is that audio is from the Gene timeline - a store at the mall where Gene works - he gets on the PA and causes some kind of stir as people rush to get free things - maybe trying to draw attention away from something he's going to do. I just love the way they frame thing, no idea what's really coming.

"Slippin' Jimmy with a law degree is like a chimp with a machine gun." Chuck might have been a dick, but he was 100% right.

This version of this song popped in my head today.

This song randomly jumped in my brain today after years of not hearing it..............I think the lawyers in love that are Slippin' Jimmy and Quittin' Kimmy probably was responsible.

Oh, and we ain't done with Kim. She might not be in the next eppy or two, but we ain't done with her.

Yep, Tuco is getting out of jail and he's making some kind of threat towards Saul and that's why when Walt & Jessie kidnap him he freaks out. I can see Tuco getting out and immediately messing with Gus. I am surprised Hector didn't go after Nacho's father just out of being an evil prick. I think we get 2 episodes in the BB timeline and 2 episodes with Gene, where Gene is going to set something straight for Kim and that'll get him killed or caught. That poster with Gene putting on the red coat is there for a reason. Nice breakfast bar.

Seriously, they've had chance after chance after chance to be part of this. They make perfect sense geographically. They make perfect sense academically, They make perfect sense rivalry-wise. But no, they're soooooooooooo special. Well fine, go be special somewhere else. Oh, and I know he's gone (and he'll bomb at LSU), but Brian Kelly killed a kid. Have fun playing whomever you're playing. UCLA, USC, Stanford, Cal, Washington, Utah, Oregon and probably a team or two from Texas are coming Big Ten East Maryland-Rutgers-Penn State-Pitt-Ohio State-Michigan-Michigan State-Indiana-Purdue-Wisconsin-Northwestern-Illinois Big Ten West USC-UCLA-Oregon-Washington-Utah-Stanford-Cal-Texas Tech-Baylor-Iowa-Nebraska-Minnesota Something like that.

By the way, watching a couple of videos this morning - we are not quite in the Breaking Bad timeline yet. His license plate sticker had NOV 05, so it looks like we jumped about a year and a half. Still 3 years away from BB.

No, Notre Dame will refuse just to avoid admitting they were wrong. Let 'em rot. Besides, I think there is a decent chance that we end up with a 24-team Big Ten with Stanford and Cal as part of the Western Division. I'll quote Bo on this one "To Hell with Notre Dame"

By the way, it the time skip when he is getting ready for work he mentions "another public masterbater"...........Remember, he thought that's why Badger was arrested............so we just jumped to the day he met "Mr. Mayhew". But he's not wearing the same thing and that is not a detail that would be overlooked by Vince & Peter. Walt & Jessie should be in the next episode. Dedicated to Julia Clark Downs....................looked her up, she was a legal technical advisor on the show. She was killed in car accident last fall.

if what we're being told is true, if I was a GM I wouldn't touch EROD with a 39 1/2 foot pole

what a shame.................

..........and there's your time jump...........

And the unravelling of Kim Wexler begins....................................

One thing I did is went to google maps and found Ampuis in France.
