  1. I still find it hard to believe that running through a plywood fence killed Bump Bailey. He didn't even hit head first.
  2. My mom actually dated Reno Bertoia for a short time. I was 15. He showed me his 1968 World Series ring (he was a scout for the Tigers at that point). He was kind of a dour guy. He could cook pretty well, though. (I am kind of a dour guy myself these days...you know, with the self-hatred and all).
  3. Faedo belongs here - because even when he doesn't have his good stuff, he's pitching well.
  4. oh man, everybody knew that. My 81 year old mom heard me talk about Alex Faedo and she asked "Is he related to Lenny Faedo?"..............you're slippin'
  5. Play anyway. Just as good a chance of the Tigers hitting the ball.
  6. There are cameras everywhere at ballparks. I am sure that they can figure out who is throwing things onto the field. Happened in the Giants-Padres game yesterday in SF when fans were throwing things (including plastic bottles & baseballs) at Jurickson Profar of the Padres. Make the announcement during the game and publicize it in the local media. If it happens again, we'll be able to see who is doing it, and you will be banned for life from the park - not only that, but if you do it again, alcohol sales will be banned for the entire outfield sections, as well as the kiosks near those sections and you'll have to walk to the other side of the stadium to get your $16 beer. Then outfield netting will be put up in front of the offending section - and your name will be publicized and you will be given full credit for the changes. If you think that's worth becoming famous, understand, that people will hate you and harass you constantly. Nothing sadder than watching home run balls get caught in a net instead of into the fans. I understand why they have it in Toledo (don't want a car to get hit), but at a Major League park it would be embarrassing. Fan behavior in sports has gotten totally out of hand. It's always just a small group of people doing it, but it ruins it for everyone and drastic changes will have to be made. Another indication that our society is falling completely apart. I don't go to NFL games anyone because watching at home is a much better experience. Last game I went to at Ford Field several fights broke out. Morons. ADWB Angry Drunk White Boys - angry about what? If you can afford an NFL ticket, you're doing alright. If I see someone throw a battery or bottle onto the field at a baseball game, you can bet I'm snitching on them.
  7. They need to call up Kody Clemens. They need a spark and maybe it won't be him, but they need to give him a shot. He can play RF-LF-2B-3B-1B. But they probably can't afford to send any of their 14 pitchers down since they'll likely have to use "openers" in TWO slots now. What a mess. Frankly, if Schoop doesn't start showing something consistently, just cut your losses and give the rookie a shot. Even though Schoop has gotten some hits here and there, he's hitting .205 in the last 10 games and that has raised his average to .157. How much longer do we sink with him. Even if Kody is not an answer, we're better off with The Castros at 2b.
  8. Tim called himself the next Jackie Robinson (sure Tim, you have that kind of pressure on your shoulders, sure). So he shouldn't be shocked if it's thrown back at him.
  9. If you rip Tim Anderson you're racist though.
  10. So Tim Anderson calls himself Jackie Robinson Then Josh Donaldson mocks him by calling him "Jackie" Is that racist? Anderson opened the door to that. Oh, I forgot, Anderson is an asshole..........
  11. All the playlists for Under The Radar Radio & Sonic Bliss are listed here Heard in Grand Rapids (94.5), Ann Arbor (107.1) at 7pm (UTR) and 9pm (Sonic Bliss) every Sunday. (We're on in Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, New Zealand at other times too). http://www.mcsonics.com UTRR Pick Of The Week for 5/22 is Belle And Sebastian's "A Bit Of Previous" and this week's show will feature all newer music including new tunes from The Afghan Whigs, Fontaines DC, Built To Spill, The Smile, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Ty Segall and the new project from Cocteau Twins singer Liz Fraser, Sun's Signature.
  12. This song has been stuck in my head all day and I have not heard it in years and I HATE this song, but it's was in my brain for some reason today. What causes this? What triggered this? Why would a song from 37 years ago, that I probably haven't heard in 35 years suddenly pop into my brain?
  13. Before the final episodes of Breaking Bad, AMC ran this promo and it's the best TV promo I've ever seen and it told the story of Walter White so perfectly.............I don't know what Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould are doing after Saul, but I'm in.
  14. We've used 23 pitcher this year, 10 different starters.
  15. I can imagine it now..............Al calls Chris from a phone booth outside the Air Line Diner to ask how the contract talks with AJ Hinch went and "Ah, we had a problem............and we tried everything we could" "Whaddaya mean?" "You know what I mean, he's gone" "Wait" "He's gone and there wasn't nothin' we could do about it, he's gone.........that's that"
  16. Does it make me a bad person because when I see/read stories about big cities that were built in deserts are starting to freak out because they are running out of water sources doesn't bother me? What did you think would happen?
  17. So we don't know the extent of Skubal's injury yet? Gotta be career threatening because it happened this year, right?
  18. They needed to sign free agents because the guy in charge since 2015 can't produce viable position players unless he drafts 1st overall
  19. in other words he's one of their hottest hitters..............
  20. The skinny on on Skubal is that it's a bone bruise on his leg, but when he threw his glove on the dugout floor he tore his rotator cuff.
  21. Make a spot for Kody Clemens. He can play corner OF. They need to try any kind of spark, even if it's a 3 game spark. Anything
  22. He'll get hit by a rogue tire on the way.
  23. The injuries are going to save Al's job, when it's really the offense that's been the problem. He's the new Millen.
