Motor City Sonics

Well, Charlie was already on very thin ice when he did it, plus Paul's f-bomb was an accident and Charlie was deliberate. I remember watching that live, too, I was probably about 15 or 16. Who Shot C.R.? From stuff that I read the writers, cast and crew weren't going to miss him and he kind of wanted to get fired. He thought he was going to be bigger than he was (like David Caruso and Shelly Long). I seem to remember him only in 3 other things, the bad guy in Dumb & Dumber, playing an actor on a episode of Thirtysomething (Elliott directing him in a commercial and doing about 40 takes) and he was also in a Tom Petty video. A very bad miscalculation on his part and a very tragic ending.

Were you watching the Saturday Breaking Bad marathon? That sucked me right in too, even though I had seen it. It had to do with the time of day. That moment in BCS was happening just after 10pm and there is something called "Safe Harbor" between 10pm and 4am. I could say the f word on the radio between those hours and not get fined by the FCC (though my employer would probably fire me). But AMC is cable and they don't have to follow the same rules. When IFC runs movies they run the whole movie, nothing is censored, no matter the time of day. I know you weren't complaining and the first time you realize it, it is a little startling. I remember when Anthony Edwards said SHIT! on ER. I mean, he's dying of a brain tumor and falls out of bed and smacks the floor and says "SHIT!". I doubt it rattles anyone. When "Little Lion Man" by Mumford & Sons first came out I put it in our station's computer for New Music Monday. I scheduled it in the 9am hour. I accidentally added the ALBUM version. "but it was your heart on the line, I really fucked it up this time". They say the word 12 times in the song. I heard it on my way into work, the DJ was probably doing other things and had it turned down because the whole song played.............I thought I was going to get fired that day, but nobody said anything, nobody complained. Statute has come and gone at this point. I got away with it. When I was working in Albuquerque I was doing a live break from a bar and accidentally said "shit", but it was 12:30am and the station owner knew it but thought it was funny. He said "Least of my problems".

A couple times a season they'd drop one. "My name is ASAC Shrader and you can go f*** yourself" Jesse said it to the Nazi's when he tried to escape...... On the TV show Fargo there were several F-bombs in the season with Ewen McGregor. Hey, it's not a show for kids. With all the violence on that show if a parent is letting their kids watch, then an f-bomb is really tame actually - and besides, kid over the age of 11 or 12 are saying that to each other anyway.

BCS....................WOW

I think he's done in the NBA after this. Maybe he ends up on a team that's mediocre and has no pressure to succeed, but he simply doesn't want it and if I owned a team, I would stay away from him. No other player is every going to respect him. He should just go back to Australia and get away from all of this. Hopefully he still has most of his money, but if he doesn't, he's not only soft, he's an idiot.

He had ex-Bear Steve McMichael thrown out of Wrigley over a joke. "I'll speak with that home plate umpire after the game" just before he sang in the 7th inning stretch. He's a loser and he is seemingly there for life. I don't understand it. I don't have the energy (I'm old) to look it up, but has MLB ever fired an umpire for being terrible. I know some have been canned for behavioral issues off the field, but how about for being bad.

What about Rickey Henderson, the way he would crouch down.........and of course, Rickey has the most walks in MLB history, right? (if you eliminate all the times Barry Bonds was intentionally walked (688)

With a robot ump, would players have to pose with their stance for measurements or will it be based on their reported height. You can't have an equal vertical strike zone for players who are 6'5" and 5'10". The plate width is not debatable.

77%..............WOW. Does he have to take a shit and can't wait and has to get the game over quickly?

I think about the time he tossed Ian Kinsler out for looking at him wrong.

I have a theory on why Angel Hernandez still even has a job. He sued because he wasn't getting postseason assignments (those typically go to the highest-rated umpires according to players, and Angel was usually the lowest or in the bottom 2 with C.B. Bucknor). He sued based on a claim that he wasn't getting the gigs because he's Cuban. You know, I know and even Angel knows that's ridiculous, but I think Angel may have felt he was about to be forced out and now he filed the lawsuit (even though it got thrown out) it would look like a punitive firing by MLB, therefore they keep him. I love how they finally gave him a postseason gig and in one game he was overturned on 3 out of 4 challenges. Why does it seem like umpires are like Supreme Court Justices and they are there for life? I love these stats on Umps now........does MLB measure stats - and if they do, can they FINALLY get rid of this bastard? He's not old enough to force into retirement yet, but something has to be done. This guy's a clown.

fuckin' cigarettes, man. glad I hated them so much as a kid that I never tried them as an adult. 70's not that old. Dude was such a legend.

That's who he reminds me of. Maybe not as good, but similar. Carlton gave up a lot of home runs too, he might be close to the Top 10 of All-Time

Today has a huge potential to get ugly in New York. So the announcement needs to be made and MLB needs to make sure the fans know that if one thing, just one thing, gets thrown on the field today, it's a forfeit.

It's rare, but there have been 7, 8 run comebacks..........sometimes even more. Remember Brian Dozier whining that an Oriole player bunted to get on base when the Twins were up 7-0? This was not a no-hitter, it was just a shutout. Hated him ever since that.

If Reyes hadn't gone to the injured list I think Baddoo would have gone to Toledo when Hill got activated.

tomorrow my lineup might look like.... Grossman, rf Torkelson, 1b Baez, ss Meadows, lf Schoop, 2b Haase, dh HCastro, 3b Barnhart, c Baddoo, cf Miggy finally gets a day off. Candy needs a day off. Torkelson deserves a key slot

The Austin Meadows trade is Avila's best............by far.

HERE COMES HITTIN' HAROLD !

Damn, only 150 feet short..........

Here comes his first home run as a Tiger.

it'll come.

Stay focus.........keep challenging.

A mature pitcher knows they'll get tagged sometimes...........just keep pitching, man.
