Motor City Sonics

Every year there is a worst-to-first team. Last year the Bengals went all the way to the Super Bowl (I told you they'd be better than we thought, but had no idea it would go that far). My Power Rankings for this year's worst-to-first sweepstakes #8 - Seattle - Drew Lock? Geno Smith? Um, no #7 - NY Jets - They had a great draft, but sorry, not with Buffalo in that division #6 - Jacksonville - They'll be better but not worst-to-first with the Colts and Titans in that division #5 - Carolina - Still don't have a solid QB, but there is always a shot if they stay healthy. Maybe Brady suddenly gets old or Todd Bowles doesn't click as head coach, maybe the Saintws are the Aints again, maybe Atlanta will run out of luck. #4 - Detroit - I still think Green Bay has a stranglehold on the division, for at least one more year #3 - NY Giants - I think the Lions are better than the Giants are good, but I don't think the NFC East is very good either and the division has a history of surprising us #2 - Denver - It's a monster division but Russell Wilson is a game-changer and has plenty of weapons #1 - Baltimore - By a mile. The difference between first and last in the AFC North was 2 games.

I don't think Kim dies and it is possible the Lalo is actually alive. Just because she isn't in Breaking Bad doesn't mean she's dead. We just never see Saul Goodman's life away from the BB storylines. We never see his home. They have really done the shocking death of three main characters already. I think there is a very good chance that Kim has used Ed the Vacuum Cleaner guy, but she could be in Witness Protection and she could be in jail. Remember the flash forward scene in BCS where a phone call was expected at 3pm (once a year) and Saul ask Francesca to make it because he had to skedaddle. I think that call is Kim. We do know that Gene appears as the poster shows Gene putting on a red suit jacket. Gene is black and white, Saul is colorful. He is going back to ABQ for something. Maybe to settle a score. Maybe Lalo IS still out there and Gene is going to kill him. I don't know but I think the series probably ends with Gene and as soon as that jacket goes on the whole scene will turn to color. I know, whatever it is, it won't disappoint. I will be sad to see this amazing show go. I've never seen two shows with such attention to detail and incredible continuity and editing. Not even The Sopranos.

Hey you guys....................I like this inning. Don't you? This inning is good. Good inning. Curly Fries.........

The Castros are not going to go quietly.

What's next a Graduation? A Farmer's Market? Very disappointed in HuffPost. You chose the Depp verdict as your headline over another mass shooting. Shameful

Now it's Tulsa's turn...........Who had Tulsa in the betting pool?

Arming teachers..........Are you going to teach them martial arts too because giving a weapon to a teacher, you are bringing more weapons into school and honestly I don't think it would be too difficult for a raging teenager to overpower a typical teacher. Having cops or vets in the halls of schools is a much better option, but you'd better make sure they've been mentally screened. Schools are going to end up looking like prisons. That's a wonderful lesson.

So it wasn't just pissed off Tigers fans https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/umpire-hunter-wendelstedt-missed-call-video-strikeout-tigers-twins-mlb-fans-reaction

Spencer Turnbull Kyle Funkhouser Jose Cisnero Casey Mize Tyler Alexander Matt Manning Michael Pineda Eduardo Rodriguez Will Vest Joey Wentz That's almost a full MLB pitching staff of guys injured all at the same time.

Yes but the neckbone's connected to the shoulder bone and the shoulder bone's connected to the back bone and the back bone's connected to my WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON BONE !!!!!!!!!

Sorry if I am not buying that.

He was deflecting by talking about players missing time in the pandemic year and missing time during the lockout and how it affected them. I think that's B.S. because more teams would be having serious issues and they are not. This seems to be a Tigers problem.

"Something didn't look right after that last pitch" sounds pretty scary to me. I mean, come on man. This just isn't fair anymore. You HAVE to ask what's going on with their training. You just have to at this point. Nobody's luck is this bad.

Calling B.S. on this, why isn't every other team having such serious issues?

It probably cost him half a step on a very close play.

Wait, what happened to Joey Wentz?

Hey Daz, your helmet is allowed to come off...............

20 years ago today

Our infield is hitting .193, .203, .211 and .000 I mean .000 ? Come on man !

This risotto is schmakin', Dude.

And we might see Turnbull in September this year. Maybe. Long way to go, but it seems like, right now, at best, the recovery time is at least 14/15 months. If Casey Mize has to recover I'd rather see him start that process next August and September and then be back at full strength for '24. Wait too long and he's missing half of '24 too. There is a little evidence that TJ surgery on the younger guys can add a little velo. He didn't look right from the start this year. Goddamned owners and their fucking 2-week Spring Training.

I'm not trying to slam on you Randy Marsh, I mean, you've got Tegridy, but I just don't trust this team's development or medical assessment of players anymore. I just feel like they can't get out of their own way and they are going to nick this and we'll get to a point where we flirt with .500 and that's it - back to a new rebuild. I just want them to clean house. The GM, the scouts, the staff, the trainers, all of it.

I mean, why risk it for this year? This year is lost. My fear is that he comes back for a handful of starts and does more damage and then he's not even starting his comeback until the spring of 2024. Think Fidrych in '77.

And for me that would be worse than going ahead and doing what we all pretty much know needs to be done. Hey, we've always got 2024. What's a couple more years of an Al Avila rebuild? 1988-2005 all over again.
