Motor City Sonics

So after all that, a happy ending.

Saw the meme the other day..............

It's getting harder to watch the game itself, changing game balls, using humidors, the shift, the stupid rules, our team sucking..........tough enough to compete with some much other material out there, but it's worse when you kill yourself, baseball. Manfred is the worst of the four big sports and it's not even close.

Rob Manfred just announced that every player who called Carlton Fisk "Pudge" will be retroactively suspended for fat-shaming, including Fisk himself. Fuck you Tim Anderson, I already hated you but now you made me take sides with Josh Donaldson? There's a difference between someone busting your balls (based on your own proclamation) and someone being racist, but maybe it's just that you can flap your gob at others but can't take it when it's done to you. Now that Brett Gardner's gone, you are #1 now. If the Yankees don't dot you the next time you step to the plate, they are cowards.

They do have racism in Australia, but nowhere near our level, it's not baked-in like it is here and a big part of the gun rights narrative here is based in racism. A big part of all our dysfunction in this country is baked-in racism. The big bad "them" are coming to get you, so you better have a machine gun.......whatever "them" fits the argument of the day.

I guess we have a whole new perspective on the episode title "Plan and Execution" No titles yet available for Ep 8 - 13. Jimmy & Kimmy are horrible people.

For Howard...............

Well, John Ennis is probably on that Bob & David Argyle podcast, so he's fine. Will we see a David Cross cameo in BCS in the last 6. Even a 10 second one (clerk at a gas station, pastor at Howard's service?) Bob and David were both in that movie The Post with Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep -- and it was because Spielberg was a huge Mr. Show fan.

I speculating he was gaslighting.............

No Matt Millen is a GENIUS.............He knew that the Raiders knew he was an idiot and would do the opposite of what he said. You just have to look at this from time and distance. It's like the song Ironic by Alanis Morissette. Nothing she sings in the song is actually ironic. What's ironic about rain on a wedding day or dying the day after you win the lottery. No irony there.................and then, just recently it it me, there is no irony in a song called Ironic and there for THAT is Ironic. Alanis is a genius. She played us all.

Man, only 6 left. That just sucks, man.

No cliffhanger my arse !

There may not be a big cliffhanger tonight (I think he's gaslighting us here), but I am sure the ending will be really good. 1 hour and 34 minutes tonight.

he was not injured when the trade was made. If he had vertigo then, he would not have been hitting .300 and if you take a look. He was hitting .299 going into the Houston series. After Houston he hit .200. He missed 2 games in Houston because he was sick, that's when it happened.

It was a good trade. It was good because after 7 years of being the GM of this team, they didn't have enough outfielders after Riley Greene got hurt. So they needed Meadows and gave up an infielder they didn't need. Meadows was not sick when the season started, and in fact was one of the few guys hitting the ball until the Houston trip, when he got the ear/sinus infection. There was no way anyone could have predicted the guy would suffer from vertigo.

I had vertigo for a short time after a sinus infection. If I stood up too quickly it's like someone turned the room sideways, but only if I got up quickly, if I took a second, took a good luck at the room and oriented myself, I was fine. It really sucked, though. Went away in about 2 weeks.

He seemed fine early on. He got an ear infection in Houston and that did it. He may never play again.

I don't think Lalo goes after Kim or Jimmy. I think Lalo is far more likely to go after Nacho's father, not to hurt Nacho's father, but to draw Mike closer to him. Lalo would believe that they key to getting at Gus is to eliminate Mike. I think Lalo will slow play it all. Crazy as he is, Lalo is very smart and makes moves like a Chess player.

I still find it hard to believe that running through a plywood fence killed Bump Bailey. He didn't even hit head first.

I live in fear.

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).

Faedo belongs here - because even when he doesn't have his good stuff, he's pitching well.

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'

Play anyway. Just as good a chance of the Tigers hitting the ball.
