Motor City Sonics

I am a fan of indie movies and the kind of movies that don't make a ton of money and don't play at AMC or Emagine. The Main Art in Royal Oak, basic as it was, was the best filmhouse this side of Ann Arbor. It closed. Landlord just kicked 'em out one day and I guess the people who ran the place weren't really given any notice. That's always a class move. If cowardly is class. Developers want to demolish it and make it...............wait for it............"a multi-use facility". You know, stores and apartments that no actual regular working person can really afford. Great, we needed more of those. But the biggest insult of all is they want to keep the marquee. Fuckin' tone deaf, man. I guess there's till the Maple Art........for now. With all this luxury shit going up and house prices going through the roof, what the hell is going to happen to most people? There has to be and end point to all this, right? They are being priced right out of a decent life. Detroit went from a bombed-out slum to a bunch of hoity-toity places where every price is jacked up (the fraud and utter bullshit that is Shinola). Working people haven't really had a chance to experience the new Detroit, and the next time the economy crashes, the rich will flee again and it will go right back to what it was. Championing $15 an hour is fashionable. $15 would have meant something seven or eight years ago when people were asking for it. The way things are going, that would be closer to $20 to $25 an hour now. A lot of people rip on millennials, but they really are getting fucked.

I don't think you could be Stage Gilbert all day, he would have never made 67/

the former trainer of the St. Louis Cardinals, Barry Weinberg, frequented my friend's family bar whenever the A's or Cardinals were in town. He got us tickets to Game 2 of the 2006 World Series. One year he was telling us about Yogi Berra hanging out at Cardinals camp in Spring Training and Yogi told him that he was going to LA to shoot some commercial for Affliction, you know the commercial with that duck...........Barry figured out it was for Aflac. Yogi comes back a few days later and Barry asks "How'd the commercial shoot go". Yogi says "Ah, it was easy, Only had to work for a couple of hours...........you know they got three of dem ducks..........but none of 'em really talk" Every time I heard Gilbert's voice I thought of that story.

I won't post it here because the jokes are so offensive, but look up Gilbert's George Takei roasts. It's a bunch of old gay jokes, but he wasn't doing it to be offensive, he was just........well, you have to find it and watch it to understand. You could tell offensive jokes without being a bigot. Takei laughs his ass off through the whole thing.

You mean Firefighter Chet Kelly from Emergency! ?

Joe Jimenez has lost a lot of weight. Who is going to be our fat reliever now?

They let Ausmus come in to manage for an inning.

it sure would suck to lose another start to fouling off their own foot.

The Tigers are sizing up Rich Hill this first time around. They are going to hammer him later. And Alexander has gotten several non-strikes called as strikes today. I know we benefit, but these home plate umpires continue making the point for robots calling strikes/balls to take over - all on their own.

my mlb tv keeps getting stuck in commercials and I am missing parts of the game. It's infuriating.

Pick The Stick - I'll take Jonathan Schoop today. Batting in that 2 hole, he'll want to make a point. Robbie is the one who should be getting the day off.

Because it plays at a major vulnerability, our freedom to move. I still don't think our drinking water supply is very protected. That's the one that scares me - because by the time it would be discovered..........

I don't know about taking your hottest hitter out of a lineup that ain't hitting. He's 26, does he need a day off on a cool spring day? Maybe vs. a lefty I could see, but Rich "Over The" Hill? Hmmmm. Not a fan of this move. This seems like a dog days of summer move. And I agree on Garneau. I can see why they kept him after the Greene injury, but since they picked up Meadows do they really need 3 catchers?

Do you consider Kurt Vile to be "Americana" He's kind of hard to define.

Vontae Mack, no matter what.

That is a little weird.............

Y'all hear that? We usin' code names.

much needed win..........

Super nice person too. Tim and Phil too.

Let them play out of it. I would get Victor some more ABs though...............

Oh, I am sick today, but my home COVID test just came up negative. So this is just a spring cold. This spring cold IS MAKING ME THIRSTY !

A lot of people here were really down on Manning because his first year was a bit rough. Part of it was having to call him up early due to injuries, but lets remember he was toe-to-toe with Casey a few years ago. The guy is good. Through 6 innings, 67 pitches........not too shabby (compared to our other starters this year). One mistake was a monster shot by JD Martinez...........nothing to be ashamed of there. As Chris Sale

These pretzels................ARE MAKING ME THIRSTY !!!

Bad news. The clouds are getting thicker.............

These pretzels are making me thirsty.
