  1. It's strange, though. I almost feels like they did get generational talent in Cade THIS year. The combination of bad teams, injuries and coaches stifling his development meant we didn't get to see the real Cade until this year. And man, he erased any doubts about being a 1/1. Another thing to remember is that Jaden Ivey was having a very good year and they lost him and now they've won 3 in a row without Cade and without Tobias last night, who's been a veteran stabilizer. The Dennis Schroder add has been quietly great. They are absolutely a story and right now, if things lock in like they are, it's Pistons vs. Pacers. Two teams that hate each other. This might be the best Grudge playoff series we've had since the Wings heyday. I know they didn't beat the Pacers this year, but the team now is not the same team from earlier in the year. Plus, the kind of excitement that's building with the team and around Cade might mean they attract some decent talent in the offseason. They have plenty of space to sign their guys and add more. Cade is now a guy that other players want to come play alongside. I mean, they are resting him, over a bruise, and they are still winning. What a story this year. I don't know how they do in a 7 game series against the big 3 (Boston, Cleveland and New York), but they have beaten all 3 this year. Can any other team claim that? (I'm not doing a deep dive like that, but with Cleveland and Boston having so few losses, I have doubts)
  2. There shouldn't even be an argument, J.B. Bickerkstaff is Coach Of The Year. Sorry, OKC
  3. Does anyone here have an electric car? What are your thoughts? How long does it take to charge your car? When do you charge it? Overnight? (I hear it costs less to charge it overnight). On a longer road trip when you have to find a charging station, how long does that take? On a road trip, how much would it cost for a full charge? How many miles do you get on a full charge? How much does it cost you per month to charge at home? Is it more, less or as expensive as your last combustion engine car? Do you like the way it rides? Does it have giddy up? Are you glad you got it? Just interested. Not looking to get a new car soon, but I think I am going electric with the next one. The city of Ann Arbor has some Bolts and they are not super expensive. Let me explain something about what I am looking for. I don't care if someone has a nicer car than I do. Most people have a nicer car than I do. Some folks I know say "Don't you want something newer, something better?". No. I don't. My car is 10 years old with a few little scars (but not that bad for it's age). It's a Chrysler 200. Cars are not an ego thing with me. I want something reliable and affordable with heat/ac and a working radio/mp3 player. I won't buy a Tesla - for obvious reasons. If I was rich and money was new option, I wouldn't get a sports car, I'd get an electric VW Micro Bus. I'd live in it while I traveled to every ballpark in the country on an epic journey But for now, I drive from Dearborn to Ann Arbor and back 5 days a week and run some errands. Maybe 350 - 400 miles per week. Thanks, I appreciate your input.
  4. Dear Tarik, Don't injure your arm or shoulder throwing your glove in the dugout.
  5. That might be #1 on the play of the day.
  6. What a play and the announcer has no idea what's going on .
  7. Well, they only have so many right-handed hitters. But he should be challenged. Are you a real Major Leaguer or not?
  8. Skubs works fast. I love that. Hao Yu Lee would have had that
  9. I do not believe they said the words Torres or Greene in that half inning, but they talked about shoes, sawing tuna and whatever.
  10. I thought you didn't like Sushi Oh, by the way, 2 outs What Sushi did you eat? This is brutally bad.
  11. We have to hear about Teoscar's shoes? This is compelling stuff, man.
  12. If TP Fan was a Tigers fan, he'd be calling for Chris Fetter to be fired and questioning why Tarik Skubal is our Opening Day starter.
  13. I tried to be $10 on a rainout. They haven't had one since April 2000, the odds had to be a big payout. I couldn't find a way to bet that.
  14. If Skubal pitched a perfect game, Manfred will probably fine and suspend him for ruining the Dodgers game.
  15. 7:10 is Sucker Time. 7:25 is probably the first pitch. They'll do the team introductions. First they'll say "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the team from somewhere else" Then for the Dodgers, when each player is introduced they will have a 5 minute bio video (and this includes trainers and equipment managers). Ohtani's will be a 2 1/2 hour movie. His translator will be pixeled out.
  16. Adoption agencies were upset that we were making light of adoptions and asked us to stop.
  17. Oh, I didn't realize this was going to be an ESPN game. It's gonna be Dodgers vs. some other team. It's going to be hard to take.
  18. Keith at first, Tork at DH This makes no sense to me. Tork improved at 1b last year, Keith is shaky there.
  19. Taxes A puzzle? What's the point. You put it together and it's over Laundry? I'm in radio, what's the point? OOTP is not a substitute for real baseball. Can't bowl, it's a hand thing. My spices are on a shelf over the stove, there are 5 of them and they are already in alphabetical order Movies are for Winter. What ELSE what I do when I listen to the podcast. A Quiche ? I'm a REAL man. I never brought my snow thrower out. Never needed it.
  20. But it doesn't happen to US It's supposed to rain all day Sunday. What the **** are we supposed to do all day? Stupid Manfred.
  21. I would think that Flaherty taking on the team he got the ring with is a no-brainer. It would be wise to have Jobe and Mize start against the weak-hitting Mariners. How is there no game on Sunday? What a clusterfoible.
