Motor City Sonics

A 4 year old Japanese boy who can throw a baseball 83 mph has already signed with the Dodgers.

I have a feeliung that the Tigers are actually the only team that's even close on Bregman and they know it and they are refusing to budge. I am not sure Alex Bregman is on anyone's roster on Opening Day

They can't get out of their own way. I really hope Bobby Saleh doesn't take this job. It would be better to be a DC (with the Lions hopefully) and wait it out until a halfway decent opportunity comes along. I just feel like if Saleh goes to another dysfunctional situation that he will fail and if you fail twice as a Head Coach, you'll never get another shot. I like Saleh.

I can see Kirk Cousins landing here. He'd be better than Rodgers because he wouldn't try to run the whole team. The only chance Glenn has of success there is kicking Rodgers out the door on Day 1.

Other teams plundering your coaches to give them higher status is an indication that you're doing things right. I trust Campbell and Holmes to find the right replacements, but more importantly, I trust them to go in a different direction if they realize it isn't working.

I agree. I want to know the reason. Is it gonna be one of these "I have to protect the integrity of baseball and nobody can be allowed to be perfect" a-holes. Maybe this is like the Pedo who didn't vote for Nolan Ryan.

I am no fan of police brutality, but someone who robs and physically assaults a weaker elderly person - it wouldn't bother me to see them get an errant elbow to the chin by the cops. You know, an "oopsie".

Far worse than Avila. We are learning now that Avila could actually spot talent, he just couldn't hire the right people to develop it. We're seeing that now with Harris' guys doing a stellar job of getting the most out of guys that Avila picked. Let's hope Harris picks talent well. The Tiges went way too long, more than 20 years, not being able to develop position players. I have posted the lineup for the best player in each position that the Tigers drafted between Randy Smith/Dombrowski and Avila and Jeff Larish was on it. It was so bad that it feels like Granderson, Fryman and Higginson (who was a pretty good player at one time) were accidents. Outside of those 3, it was slim pickens. But Randy. It's almost like his guys from the Padres weren't getting it done there, so he just had to bring them here to show he was right. I know it wasn't literally only that team, but it sure seemed like he was just in love with his own Padres picks and always looked there first. If not that, then doing his dad in Houston a favor by taking their deadweight. It always just felt to me like Randy Smith was kind of lazy that way. I do understand that you are going to be linked to players you had with your old teams, but you have to scour the rest of the league too. I kind of feel like Alex Cobb is that guy for Harris. "Hey, I signed this guy in San Francisco......." I hope our coaches can do something with him. Maybe Chris Fetter can get the most out of him before he leaves for the Bears job.

If That was a Randy Smith signing and Randy Smith talked this guy up like he was the greatest. And flubbing the flyball in Weaver's no-hit attempt. That was on the manager. That was late in the game and Paquette had very little experience in RF, he should have never been out there in a no-hitter. You put your best glove you can. But of course, whatever ex-Padres Randy Smith had on that roster, they probably didn't even have a good RF'er. Laziest GM ever. Seems like all he did was deal with the Padres and his dad's team in Houston. He drafted them, so by golly he's gonna prove he was right in Detroit by bringing all the stiffs here. Oh don't get me started on Randy Smith. The Matt Millen of baseball.

If your car breaks down on Rotunda or the Southfield service drive next to the practice facility, Lions security will be out there checking on you to make sure you're not spying for the Vikings or Packers. They'll get there a lot faster than a tow truck or police will. It reminds me of Dominos Farms. The Men In Black suits would materialize out of thin air to ask your business. It was so freaking weird. "I'm here for Monahan......."

Bobby, no, Don't do that to yourself. You go from Woody to Shad? No. You deserve better.

He knew when to hit 44 home runs.

Robert Saleh for DC ?

Some of the dumbest PEOPLE ON EVERYTHING on earth post about EVERYTHING on Twitter. Fixed it for ya. Some of them went to Antarctica - saw the 24 hour Sun with their own eyes and still think the earth is flat. People like that are growing in number. Twitter/Facebook/YouTube is why there are so many Sovereign Citizens now - and those numbers are growing. I declare that I have a religion that prohibits me from paying taxes or utilities. If DTE cuts my power off they are violating my rights.

It's because it was a playoff game and Teddy had experience.

There will never be a salary cap in baseball. The players union will shut the sport down forever before ever caving on that. They had no shame in getting a World Series cancelled, in fact they were proud of it.

Ndamukong Suh of the Lions drove a nice car that he hit some guy with (Exit ramp from Southfield to Rotunda) and then fled to the Lions practice facility where Lions security intervened and called the cops who then threatened to arrest the victim of the hit and run. Of course, nothing ever happened to Suh.

Don't need him. We got Nido !

I started my current job on May 9, 2023 and I have not taken 2 consecutive days off since then. I do some work from home during the weekend. We're pretty short staffed so I really can't. But I have not taken a week off at all. Even when I had Covid in Oc........sorry, ROCKtober 2023, I did not take a day off, I worked from home for 3 weeks. Really only felt terrible for one day, the rest was like a bad cold. I probably shouldn't do this. I could just hit a wall. But the thought of not having goals to reach or distractions to fill my attention is downright scary to me. Scarier than the prospect of having my Social Security taken away. I am a pretty depressed person and I need things to focus on. I could happily live pretty frugally. I don't care about having the biggest and best things. My car is 10 years old now. It runs fine, as cool as an electric microbus would be, I don't really need it. It's the unfilled time that's so scary. That's it - retire and then LIVE in a VW microbus and travel around, do the Major and Minor League stadium tour. Get a sticker from every major and minor league team and put them all over the microbus. The Baseball Bus !

Congrats. I love my job, so right now I can't imagine retiring. I'm 60, so I guess I will have to start thinking about it, but I don't know that I could stand it. What would I do with myself? I would be totally lost. I'm very work-driven now. My hobby and my job are basically the same. My dad couldn't stand it. He went and got part time jobs moving cars around for Enterprise. I don't even think he cared about getting paid - he just needed a goal. How will you fill the hours?

Best trade in sports history? Both teams got what they wanted. Lions got a fresh start and man has Brad Holmes taken advantage of it. I'm not giving up on Goff. Look at how great Lamar is and he can't get to the Super Bowl either. I do think it'll happen at some point in the next 2 seasons for the Lions. They may not got 15-2 again, but just get into the playoffs...........I think the Lions are better suited as a bit of an underdog anyway -- fits their personality. Please develop a good pass rush beyond just 1 guy.

That was a stupid play, but if it had worked we'd be marveling at the genius of it. That was how they got to 15-2, doing crazy stuff like that. Why change? It just didn't work this time.

Team loss. A lot went wrong. Ben was just part of it. It was the defense more than anything. When you score 31 points in a playoff game, even with 5 turnovers, you should win the game. The defense had been teetering on disaster for several weeks and the team was able to overcome it because they played inept QBs. But when they played QBs who were cool under pressure, they folded. They could only hold so long with half the defense being backups. Now, that's not really an excuse. The failure, at it's core, is that their pass rush was a one-man endeavor and that guy went down in the Dallas game. Smith was not nearly the factor we'd hoped he'd be. They have to solve that. That's their offseason. If they can solve that and hopefully get health with the D-Line, the Secondary would look a lot better. No secondary is going to hold for over 5/6 seconds a play.

I feel like they are just better when people doubt them. Kind of like Dantonio's Michigan State teams.

What happened before any of our players were alive doesn't mean anything.
