Motor City Sonics

That pit in your stomach. That weight in your chest right now. Second time Detroit sports fans are feeling that this year. After a decade of feeling nothing like it. Don't like the feeling, but it's better than apathy.

I would imagine they are going to do more than Mark Canha this year. They don't need anyone for the outfield. They're not replacing Tork, not yet. And they shouldn't. It can be fixed - it's mental The one thing that might prevent them from increasing payroll too much is having to pay Javy, what $70 million to go away? Just tell Tiger fans their pizzas will cost 25 cents more. Not too great a sacrifice

I'm the guy who ended my Bally's subscription in July out of disgust only to have to renew in September. I gotta tell you.............Crow tastes pretty good. GO WINGS !

Before you get too torn up, and most of us aren't today. This team is EXTREMELY flawed and look how far they went ! This bodes well. Those young guys learned a lot about composure this year. They have now come into a winning culture and that feeds itself. It's going to be very hard to get back there. Can't rest on ****. Changes must be made to be better. If you don't best the previous season then it's a disappointment. So next year it's ALCS or bust, right? Aim high. No more accepting mediocrity. Hopefully it's the start of a semi-long run.

29 fan bases will end their seasons disappointed. We were the fifth-to-last to do it this season. That's pretty good after 10 years of being disappointed by September 1st.

Fell Apart? Oh, you mean he wasn't perfect. Well Damn Him, then. One of the dumbest takes ever.

I hope Tarik Skubal didn't injure his arm tantrum-throwing stuff in the dugout or clubhouse. But I guess if he was going to do that, it would be before signing a long term deal.

I think he's means Oregon, right? I agree with him.

This feels like when the Lions beat the Packers the last game. They seemed to clear a hurdle there and are moving on to better things. A more even year next year. No June Swoon, please. We're set in the Outfield with Carpenter-Meadows-Greene and then Vierling and Perez as backups.

Thanks for the ride, Tigers ! That was a lot of fun. Can we do this most years? What a great season. No complaints from me. Cleveland is a better team. They are where we want to be in a year or two. I hope Cleveland beats the Yankees, but they will have the full weight of MLB against them. Don't have to go nuts and spend a fortune, but there are players they can get. Priorities 1 - Sign Skubal. Just do it. He's your Verlander. 2 - Don't let Fetter get away. Make him the highest-paid pitching coach in history if they have to) 3 - Acquire another bat (Third Base?) 4 - Acquire another starting pitcher (Skubal-Olson-Mize-maybe Jobe). 5 - Just cut Javy loose. It didn't work. 6 - Get a platoon partner for Sweeney 6 - Find a decent backup Catcher. Don't think Dingler is quite there yet. They are going to need at least one more starting pitcher because MLB will stop allowing teams to use openers. Maybe they'll let it slide once every five days and if you think teams will get out of it by saying "pitcher's arm is tired after 2 innings", then they'll pass a rule that the pitcher has to go on the injured list The starting pitching criteria will be 1 - Must pitch at least 4 innings or Must throw 80 pitches or Must face opposing lineup at lest twice.

I won't be disappointed in this team no matter what happens today. I'll be sad, of course, but how could any of us be disappointed in this? The winner of today's game is the team I will be pulling for to take it all. But I know the winner of today's game will not get any favors or calls from the umps in the next series. MLB wants LA vs. NY, they want Ohtani vs. Judge. They'll begrudgingly accept NY vs NY, but I don't think there is any way they're letting Cleveland or Detroit into the party.

But it works for about 46-47% of the people in this country -- in 2024. Pathetic.

I never bet more than $10 and I NEVER bet on The Lions and Michigan because I can't be analytic at all. But, I make an exception this week. I put $50 on the Lions. They are going to destroy Dallas on Sunday. This team has all of their parts and they are laser-focused on making sure that even WHEN (not if) the Refs pull some pro-Dallas bull****, the score will be so lopsided it won't make a difference. I have never been this certain about the Detroit Lions in my life. They.........want.......this..........bad We all do

When Trump rips on cities............it's always cities with a large Black population. It's just his way of saying you'll be overrun by a bunch of "them" - meaning Blacks, which isn't the word he's thinking.

What's the point in having replay if these officials don't want to embarrass their friends down on the field. That player touched the ball with his hand.

We've got Skubal on Saturday. I mean, that's who you want. This team can't possibly break my heart at this point. This is all just gravy. No matter what happens Saturday you have to call this a massively successful season.

What is it with Red Wings goalies the last few years. For a half a season they look incredible and then they look like they don't belong in the NHL after that.

The Twins collapse was so bad that the owners are firing themselves.

Is that the last of the cloth-like domes?

I want polls saying its super close. I want them saying polls have Trump ahead (when it's not true). I don't think this would happen, but I don't want anyone on the blue side thinking this is in the bag at all.

Eagles have had a boatload of injuries, so it's hard to blame Nick, but coaches take the bullets.

Isn't the whole family a bunch of pervys?

Coaching Hot Seat Ranking I would have moved Saleh up to #2 or #3 - just based on the fact that Rodgers was about to put a knife in his back, but the knife was already out. They keep bringing up the 20-36 record. That first year was not on him. When a coach takes over a bad team, the first year isn't usually on them. Take away that first year and 16-23 still isn't great, but look who he had at QB - and that wasn't his fault. Jets defense is pretty good. Saleh will get another shot at HC somewhere, hopefully with a functioning franchise. Anyway. 1. Kevin Stefanski, Cleveland - It's not his fault, but coaches take the blame 2. Doug Pederson, Jacksonville - 1 Win is not enough to ice down that seat. 3. Dennis Allen, New Orleans - An uninspired choice to begin with. 4. Nick Siriani, Philadelphia - They have very big expectations in Philly and an impatient owner 5. Mike McCarthy, Dallas - Though not during the season. Lingering outside the hot seat room Sean McVay, LA Rams - Not that he'll get fired, but I could see him walking away. I could also see the Rams actually trading Stafford now, though not many teams really need a QB that can afford to give up anything Antonio Pierce, Raiders. The Raiders brand is Chaos. Jeff Ulbrich, NY Jets. Aaron has to have someone to blame when he sucks

They all want revenge. Refs won't matter this time Game won't be close enough Lions by at least 17

Even if we don't beat KANSAS CITY, they're going to change it. To satisfy gamblers, too. Gamblers HATE this stuff. They will force starters to have to meet either an innings floor, pitch count floor or a minimum of having to face a lineup twice. What is annoying about that is baseball wants the type of parity that the NFL has and will never get a salary cap and this method gives small market teams (who can't afford $30 - $40 million for a starting pitcher) a chance to be in the race. The Tigers don't want to start a season with 1 or 2 starters and then Blender Ball the other 3 games, they want 4 at least legit starters. Will baseball force this for every game or just 4 out of 5/
