Motor City Sonics

this ****in' team, man

Dear Free Press, please don't print a headline of "CLINCH DAY" in Friday's paper. I remember when you did that for that Thursday game vs. the Twins in 2009 and they lost that game and wound up having a Game 163.

LET'S GO MAR-LINS CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP

3

6-1. I think we're going to see Jobe in the 9th now.

I would make the argument that from the non-pitching side of things that Kerry Carpenter is the team's MVP. Look at their record with him and without him.

In 1968 an immigrant named Sirhan Sirhan shot and killed the man who looked destined to by our 37th President. Kamala Harris' fault.

haven't been able to watch...........why did Montero come out so early?

I thought the grin was because he was high all the time. #4 loved his weed.

Yes he did. And I loved the way Tony Phillips played. Mr. OBP. But Aurelio has a much stronger bond to me. What I remember about Rodriguez is he always seemed to be smiling.

Tomorrow it's Tram, then Lou on Thursday and Friday we celebrate

In honor of the Magic Number being 4 - I give you a childhood favorite of mine - who wore the number. Aurelio Rodriguez

Updated Coach hot seat rankings. Nobody is getting fired before week 5, but....... I have to have 5, but right not it's really 2. Other guys making this list are absolutely in trouble, but their team's struggles are more on the front offices than it is on the coaches. 1. Doug Pederson, Jacksonville - Two division games coming up one in Houston and at home vs. Indy. They lose both and he's probably out. He rises to #1 because....... 2. Mike McCarthy, Dallas - .......Jerry is not reactionary with coaches, he's pretty patient and he loves MM, but his seat will be very hot all season. He'll survive the season unless the team falls to something like 1-6 or 2-8 - and Dallas is too good fore that to happen. Do any of you think, like me, that Dak Prescott is just about the most overrated QB in the last couple of decades. Oh, he's talented, but he is not worthy of that pay. (very big gap here) 3. Zac Taylor, Cincinnati - Seems like Cincy's window has already closed. I don't think it's Taylor's fault so much, but this team has all their eggs in Joe Burrow's basket and he's not the same anymore. That swagger was great, but it only goes so long like that. 4. Kevin Stefanski, Cleveland - It's not Kevin's fault they signed that scumbag Watson, but coaches are hired to be fired. If Kevin goes crazy and benches Watson for Jameis and it works he'll look like a genius, but also piss off Browns ownership who have to keep paying Watson for being a backup. If they have a Morals Clause in Watson's contract it would probably only kick in after a conviction. 5. Matt Eberflus, Chicago - Look, Matt was in trouble last year, so his seat was already a bit warm and you can't blame him if the QB isn't setting the world on fire - he's a rookie and few can do what Stroud did last year, but I think the Bears expect to be in the playoff chase into December. If they take a step up - he's probably not the guy to do it. Lurking in the shadows is Robert Saleh - and the only reason is that he has that Prima Donna at QB. I think Rodgers things he's the coach. Funny how Green Bay's coach has turned Jordan Love into a really good QB and seems to have shaped Malik Willis into a positive. Maybe Rodgers wasn't all that great in his last few years in Green Bay.

And we won this on a bad call too. That was a swing on Parker We'll take it.

I can't believe this. This is nuts. We're talking Magic Numbers and ****. Wow.

Skub just won the Cy Young award Think he's fired up? A little bit?

To me this is the most exciting regular-season week of Tiger baseball since 1987. What a ride that was.

HOT SEAT RANKINGS 1. Doug Pederson, Jacksonville 2. Mike McCarthy, Dallas Zac Taylor is lurking

Chris Fetter could have made Nate Cornejo a good pitcher. DO..........NOT..........LET...........FETTER...........GET............AWAY PAY HEEM...........PAY THYAT MAN HEES MAHNEY !

What's funny is that we look at JJ's two Toledo starts, which seem unimpressive stat-wise, but several of the guys they've called up this year are unimpressive stat-wise. They saw something they liked in this kid. And now, he's about to get FETTERIZED !

I look forward to the Tigers vs. Diamonbacks in the World Series where we destroy E-Rod.

Much of the GOP does not want him to really win. Only the ones who aren't running are supporting him out of fear. Most of the established GOP wants him gone. Including folks like Lindsey Graham. They want to move on, but guess what, they're getting Trump again in 2028 or another crazy MAGA. This IS the Republican Party now. The Lunatic Fringe is now the Lunatic Center of the party.

Speaking of homers- where is Craig Monroe these days?
