CMU97

Indeed! I knew her a little bit back (way back) when. Early 2000's. No idea she was from Sarnia.

My Driveway is Wet. Of course, I'm 512 miles away from Comerica.

My wife loves the Bananas, wants to go to a game. I told her “have fun”. She said, “you don’t want to go, you love baseball!”. I told her, that is not baseball. I can appreciate the Globtrotters. It takes talent to dribble, dunk, and hit 3 pointers from the opposite out of bounds line like that. it doesn’t take talent to hit a 50 mph pitch over the plate, or throw out someone running 3/4 speed down the line. Now they are going to start a whole league around the concept. Just not for me.

If we kill you now, will that change the outcome?

No matter what us forever fans say, it is in our blood. We were here in 2003, and 2017-2023. We will be here if they collapse this year, or if they win it all. We will be here next year, and every year after. We will yell, cuss and cry. We will be euphoric when good things happen. We can blame it on listing to ( in my case) listing to Ernie and Paul in the mid 70’s when we sucked, or for the younger folks listing to Dan and Jim when we were good. But, we will continue to watch and listen. Forever. Because the Tigers are our team, and we will live and die with them 3 hours a day, every season.

Because he was pitching well when they got him . So was Verlander. The difference? Verlander has continued to pitch well, Morton has not.

So much for Morton stepping up.

I really hope Jung doesn’t press and try to do too much, because as we all know, when you try to do to much, you don’t do much. Hopefully, Sweeny and pick up his game and take the pressure off Jung. But, with a very young team, I’m sure they are all feeling the heat. Hopefully the veterans who have been here before ( Torres, Baez, and Motown) will take this game on their backs. (Morton)

Dan was saying on the last broadcast that his swing hasn’t looked the same since he came back after sitting a few games with an injury. Zach seems like the type that would say just tape my leg back on and I’ll be fine, but I wonder if he is hurt more than he is letting on, and AJ has his head in the sand on this on because they really need him right now.

I remember another young first baseman about 40 years ago who they said the same things about. He hit the ball a country mile too and a lot of them. Then he got hurt and was almost out of baseball at age 30. Then, he found the "hitter's little helper" in his locker one day and from ages 32-36 was the best home run hitter on the planet again. I am in no way suggesting Kurtz is doping or will in the future. Just like Hogbit mentioned, the list of rookies who come out on fire is very long, the list of those who sustain it over a full career is very short.

Wasn't he arrested at the closing of Tiger Staduim? Or was that Ron LeFlore? I remember both being arrested while back in detroit, maybe for an autograph signing?

This led me down the Jim Walewander rabbit hole this morning. If you have 30 minutes and want to hear everything you never wanted to know about Jim, listen to this podcast: https://www.suburbspod.com/2024/09/30/episode-1960-jim-walewander-punk-rock-ballplayer-part-1/. He owns his own restaurant with his son now in Virginia. Very interesting guy.
