Motor City Sonics

See you tomorrow morning (that sounds weird).

Here it comes Rollin' down the street HONK HONK THE BUS IS HEREE

Did Cora send him just to get out of the rain?

Something wrong with Vierling, he sure didn't get down the line quickly. Here comes Dingler's triple. !

They need to pinch hit with McGonigle here so he can get his 162

BERT !

Wow, Torres really SMOKED that double.

HOW'D YOU DO , HAO-YU............WHAT A PLAY !

Sorry I'm late. Fell asleep.

By the way, The Pitt's next season is set in November. So I am guessing that it will be Robby's first day back from his nervous breakdown/sabbatical - and he is going to walk into a bunch of unexpected changes and an emergency room that ran very well without him - which will cause an existential crisis for him. I think Thanksgiving, and a Blizzard may be part of the backdrop and the mix of the day will be a bunch of homeless people finding shelter at the hospital and making up reasons to be there (only to find out they have real illnesses), along with a terrible icy road traffic crash and maybe a mass Food Poisoning scare. Robby will not walk in as the Senior Attending right away as they will give him a few weeks to readjust. That means Abbot has moved to Days, Or Al-Hashimi has gotten her wish of two attending - herself and either Dr. Ellis (who will be a regular next season) or Dr. McKay.

No, no way. The Pitt is an outstanding show but comparing anything to BB/BCS/Sopranos/The Wire in my book is like comparing a rookie to Babe Ruth, Willie Mays or Sandy Koufax. It's just not fair. I think TV really started to change with one show in 1981 - Hill Street Blues. As far as I can recall that was the first cop show where the cops didn't always get the bad guy and sometimes the cops WERE the bad guys. Maybe intentionally (Cheif Daniels, Sal Benedetto) or screw up with heart in the right placye (J.D.LaRue). Then a couple years later came St. Elsewhere - where the doctors didn't always save the patient (previously the patient ALWAYS got saved). If you were a patient the first season of St. Elsehwere, you needed to update your will. Then TV went to another extreme in the 90s where the bad guys becaume the lead characters and the writers got you to sympathise with them - and that's when TV got really good. To black hat/white hat so much, just a lot of grey, really intense grey. The editing on Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and the Sopranos was as good, if not better, than any major theatrical film. Face it, Breaking Bad was basically a 60 hour movie.

I disagree. One thing that they can't do on that show is to have a "Crisis Of The Season". To have some sort of Mass Casualty event ever year. That would get old and very predictable. It's like the cop show were suddenly someone from the squad's family is targeted. It seems to happen every season on some shows. No, The Pitt's wasn't as action-packed as the first season, but that's by design. This season had two different kind of crises with the information outage and then the staff themselves. The true "crisis" was a slow burn and I thought they did an excellent job of showing how the stress of emergency medicine effects people in different ways. I thought the ending was really good because they didn't just answer questions and wrap it up - they showed the ongoing problem of it all. Maybe around the 4th of July, I am going to put that season on and just let the whole thing play out in real time. The whole season. I won't just sit there and watch it all but I will have it running on 1 tv all day to maybe get a sense of things. The real-life version of Dr. Robby was an ER doctor named Lorna Breen. Read about her. It's a devistating story. I think she actually might be the inspiration for this show. The healers need healing.

I got caught stealing once. When I was five. I enjoy stealing. Just as simple as that. When I want something and I don't wanna pay for it - I walk right through the door. Hey, alright. If I get by, it's mine. Mine all mine.

I am unable to watch (F Apple TV). I walked my dog and came back and they are already in the bottom of the 5th? Like Mark Fidrych's first start (and like Armando's Imperfect Game)

Saudade is such a great album, it's like a blissed out Summer day in your headphones.

It's so HIgh & Dry that Duane Kuiper could have hit as many as 2 or 3 home runs per year.

Oh, and while I don't think GR would ever be considered for MLB, I wonder why it's not a AAA market at it's size. It's basically a five-hour ferry ride to Milwaukee. So if Nashville goes MLB, the Brewers would need a new AAA team. Grand Rapids would be PERFECT !

The problem with Indy getting a team is that the White Sox, Reds and Cardinals would freak out about it. The Cubs would quiety pout too. But, a relocation is another story. I think the Rays are staying in FLA, but could move to Orlando and possibly Charlotte NC, but I am pretty sure MLB wants their footprint to remain in the SE. But the Brewers and White Sox have been fussing about a relocation - and while I feel like the Brewers are mostly bluffing, I could see the White Sox moving - based on Chicago letting the Bears get away. A move to Indy would not be too crazy. There are a fair amount of White Sox fans already in the state and the diehards in Chicago could possibly make that trip to see them in Indy. The Indianapolis White Sox sounds horrible and yes, my fictional Indianapolis Ignition isn't great either, it does have a ring to it. I think the other place that should be, but will NEVER be considred for an expansion team is Northern New Jersey. Plenty of money, population and political corruption to make it happen, but the blue bloods in NY, Philly and even Boston would lose their f'ing minds To me the best relocation places are.. 1. Nashville - Shoo-in for a team by 2032. There is a bit of a regional hole too. They're already selling merch ! 2. Northern New Jersey - Checks every box, but it'd be blocked 3. Indianapolis - I think it's a great spot, despite the whining from the Reds and Cardinals 4. Charlotte (or Raleigh/Durahm) - Plenty of money and population in Carolina, but are they into baseball? 5. Portland Regionally it makes sense. A lot of the type of people that would like baseball, but a political nightmare 6. San Jose - Stat nerds unite. Not every baseball fan in the region is a Giants fan and the A's would have been much better off in SJ than in Vegas. That's going to be a flop within 5 years. 7. Vancouver - I think it's a better case than MTL. 8. Montreal - I do think romantically about the innocent days of Jarry Park and the logo that I thought was an "elb" and not an "M", unless it's both. The confusing logo and the weird stadiums were part of the charm, but MTL is the Portland of Canada - a political nigthmare 9. Salt Lake City - I am with you Idaho Bert. I don't get it. But there's a lot of money there, or so I'm told. But the elevation is an issue, and isn't the air even drier than Denver? And the Metro population is only slightly bigger than Grand Rapids. Would you even consider MLB in Grand Rapids? No.

I know I am late with this, but I was in transit from work to home when this happened. If you give me a hard time about it, I will look for you, I WILL find you, and I will stare at you disapprovingly. THE BUS WAS LATE, BUT THE BUS IS HERE

I am starting to understand why Anderson has been pitching in Japan for the last three years. But it sure doesn't seem like any pitchers in Toledo are showing major league stuff.

WE'VE GOT BERT !

The pitching is a bit scary. Let's hope the big league guys stay healthy. Max didn't play Wednesday, was that just a day of rest?

Where is this?

So if Montero pitches really well again, do we even want Verlander back in the rotation?

This team, the way it is now, isn't going to scratch and claw for anything. They're the softest Wings team since the 70's. Las night they could have gone out and played for pride, but instead got destroyed because they have no pride. Mo is the only one I care about. They can trade every other player and I wouldn't care, because they don't seem to.
