Motor City Sonics

Another win for the Toddfather

I am starting to get the feeling that Mize will not be in the starting rotation much longer.

Wow, that division, man. Poor Colorado.

Or a misser that closes bats

Are you saying the Illitches would hold a grudge for this long? Oh yeah, #91 still isn't retired by the Red Wings. Yes they would.

I was meaning more sentimental for Verlander or the Fans. If they think last year was a fluke, then kick the tires, but time is undefeated.

Yeah, a 1 year deal with a base of 15 (he wouldn't go lower than Cobb), but loaded with incentives. Verlander wants to win 300 games, he's 38 games short. That means at least 3 more seasons of SUCCESSFUL baseball with at least 12 wins a year and he'll be 42 next month. I don't knock him for the goal, as he'd likely be the last guy to get to 300, but I just don't see it happening. I feel like it would just be a sentimental signing and that's fine, if it doesn't hurt us. He pitched like a 41 year old last year. He's entering Steve Carlton at the end of his career territory and that was a rough decline. He should just walk away.

Maybe they're just looking for an excuse to repeat last year's parade of Openers.

Anyone remember the Minnesota/Detroit game with the FOX announcers who didn't know what was going on. Said Golden Tate was a Viking and Norv Turner was a Lions coach. Anyone remember that? People called out the announcer (Mike Goldberg) on Twitter and he responded with some very colorful language and never did a game again. https://awfulannouncing.com/nfl/mike-goldberg-nfl-on-fox-play-by-play-broadcast-debut.html

Chris Smith? WHAT?

And the Pistons are .500 !!!! Unreal.

Does he even play Madden?

We were all bitching about inactivity too much around here and Harris got sick of it, so he said "What the Hell, why not?"

Predicted by whom? Randy in Accounting?

True, but over the course of the last 5 - 6 years. They didn't want Torres because they like second basemen who can play second base.

What is the record since the 1-6 start? 35-9 ?

They sign more than we do now.

Gonna be a lot of film-watching this week. He'll keep 'em loose, but I doubt they call all out until the end of the week. He knows they need a breather.

This team is winning the Super Bowl.

With the 12th Pick in the 2023 draft, the Detroit Lions select Jahmyr Gibbs, Alabama WHAT THE HELL ARE THE LIONS DOING ? With the 18th Pick in the 2023 draft, the Detroit Lions select Jack Campbell THAT IS SUCH AN OVERREACH Brad Holmes, I will never ever ever doubt you I mean, this is so damn stunning. Just four short years ago we were totally hopeless with the worst head coach in team history, a coach the players HATED. First year with Brad & Dan we started 0-10. Gave up a 66 yard Field Goal. Head Coach cried in the presser. Some people clowned him for it. The players knew it was genuine. I've felt that - when you give every ounce of yourself to something and it goes badly and you feel like you're on karma's bad side. Now this is the start of it. This team isn't even peaking yet. If they have a healthy Hutch and some more support rushing the passer next year....they could go undefeated. That's how good they are. It's incredible.

Teri Hatcher fan? I get it.

Just coming here to check, because I may have been hallucinating (even though I was sober), but did I dream that? Did 31-9 actually happen? Was that real? Are we alive? What's going on here? I don't know what to do with my hands. I mean NO TOUCHDOWNS.

We knocked their starting QB out of the game with like 1:15 to go, Carolina was on their own 7 yard line or something like that and they ran that same Weinke to Proehl play 5 times in a row - same exact play and I think they missed on the throw once. It was the biggest angry sports meltdown of my life. I ****ing lost it. Watched it at a bar and when leaving punched a dumpster and somehow did not break my hand. My friend looked at me and said "Jesus, Do you need to go to the hospital or something?". He was talking about my emotional state, not my hand. When the Celtics stole the inbound pass vs the Pistons, I just collapsed in sadness, but that Lions game. Oh my. Second place might have been the Calvin process game and third was Crowell not getting out of bounds. Idiot. Batch had played a great game too.

Oh I remember that so vividly. They should have released him the next day for being that selfish or stupid or both. On my list was the game vs. Carolina in 2005 Weinke to Proehl Weinke to Proehl Weinke to Proehl Weinke to Proehl Weinke to Proehl Touchdown. 21-20 loss.
