Motor City Sonics

come on, you know it's coming. see you in 2028, kid.

So Giancarlo Stanton says he can't open a bottle or a bag of chips. Dude, just retire. Do the Yankees one solid and let them take the insurance money. You're done. I usually don't care about the Yankees, but this guy's just ripping them off at this point.

My cousin in Boston retired from the insurance industry in his 40s and went in with two friends on a boat and they do charter fishing trips (Mass in the Summer, Florida in the Winter). One of the two other guys ALWAYS gets seasick when it gets dark........every single day and he's been around boats his whole life.

try a piece of toast with a little butter and maybe a small amount of cinnamon or jam. coffee with no food ......older guy..........blood sugar drops a piece of toast with little bit of butter stopped my nausea/vertigo the other morning.

DO..........NOT..........SEEK...........THE...............TREASURE WE.......THOUGHT.......YOU.......WAS......A........TOAD

People actually bet on spring training games. See, to me that is an absolute indication that you have a gambling addiction. Betting on games where the teams don't even care if they win or lose.

the weather is nice in Baltimore for February.

Go ahead and schedule him now. We'll see you in July of 2028 when baseball finally returns.

I'm not feeling very positive about Riley Greene this season. His 2nd Half was brutal. .694 OPS is garbage. And he was no-show in the Seattle series. That uppercut swing gave him more HRs, but he needs to put the ball in play a lot more.

Giving the Presidential medal of freedom to athletes is ridiculous. Hey, they got their Olympic medals. It's just another thing that's been cheapened by this creep. Doing it for poll numbers. It's why I rooted for Canada to win the Gold. Trump ruins everything he touches.

I am wondering how good Decker will be. He's being held together with duct tape at this point. I mean, I respect the fact that he is willing to fight through it to play, but he is someone that likely won't be practicing much this season. I hope he has enough left.

One way to look at today's loss is that none of those pitchers are likely to be on this team at any point this season. As far as the hitting goes. Someone please wake up. 3 hits? That's vomit-inducing.

Cat Power tickets claimed.

how are you watching?

Picking up right where they left off last season in the run-scoring department. Sure, these games don't count, but you'd like to see some signs.

Our radio station has one pair of tickets left for Cat Power this Saturday at Saint Andrew's Hall. I have offered them to on-air staff members first, but if they don't take them, would anyone be interested in going to see Cat Power. She can be very very good - or things can go sideways, but I haven't heard that happening with her in a few years now. Motherhood has calmed her storms a bit. Is anyone interested? Message me, by Wednesday 2/25 please

Update: So, felt like I needed to get sick but could not. Ate some toast and the sickness went away and then the vertigo too. Try to figure that one out Dr. House.

Imagine you're on a rollercoaster and that rollercoaster is on a boat in a storm. that's what this morning is. the need to vomit but not able to vomit and every time I move my legs I pull my calf muscles. this is the most severe vertigo I've ever felt and I think I am going to urgent care or an er.

Tigers will announce it today - just before Skubal takes the mound in his Spring Training debut that the Tigers and Skubal have agreed on a 7 year $330 million contract.

I had a tube inserted and then steroids injected and then I put steroid drops in there for about a month. It did improve slightly, but we seem to be stuck now. The vertigo thing has gotten worse. I don't want any permanent implant. Only way I am getting that is if I lose hearing in both ears. But lets be honest, if that happens and I can't hear music - I'm not sticking around.

Maybe Meniere's Disease.

A weekend of Vertigo for me. It sucks so much. Went for one more hearing test Thursday. There was little to no improvement and the ENT said there is nothing more that they can really do I am going to the Ear Institute of Michigan on March 4th to see what could be done. They're going to start recommending hearing aids or cochlear implants. But from what I understand the cochlear implant is like a tiny speaker in your ear and it mushes all the sound together. When you listen with normal hearing your brain can pull out a guitar part or a horn solo or subtle parts of the music and with the implants, they are all compressed into one thing - and trying to listen with one normal ear and one implant ear has got to be horrible. I'd rather just not hear in the one ear. I just want to know what the hell happened. How did i go from a lifetime of GREAT hearing - being able to tell you what specific song is playing in a crowded noisy restaurants satellite feed (when nobody else around me can even hear music at all) - to this. Especially with my job. When I talk on the radio I am wearing headphones and any stereo mix of a song with something unique on the left channel is totally lost now. Now I am hearing tones in my left ear - that sound like test tones. They last for about 5-10 seconds and I think it's just my brain searching for a signal and making sounds up. These things come and go and I get dizzy and that part is getting worse. I fell in downtown Ann Arbor last week. I was walking along side a wall, so I used that to break the fall, but people must have thought I was drunk. That's what it feels like, it feels like being drunk when I am totally sober. I walk around the office with my eyes closed and my hand on the wall. It's like walking on a boat with high waves.

How much did the Tigers pay guys who didn't or barely pitched for them because the team knew they were injured when they signed them? Cobb (0 IP), Urquidy (2.1 IP), Sewald (4.1 IP), there's another one in there too, isn't there? Cobb got 15 million for 20 innings of minor league ball. Sign me up . I'll do that.

Did you know that if you accidentally write permanent marker on a white board that you can erase it by writing over top of it with a dry erase marker? As long as you don't wait too long. Alex Cobb will probably end up pitching for another team and then shutout the Tigers in a deciding playoff game.

Saw the box score of the Orioles/Tigers game and saw K. Pilkington pitched today and all I can think of is this guy
