Motor City Sonics

The White Sox series was the team losing intensity for a few days, which I actually think is kind of good for them. I still think this Tigers team is a lot like the 2021 Giants team that won 107 games with no eye-popping individual stats. But our pitching is better.

Jack was getting a lot of help by Dingler and the ump today. I don't blame CC for getting pissed off.

Wow, ugly swing by Tork.

They showed that guy in the bullpen and I thought it was Michael Fulmer for a second.

FINALLY< RILEY !!!!!! Horton hears a bloop

Eduardo Rodriguez, after having a 5.04 ERA last season and a WHIP of 1.5 has an ERA of 7.05 and WHIP of 1.701 this year.

Riley may need a day off. Just a day to chill a little. Nothing wrong with that.

Better Call Saul

Lord Stanley, you admitted it, too. You are screwed.

Pet Peeve is when I am in the middle of typing a post a pop up ad comes up and I have to exit out of it to get back to typing. Can't wait until I'm done typing? Annoying.

How the hell does Kreidler keep surviving? If we had an INF go down, I'd want to see Lee way before Kreidler.

Wow, are people really upset over this week? They GAINED a game this week in the division. The White Sox have once decent thing and that's some decent pitching. I think maybe the team lost a little intensity this week in Chicago and that's just fine. Gotta do that actually over 162. Still went 4-3 on a road trip. Give me that for EVERY road trip and I'm happy. Everything's fine. I'm a little worried about starting pitcher depth, after the main 5 and Montero there seems to be a steep drop off and I can't really count on Gipson-Long yet and I don't know what's going on with the Cobbler. They need another arm. I think Jobe's headed where we all fear he'll be headed. What the hell happened to Manning? He was at least a 4 or 5 there in 2023 - Dude has a great Spring in 2024 and loses a spot to Olson and it just seems like the life left his body. He's gotta be fixable. If he could be what he was in 2022 and 2023 then there's some depth to get ya through for a bit.

I hope Steelers OC Arthur Smith updates his resume. His job is already in jeopardy. I do think Tomlin is safe.......but who knows?

I know there are exceptions. The Red Hot Chili Peppers did it for a Super Bowl Halftime, but Anthony's mic was actually live. They said they'd never do that, but there were several acts and moving pieces and you can't properly soundcheck for that. Prince and Springsteen did not mime their halftime shows, but they were the only act playing, so they could do a little soundchecking.

I know for younger music fans these days, and ones of pop music, they don't care, but I really have no respect for people who lip synch, even partially. I have seen older artists that don't hit all the notes anymore and I am fine with that. In a TV show setting, I kind of understand, but not a live one. I think it's weak

Seriously, can you imagine what he's going through after this long journey to finally come back and then BOOM..........rain. There's only one thing he can do. The next time he pitches, DOMINATE and throw it in God's face!

Rain out? That's God's way of telling SGL that he should just give up baseball.

I think there are probably several AAA teams that would fare better than the Colorado Rockies

What happens when Matt Vierling healths up ? I don't really see anyone they need to send down. I don't see Sweeny being the guy to go down Three weeks ago I would have said Colt Keith, but he's finally come around. Maybe put him in cryogenic sleep until Mid May every year? No spot for Matty V. Wow, what a good problem to have. Of all the trade deadline needs, if this team stays healthy, it might be an inning-eating starting pitcher. A 4th or a 5th.

Look at the setting for this show. Oh my.

Oh my gosh, look at that setting !

That's just him in the zone. Like a starting pitcher on game days. I've met him 3 times and he actually remembered me once at Bonnaroo (not my name but he said "Hey - Ann Arbor, right?") He's actually quite friendly -at least he has been since the late 90's - he was a bit of a jackass in his earlier years, I think it was a schtick as much as anything. A few people set him straight on that. He was trying to be a "punk". The stage is his domain. Plus, he probably couldn't see you very well from the bad eyesight and all the lights pointed at him. So the glare might have just been him squinting.

I think Kerry's juicing.

Was the sketchy friend this guy ?

Wow, a ump threw a guy out for tapping his helmet? If you can't even take that gesture, you have no business umping in the Majors. What a baby.
