Motor City Sonics

Just wondering. You could give me a ride and buy me a hot dog. No seriously, I got the 8th off as soon as the MLB schedule was announced but then, uncertain of the MLB season, I took the 5th off as well and I am thinking of going to the game. I have yet to buy tickets, but the Hens just emailed me that only 1,200 tickets remain (only? that seems like a lot) and I may take the drive down there to watch Willi Castro dominate. Anyone else thinking of going?

with his bat, not actually saying the words............I mean when you hit a home run off of......um.........Hagen Dazs...........I mean, Hagen Danner............you are announcing to the world I'M HERE !

E-Sock Paredes just told the Tigers "I DARE you to cut me, bitches, I DARE you".

Willi won't go...............Willi is here to stay. Willi will haunt our dreams.

Actually in the first months, they might be logging the same amount of innings as they would in Toledo. I would guess there is going to be a very strict pitch count on the starters, and you are going to need a couple of minor league starters to be long relievers.

Tigers roster through May 1st ? 10 position players (9 starters + Eric Haase) 18 pitchers (4 starters, 9 relievers, 5-man battle for spot 5 in the rotation). Actually, there is no pitcher cap, so they could have a 16-12 pitcher/position set up, but I think they go 15/13 Starters - Manning, Mize, Pineda, Rodriguez, Skubal Relievers - Alexander, Chafin, Cisnero, Foley, Fulmer, Funkhouser, Rony Garcia, Joe Jiminez, Soto, Wentz Catchers - Barnhart, Haase Infielders - Baez, Cabrera, Candelario, HCastro, WCastro, Paredes, Schoop Outfielders - Baddoo, Greene, Grossman, Reyes

He looks like James Franco there.........................Well, except for the fact he's actually got a job now.

Speculation that the Saints are will to just try out Colin Kaepernick and of course the conservatives are going to lose their minds........you know, the ones that preach about Jesus and religion and redemption? Meanwhile they missed out on getting a serial sexual offender, they would have been just fine with him.

No. No we won't.

Momentum doesn't tend to carry over the offseason.

Oh, and they get 9 home games this year..............

Lions play the NFC East this year..........not a strong division. Their positional NFC games are Carolina and Seattle. Both teams are in flux They play the AFC east, which might be tough Their 17th game, that extra game is against Jacksonville. The Bears have regressed and Minnesota hasn't done anything major. I don't think they have the toughest schedule next year.

A really good draft for the Lions might make things interesting.

The cap means nothing.

Well, Matt Ryan got moved. Just had a feeling about him in Indy for a long time.

Jameis is still out there, right? So is Baker Mayfield.

I'll keep playing 5.5 overs in the NHL until they stop giving them. I have won 18 out of 28 times doing that.

WOW, another fleecing by Yzerman. Nice work (I'm just practicing)

Beatles are easily #1 to me. Think about all the music they made and the impact on culture and the music biz itself. They did all that in about 7 years. That's it. To change that much about music, albums, culture, social attitudes in just 7 years is something that just won't ever happen again. Then I'd put Dylan who changed the way people listen to folk music and what folk music could really be. The Stones and Zeppelin are great bands but they basically were taking old blues music and modernizing it. I would put the Kinks ahead of both of them because of how they shaped (and still shape) Power Pop. What, no love for the Eagles? (Joking)

I'm not saying we'd be any better here. The game is violent The players are rewarded and praised for their violence (from the time they are about 14 years old) Layers upon layers of protection so they can play (Adrian Hernandez, anyone?) They feel untouchable because they often are, until they get caught, and even then it takes a major outcry. Ray Rice got 2 games initially. Guys that smoke weed at that time would get 4 or 8 games. The rhetoric is violent The highlights are often violent And now the fans have become violent, plenty of videos out there. I wouldn't take a child to an NFL game now. No way.

Beau The Bopper is gone...............for now

Best of luck to Sparty today............end Coach K's career. Can't stand that guy. Actually I can't stand how every praises him so much, it's ridiculous. Won't have to hear that anymore if Sparty wins today.

I think Watson misses half the season on suspension and that is a lot of idle time to get into more trouble. He'll get into more trouble. The reason is that he pretty much got away with horrible behavior, and he probably thinks he's invincible. He's a predator and predators don't stop on their own, they may go quiet for awhile, but he'll go back to his ways. Wonder how those Cleveland fans who chanted "Rape-lis-ber-ger (Clap Clap, Clap-Clap-Clap)" will embrace Watson. They will love him. We love our football, but it is a cesspool or just horrible people and horrible fans. Ray Rice got a standing ovation at Ravens practice AFTER the video of him knocking out his girlfriend came out. That says it all. I don't know where Baker ends up. Dude played through beatings for Cleveland. I don't think he's that talented, but he's tough as hell. Could be Houston, close to home. Maybe Seattle. Maybe Atlanta, who seem to be shopping Matt Ryan or maybe Indy, who doesn't seem to want him. New Orleans is in play too. I think Baker goes to a team that drafts a young QB as a Goff-like band-aid. I don't think Cleveland gets a first round pick for him. They are not in a position of leverage here. They HAVE to get rid of him. I expect him to have a Marcus Mariota-like career. Still good, but not really a starter on a good team.

I am really really sorry. I apologize unreservedly. I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basis in fact and was, in no way, fair comment, and was motivated purely by malice and I deeply regret any distress my comments may have caused you, or your family and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future

Who is this Cartoon fellow?
