Motor City Sonics

We have to get the Yankee feed?

One hour til I can watch baseball on TV again ! This is so exciting. All my out-of-house errands are done for now.

Used to have him on our radio show on WTKA in Ann Arbor. We talked to him after he blew out both knees while jogging in Kansas City (I think it was KC). He has to miss a few games but he was nice enough to still do the call with us while he recovered. Talking to him off the air he's the same guy we hear during the games.

I don't know if anybody posted this yesterday. I forgot to and was running errands. That was a massive failure on my part and I am sorry. “Lo, the Winter's passed, the rain is over and gone, the flowers appear on the Earth, the time for the singing of birds has come. And the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.

It could be some automated system

What, specifically are you talking about?

Trade Riley. Trade Parker. Ben Malgeri. After Miggy's #24 and JV's #35, Ben Malgeri's #83 is going up on that wall in CF. Ty who?

Come on. First outing. Next one he'll probably blow through 2 innings. He is so inconsistent. There's a good pitcher there somewhere - we've seen it, but he's make-or-break now.

Hao Yu Lee is making this team.

They had some good players Modano. We had some playoff battles with them. They were one of the Islanders victims one season. Made an unlikely run to lose to Mario in the finals in what, 92? I remember the anger when they were taken away I remember one year in the playoffs, Wings and Stars went to OT and we're all putting a dollar in on who would score the winner in OT and my friend's cousin just yells out YVES RACINE - who had 5 goals all year and a 33-game pointless streak. He took the kitty that night. One of the most brilliant calls ever. Almost as brilliant as my call in December 2004 as the Lions came back from 28-14 vs. the Vikings and as they scored to make it 28-27 I yelled out "They're gonna muff the snap". Yep.

XHEKAJ Looks like a bunch of random keyboard strokes How do you even say that?

Maeda Guy Who Won't Make Team Guy You forgot about Prospect who is three years away Jason Foley Guy You never heard of Maeda Manning (Guy who won't make team) Tim Naughton (Guy you forgot about) PJ Poulin (who?) Matt Gage (Warm body) Chase Lee (Guy who will drop off the 40 man when Jose Quintana gets signed)

Correct me if I am wrong. Is there any team more boring in the NHL than the Minnesota Wild? No notable history No stars Even when they signed a couple big free agents (Parise & Suter) they both went flat No long or exciting playoff runs Not really known for anything. The North Stars made some history, they had some moments. But who comes to mind when you think of the Minnesota Wild. I instantly think of coach Jacques Lemaire and his style was the most boring of all. And that's a hockey market. Imagine the blandness of the post Zetterberg/Datsyuk years with the Wings. Imagine that was your entire history. Yeesh.

Maeda Guy Who Won't Make Team Guy You forgot about Prospect who is three years away Jason Foley Guy You never heard of

Yeah, but it's like opening a Christmas gift to find out that it's just socks. Sure, you need socks, but it's not very exciting.

I never know if streaming the game is actually allowed. Years ago it was not, they'd have to go to other programming. But you know what, there is something about driving on a sunny day with baseball on in the car. I am willing to waste a little gas for that.

Wow, even for an exhibition game that's a pretty brutal lineup. I know it's 3 innings for most of these guys, but yikes.

The only AM radio I have anymore is in my car, so I guess I'll just drive around a bit and listen.

I'll tell ya what, the Pistons are a great story. Top 4 is not out of the question here. Home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. This has been a fantastic turnaround. It seems like they are maybe one really good player away from elite status the way they are going now. J.B. Bickerstaff should be a finalist for Coach Of The Year. He won't win it because there are two teams at 45-10, but he's done a great job. Cunningham is a superstar, and you don't hear about anything other than basketball with him. Duren is turning into a well-rounded player (he still has plenty of detractors, but keep in mind that he just turned old enough to drink 3 months ago. Malik's a fun player that brings energy, a fan-favorite type of guy and I think that Thompson is starting to click. This is fun. Too bad they have no more games against Indiana. Pretty silly scheduling, to go the last 35 games without playing a division rival. But that may be good since the Pacers seem to have their number. It's nice to care about them again. I don't like what the NBA has turned into, it's hard to root for many players anymore. I liked the NBA a lot more when it was actually about basketball.

Oh, there is no way Tony Dalton could do it. I am talking his college years. I mean, obviously Lalo is a very educated guy. He's the Salamanca that they sent to prep school so he could infiltrate society.

If there was any other spinoff from Breaking Bad that could be interesting it would be about the younger years of Lalo Salamanca. Very interesting bad guy.

No, it's just you

So wait............MLB wants out of the ESPN deal? Because of "minimal coverage"? Want to as the NHL how separating from ESPN went for them? Be careful here, Rob.

The rest of the NHL has the toughest schedule remaining. They have to face The Toddfather But I feel like this long break interrupted the flow too much (even though they lost the last one). Same for the Pistons, they were on a roll.

Yep. Same here. He would have taken credit for it if they'd won, so I am glad Canada won.
