Motor City Sonics

Nick Castellanos has had a strange career. I don't think it's over now. I think he can redeem himself, but only as DH. That guy couldn't catch a cold. I don't know if he's the worst defensive player of all time, I doubt it. I am sure there are several guys that I've never heard of that were worse, but in the 21st Century - you could make an argument. Delmon Young was an adventure.

He had a weird season. He'd be absolutely dealing and then a bad inning, but sometimes they left him in and he'd go right back to dealing.

I think the same thing - keep the lefties apart a bit. Hopefully no bruised egos. I kind of want a rain out in one of the first two series because I'd LOVE to see JV pitch in the 5 slot and the home opener and the Skubal game 2 on the homestand. But that's just me being silly.

Well, lets be fair, I think he woke up about 30 seconds before the picture. So, the guy that led our team in wins last year, a #1 overall draft pick, who was an All Star last year with an ERA under 4 -- is our FIFTH starter. Wow.

The media hated Joe. Clicks were down No real scandals other than his son lying on a form (oooh, big one there) Sleepy Joe Boring Joe No-Clicks Joe Yep, they hated him. Clicks being up are more important than protecting our Democracy and Ecomonmy Obama was boring as **** too. I want boring. Boring is good. A boring President is like watching a major league game where you don't know the home plate ump's name because he has not given you a reason to even bring it up - he's just doing his job. And here it is. I think it's been done enough time in the last 40+ years that is a measurable trend Republicans **** up the economy Democrats fix it - but not fast enough So stupid people blame them The Democrats **** up the message Republicans do it all over again. Welcome to the 2026 version. Which may end up being the worst of them.

G.O.P. = GATHERING OF PEDOS

But JV and Framber are not standing together. They must have hated each other in Houston. This is a problem. Fractured locker room. Fist fights, dirty looks. Man, and I was so excited yesterday.

It's beyond lazy. He's so insulting to anyone who ever cared about the game. He really is that bad. Just go away and shut up.

I don't know. Playing in Fenway helped a lot. We'll never know. Such a horrifying injury. It had to have contributed to his early death.

I meant he was on track to be the best of all time. Not just today.

Yeah, his career might be in serious jeopardy.

What's Rick Porcello doing ?

Wait, they're signing Scherzer too? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

Scherzer too? Are you kidding me? but it hit you in the nose and now you look like Frank Zappa

Cusack wanted a Fishbone song. Um, no. I love Fishbone, but not for emotional impact.

Could be interesting if Verlander started the Home Opener. I mean, right now that would be the 6th game, so it would likely be Skubal since nobody expects a rain out in San Diego or Phoenix.

Roster move. For Valdez they'll put Jobe on the 60 day, right? Interesting that hasn't happened yet Who is gone now? I would think Trey Sweeney is a candidate. They also have 4 catchers on the roster, but they aren't dumping Liranzo. Don't know a lot about Valencia, but they'll need a third C at some point. I think Vierling has an edge over Jahmai Jones and I don't see them cutting Trei Cruz without giving him a look at the MLB level first. Sweeney is in trouble with so many potential infielders Jace, Lee, Keith, Max, Trei all in need of auditions. I guess some pitchers could be in trouble like Bailey Horn or even Gipson-Long. Or is someone else going to the 60-day?

Eva Grubb - the fake Ginger Grant from Gilligan's Island (now that is a pull on my part)

Without looking it up - what was his UNI number that day?

I am in the camp of Olson, maybe not being hurt still, but the team believing that he's not durable enough for a full season and also that they really are going to monitor Melton's innings. I kind of have mixed feelings on Melton. Because if the issue is that they think he's going to need TJ surgery (a rite of passage for MLB pitchers now), to just go ahead and get it done now and maybe he's ready to be tip top in 2028, when baseball returns after the lost year in 2027. Verlander is insurance for that. I am sure they told him that he's not promised one of the five slots. Or maybe - just maybe - the Tigers are going to a 6-man rotation at some point. I didn't expect this. I actually did last year. I guess he's pretty stoked about this. A return to the Halcyon days of his prime. Let's win this all and if Skubal walks, who cares?

Favorite ending to a movie? It's a lighter touch, not a dramatic one. I guess you could have categories for endings Mine is Say Anything. Waiting for the No Smoking light to go off in the airplane (showing you how old the movie is, you could still smoke on planes in 1989). There is something very satisfying about the way it ends. Say Anything is an extremely underrated movie.

See, people will believe anything they see online.

I saw a post where in the top frame there is an explosion and the back of Tom Hanks suit is on fire. The bottom photo shows Tom Hanks in a hospital bed with all kinds of burn wraps and a caption that reads Tom Hanks was nearly killed in a dressing room explosion. It's not even good A.I. yet comment after comment after comment was wishing him a fast recovery. They're just too stupid to know. It just floors me how easily people will fall for something. Many of these people vote. We're ****ed.

Beef Stew will probably get 10 games, but that reputation will not suffer because of it. The Bad Boys are back !!!

Pistons are only a half game behind OKC for the best record in the NBA. 39-13 two years ago they were 8-44 This is incredible.
