I got a good laugh this morning when I opened my email and found this response to a long forgotten email that I had sent to the Detroit Catholic High School League way back in the fall of 2023 asking when the ball/strike change was implemented: From the CHSL........... "The spring of 1967 was the f...

Bernie's next job.

I honestly dont think I'm exaggerating when I say Reese Olson has pitched good enough to deserve Cy Young consideration for his performance the 1st quarter of the season. He's 0-4. I have no real idea what WAR is, but Olson ranks eighth for pitchers in the American League. https://www.baseball-refe...

Hope to see Karen Drew bought out. Might watch channel 4 again. Go soak your head if you can find a square bucket. Drew in a sleeveless top is Must See TV for me. Pretty harsh--she visited my place of employment earlier this year. I didn't speak to her directly, but she was treating everyone else l...

What an incredible amount of money. Does he really need it? How much will it add to ticket prices? Those are just questions that come to mind first, the older I get. But it's the result of a market-based, supply/demand economy, so if it's O.K. with the people paying for it (Lions owners, ticketholde...

His Night Music show from about 1990 was one of the coolest music shows ever. He had musicians from different genres, and sometimes they played together at the end of the show.

Here's a sample episode:

What, no TORK REPORT?

We'll have to put the analytics boys on this one, comparing the exit velocity, launch rate, humidity, temperature, stadium noise level, concession sales, and fan wi-fi usage at the time of his two home runs compared to all of his other at-bats.

We're at the 40-game mark that Sparky Anderson made famous (https://www.blessyouboys.com/2010/5/22/1483272/what-can-we-tell-about-the-tigers). How well has the 40-game mark predicted the season in the A.J. Hinch era: 2021: 14-26 (.350) + 63-59 = 77-85 (.475) 2022: 14-26 (.350) + 52-70 = 66-96 (.407)...

One year ago today, Ron made his triumphant return to WPON, after wandering in the wilderness for about two weeks (https://mibuzzboard.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=49112&start=16230#p739802). This latest gig at this classic oldies station proved for the last time that Ron could survive any kind of...

Seven innings of a two-hit, eight strikeouts, shutout by 41-year old Justin Verlander against a Jake Rogers-less Tigers. Yes, one of these years that 2017 deadline trade will make the now short-order cook, Al Avila, & his fanboy Ron, look good. Jake has been hitting well lately. But Scott Harris' l...

On Friday night on 97.1, two extremely emotional extroverts talked with each other: Mr. Positive and Marc Ryan Mr. Positive lavished praise on Marc for his upbeat style, leading to Marc asking Mr. P. to be his agent. After the call, Marc repeated Mr. P.'s mantra about "going for your dreams." What'...

What a miserable game.

Blowing a late lead at home to a team that came in 11 games below .500.

And appearing in truly ugly uniforms.

"You keep pouring joy into it, and it gets better and better."

Nice words.

Great show. Probably the best AARD show I've ever heard. But it has to be, because it's the first one I've ever heard from beginning to end.
