Re: I-375 deconstruction is crony capitalism in action
The proposed $300 million deconstruction of I-375 is not about "restorative justice." The Black Bottom enclave is long gone. Those who were displaced many decades ago will see zero benefit, monetary or otherwise. For Duggan, Whitmer and others to even suggest this project is about social justice is...

Re: Detroit Tigers 2024
I was sitting in a Leo's Coney Island one day, and this young guy mopped the floor by my booth about four times. When the waitress brought my bill, I mentioned this. With irony in her voice, and a twinkle in her eye, she said, "It's part of a process..." I'm starting to get the same ironic feeling a...

Re: Ron Cameron
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...

Re: Detroit Tigers 2024
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...

Re: Local 4 buyout packages
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...

Re: Goff $212M/4 years
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...

Re: RIP David Sanborn
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:

Re: Detroit Tigers 2024
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.

Re: Detroit Tigers 2024
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...

Re: Ron Cameron
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...
