Chris McCosky Admits He’s No Journalist

It takes a lot to shock me these days, but I woke up this morning to an article in the Detroit News by Tigers beat writer Chris McCosky that absolutely floored me. It wasn't surprising that McCosky once again went to bat for outgoing Tigers manager Brad Ausmus. I've been expecting that garbage from "Officer Barbrady"…

Ausmus Fired When It Doesn’t Matter Any Longer

You will get no celebration from me now that the Detroit Tigers have FINALLY parted ways with their mimbo imbecile manager Brad Ausmus. I am not going to give Al Avila credit for doing something Dave Dombrowski should have done 1,083 days ago. October 5, 2014. That's the date the Dope from Dartmouth should have been…

It Was The Worst of Times

Next month I will turn 45 years old which means I didn't really become fully aware of the Detroit sports teams until the late 70s. Yes, I fondly recall Mark "The Bird" Fidrych mowing down opposing hitters while having conversations with the baseball, but I was four years old. For all I…

Irrelevant Ashley Burchfield Is a Real Dipshit

This is how irrelevant frat-boy-looking blogger Will Burchfield is to me. The online content creator for this city's pathetic excuse for a sports station is also a walking, talking Ambercrombie & Fitch ad with fewer than 1,000 Twitter followers who actually Catfished HIMSELF through a DSR Instagram account last year. And I didn't even bother…

The Victor Martinez Problem

I know this might come as a shock to some Detroit sports fans who buried the Tigers earlier this week after an awful stretch in which their bullpen and defense competed to rip our hearts out, but after 18 games the team is currently in a first place tie with…
