Man, can we use a dose of that now?

Instead, we get AJ Hinch upset and taking exception to a question about the team not

being competitive in Kansas City.

Well, when you lose 8 to 3, 10 to 3, and 8 to 3, you're team not

competitive.

competitive. That's a negative 17-run differential for those wondering.

I mean, what on earth?

So I've asked the question, Rico's asked the question,

I mean did Hinch miss an opportunity here? At what point do we start to view him

as one of the problems? I don't know if I'm ready to go nuts on that. But if Chris is a problem and Scott's a problem, then AJ is probably a problem too.

Second of all, it was a question about, do you wish you heard a shred of passion from anyone

involved with your team. You've had a horrendous month of May, you 10 games out of first,

it's gone woefully and it sure feels like a

rebuild of a rebuild that's going to be re-tooled again. So why doesn't someone from this franchise just admit it or come out and say it?

Otherwise, I can't accept the quotes after the game yesterday.

And I promise you, while I don't want this place to be

anywhere other than Detroit, I only bring up the comps to other big baseball towns

for a reason. That stuff would never fly. If we were in New York and thank God

every day we are not because the city's falling apart the point I make to you is

this. If AJ made those comments in the post game as the manager of the Yankees

or Mets, he'd be on the back page of a New York Post in a clown nose. And I'm not telling you that's

respectful. I'm just telling you it's real. I mean it's a joke to me.
