10:17 AM  Welcome to the '971theticket' room.

10:19 AM  Matt Dery ban: Hello Everyone

10:24 AM  Jamal ban: Do you like the Indians chances in the playofs?

10:27 AM  jimmy ban: hey there is no indians playoffs lol

10:27 AM  Matt Dery ban: Wow.  Right out of the gate I get hazed huh?

10:27 AM  jimmy ban: lmao yep

10:28 AM  Brian ban: You think there will be an NBA season this year?

10:28 AM  Matt Dery ban: Tigers are the best team in the division

10:28 AM  jimmy ban: so what do u think nba or no nba this year?

10:28 AM  Matt Dery ban: not even close

10:28 AM  Matt Dery ban: Brian.. Yes

10:28 AM  Matt Dery ban: Jimmy.. I do think there will be a season

10:28 AM  Matt ban: I know you have said there is an umpiring problem with baseball, what would your proposed fix be?

10:28 AM  Matt Selke ban: Do you believe that the starting lineup of the Pistons could possibly be Knight-Stuckey-Daye-Jerebko-Monroe ? Stuckey's Twitter says he is staying in Detroit.

10:29 AM  Rusty06 ban: I'm typing to sell a Westinghouse thermometer, it measures barometric pressure, preciptiation, measures humidity, also measures cloudiness, measures geostationary satellites, doppler radar, the frost

10:29 AM  Brian ban: Tell the boys to advertise this on the air, Mike has about 100+ guests when he does these things

10:29 AM  Rusty06 ban: index, water vapor, measures the jet streams, measures pollen index, clear air turbulence

10:29 AM  Matt Dery ban: Matt... I think that umpires shoulod be publicly reprimanded and scrutinized by MLB officials and I think we need a universal strike zone

10:29 AM  Mitch ban: Have you seen any of the C-list tape Deadspin has been putting up the past few day, if so, did you like it?

10:29 AM  Rob ban: What are the chances Brad Penny gets burned in effigy before the playoffs start..?

10:29 AM  Matt Dery ban: Matt Selke... BAM

10:30 AM  Rusty06 ban: If your a farmer it measures crop yield, radio active aerosols, volcanic gasses ...

10:30 AM  Matt Dery ban: Mitch.. Not a big fan of deadspin anymore.  Really not.  I prefer www.thebiglead.com

10:30 AM  Matt Dery ban: Rob.. No way penny is on the playoff roster.  Below should be the long man.  I am talking as if I care.  LOL

10:31 AM  Matt Dery ban: Hey Rusty

10:31 AM  Matt ban: Really, a universal strike zone? I think the element of human judgement makes the strikezone what it is. IMO. I do not like the idea of replaying fair/foul calls though

10:31 AM  Mitch ban: Good plug Matt (that's what she said). I'll check it out

10:31 AM  KansasCityJoey ban: Can we have Virtual Terry back, please?

10:31 AM  Rob ban: It's OK.. V-Mart and Peralta will represent for you... ;)

10:31 AM  Matt Dery ban: Matt.. YES!!  why is it some nights some umps call a low strike a strike and others dont?  Its a joke

10:31 AM  Matt Dery ban: Joey.. I will work on it for you

10:32 AM  Rusty06 ban: Hey, Matt, got any big plans for Halloween next month?

10:32 AM  Matt Dery ban: Rob.. Victor is a god.  He's the man.

10:32 AM  Matt Dery ban: Rusty.. I know what a big fan of Halloween you are

10:33 AM  chachie ban: With Kinney going to MLBN; how much longer until Baseball Tonight (yankees/Red Sox daily)  finally goes away?

10:33 AM  Matt ban: I guess we agree to disagree on that then. I do agree with you though that they need to be publically reprimanded. Especially for how the handle situations with players and managers

10:33 AM  Matt Dery ban: Chanchie.. i still like BBTN.  Good show.  But, Amsinger and Harold and Plesac and Mitch and those guys on MLB are awesome

10:33 AM  chachie ban: totally agree, thanks

10:34 AM  Mitch ban: Do you have any pumpkin candles for sale Rusty?

10:34 AM  Brian ban: Which teams do you see making it to the World Series?

10:34 AM  Matt Dery ban: Matt.. I do NOT want too much instant replay.  slows the game down.  NFL replay is a JOKE.  games now take forever.

10:34 AM  Hartland Greg ban: Hear you like cupcakes...What is your favorite?

10:34 AM  Hank ban: Dery You enjoy listening to Mitch Williams. I think he's awful

10:34 AM  Matt Dery ban: Greg.. Just baked

10:34 AM  jimmy ban: when is the live chat gonna happen with the ticket chicks lol

10:35 AM  Matt Selke ban: Hey Dery, do you still periodically still get mad over the Casey Anthony? Will you watch her itnerview when she finally does it out of curiosity?

10:35 AM  Matt ban: i agree, especially with fair/foul calls. What happens if a ball is ruled foul and is in fact fair after replay? That would be a debacle

10:35 AM  Brian ban: Just Baked is awesome. They just opened one up in Troy

10:35 AM  Matt Dery ban: Brian.. Last year I picked Texas (swear to god) and I just had a good vibe on them in late September.  I do not have a real feel on the AL right now.  But in the NL.. Philly has to be the pick

10:36 AM  chachie ban: Philly's starting rotation or the Orioles in the 70's?

10:36 AM  Matt Dery ban: Matt Selke.. I am done with that scumbag

10:36 AM  Matt Dery ban: Chachie.. Orioles

10:36 AM  chachie ban: bam!

10:36 AM  Rob ban: How do you not strangle Valenti daily?

10:37 AM  Matt Dery ban: Rob.. Mike is great to work with.  He is insane.. but so is Terry in his own way.  But they both respect me and I respect them and we have fun

10:37 AM  Brian ban: Lenny just called into 97.1 again

10:38 AM  Matt Dery ban: Jimmy.. ask Evan our webmaster.  He is the pimp

10:38 AM  Matt Dery ban: Hank.. Mitch is okay.

10:38 AM  Seth ban: When you gave Richard Hamilton a fist bump following a Pistons game last year, did you also say, "Good job Buddy."

10:38 AM  Markp ban: Yo Deez - In 1994 a smallish point gaurd on the Orange Varsity Men's basketball team hit a legendary three pointer after the game was disrupted by a bench clearing brawl. Did that guy go D1?

10:38 AM  Matt Dery ban: Brian.. Lenny the old Pistons postgame caller?  wooooooo.  siren

10:38 AM  chachie ban: What do you think about the moneyball movie coming out? I'm geeked about it.

10:38 AM  Matt Dery ban: Seth.. NOPE

10:39 AM  Matt Dery ban: Chachie.. My wife and I are NOT big movie goers.. but she is going to join me in going to the theatre to see it.  I am excited!

10:39 AM  Matt Dery ban: Mark.. No he did not.  BUT, the kid is a legend now in the sales game

10:40 AM  Markp ban: True. Yessah....

10:40 AM  Matt Dery ban: Yessah back at cha P

10:40 AM  Matt Dery ban: By the way.. for all you Tigers fans out there.. I better not see David Pauley on the playoff roster either.  Agreed?

10:40 AM  Toby ban: How long do you think it will take for this new regiem for the Pistons to turn this franchise around and make them into a contender again?

10:41 AM  Matt Dery ban: Toby.. The key was getting lucky and landing Brandon Knight.  I don't know how this new CBA is going to work.. but I do think a hard cap is good for the Pistons

10:41 AM  chachie ban: do you think the Royals will be a contender in 2013 if they can keep those young players? I hope they can rise again.

10:42 AM  chachie ban: division contender that is

10:42 AM  Matt Dery ban: Chachie.. I LOVE the Royals position players.. but I do not see any of their young arms yet being "locks" to be solid.

10:42 AM  Matt Dery ban: and Ned Yost is lousy at handling a bullpen

10:42 AM  Hank ban: Favorite Storage Wars character?

10:42 AM  Matt Dery ban: just ask the Brewers fans

10:42 AM  chachie ban: so true

10:42 AM  Toby ban: so do you think the NBA will become more like the NHL with 1 or 2 stars on the team with the rest just filler to stay under the cap?

10:42 AM  Matt Dery ban: Hank... No question Barry Weiss.  Brandi is cute as well.  Jared bothers me at times

10:43 AM  Seth ban: Was justice served in the Casey Anthony case?

10:43 AM  Cowboy in Windsor ban: Matt,what do you think of your former WDFN caller,"Cowboy in Windsor,"now a Ben Maller Show star?

10:43 AM  Rob ban: If the final choice comes down to Pauley or Perry, I'd go Pauley.  Perry is a train wreck.  Never seen a straighter fastball.  At least Pauley had half a good season with Seatlle to hope he falls back

10:43 AM  Matt Dery ban: Seth.. 100 percent NOT served.  Just a disgusting time in our system

10:43 AM  Hank ban: My thoughts exactly. I think Dave and Darryl are garbage too. But Brandi is a cutie in those dresses but Barry takes the cake.

10:44 AM  Matt Dery ban: Great show

10:44 AM  Seth ban: Acta or Leyland manager of the year?

10:44 AM  chachie ban: chances on baseball ever having a salary basement?

10:45 AM  Tankimus ban: I'd rather see Pauley over Perry.

10:45 AM  Matt Dery ban: Seth.. I think what Manny Acta has done is downright impressive.  I do.  I am a fan.  But, Leyland deserves it too.  His team won the division and some pegged them for third place

10:45 AM  Cowboy in Windsor ban: Matt,Cowboy not only has a two-minute six a.m. (show's closing call) "Cowboy's Corner" segment,his name is on Maller's new "Maller Nation" T-shirt which can be bought on E-Bay!!!!

10:45 AM  Matt Dery ban: Tankimus.. I'd rather see both

10:46 AM  Matt Dery ban: or neither

10:46 AM  Matt Dery ban: Cowboy.. you are crazy man.  How you been?

10:47 AM  Sot ban: Do you think Leyland bunts enough?

10:47 AM  Seth ban: Camy Russell or Bingo Smith? Your thoughts

10:47 AM  Matt Dery ban: Yes I do Sot.

10:47 AM  chachie ban: best minor league stadium you have been to?

10:47 AM  Sot ban: Do you want my prediction on the MSU-UM game?

10:48 AM  Matt Dery ban: Seth.. ask Pat Caputo.. he is the expert on those "Miracle at Richfield" teams

10:48 AM  Matt Dery ban: chachie.. Thats a good one.  I know the worst.  Charlotte Knights.  Place is an outright dump

10:48 AM  Matt Dery ban: Went there when I called a WNBA game yesrs ago

10:48 AM  Toby ban: over under on how long before Valenti has a breakdown?

10:49 AM  Matt Dery ban: Toby.. He has actually mellowed.. I think

10:49 AM  Sot ban: I already blogged and podcasted about the Miracle at Richfield teams.

10:49 AM  Matt Dery ban: Sot misses the Gov.. That I know

10:49 AM  chachie ban: haha..i want to check out a minor league game next year but don't know where to go...heard fifth third field is among the best

10:49 AM  Sot changed their nickname to BobbyHigginson.

10:49 AM  BobbyHigginson ban: Diesel...Have you given up on the Tribe already?

10:50 AM  Matt Dery ban: Chachie.. I really like Victory Fiels in Indy.  thats pretty cool

10:50 AM  BobbyHigginson changed their nickname to McCoy.

10:50 AM  Matt Dery ban: I miss you Bobby.  seriously.. you were always good to me

10:50 AM  McCoy ban: Who's Matt Dery?

10:50 AM  chachie ban: i'll check it out, thanks

10:50 AM  CBSDetroitModerator mod: Matt Dery has 10 minutes left on the chat so make sure you get your questions in before 11am

10:51 AM  Matt Dery ban: CBS moderator is the king.  and he is sick today.  what a warrior

10:51 AM  Yourmom ban: What do you think of people who expect you to disregard your loyalty to the Tribe because you moved to the D?

10:51 AM  Hartland Greg ban: Geez...get a room.  does the CBS moderator sign your checks?

10:51 AM  Hank ban: Is that KingoftheKC?

10:51 AM  chachie ban: Whats priority for the Tribe for next season? Defence?

10:52 AM  Toby ban: Do you think Jimenez will turn it around next year or become a bust over time?

10:52 AM  Anonymous ban: Where did the nickname Diesel come from?

10:52 AM  chris ban: Matt, what can I do to not get run over by the Lions bandwagon?  It's gotten incredibly huge since last season.  It was upsetting to see a ton of fans leaving at the start of the 4th quarter.

10:52 AM  Matt Dery ban: I will say this yourmom... I do NOT get it?  I grew up loving that team and actually disliking the Tigers because they used to beat our butts when I was a kid.. so.. I don't get why people think I sho

10:52 AM  Matt Dery ban: hank.. you figure it out

10:52 AM  Hank ban: nice

10:52 AM  Matt Dery ban: chachie.. Tribe needs a RH bat and another starter

10:53 AM  Matt Dery ban: Toby.. He has not really pitched that poorly.  The one start against the Tigers here was gross.  I still like him

10:53 AM  chachie ban: how bad did the Ubaldo trade hurt the farm?

10:54 AM  Matt Dery ban: Anonymous.. Dave Pasch gave that to me at Syracuse when we worke4d together in college.. called me that at WDFN and Caputo really ran with it too and it stuck

10:54 AM  Matt Dery ban: Chris.. Lather up

10:54 AM  Toby ban: who has the better coney, American or Lafayette after a game?

10:54 AM  chris ban: been lathered in lions butter for years, finally broke down and bought season tickets

10:54 AM  Matt Dery ban: Chach.. Pomeranz is gonna be a stud.  that hurt.  But, we still have Scott barnes and Jeanmar and I think we will be okay.  I am not a big Dave Huff fan

10:55 AM  Matt Dery ban: Thats awesome Chris.

10:55 AM  Matt Dery ban: Toby.. I've only been once.  Lafayette's coney was very good

10:55 AM  Yourmom ban: Do you think Nate B should call it a satchel or a pouch?

10:55 AM  Matt Dery ban: ahhhhahahahahaha.  Yourmom.. wow.  Satchel!!!

10:55 AM  Toby ban: man purse Yourmom

10:55 AM  chachie ban: Thanks for the chat, Matt.  Great idea doing this.

10:56 AM  Matt Dery ban: Burleson is the king.  great dude.  I went to Cuse with his agent

10:56 AM  Anonymous ban: Does the drumming of John Adams ever get to you? It seems like it would be annoying for someone who attends Indians games semi-frequently.

10:56 AM  Stoney971 ban: Copernicus

10:56 AM  Matt Dery ban: I love John.  Met him many times and he is passionate and does not "over-drum".. only in key spots

10:56 AM  CBSDetroitModerator mod: Matt still has a few moments left in the chat get your final questions in for Le Mesa Grande

10:57 AM  Yourmom ban: are you really behind the comments on your Matt Dery fan page on Facebook?

10:57 AM  Hank ban: If Cleveland lost a professional team again. Losing which one would hurt the most? Least?

10:57 AM  Matt Dery ban: Yourmom.. yes.. those are MY own words.  Check out the facebook fan page!  Matt Dery (derynba)

10:58 AM  Stoney971 ban: What is a better spot  The Winking Lizard or Chellis

10:58 AM  Matt Dery ban: Hank.. Cleveland is a Brownstown.  Period.  They LOVE that team and its kind of nuts.  I feel for Browns fans.. I do.  I don't have the same passion for them anymore.  Cavs are a GREAT organization an

10:58 AM  Matt Dery ban: and tribe is doing things right too

10:59 AM  Matt Dery ban: Stoney.. I love the Lizard!!!  wings are great
