When Baseball Was Fun

Companion web site for the book and Detroit Tigers Quarterly

HOUSTON, WE HAVE PROBLEMS!

Our space ship is sputtering because ENGINE’S B & S are mal-functioning. They
were tested earlier for defects and they were ok, but now our ship is in danger
of sinking off into space unless steps are taken immediately.

BONDERMAN & SCHERZER must not be allowed to continue in the starting
rotation. Their ERA’s are embarrasing and neither of them are pitching deep into
any of their starts. They are raising havoc with our bull pen and the offense simply
cannot score enough runs for them to win anything but the boobie prize.

As we see it the Tigers are 3 1/2 games out of 1st place this Monday morning and are
hanging in their by a very weak string. If these two pitchers are allowed to start
against the Yankees and/or the Red Sox LOOK OUT BELOW! It’s early but our season
could go up in smoke very rapidly.

We have some great arms in the bull pen in Coke and Bonine who at one time were both
starters. Gallaraga is champing at the bit down in Toledo, where he’s pitching like his
2008 form. What are we waiting for? What did you say? JEREMY BONDERMAN IS
PITCHING TONITE!! Wake me up after “BONDY” self destructs and we slip to 4 games
back.

To leave you on a positive note…try saying JACOB TURNER or CASEY CROSBY or
RAMON LEBRON or ANDY OLIVER over and over and by 2012 a world series flag will
be flying proudly over Comerica. These four will fit in with Verlander & Porcello to
give the Tigers the most feared pitching staff in all of baseball! Bet the farm on it.
