When Baseball Was Fun

The Tigers are rolling is putting it mildly…The lights are all green and Christmas is in the air! They have won five in a row and are getting quality starts from their starters and wall bangers from their big bats! So, why shouldn’t the Tiger Fandom rejoice? After all the small bats of DIRKS, AVILA, [...]

If you are a Tiger fan you’re probably wondering what’s wrong with these guys? Ten & ten is not all that bad. Sure, I know it’s early is what I’ve heard both D.D. & J.L. tell us over & over this early in the season, as if we didn’t know it. But, it’s 20 games [...]

We have been watching ALEX AVILA closely since Spring Training began. Our conclusion is rather surprising…ALEX should hang it up! He does not deserve to be wearing a MLB uniform. His expressions tell the true story…he just doesn’t give a rat’s —- about the great game of baseball. Because of family he finds himself trapped [...]

The media, both TV & Newspaper, missed a good story. Umpiring behind the plate was the umpire that in our opinion was responsible for the biggest GAFF in Tiger history. What could be more blatant a GAFF than depriving a young pitcher from throwing a PERFECT GAME. And in so doing he even took a [...]

Jeff Kobermus is still drifting in the Florida winds. As it stands right now he probably has a leg up on his main competitor, QUINTON BERRY, as his biggest edge seems to be his ability to hit right handed as opposed to BERRY’S swinging from the left side. You see they are competing for the [...]

Coming right out of left field, this rookie is causing Jim Leyland some sleepless nights. Here’s why. The only way to keep him is to follow the MLB’s Rule Five guidline to keep him on the bench all year! JEFF KOBERNUS, a $50,000 steal, is proudly wearing the English “D” every which way but loose [...]

It’s nothing but snow as I look out my office window here in Chelsea, Michigan… But, wait. There’s nothing but sunshine coming up from Lakeland, Florida. Why is this? The Tigers won their opening Spring Training game, 2-1 over the mighty Atlanta Braves, THAT’S WHY. Even with Gerald Laird, the hitless former Tiger now wearing [...]

The most important questions that the Tigers face going into Spring Training, 2013, are as follows: 1) Who will be the number five starter; 2) Who will be the left fielder; 3) Who will be the back up catcher; 4) Who will be the closer; and 5) who will hold down the DP combo? 1) [...]

The Tigers have high hopes for a 22 year old 6’3 265 pound youngster from Venzuela. His name is BRUCE RONDON. The Tigers signed him as a 16 year old catcher, but soon found out that he didn’t belong behind the plate…but, the big kid did own a wicked fast ball. AL AVILA loves him [...]

Those so-called MLB experts who complained about the Tiger’s defense, LISTEN UP. Behind the plate there were no complaints. Alex Avila is one of the few great MLB Catchers. First Base, Prince Fielder is surprisingly agile and defends his area very well. Second Base, a huge improvement in Omar Infante! No more Ryan Rayburn here. [...]
