When Baseball Was Fun

Todd Smyly is often called Drew but WBWF is going to call him THE SURPRISE OF THE 2012 TIGER”S YEAR…Here’s why:
Born on June 13th, 1989, he quickly grew up at his home in Maumelle, Arkansas, into a 6′4″ southpaw.
In 2011 the Tiger’s brilliant team of scouts saw him pitching for the University of Arkansas and [...]

Yesterday I watched the special segment of the PRINCE FIELDER signing on national television and here’s my thoughts:
Mike Ilitch isn’t fooling around in his quest to bring bring his Tigers to the World Series Championship! And neither should we.
All true Tiger fans should jump on board his wagon of shrewd thinking…now hear this…TICKET SALES ARE [...]

Remember what happened to Edgar Renteria…Boston loved the hard hitting NL shortstop and so they brought him into
the American League for millions of $$$$ and he couldn’t hit a lick. And just like that he was gone!
A few years later the Tigers, not paying any attention to Boston’s mistake, traded promising young [...]

It’s going to be all about pitching. And Tiger fans that ain’t bad!
We believe that Dave Dombrowski might do some careful tweaking with the staff.
BUT NOT MUCH…as they stand right now, HERE’S THE FOUR BIG HORSES:
JUSTIN VERLANDER…2011 MVP & CY YOUNG AL AWARD WINNER…..Enough said;
DOUG FISTER…He’s an excellent #2 man who will grind out [...]

Since Pujols committed his act of treacherry and once more showed the ugly side of MLB…WBWF has been
recieving the same old “THAT’S IT ! I’VE SEEN MY LAST GAME OF BASEBALL” kind of letters. However this
avalanch of messages was stronger than I’ve ever seen. So I decided to do some reseach into the [...]

I’ve never gone this far out into the green leaves at the very end of a tree’s limb.
BUT HERE I GO…I’m predicting that DAVE DOMBROWSKI will sign YOENIS CESPEDES!!
HERE’S WHY: 1) MR. D. flew all the way to THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC to see him play;
[...]

If you’re a Tiger fan you probably know exactly which three problems we’re talking
about…the first one could become a hall-of-famer, ALEX AVILA. He has shown guts
(an important ingredient for a catcher) and listning ability. After the ALL-STAR break
he hit ,295, 82 RBI and came in with a .375 BA against the Rangers & [...]

Our inside source reports to WBWF that the TIGERS are pulling out all the stops to
acquire this five star 20 year Cuban outfielder…he has alreadfy loosened his ties from
Uncle Castro, as he fled to the Dominican Republic some time ago. Our source tells us
that the Tigers so called “slight interest” in YAENIS is [...]

WRIGHT or RAMIREZ at 3rd base for the Tigers?? Not even close. ARAMIS RAMIREZ in a land
slide. Here’s why….1) He’s a free agent and wouldn’t cost the Tigers any talent! 2) He swings
a bigger bat than WRIGHT. 3) Cost. Wright’s contract calls for around 15M. RAMIREZ would
cost about [...]

These are the six free agents the Tigers will talk about today at their management team meeting.
WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY SHOULD DO?
I don’t mind giving my opinion…not at all.
In the first place, SANTIAGO MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO WALK! He’s a key. Even as a replacement
player he was invaluable. Or why [...]
