When Baseball Was Fun

It just took one swing of his right handed stick for the Cardinal’s 3rd sacker, DAVID FREESE, to enter
into the sanctuary of MLB’s HALL OF LEGENDS. It was the bottom of the 11th inning of a tied
9-9 game in the 2011 WORLD SERIES between the CARDS & RANGERS. The date was actually
very early [...]

Yep…23M is the amount that the Tigers will have to spend after CARLOS GUILLEN (13M) and MAGGS (10M)
wave goodbye. TWO MONSTER GOOD GUYS! That said, lets get back to today’s 23 million dollar question.
WBWF feels that their leadoff spot was HORRENDOUS!! It produced just under 200K’s plus a bushel
basket full in the [...]

Just when we’re fighting for a World’s Champioship the Tiger bats fall fast asleep. WHY?
Maybe it’s because their missing some important bats,, like for example:
BRENNAN BOESCH’S big left handed stick…it seems like his injury has been all but forgotten;
CARLOS GUILLEN, his switch hitting ability HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN;
MAGGLIO ORDONEZ, just when he was going 100% [...]

Our daughter, the marathon runner, who even ran in the Boston M, when asked to predict the score
of the Tigers 3-2 victory over the Yankees said, “I’m too scared to do it.” But not our Tiger anylist, Chuck
Milhem, from Arizona, who used his crystal ball and wrote: “The Tigers will score two runs in [...]

Our answer to the above question is to just sit down and make out next years DETROIT TIGER LINEUP. I tried it and I’m still feeling good.
Here’s the happy news.
1,,,,BRENNAN BOESCH R.F. He has speed and works the pitcher deep. Flirted with .300 before his injury.

Austin Jackson MUST obtain consistency from somewhere…where that is is anyone’s guess.
What the Tiger’s brain trust is hoping for is that it will come with time. And Jackson and the
Tigers have plenty of time. When this road runner becomes a steady .300 hitter with fewer
K’s, LOOK OUT! With all of [...]

I have a daily email dialogue going with three of my kids…AMY from Chicago, BOBBY II & JAMES ,
both from Chesapeake, Va. Listen to them after yesterday’s 6-5 miracle victory over the disbelieving
W.Sox (when last seen Ozzie was heading for the nearest funny farm) .
BOBBY, ” HOLY TOLEDO, BS [...]

LAST WINTER Dave Dombrowski came within a whisker of bringing in free agent ADAM DUNN and his homerun numbers to hit in the 5 hole
behind MIGUEL CABRERA. He didn’t because there was another free agent that he liked even better, VICTOR MARTINEZ. That, Tiger fans,
was a close call. The fact that there [...]

Those of you who regularly read this web site will remember how we
protested the use of the kid, Austin Jackson, as their leadoff hitter.
We called attention to the most glaring of all his weaknesses
was his inability to lead the pitcher into taking him deep into the count
and then swinging at bad pitches to strike [...]
