Do You Believe in Magic?? May 11, 2016 Because today on Mother’s Day at Comerica Park, I renewed my vows to Tiger Baseball, completed with the sprinkling of my childhood dog’s ashes in centerfield – and it was magical. Exhibit A) Justin Verlander. I’d never seen #35 pitch in person. He did not disappoint, getting […]
So, Detroit fans: is this fun for you? Maybe since none of you even live in the city anymore, the Tigers – and better yet Lions, Red Wings and Pistons may as well be downtown: you’ve abandoned them and don’t give a fuck – call it “White Flight.” Just admit it, Detroit: you don’t really […]

If you are forced to watch Fox Sports Detroit because it’s all we have for our local teams, then you can commiserate with oldschool and I. Here’s the snarf who can’t stop smiling, Trevor Thompson:
Right now, we’re 3-0 and in perfect position to stop: remember last year; look: we started this hot in 2015, too; AND LISTEN: SEE WHAT’S GOING ON! Now, as a child, I learned that phrase at “Safety School,” and because baseball is just a kid’s game, the strategy is often elementary. All we need to […]
So, it’s not the Palestine-Israel conflict, but seeing my Tigers on opening day created a log-jam at centerfield with the Pistons on TNT at the same time. (NO, that analogy DOES NOT need to make sense!) For real though, oldschool & I were on another Justin Verlander ride and our poor pushing for the playoffs […]
The Tigers: maybe the best team in Detroit history has YET to win a ring. Meanwhile, division mate Kansas City hoists the World Series trophy and back-to-back AL Pennants. The Lions: bye, Megatron. Detroit continues to be pessimistic about their football team, despite having the best QB in the NFL and an array of talent. […]
“I was literally on the airplane, trying to breathe to get rid of butterflies,” [Ian] Kinsler said Tuesday morning before the first full-squad practice. “I couldn’t get rid of them.” Some of it was nerves: Did he do enough to prepare? Did he work hard enough? “That’s always in the back of your mind, regardless […]
Even with our lousy manager at the helm, Al Avila has upgraded our bullpen, lineup, and rotation to again put us in elite company. To be 100, there’s not even close to another team this good on paper. HIRE GIBSON.
Ian Kinsler (2B), J.D. Martinez (RF), & formerly from Detroit Yoenis Cespedes (LF) are all among the top three finalists at their respective positions for a Golden Glove Award. The winners will be announced Tuesday the 10th at 7:00 PM ET on ESPN2. First, let’s compare the top three second basemen: Kinsler played in 153 […]
COME ON!
#1 By the Detroit Tigers NOT pulling their swagger cart along, instead allowing Brad Ausmus to dump us like dead weight along the highway. Geesh. And we will begin there, because the Tigers are the perfect indictment as to everything wrong in baseball, prolifically the American League. What happened to this guy? Didn’t I beat […]
Our Tigers G starting pitcher apparently has thyroid cancer, and will undergo surgery to remove the growth. I've been debating for months as to how or even if I should share this with people. – I'm a firm believer in the power of prayer. So now, I'm asking for prayers. – A few months ago, after […]
