Babs is history. She sleeps with the fishes. Fogettabout her. 😉

I’m glad we’re not going to have another hurler undergoing Tommy John. If he kept it up though it would’ve only been at something like 116.

Clemens is creeping up on Tork’s HR total but not trying to upstage him on BA.

I like playing the Guardians more than the Indians.

I remember that well. I remember creating a fake news article about people rioting in downtown Detroit on behalf of Marcus Thames.

I don’t have any memories of Bobby Higginson except at the very end of his career. I lived 2000 miles away, had no way and no time to follow a generally disappointing team from a distance, a demanding profession, 4 children, many other pressing priorities etc. The Tigers didn’t come back on my radar until 2004. I might as well have been Tom Hanks on a desert island from 1987 to 2004.

Today’s uniforms.

I didn’t watch those games, but wow. That’s some uniform.

This is unexpected. Sweet.

Came up on my Facebook memories from exactly 8 years ago today.

I like the earthquake prediction too. We had a 6.5 in Idaho a couple years ago. I’d never felt one before. What was strange was that although the floor did sort of move what was most noticeable was that there was a seismic wave that went through the air 2 or 3 feet above the floor as if you were in the ocean where a wave comes through and lifts you up and then sets you back down. People who were driving didn’t notice anything. But if you’re sitting dead still snd not moving it’s a big deal when you do.

I saw a game at this ballpark a number of years ago when I was at a conference. We were treated to nice box seats. It was kind of antiseptic compared to the newer throwbacks to traditional parks. It was kind of like seeing a baseball game in a mall. But the amenities and the staff were phenomenal. Easily the most comfortable game I’ve ever witnessed anywhere even though it was lacking in other regards. It was of course 105° or something, but shortly before game time they retracted the roof and the ballpark still retained a very acceptable comfort level.

I’m tired of losing. It’s time to get Jurassic on all these $&@?#%€!

Wow, my radio feed is 5 pitches behind GameDay.

GO TIGERS!

It sucks how good teams have such an unfair advantage over lesser teams.

I’m getting optimistic; when do playoff tickets go on sale? <ducks>

**** yeah. 😉

Back in the day I’d be banning people and handing out tickets for shit like this. Now I even say shit. We don’t even have good trolls anymore. The old days were better.

I’ve done that with a wiffle ball. But never with a baseball. Maybe these new sometimes irregular balls make this a greater possibility.

Following this team is so hard. Maybe I need another hobby like an ant farm or needlepoint.
