Holy Crap Marie

Can you believe it. THe TIgers blow a lead again in the 9th. Feranando to the rescue....my spelling is bad....because I am mad!!!!!

4-2 lead in the 9th and Fernanado does it again. Listen to WMTR in the morning and I am sure Max will play Fernanado by Abba! HE must not close in 2009!

I still have tickets to 2 games next week! Any takers? Free TIckets, free tickets!!!!

waiting on Lakeland 2009! What week in March will we go??????

Another game, Another blown lead

The dates change, but the results do not. Kyle Farnsworth again gives up a lead late in the game. Just release the guy now and tell him to go home. What a joke. And Pudge can't get a hit for the Yankees.....rotten trade for both teams. I think both team wish they would have kept the player they traded. The Tigers were kind of in contention when the trade went through and so were the Yankees....but alas they are both headed home in a couple of weeks.

Last night Dontrelle pitched and did fairly well and it will be interesting to see what happens in his next start. He walked too many, but came through when he had too and gave up the big 3 run HR, but little else. The bats scored enough runs again, but another lead blown in the 8th inning. The other night I have heard how many games they have blown after the 7th inning and if they would have won 1/2 of them, they would be in first place or really close to the lead and would be in contention, not 13 games back and 9 games under .500.

Do I want to watch the game tonight?? Don't know and not sure I care, but it is still baseball and I love baseball!!!!!

Oh What a Weekend!

What a weekend. Tigers are rained out Fri and Sat. Lose a DH on Sunday. Big comeback Sunday night from a 7-0 White Sox lead only to have The Launching Pad(Farnsworth) give up a Grand Salami in the bottom of the 8th. Story of the entire season. Geez, can't anyone get someone out!

Then the Buckeye meltdown against USC and the Lions, what can I say about the Lions except, from the words of Denny Green...The Lion are who we thought they were....terrible.

at least we got some much needed rain over the weekend and we made it to the final night at the Ridgeway Dairy Freeze! Gotta have some!

Tonight starts a 3 game series in Texas. Willis on the mound....could be a long night as ususal...

Almost September

The pennant race is nearing an end and the Tigers have not been in "it" for weeks. They seem to be going through the motions these days. Only a few of the "millionaire" players seem to care much. Disappointing season to say the least. Who would have thought this team would be out of it before Sept 1?

The Buckeyes play this Sat agaist Youngstown St...what a challenge. How much will Pryor Play? No one is saying. How many yeads for Chris Wells in game 1.

Here is to a Rays vs Cubs World Series....and a National Championship for the Buckeyes!

It is Over

Well you can stick a fork in the Tigers for sure. They are done. gary Sheffield is griping and Leyland is firing back. The clubhouse is gone and everyone is ready to go home. Last night was a great example. Verlander pitches rotten and no one hits. 7-2 Toronto victory and the Tigers are 8 back and dead. 2 games under .500 for this lineup? Give me a break. Send them all home and bring up the MudHens, at least they would be greatful to be in the big leagues.

Not everyone is that way. Palanco, Maggs, Miggy and Granderson can stay. Maybe Inge, Carlos and Marcus. About everyone else, see you in the Spring. When I was in Lakeland this spring who would have thought this type of season was even possible? Not me! They were tearing the cover off the ball, pitching fairly well and playing good defense. That is all gone now, all gone.

As the leaves begin to change colors we will again wait for the "Voice of the Turtle" to be heard in our land.

See ya in 2009!

What really matters.

Well the TIgers have lost the last 2 games it they are horrible, terrible and miserable! The bullpen is unbelievable and Kyle Farnsworth is not the answer. I just can't hardly watch the games. I can't stand it, just can't stand it.

On another note, continue to pray for Tyson Aschliman and son TJ. Tyson lost his wife to cancer about 10 days ago and it is hard for him. He has a new blogspot. www.tysonaschliman.blogspot.com

Please lift him up in prayer.

August 1st - Where is Summer Going?

Well it is Aug 1 and summer is in mid stream, but going fast. Kind of like the Tigers. Pudge gets traded for Kyle Farnsworth and the TIgers give away games in Cleveland. The Tigers play the Rays and the White Sox the next 2 series and that could tell the season one way or the other. Pretenders or contenders. Time will tell.

A good friend and co-worker, Tyson Aschliman lost his wife Leslie to Cancer this past weekend and it has been tough to think about anything else. Please continue to pray for Tyson and his son TJ as they ajust to life without mom. She will live in their hearts forever and she is no longer suffering. Last night I got to spend some time with Tyson and TJ at a company outing that had been postponed but Tyson wanted to do, so we did it. It was a great time to get to chat and say how sorry we are for the loss. It was also fun to play catch with TJ. He loves baseball and the Cubs. He and his cousins were having fun in the yard and that was the best part of the evening just playing catch. My heart goes out to them.

Well on the Rays and the Pale Sox...Tigers must win 4 of the 6 to be in conention.
