Tigers, Tigers, Tigers

What a game last night! 6-3 lead in the bottom of the 9th and Fernando goes Fernando and walks the first 3 batters! Lyon comes in gives up a double and the score is tied! Geez! Miggy comes up in the 10th and hits bomb and Tigers fans go to bed happy. With Verlander and Jackson going the next 2 nights, it would be great to take 4 of 5 from the White Sox! Take that Manager Guillen! But let's see what happens tonight and see if they can score some runs.

Interleague play starts and I say there is too much of that. I would rather play the Red Sox or Yankees again myself. May 6 games, not like 20! Pitchers hitting is good and I like the pureness of a no DH game...but come on not so many games outside the American League.

Less than 2 weeks till a vacation on the motorcycle. We are ready to go. Rose is painting the inside of the house and it is a mess. I just stay in the barn. I told her she needs to be done before we leave!

TIger Stadium is a Goner!

They can't do it can they? Oh yes they can if this artcle is any indication.

I so hoped they would save part of the stadium for a mueseum, save the field for kids to have a sort of "Field of Dreams" for the Tigers of old. but no, nothing is preserved, nothing cherished these days. Just tear away anything that once stood for something grand. Can they tear down Wrigley Field? How about tearing down the Green Monster at Fenway? Anything is possible I guess. At least the Yankees, and I really do hate them, did it right with their new stadium making it look like old Yankee Stadium. If the Tigers would have brought anything to the new stadium...over hang in RF or the closeness of the field and upper deck....something, but no we have a ferris wheel and merry-go-round! Wow, what a sad day it is.....Tiger Stadium....Ghosts of Tigers past, The Bird, Charlie Gerhringer, Hank Greenburg, Norm Cash...Rest in Peace....

I AM a Right Wing Extremist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well folks, I am here to tell you I am sick and tired of our Gov't being a part of our lives. I am willing to die for this cause. It happened once, it can happen again. This nation needs a large group of us, the silent majority, to stand up and kick some butt!!!! These idiots think we can't see what they are doing? Cap and Trade, tax increases, water tax, mileage tax, etc etc etc.

Fiat owns Chrysler? What a joke. I want to see Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Chucky Schumer, and Barney Frank carpool in a Fiat! This is insane. I will not buy a Chrysler or GM product as long as the Gov't owns a part of the company. Ford, Toyota, or Honda is what I will buy. Something "American" made....Not Gov't made. Wake up America, before it is too late. Can't you see what is happening? Losing freedoms and Libertys right and left. Next we will to be told when and what to eat. What to drive. How much we can drive. How much water we can use. You get the pitcure. It is out of control. This New President and Congress make Bill Clinton look like a Right Wing Extremist!. I need to start selling "I AM A RIGHT WING EXTREMIST!!!!" bumper stickers. No wait, that would probably put me in a higher tax bracket!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM NOT PC!!!!

It is Earth day. In honor of this I will:
Turn on all the lights in the house!
Burn a tank of gasoline!
Flush twice after each visit to the bathroom!
Burn the paper!
Start a bonfire!
Pour used motor oil on the ground!
Cut down a tree!
Buy a new gas guzzling 4 wheel drive SUV!!! and Pickup truck!!!!!!!!!!!

Earth Day is a farce. People think we can change things. We can't! Global Warming is not provable! It is a theory, not provable. I am sick and tired of being GREEN! It is stupid. Do you know that if we used only recycled paper, we would be out of paper as a nation in 30 days. That comes from the Sustainaility Conference at Walmart! It is a joke...I am sick of tree huggers.

Okay enough of this...I do feel better.

Go buy and READ Mark Levin's book. "Liberty and Tyranny"

Time to go burn some gasoline!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Happy Day!

What a great day this is! My son in law starts a new job Wednesday after 5 months of being unemployed without being able to get unemployment compensation. Awesome! Rose and I are so excited that he will be getting a paycheck soon! Things that we just take for granted most of the time. It has been a time of growth in their lives and a growth in their faith that God can take care of us and he does look after us in the time of need. Friends that have given them gift cards, diapers for Jack and food for the table. Saturday friends of their put up a new Storage Barn in the back yard. I know it was hard to accept this gift of love from friends at Cedarcreek, but it did happen and God was given the glory for it. What an awesome God we serve. People that give of themselves for those that are in need. Their old shed blew apart in a huge storm late last fall and the downer they felt as they did not know what would happen next. But God does answer prayer, maybe in His timeframe, but he does answer prayer!

The Tigers are on the West Coast tonight playing the Angels and they Tigers are playing well. They took 2 of 3 from a hot Mariners team and now go after the Angels. Pitching has been very good and getting better. Starters, bullpen, and hitters seem to all be on the same page and playing together. It appears that the pickup of Josh Anderson could be a great pickup by the Tigers. Time will tell how long Ramon Santiago stays hot and stays in the lineup at SS.

Go Tigers

Tigers, What else! 2

Well, the Tigers are on a roll and I am thinking '09 will be fine in Detroit. I have the bandwagon warmed up and getting ready to roll! Big comeback yesterday after being down 4-0 in the 8th inning and guess what the Tigers score 6 runs in the bottom of the 8th and Rodney comes in to slam the door! The Tigers are getting good pitching and timely hitting and have won 3 in a row and dare I say it, are in 1st place in the AL Central all alone at 4-3! How sweet it is! How about Brandon Inge. 3 more rbi's and another HR! 4 already! Cabrera? Is there a better hitter in the AL right now!

Worked all weekend out in the barn and doing some woodworking because it was just too stinkin cold to ride the Goldwing! When will the cold end? they are saying we will be in the 60's this weekend! IF so we are out of here.

Continue to pray for those out of work in this economy. God is good all the time, All the Time God is good!

Tigers, What else!

Well, one day into the season and it looked like '08 never ended. Same Tigers, same Verlander. Verlander overthrew, tried too hard, no time between pitches. He needs alittle Mark the Bird in him. Talk to the ball, deep breath, take a little time, walk around the mound. We will see how this turns out, only 1 game and 161 to go. But this could get ugly if last night was any sign of the future.

Just bad play was the rule for the night. Roy Halladay is the real deal and I wish he was the Tiger #1 starter. Lets see how Edwin Jackson does tonight. Everyone was hassling me this morning about how rotten the Tigers are. Hey, all they have to do is win 90 out of the next 161 and I will be happy..

Check back in a few weeks! Then we will see which Tiger team this is. Sparky always said you will know pretty well what you have after 40 games. I will take the 1984 start of 35-5....yeah right, I just don't want 0-7 again!

Go Tigers!
