The Tigers are driving me crazy!!

Well, the weekend has you so high as a Tiger fan and Tues-Thurs put you 6 feet under! What a crazy last 3 games. Come on Tigers! Beat the stinkin Royals! Just as in '06 the Royals jump up and kick the Tigers around for 3 games. Magic Number is down to 18 because the Twins are not much good either. Now home for the Jays and the stinkin Royals again. Nate RObertson takes the hill tonight and I hope Nate keeps up the good work he has shown lately. It is good to see Nate coming back. The Lord has taken this believer down a crazy path the last couple of seasons and Nate's surgery on his elbow may have done the trick taking the mass out that they found. Let's hope so, they can use a healthy Nate Robertson the rest of the way.

The bats went silent for the most part in KC. The Pen was horrible and I wonder if Miner will see the hill the rest of the way? Only in a blow out if I am the manager! Come on Jim, don't let the guy pitch! Bring in Eddie Bonine first...anyone but Miner......okay okay...sour grapes but yesterday the TIgers score to go ahead 4-3 and Musing Miner gives up a dinger and the lead goes away just like that....DO NOT LET HIM PITCH......

The Whitehouse Campus of CedarCreek will be opening in less than a month. Lots of work to do and not much time to do it....Can't wait....

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Tigers go to KC tonight after a weekend that could have put them into the playoffs. After playing horrible on the road since June the Tigers made it 2 road series in a row with a Sweep of the Ray in Tampa! What great wins. Behind in every game, comebacks in every game including the walk off by Brandon Inge in the 9th inning on Sunday. A thing of beauty. Pitching continues to lead the way for the Tigers as the starters and the pen rack up victories, saves and holds! Could this be the year? Who knows. I am thinking they have a chance because of the pitching and defense. Not sure about the offense and if they can continue to improve, but they need to.

KC...the Tigers must beat them, no matter what, no stumbling, no reading of news clips...just wins. Currently on a 6 game win streak. Robertson will be in the rotation for the time being with Armando going to the pen to try and find himself. Was last year not a real sign of the Armando we know? Could a trade be in the works in the off-season? Can the Tigers get to the World Series and "win one" for Ernie Harwell. Such sad news to hear that Ernie has cancer. Please put Ernie and his wife Lulu in your prayers. Ernie is one of the best people on earth, period.

Go Tigers!!!!!!!!!!!

What a kick in the pants............

Ernie Harwell has cancer.....inoperable cancer. He is such a good man. A man of integrity. A man that Walks with Jesus and will be with Him when he goes on to meet his Savior. I think of the times I fell asleep listening to Ernie when the Tigers were playing on the West Coast. The time we got to meet him in Lakeland when the Kids were still in school. What a gentleman. Married to the same woman, Lulu for 68 years. I will miss the voice but it will live forever in my mind. I will cherish my "Ernie Harwell Audio Scrapbook" and will be able to listen to "that voice" forever.

Please pray for Ernie during these times. He would do the same for you.

Sept 1 and still in First Place

Well Tiger fans. Pinch yourself. The Tigers are still in first place by 3 1/2 games on Sept 1. Can they survive. Not if you read Lynn Hennings column in the Detroit News this morning! I kind of agree with him that the Twins are scary. They seem to have the Tigers number. The M & M boys and Cuddyer....Span....Crede....and Nathan to close it out. The Tigers need to keep winning and don't look in the rearview mirror. Get some hitting going and try to get WashedUp Washburn turned around. Can it happen? We can only hope!

Go Tigers....playoffs in '09....

Here we go again.............

Tigers, Tigers Tigers, they are something else. What team will show up today or tonight? Who knows? Will they ever hit the ball consistently? All I know is that they are 3.5 games up on the White Sox and 6.5 up on the Twins. 35 games to go and if they can continue to win at home, they shoudl be in good shape. We will see, and time will tell.

Pitching has been very good the Dombroski went and got a bat in Aubry Huff. so far he has not hit a lick, but who knows. In a week the rosters expand and we will see what happens. Can they do it? Can they make the playoffs? Can they have a miracle happen? Can they get hot at the end of the season? Lately it has been the opposite of that the last few years.

Can wait to see how it all plays out............GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a Weekend

The Lord will not give us more than we can handle....but He did not say he would not take us to the edge...we just won't fall off. Things have been crazy since the last post. Mom says she went to Walmart to buy a gun to shoot her neighbor....she has been in the hospital and is now staying at our house....what a mess. she has lost it completely, or just has become so selfish, not quite sure where the truth is.....

Well, on the baseball side of life, the Tigers got 2 of 3 from the Twins...miracle of miracles...The stupid Twins got Carl Pavano...cy young winner if he only pitched against the Tigers. It is August 10 and the TIgers are in first place by 3 games. Big pennant race in the Central Division. Let's hope for the best against the Red Sox in Fenway.

Back from the 4th!!!!!!!!!

Man was it hard to get out of bed this morning. Even tho my Tigers are in first place after a horrible 3-6 road trip to Houston, St Louis and MN. Man I hate the Metro Dome. I am glad that will be gone after this year. Well, things are a bit slow and no one wants to work. Let's just cruise on the motorcycle and watch baseball. That is what summer is all about.

Right now things are going well. Jack and Jake just keep getting bigger and they are a blast. Actually Jake is spending the night with Grandpa and Grandma this Friday! Oh Boy....sounds like I might be sleeping in the basement! He is such a funny boy. Just got a video of him "driving the boat" that was good. Got a great Photos of Jack with his I love grandpa signs...awesome little guy.

Well a 6 game home stand and the TIgers have won the last 6 in a row at home! Keep it up Tigers! Royals and Indians in town this week
