Max was really good for the Tigers last night again. Scherzer was awesome again last night and now stands at 10-0 on the season. If not for Papa Grande he would be 11-0. after 6 innings last night Drew Smyly came in and shut the door with 9 up and 9 down 3 innings of no hit ball. What a find Smyly has been in the bullpen. Time will tell if it continues.
Miggy hits a bomb on the first pitch he sees after returning home from the road. He now has 71 RBIs on the season. AJax is also a welcome back addition to the lineup because of his return to spur the offense and he was 3-4 and is 7 for 17 since his return last Friday night in Minnesota.
Avila to the DL is a blessing in disguise I do believe. This allows the Tigers to send Alex on a "rehab" assignment to Toledo without disgracing him with a demotion to Toledo. We will see if Bull Durham can work some magic with Alex.
5 games up on June 17th...can't be that! GO TIGERS!

Oh PAPA!!!!!!
When will the Tigers send Papa Grande packing? My guess is by the end of June. If it was me, he would be gone today Players have lost confidence, and if I was Verlander, I would refuse to come out of a game when I had the lead! Jim, do us all a favor and keep him in the pen.
What a great weekend! Tigers win 2 of 3 in MN and head home to play Baltimore. Come on Tigers keep it going.
Trying to plan our next vacation? Where should the Goldwing head next?

Almost May 1
Hello Tiger Fans! Great game on Sunday night. Love Kruk's call of the Miggy HR! Fister on spot, good pen and timely hitting!
Tonight it is the Twins that come to town and we will see how the Tigers react to the big weekend against the Braves. Can the hitting continue? Can the starting pitching continue this good and can Papa Grande return to 2011 form? If Yes is the answer we will be in good shape this year.

Opening Day 2013. Great expectations for the Tigers. Could this be the year they win the first World Series since 1984? Almost 30 years ago. Can you believe it! This could be the year.
MLB what are you thinking? Opening in MN on April 1st? 30 Degrees today as JV goes to the mound to get the season underway. Could this weather pose a problem? Time will tell. I would think the players just want to get the games started. I know the fans do. I can start a fire in the basement and watch the game in the warmth of the fire! Go Tigers! Here we go! Get it started!

Winter
winter just continues to linger on and on. that stupid groundhog knows nothing at all does he? snow blowing around, wind, cold, why am I not still in Lakeland, FL?
I am ready for opening day for sure. does anyone care about the WBC? not me, I really don't care if the USA gets to the finals or not, but it is baseball on TV, so of course I watch. I listen to Dan and Jim call the spring games and can't wait for the realy thing.
Oh I miss the early morning coffee at Crestwood and early morning walks around the neighborhood down there. Talking baseball with baserunning coach Jeff Cox and chats with Jim Leyland in the breakfast room. I miss friends made down there and especially old Jerry who works at Crestwood and his 80 year old sense of humor that just lifts your day. The girls at the front desk who were more than willing to help in the need for soap, towels or about anything else. Most of all I miss 70+ degrees and strawberry shortcake at Parksdale Farms.
Ducks, swans and pelicans are also missed as well as long walks around Circle B Bar Reserve to see wildlife in their habitat.

Back
After 2 weeks in Lakeland, it is back to work today. Does not seem possible it has been 2 weeks. Had a blast, found a few new places and all in all had a great time. Cool weather a couple of days, but all in all great weather.
62 degrees when we got home as we brought the good weather with us.....well for just a few hours and now cooler and rain. Time will tell how this goes and how soon spring really gets here to stay. I hope soon.
The Tigers need some relief help but the starters have been off the chart good early. Rick Porcello has been about the best of all. The Tigers should be the team to beat this year for the World Series, but time will tell.
