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
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!
Lineup:
CF Austin Jackson
RF Torii Hunter
3B Miguel Cabrera
1B Prince Fielder
DH Victor Martinez
LF Andy Dirks
SS Jhonny Peralta
C Alex Avila
2B Omar Infinte
P Justin Verlander
GO TIGERS!!!!!!

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.

VACATION!!!!
Baseball fans unite! It is time for the yearly pilgramage to Lakeland, Florida to watch my beloved Detroit Tigers play baseball. 2 weeks of sunshine, baseball, hotdogs, peanuts, strawberrry shortcake, beaches, ducks, and BBQ! Does it get better than that? Not a chance!
On a serious note, Rose and I are so blessed to be able to do this. What a great time for her and I to get away and just have the 2 of us. No pets, kids or anything, just us. For the 7th year in a row we are headed to see the Tigers and God willing we will be going for a long time. This is the 3rd year we have taken the Goldwing with us. Nothing better than getting in some miles in the dead of winter riding in the Sunshine!
We will go see some old friends and make new ones. See the same people working at the hotel and ballpark. Jerry the breakfast guy at the hotel. The lady with the wooden spoon checking Rose's baseball bag for forbidden snacks...(she never finds them). The same guys scalping tickets. Lakeland has changed over the years. Lots more fences and security. Lots more people and lots more nut jobs around the ballpark. funny to say that, but it is true.
Some of the characters we will see. Like the owner of Primos pizza on Combee. The guy is great and makes this trip to this local establishment worth the trip. Not to mention a great pizza! The same great sweet tea and BBQ at many different places.
Go Tigers! Please don't let us lock the keys for the motorcycle in the back tank this year! I would rather spend that money on strawberry shortcake!

Tiger Baseball
The season is approaching and the Tigers appear to have the makings of another run at the World Series. The last 2 the Tigers have been in have been something of stinkers. They don't need a week off in between the playoff and the World Series.
Let's hope they do well this year and stay away from the injury bug. With Victor and Torii now in the lineup this team has the look of a champion
