The All-Star game was a very large blow-out this year. The American League couldn’t score a run if they tried. A lineup that included some of the league’s best hitters, Prince Fielder, Josh Hamilton, Jose Bautista and even Miguel Cabrera. An all-star (for lack of a better term) pitching staff including the likes of Justin […]

Ordonez Retires
[mlbvideo id=”12602373″ width=”400″ height=”224″ /] This moment is something Detroit Tigers fans will hold onto for years to come (it has been 6 years since it happened). They will store it in their hearts near the feeling of winning the World Series in 1969 and 1984. They will reflect on it with the same love […]
Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend
There is this saying that “Diamonds are a girls best friend.” Some girls would like diamond jewelry. It’s shiny and pretty and sparkles in the light. That’s not the kind of diamond I want. I want to spend my days on the baseball diamond. It may not be shiny, but occasionally it sparkles in the […]
Moneyball
How can you not be romantic about baseball? There is something about this movie that just gets me every time. I could easily place this movie on the list of the best things I’ve bought. And I think it deserves every award that it has been nominated for. When Scott Hatteberg hits that homerun, I […]
I’m a fan of…Clayton Kershaw
I may be a huge fan of the Detroit Tigers, but I also love reading about what other players and clubs are doing. And after reading an emotional article about Clayton Kershaw, the Cy Young winning pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, I may have a favorite player in the National League. The article, entitled […]
My version of a cathedral
These old ballparks are like cathedrals in America. We don’t have big, old, Gothic cathedrals like they do in Europe. But we got baseball parks. – Jimmy Buffett I miss Tiger Stadium. I miss the way I could see it as I drove to the game – even the ones at Comerica Park. I miss […]
Ryan Braun 50-Game Suspension
The following article stirred up a lot of emotions in me: Ryan Braun Tests Positive I’m pissed. Ryan Braun was named the National League Most Valuable Player, but he knew that he was going to be getting a 50-game drug suspension. This is not okay. Under no circumstances is this right. Should they go as far […]
Suh’s Publicity
I wish the Lions were getting better publicity. The quote, “any publicity is good publicity” doesn’t fit this situation well. Ndamukong Suh gets suspended for stomping on a player. Then he gives a crappy apology that doesn’t even mention the other player’s name. Saying I’m sorry to my fans just isn’t enough for me.
Detroit Lions vs. Tim Tebow
I’m a Detroit sports fan through and through. If the team is from Detroit I root for them. It doesn’t matter what sport it is, even if I don’t like it, if the team is from Detroit I cheer for them. But occasionally there are a few players that I like. I like Tim Tebow. […]
Detroit Tigers Baseball
It’s the day after my favorite team lost the American League Championship Series to the Texas Rangers. I was heartbroken, sad, and just frustrated. Every game this series was close and then my Tigers get blown out of the water, 15-5, in Game 6. My heart just ached.
