Bye Bye Grilli Goodbye!

See Ya Grilli! And thanks for the parting shot to TIGERS Fans.

Between reaching for my TUMS in the First with Bonderman and going for a Sandwich in the Nineth with Jones.

Grilli was just to much to watch in the middle. Especially at Home.

The Fans go on Him because, he always would let in 2 or 3 runs in that were added onto someone else`s ERA. Then, He would settle in.

If you you look at His year end stats,they`re not bad.

He`ll probably end up being the 4 or 5 starter over there!

Good Luck Grilli. You`re a Good Guy.

And thanks for the Autograph last season.

We Still got Snow in the Keweenaw!

Is it just me, or does Jacque Jones really Suck?

My Cubbies Buddys were just as glad to get rid of Him, as they were to be rid of C-Mo.

I have to hand it to Thames, You don`t hear a peep out of Him.

I know Jones is a lefty, but to give up Thames Bat?

Stick Thames in for Sheffield. Sheffield is done as soon as those shots wear off! Keweenaw Fan

DOESN`T ANYBODY SEE THE SHEFFIELD`s DAY`S ARE NUMBERED? THREE CORTIZONE SHOTS LAST WEEK. AND AT LEAST 3 LAST YEAR. CORTIZONE SHOTS ARE THE LAST RESORT. AND IN THE LONG RUN, DOES NASTY THINGS TO YOUR CARTILAGE. I HARDLY THINK IT`s WORTH LEAVING HIM IN, JUST CAUSE HE TAKES a FEW WALKS. HE`s DEAD WEIGHT in THE 3 SPOT!!! I SAY to PLATOON the DH WITH the REST of THE LINEUP. AND DOES IT EVER LOOK GOOD THAT WE STILL HAVE INGE! THERE`S A GUY WHO CAN WIN A GAME FOR YOU PLAYING DEFENSE. I SEEN HIM LAST YEAR IN THE TWIN CITIES IN FIELDING PRACTICE BEFORE THE GAME. THE BALL CAME TO HIM AT THIRD. HE MUFFED IT. PICKED THE BALL UP AND THREW IT BETWEEN HIS LEGS, ON A PERFECT LINE TO FIRST. CASEY SHORT HOPPED IT WITH THOSE SOFT HANDS HE HAS AT FIRST. UNREAL, THAT`s a STRONG ARM,eh? We STILL GOT SNOW on the FIELD in the KEWEENAW! GOOOOO0000oooooo TIGERS!!! P.S. WHERE`s FATS FOTHERGILL WHEN WE NEED HIM? 3rd ALL-TIME TIGERS BATTING AVERAGE-.337

BEST AUTO SIGNER?

I understand getting your favorite TIGERS auto, got much harder this season. My spies in Lakeland said it was a zoo there. Everyone one was pushing and shoving to get autos. And I`m sure most of them show up on E-Bay ,after. But as a TIGERS collector, I appreciate the athletes that take the time and sign. Especially for the kids.

Last Mother`s Day ,Me and my Son went to the Twin Cities to see our TIGERS. Got on ESPN twice!! We were in the second row on the first base side. Before the game some of our Tigers were signing for us fans. Maggs came up to us and I handed Him my Program and my Sharpie. He smiled and while he was signing it I said, Is there anything you would like me to sign for you? He looked up to see if I was somebody important and then we laughed and he handed back my program and Sharpie. There was 5 or 6 kids next to me hoping for an auto. None of them had a Sharpie. Maggs walked back to me and asked for my Sharpie. He signed every kid`s stuff until he signed everbody`s stuff. I figured, well there goes my Sharpie. He walked back to me noded and smiled and gave back my Sharpie!! What a Guy!! He` s one of my new Favorites!! Next To Fats Fothergill

Go TIGERS!!!!!

Don`t make me come down there!!!

They should send them up for the last week of Spring Training!

So went the start in Detroit on Opening Day, It`ll be like a Heat Wave.

Youse Guys R killin Me,EH?

We`ll push the snow off the field in beautiful downtown Tapiola and we`ll play ball.

I think they`re afraid to swing the bat in the cold!

I`m hopeing for warmer weather, it`s a blizzard here today. But I`m ready for a few swings!

I`m not ascared of a stinger.
