 ll,
during the baseball playoffs, everybody in Detroit was “over the moon” about these 2012 Detroit Tigers. Just thinking about these Fair Weather Fans makes me want to yell more than Delmon Young at a homeless guy. Don’t get me wrong, I like the Tigers as much as the next guy, but these Tigers nowadays are no match compared to the Tigers when I was growing up.

Nowadays, these Tiger Twits love to talk about MVP Justin Verlander. Ewww, he has won 17 Games what an Iron Man. Fiddle Foey! In 1968 Denny McLain won 31 Games and everyday he was smoking two packs of cigarettes, drinking a fifth of scotch, and committing felonies. Sure he got traded to Washington and then went to prison, but we didn’t care! In 1968, we loved him!
And these Detroit Doofusses love talking about Miguel Cabrera’s Triple Crown. People love to say,” Miggy’s a bad boy, but he’s a good ball player”. He’s a bad boy for drunk driving? In 1968, we had Gates Brown who came from prison for Burglary. He was a Prisoner from a Penitentiary. Now that’s a Bad Boy! Sure, the Gator would hide Hot Dogs in his jersey and couldn’t field for crap, but we didn’t care we loved him!!

And you can bet those Luxury Box Losers will be all hanging out at Comerica Park with the huge Tiger statue at the entrance, the centerfield waterfall, and the giant scoreboard. In 1968 at the old Tiger Stadium, all there was at the entrance was a black guy trying to sell you peanuts. And if you wanted to see flowing water, you went to urinal trough in the Men’s Room. And we didn’t have any giant scoreboard, so if you wanted to know anything, you had to ask the 100 year-old guy keeping score with a transistor radio by his ear. Sure there were obstructed view seats and no luxury boxes, but we didn’t care, we loved it! |

So you go celebrate your fancy schmancy 2012 Detroit Tigers. And while your watching those powder puffs, Denny McLain, the Gator, and me are gonna stand in front of the stadium selling Peanuts. And don’t ask where we got them, because Gates ain’t talkin’! |
