I once caddied for a guy named Aubrey...WWII vet who landed at Normandy, ran a commercial building company, and owned several malls and other business interests...but it's certainly not a popular name these days.Aubrey is a girls name
Nice addition.
Tiger's finally got a night off after 17 straight games.
Where have you been? I passed you back up in posts.
For you Tiger bullpen bashers, last night Rod Allen said the Tiger's are 55-0 when leading after 8 innings! Whenever you can shorten a game by an inning is good for the win column. Pitching will be our salvation. I like the starting rotation right now.
How good is Porcello going to be in 5 years? And he is doing it right now without a curveball. Just a fastball, slider and change-up, add the breaking stuff and this kid is going to be phenomenal.
Well, it's August 19th and we're getting into the final stretch of the season. You gotta like the Tigers simply because they hold a 2-game lead and play 5-more home games than Chicago to complete the season. Regardless, their forray into the post season will be a short one if they don't start winning on the road.
Go Tigers!

The Angels' radio broadcasters have mentioned at both games this week how totally different it feels this year calling a game @ Progressive Field. They said the only area where there apppears to be some passion and feeling is around the well-known bass drummer and a new area of collective men called "Grady's Guys"!!!!. They said it has been quite some time since they felt this lack of enthusiasm in Cleveland. However, they HAVE been quite fairly touting the young prospects that are now playing.
I don't post much about my Injuns anymore, seeing I am still reeling with what the front office has done to my team, but I did find this event to be noteworthy.......

Unfortunately, my brother-in-law will be missing this promotion by a week. He is due to come home from Kuwait for a quick break in 7 short days, before deploying back to his 2nd stint in the war. Can't wait to get you home again buddy! And thanks to all the troops for your service! We appreciate you efforts and dedication!
