Tigers Declawed By Cleveland

Once again the Tigers blow a chance to advance in the playoffs. 

The good news: the Tigers went to the playoffs and swept the Houston Astros.

The bad news: the Tigers blew another close series. 

They were beaten by the Guardians 5 - 3 in Game 5 of the ALDS.

 What many thought would be an easy victory turned into another reason why the Tigers can’t seem to progress.

I just don't get it. 

How can a team that shut out Houston in the Wildcard game and lead the ALDS series by 2 games, f*** it up so badly.

What went wrong?

Is this any way to be a winning team, by letting down your fans. 

I'm well aware that the team still needs to clean up their messes.

 I also know that we made some bad moves in games.

This is the first year without slugger Miguel Cabrera on the roster too. 

But we can never go back to having losing seasons or blowing games like game 4 of the ALDS. 

Fans deserve much better than this.

Ok, I admit getting Cy young award winner Tim Skubal is a step in the right direction.  

But trading pitcher Jack Flaherty to the Dodgers was a bonehead move too.

Is it the Tigers fate, that no matter how hard they try, they wind up losing anyways.

If the Tigers don't learn from their mistakes and correct their course next season, there’s no hope of being in the playoffs again.

Hopefully it won’t be another 40 years before we can call ourselves World Series champs!

Prayers For Willie Mays

 Prayers, thoughts, peace for the family, friends, former teammates of baseball legend Willie Mays.

Willie passed this week from natural causes, he was 93.

The San Francisco Giants legend led the team to World Series win in 1954.

Willie also was a 2 time NL. MVP champ too.

Willie will be dearly missed.

 Wanna make a difference for our country? 

One of the many ways to make a difference is to vote!

In 2024, Americans will go to the polls to cast their ballots.

All throughout the year, states will be holding elections to select candidates for president and other offices.

They will also be voting on ballot proposals too. 

One of those states holding elections is my state Michigan. 

We’ll be holding our presidential primary on February 27th, 2024.

The polls on Election Day will be open from 7 am. - 8  pm. 

If you’re still in line to vote at 8 pm, they have to let you vote, stay in line.

Also remember the front and the back of the ballot too.

Thanks for being the difference.

Lions Not Ready For Prime Time

Here we go again, Lions blow another chance to go to the Super Bowl.

The good news: the Lions finally have a winning season. 

The bad news: the Lions blew another close game.

Once again the Detroit Lions are proving why they’re not ready to be an elite team. 

They were beaten by the 49ers in the NFC championship game 34 - 31.

 What many thought would be a Lions much needed victory, turned into another reason why this team can’t seem to progress.

I just don't get it. How can a team that had a 12 - 5 season, and be leading 24 - 10  in the 1st. half, f*** it up badly in the 2nd. half. 

What went wrong?

 Is this any way to be a winning team, by letting down your fans once again.

I'm well aware that the team still needs to clean up. I also know that we made some bad moves in some games.

We can never go back to 0 - 16 or 2  - 14 seasons again. Fans deserve better.

But come on, we should have won.

Ok, ok, the hiring of Dan Campbell & Jared Goff is a step in the right direction. 

Is it the Lions fate, that no matter who we get or how hard they try, they lose anyways.

If the Lions don't learn from their mistakes and correct their course next season, then there’s no hope of making a Super Bowl or be Super Bowl champs.

Hopefully it won’t be another 67 years before we can call ourselves NFL champs!

Prayers For Dejan Milojević

Prayers, thoughts, peace for the loved ones of Golden State Warriors assistant coach Dejan Milojevic.

Dejan left us on January 17th, 2024, after suffering a heart attack while having a meal with the team.

Dejan was a player in Serbia and Turkey teams before retiring in 2009.

He will be dearly missed.
