TIGER FANATIC HOME

05/27/2026

I HATE TO DO THIS BUT......FROM OUT OF THE MOTHBALLS, WHOA WHOA THEY BLOW, BY TONY BOTTERILL.

Yes the names of the players and he station is came from, is LONG GONE, but the lyrics of the songs, STILL MEAN AND EXPRESS, WHAT WE ARE ALL FEELING ABOUT THIS TIGERS TEAM!

YES IT'S A LONG SEASON, BUT RIGHT NOW, WHOA, WHOA THEY BLOW!

And TRUST ME, SONGS LIKE THIS, that express what the fans truly feel, WILL NEVER COME FROM THE WEAK AND PATHETIC MINDS OF 97.1 THE TICKET! This comes from the late, WDFN!

THE PISTONS ARE MOVING ON, BUT AT WHAT DESTRUCTIVE COST?

Let me say, I AM A BAD BOY, A PISTON DIE HARD, who has hardly missed ANY PLAYOFF GAMES, since I was a tiny fella, watching the Pistons play in the playoffs back int he 70's, against GOLDEN STATE!
And I went to EVERY HOME PLAYOFF GAME, during the DREADED TEAL ERA, and until they priced me out in 2005. AND THIS YEAR, because I went to meeting for old DETROIT DRIVE FANS, back when the Palace had an ARENA FOOTBALL TEAM, called the Detroit Fury, I was recruited to buy season tickets for the Pistons this season!

But as the PISTONS FACED ELIMINATION against the Orlando Magic in game 5, THE SERIES WENT TO PRIME VIDEO, something on my cable, that I once had, and XFINITY, CUT IT OUT OF MY PACKAGE, as they raised by monthly bill to $300 dollars. SO IT BASICALLY BECAME A PAY PER VIEW SERIES! The Pistons win, come to Orlando for game 6, and win that, AND AGAIN, IT'S ON PRIME VIDEO. So as the Pistons come home for the deciding game 7, IT'S NOT ON MY TV AGAIN, because the game is one WXYZ, ABC, and it's blocked out because COMCRAP-XFINITY can't cut a deal, WITH GREEDY SCRIPTS, that owns WXYZ.

Now one might say, when this happens whenever the LIONS face the same conflict, LOCAL TV, BUSTS THEIR ASSSESS, and moves to the games to local tv, so Lions fans, can see their team. BUT THIS IS THE PISTONS, who have been lost deep in the woods of the NBA'S WILDERNESS FOR NEARLY A DECADE, and they have finally cut a path out, and risen to be the BEST TEAM IN THE NBA! And this deciding GAME 7, IS ABC, home of ESPN, THE SEC, ACC, AND THE MOUSE FROM DISNEY WORLD! Surely, they could do for the Pistons what they've done for the LIONS? ALL THE ESPN STATIONS, chose to go with their regular programing of TEXAS VS ARKANSAS-SEC BASEBALL, some women's team vollyball, and BASKETBALL FROM AFRICA, plus one of those 30-30 SHOWS! The DETROIT PISTONS, were not worth it to ABC-ESPN, to bump one of those shows locally, to put on a HISTORIC GAME 7. THAT'S SAD AND PATHETIC, AND PITTYFUL, IN THIS TIME OF NEGLECT AND GREEDY GABILLIONAIRES! Hey let's face it, THE PISTONS STATUS, IS STILL NOT THAT STEADY, after sucking for so many years, and they need all the POSTITIVE COVERAGE AND VIBES THEY CAN GET! But for a bunch of GREEDY RICH BASTARDS TO CANCEL OUT 3 GAMES OF A LOCAL CONTENDER'S NBA PLAYOFF GAMES, is just plain STUPID!

I don't know if I should BLAME THE PISTONS, or the GABILLIONARIES, arguing over $5 to $10 million, so that one of them, CAN GO BUY A YACHT, that goes EAST, to go along with is fleet, that goes NORTH, SOUTH, AND WEST!

I sure hope you BAD BOYS AND BAD GIRLS, got to see all the games I didn't get to see, but if you didn't, I HOPE YOU ARE ASS PI**ED OFF ABOUT THIS CORPORATE GREED, AND STUPID, as I am! THE WINGS, TIGERS, AND PISTONS, now all come on different stations, thanks to some of this crap, but if this is the future of SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT, I WANTS NO PART OF IT! I used to say, I'll just keep my ass at home, and enjoy it on TV! But now, YOU CAN'T EVEN DO THAT ANYMORE!

SOMETHING CALLED ME HOME LAST SATURDAY!

Last Saturday, I was looking for march to go to, and couldn't find one in the two cities I looked in. So I stopped at the last BURGER KING IN DETROIT, got some nuggets, and a text, telling me that 1:15 in day, I WAS 2 HOURS EARLY. So I said, THE HECK THIS, I'M GOING HOME! But as I drove down Trumbull and made a left onto Michigan Avenue, THIS STRANGE FEELING CAME OVER ME, and drove over to where TIGER STADIUM USED TO BE! I stop, look in, and I see some guys roaming around in what looked like old 1970's MILWAUKEE BREWERS ROAD JERSEYS. Now it's 44*, but it was I think, Macomb College vs Schoolcraft. SO I GET IN, AND START LOOKING FOR THE CHANGES, I SUGGESTED BACK WHEN THE PARK FIRST OPENNED! First off all, THEY HAD A SCOREBOARD, in right down in KALINE'S CORNER. AND GOD, DOES IT LOOK SO WEIRD AND CHEAP, with field turf on the historic field! They STILL, have no water in the dugouts, no lockeroom for the teams, no COVERING over the dugouts from the elements, and remember that IRON FENCE they put up, that surrounded the field, but got moved in, to be the OUTFIELD FENCE, STILL NO PADING! It's just an iron fence, with a tarp that said, SCHOOLCRAFT! And I noticed the STORE FRONTS are mostly empty, but a few more people are in those condos and use the patios now!

So as I walk around, and strike up conversations with some BASEBALL GUYS, and a family from MANATOBA CANADA, I realized, I HAD BEEN RUNNING MY MOUTH, MY FEET HURT, AND I HAD BEEN STANDING FOR 7 INNINGS! But somewhere in there, MACOMB, LOADED THE BASES, and a kid popped a good one to right, JUST BETWEEN THE CONDOS, and out of my mouth came flying ERNIE HARWELL. "THAT ONE IS HIT DEEP TO RIGHT, IT'S GOTTA CHANCE! THAT ONE IS LOOOOONG GONE, AND GRAND SLAMMI"! But as I was standing there talking, I noticed, THE OLD GIRL STILL LIVES, because they had put up these weak nets, to try and protect the condos! THE FOUL BALLS WENT OVER THE NETS, BANGED UP AGAINST THE 1ST BASE CONDOS, EVEN BOUNCED INTO MICHIGAN AVENUE TRAFFIC, hitting cars, and two hit the glass, on that new hotel across the street! I STILL GO TO A LOTTA GAMES AT HAMTRAMCK STADIUM, and they don't have TOWERING FOUL BALLS LIKE THAT. Hell, they don't even go up that high, in Comerica Park! BUT WHATEVER LIFE, SPIRIT, CALL IT WHATEVER YOU WANT TO, is still there at the CORNER OF MICHIGAN AND TRUMBULL, where Tiger Baseball, TRULY BELONGS!

I don't know HOW I ENDED UP THERE, but the OLD GIRL, CALLED FOR ME, AND I CAME BACK HOME, to enjoy some great conversations, and baseball, still being played at my second home, TIGER STADIUM! I had more fun that day, than I have since they opened COMERICA PARK, PERIOD!

(Believe it or not, I used to be a photographer! But with my cellphone, I SUCK IT! But thanks to the editing of PHOTOSHOP, I TRIED TO FIX SOME OF PHOTOS, FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT, and for a look at how the now, CORNER BALLPARK, LOOKS. And I hear, 4 SCHOOLS, NOW CLAIM THAT SITE, AS THEIR HOME FIELD)
TIGER STADIUM LIVES, AND CORKTOWN, WILL BE PACKED AS USUAL FOR OPENING DAY!

TIGERS HAVE NEW/OLD UNIFORMS!

Okay, they have alternates, based off the 1980's Tigers Batting Practice Jerseys. ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN THE SOFTBALL UNIFORMS THEY WERE WEARING THE PAST FEW YEARS! Everytime I saw them, MY HAND AUTOMATICALLY REACHED FOR THE REMOTE! I heard some local RADIO GUYS, I have no clue of who they are, say they were garbage. THAT'S PROBABLY THE SAME GUY WHO LOVED THE PISTONS TEAL JERSEYS, and still thinks they won so many playoff series and championships in! BY THE WAY, THE ANSWER ON THAT WAS ZERO! But I LOVED THAT 1983-84 blue topped Tiger jersey, with the PROUD Old English D on it. And then the PIZZAMAN FOUND OUT ABOUT THEM, brought them back for the fans, and what cost me like $15 bucks at old CORKTOWN SPORTSLAND, cost the fans about $150 bucks!

Now what I want to see, is the 80's colorful, ROAD JERSEY, THAT WON CHAMPIONSHIPS AND WHAT WE HAD FOR MOST OF OUR LIVES GROWING UP, until the PIZZAMAN, went to copy the METS old road jerseys! These are sharp jerseys, and I HOPE THIS CURRENT TIGER GENERATION, GROWS TO LOVE THEM LIKE I DID!
