Welcome!

So... another blog. Another Detroit Tiger blog. Please don't yawn and dismiss me already. This blog is all about the love.

I've have been a baseball fan for most of my life, with my allegiances laying with the Detroit Tigers. My parents will tell you stories of taking me to games during the 1984 season, when I was all of three years old, waving my pictures of the players that came inside the cereal boxes. I am fan of the first day of the season, where everyone has a chance this season (I'm lookin' at you, Kansas City). I love how good a hot dog tastes (even though I can't eat one away from the park). I love when the players storm the field, filled with promise. I love talking trash about the other team, proving my knowledge amongst a group of men who don't know anything (but think they do), and I love the sound of the ball coming off the bat. I mean, what's not to love?

I'll tell you what's not to love. Media outlets that don't give the Tigers (or you) any love.

I have been on other Detroit Tiger websites. There are the websites that just provide the facts, but no sizzle. There are the sites that allow you to have your own opinion, but if the blogger does not agree with you, then tough. I haven't been able to find a site where the Tigers, the blogger, and the readers were able to share the love. So, I decided to create one.

As this site becomes more detailed, (and more slick looking, as I need some help with that--maybe I can bribe you, the reader, to help?) I want feedback. Do you want to learn about that "WAR thing" you have been hearing about? Done. Do you want to have a lively debate about who the hottest Tiger is? Done. Do you have a jonesin' for some Detroit Tiger history? Done. Do you just need a humorous recap or live feed of the night's game? Done, done, done and done.

This is going to be a friendly place to talk and learn about Detroit baseball. And other teams too, because, well, what the Twins do DOES affect the Tigers. It is going to be a place to love the Detroit Tigers, because as we all know, Lynn Henning sure as hell doesn't (but likes to think so).

Cheers to a great season!
