Old English D on Blog Talk Radio

I know. The offseason has become a droning, interminable, black hole devoid of all meaning. Did you refresh your favorite Tigers news sites 20 times yesterday only to find that there is NOTHING doing? If you've reached the end of your rope, and have begun actually longing for Rod Allen and Mario Impemba, you are obviously in dire need of a baseball fix. You're in luck. Tune in tonight at 11 pm Eastern time to:

Blog Talk Radio

I will be joining host Bill Ivie of i70 Baseball and Baseball Digest, along with other AL Central bloggers to talk some baseball. I realize that it's an alternate universe akin to the final season of "Lost" when yours truly appears on a radio show that features credible baseball writers. But the apocalypse is apparently underway, so why not go with it? (Or at least listen just to laugh at me. It's ok, I'm not afraid of sacrificing myself for the common good, remember?--scroll down to the last big paragraph to read about how I made a fool of myself, but helped the team win. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.)

Anyway, listen in and call in tonight. You can even heckle me.

13 Games, 13 Opportunities to Own the AL Central

Apparently, the Detroit Tigers players, coaches and management do not read my blog.  What a shocking revelation!  They didn't get my message that we needed to win the Yankees series.  Hmm.  Guess I'll take to purchasing ad space inside Marlboro, Phiten and sunflower seed packaging and get the word out that way.

I don't have to worry about them getting the message I'm about to share with you.  They already know it, and so do you.  We need to win our upcoming 13-game sortie against AL Central opponents.  Last year, we were abysmal against divisional rivals.   Please, oh please, can we change that this year?  I beg of you.  Restore the roar of divisional ownership.

Thank you in advance for your consideration of the preceding public service announcement.
