A combination of work, grad school, and an avalanche of increasingly baroque personal issues have combined to slow Roar of the Tigers down to a ‘lead-footed backup catcher’ kind of crawl– as you’ve no doubt already noticed. We are working on getting these things into a steady juggling rhythm, hopefully so that I can cartoon you through the end of the season (and beyond??), but it is very much a work in progress.
In the meantime, remember that we are living in a world where Brayan Pena is an active tweeter, and is obsessed with his own nipples.
I also highly recommend taking a look at this video of Prince Fielder from today’s game. From this we may learn that Prince Fielder is always willing to run like heck after a ball; that said running, for Prince, works up a prodigious appetite; that Prince always keeps his wits about him and is thus able to react quickly to unexpected stimuli; that Prince Fielder has a magnificent sense of humor; and that nothing– neither ballpark wall nor active game status– can or should come between Prince Fielder and his true love 4ever: nachos.
Prince is the man!
that was the best thing i’ve seen all season.
Hang in there Sam. Thanks for the cartoony treats.
Speaking of Prince, behold the Prince Fielder t-shirt of beauty and awesomeness! I got one from a local Dick’s and they also have them online. (I have no commercial interest here, just don’t want anyone to miss out who would love it as much as I do.)
Glad you’re back, hope you’ll stay (a great season hasn’t been quite the same without you), love your work here. I am in awe of anyone who can suffer through an avalanche of increasingly baroque personal issues and still come up with such a phrase to describe it.
So what happens if the Tigers play the Red Sox in the ALCS?
Having been at Fenway with the blogger when the Tigers are in Boston, I can confidently report that she will be dressed in Tiger…..
Excellent!
I agree with Rod: “That was beautiful… That was PER-FECT!”
How could this team not be winners??
