Tigers New Years Resolutions
posted in 2006-07 offseason |As it’s that time of the year to make New Years Resolutions, if you do — and I don’t. I just change or I don’t, I don’t check the calendar first — I thought I’d take a peek at some of the Tigers’ New Years resolutions. (Yeah, original theme for a post, isn’t it? Maybe that’s my resolution…)
Pudge Rodriguez — Don’t swing at the first pitch. Don’t swing at the first pitching. Don’t swing at the … CRAP!
I think that covers half the lineup.
Gary Sheffield — Listen to some happy music in the locker room and teach those guys above some patience.
A trio:
Joel Zumaya — Stay away from Wii.
Kenny Rogers — Stay away from dark objects.
Fans when Todd Jones is pitching — Stay away from sharp objects.
Okay, those were too obvious!
Jim Leyland — Find a bigger ash tray.
And you thought I’d take the obvious one again!
Jeremy Bonderman — Develop a changeup. And a plan on how not to blow a 6-0 lead.
I kid because I love. Or is it because I wanted to strangle him that day..? One or the other, anyway.
Andrew Miller — Work to get back to Detroit soon.
With some seasoning and a starting role, he’s gonna be fun.
Brandon Inge — Buy a razor and shave that soul patch!
Please?
Dave Dombrowski – More of a maintenance resolution: keep spending wisely.
Mike Ilitch — Keep letting him.
And a few Tigers related resolutions:
ESPN — Show some Tigers games when they don’t play the Yankees. For that matter, show anyone’s games — I don’t care who — as long as they don’t play the Yankees. Or Red Sox.
FSN — Show some more games!
And finally:
Tigers fans – Stop thinking about the World Series meltdown and keep thinking about how fun opening day is going to be when the penant is raised at Comerica Park.
We haven’t had it this good in 22 years.
Happy New Years!
