It's the magic of the Jim Leyland "Fire and Brimstone" speech, I swear to God. Nothing is scarier than a old man in spikes who will beat your ass while he smokes a cigarette and talks like Barry White. Is it really any surprise the Tigers came back and took the game in the eighth with the prospect of coming back into the clubhouse to face him? Not to me, at least.
But, tonight is reason number 63567365 why I hate "April in the D." FSN's cockeyed attempt to show every Tigers, Red Wings, and Pistons game is killing me. Lord knows, I would have watched this game if I had the opportunity. Did I? Nooooo.
Why not direct people who want to watch the Red Wings to CBC, since everyone in the Metro Detroit area gets that channel on basic cable anyway? Or, why not use a local channel that everyone gets but no one usually watches instead? I just don't understand it. Especially since every time the Tigs are on FSN, they get the shit beat out of them.
So, if you're looking for commentary about how the Tigers looked, I'm sorry. Or maybe you want me to talk about about how awesome it was getting that feeling where the Tigers start rolling and cannot be stopped again. But, I couldn't get that feeling because I watched the Wings self-destruct instead.
I am totally thrilled that Jimmy gave the "Fire and Brimstone" speech on Sunday though, as the guys pretty much earned it after that epic fail. The only other one that he's given here was the famous one in 2006, and that pretty much turned around the entire franchise. All I'm asking for is back-to-back wins.
To quote Major League - "If we win tomorrow, that's called two in a row. If we win the next day, that's called a winning streak. It has happened before."
