Metalhead: Yeah…it just might lead to Tigers Championship. Ouch…I bet that hurt.
You just can’t let it go can you? Cause’ your chump ass (non child support paying) 2nd Baseman states something it’s gotta’ be the gospel.
If I didn’t know any better I would think YOU suffer from Cardinals envy.

As a Cards fan, I’m a little torn at this – he’s showing up to help another team just after he’s retired, even if it is for an old friend (hell, TLR’s been in the business 30+ years, you’d think that other than say Dusty Baker, he’s got a LOT of old friends around the managing biz). BUT – I like that he’s *not* trying to do it at Cardinals camp, giving Matheny his own space to make the team his own.

just hope none of his whine about everything rubs off on the tigers while he is there.

Gret comment! If you tweet this, Olney and Heyman will send it out under their names as an actual report.

Quite a par. Leyland shows up to spring training with an old leather briefcase with outdated scouting reports, a 1/5 of Old Grandad and a .38, and LaRussa shows up with a fake tan and some hair dye.

I bet Jim got mad smoking skillz: he can keep a lit cigarette inside his mouth to fox LaRussa. Comedy GOLD, baby!
