I am not going to lie to you people. I am getting worn down by the duties attached to running this website.
Fighting Twitter Wars on three fronts has left me more depleted than the US military. Working on a Sima Birach, Jr expose and trying to sift through allegations of gunshot wounds, alleged sexual harassment, lawsuits against him by his own FATHER and alleged bankruptcy fraud is a full-time job for Woodward, Bernstein, M.L. Elrick and Gary Grantham COMBINED.
Then when you mix in my nuclear response to Gregg Henson’s 20-year old rumors about my family and his mocking of my wife’s ectopic pregnancy coupled with having to deal with Twitter accounts named, “JeffsDeadFetus”, well; you probably can understand why I am a bit run down.
And I haven’t EVEN mentioned what this site is really supposed to be all about and what I SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON … My tremendous opinions on Detroit sports teams and criticism of the [Verlander] awful media whose charge it is to cover them.
So instead of having the time to write an article about Sergei Fedorov’s retirement and why his jersey should be retired by the Wings or the incredibly frustrating process of being a Tigers fan from every angle possible, I have wasted my time copying and pasting derogatory Tweets when I am not blasting Jerry(atric) Green.
So, on Monday morning I was really looking forward to composing an original and thoughtful article while washing away all of the negativity of the last week when I clicked on the Detroit News website and read the following headline:
“Forget Inge; letting Placido Polanco go was Tigers’ worst mistake”
Yes, Terry Foster actually penned a column that not only stated the Tigers have never recovered from letting Polanco go in the winter of 2009, but that they were CURSED by the decision.
Also, the race baiter stated it was the worst mistake the Tigers have made recently. And yes, we are talking about an organization that traded away the dude who finished FOURTH in the AL MVP voting last year (Curtis Granderson) and a team that passed on trading Rick Porcello and Ryan Perry for Roy Halladay a couple years back.
Yep, letting Polanco go was the team's biggest mistake and one that haunts the Tigers to this day.
Except one small detail. Placido Polanco. He hasn’t been good since he left Detroit. OHHHHHH.
