I’m a little, little man. I hate the Leafs almost as much as I love the Wings.

NEVER GETS OLD!!

Born to Eldor and Esther (Diestler) Koplitz on May 4, 1938. Howard was an Oshkosh High School Indian and proud of it. On July 7, 1962 he married Karen Kimball, they have enjoyed 49 years together. A big fan of State and local sports teams, Howard enjoyed anything that required a ball or a puck. He played professional baseball for 10 years with the Detroit Tigers and Washington Senators. In 1961 he was Minor League Player of the Year. Howard retired after working 38 years as a United State Postal Service clerk in Oshkosh. He was a former director of the Snitz Club, the American Legion Baseball Organization, and the Postal Employees Credit Union. He coached baseball at Lourdes High School and will be remembered by many as a bird lover and coin collector. His personal "crafty" cards will be cherished.

Either you’re joking or else we really need to promote more traffic to the Red Wings section of this board, lol.

Twines lose. Tigers have a 5 game lead!

Guardians swept by the Reds.

Hope just a precursor for greater pain and tears to strike Toronto sports fans later today.

Tigers win!

Ugh, the game was in Ibanez’ glove.

2 down, 1 to go. Vest looks good.

1 down, 2 to go.

I would have liked some insurance. Bichette is up 3rd and Guerrero would be up 4th.

Regular season points and NHL overall rank of 5 teams left in playoffs. Toronto - 108, #4 Dallas - 106, #5 Edmonton - 101, #9 Carolina - 99, #10 Florida - 98, #11

Such a rough day for Mark Scheifele. His dies last night, then he is sitting in penalty box as Stars score OT winner to knock them out. He had to take the penalty though, it was a breakaway.

The AL Central’s 1st place team has the best record in MLB and has won 30 of past 42. Its 3rd place team has won 12 straight. Its 4th place team had a recent stretch in which they won 16 of 18. Its 2nd-4th place teams are all in wildcard position. The AL East has 4 teams under .500.

I’d say Windsor has more Tigers fans than Jays fans and Sarnia has a roughly equal split of Jays fans and Tigers fans. I’d say Windsor has a roughly equal split of Wings fans and Leafs fans and Sarnia has considerably more Leafs fans than Wings fans. Games being shifted from Channel 4/20/50/PASS (available in Canada) to Fox Sports Detroit and the like (not available in Canada) was a blow. The Lions are huge in Windsor and Sarnia, the most popular NFL team, but even still I’d say in Sarnia half cheer for a team other than the Lions, a wide assortment.

Evans' biggest mistake at 3rd was getting picked off of it.

The Rogers Centre roof was open for a game for the first time this season on a Thursday, but drizzly forecast today. Might be open tomorrow.

This is Canada’s Victoria Day long weekend. Wearing camo to defend Queen Victoria’s honour.

Suck it, Toronto.

Looks safe to me but Jays announcers think he was out.

Jays get the run after all. 4-3.

Ovie eliminated last night. The Capitals have only made it past the 2nd round once in Ovechkin's 20 year career, that being the Cup year of 2018.

My dream for tonight is that the Tigers pound the Jays and as dejected Jays fans leave the stadium they rub shoulders in Maple Leaf Square with wailing Leafs fans distraught that the Leafs are being knocked out of the playoffs in Florida.
