Speaking of Jim’s, I missed this tweet from #FakeJimLeyland on Miggy Day.

"Arm Barn"....I am not changing the name of the bull pen.  Sorry PETA.

[Jim Cowan]

I have changed the name of my sofa to "butt barn".

Isn't that supposed to be "butt cushion" or "nap location"?

[1984Echoes]

If I were looking to replace "bullpen", for whatever reason...

My preference would be more like "Reliever Reserve" or, "The Reserve" for short.

I would avoid "The Reservation" for some, uhhh, negative connotations.

But "The Reserve" I think is workable.

[Jim Cowan]

Arm Barn is speciesist, a Barn is where animals are imprisoned and even mentioning it in front of your family pet is insensitive and cruel.

In recent experience, it seems like the Tigers' version should be called the kennel, 'cuz everyone out there is a dog <rimshot>

I take offense at this remark. I grew up in a barn. Or at least my mother accused me as acting as if I did.

I seem to remember Ernie giving shout outs to people coming to the game with friends from Kalamazoo or Benton Harbor or something like that.

Yes and I think when a foul ball was caught in the stands Ernie would sometimes mention a community, "caught by a youngster from Ann Arbor" even though he had no idea where the kid was from, which was a cool thing to do.

That was when people could afford to come to a game and sit in a decent seat.  I remember when they moved to Comerica they interviewed some local folks that had season box seats for years.  They stopped going to games because they couldn't afford them anymore.

[Cruzer1]

I was listening to a game on my am stereo, when I caught a ball and Ernie said that a man from Sterling Heights caught the ball, and Jim Price said "nice area".

 

This story is bullshit.

This week in 1968: Denny McLain was the unanimous winner of the A.L. Cy Young Award AND the league's MVP. He finished 31-6 with 280 strikeouts, a 1.96 ERA and 28 complete games.
