Ralph,the Tigers named Kirk Gibson their new bench coach today as well as Lance Parrish as their new bullpen coach.Let's see if they bring Lou Whitaker onto the scene.

Friday,
So far I like this.

Wow, we were joking on the temp site about Gibby being named first base coach and being tougher to knock down than that poor Chicago guy. I didn't think he'd really be tapped for a job, I kind of like it too.

I AGREE WITH FRIDAY...TRAMMEL TO WHITTAKER GOES WAY WAY BACK...TO THE MINORS, AND NO TWOSOME EVER COVERED THE MIDDLE OF THE INFIELD ANY BETTER!

I have a feeling that if any player starts slacking off,old Gibby's going to take them in the coach's office and bounce them off a few walls BEFORE he beats the crap out of them.

Do they still have Al Kaline & Willie Horton on their "advisory board" as well?

If you would like to discuss the Tigers and baseball in general, there is a forum devoted to this pursuit. I invite you all to come over, browse,and post if you like. See you there.

I think Willie Horton is now coaching in their farm system and Al Kaline is in their front office.

Hey Ralph,
I told you Gibson would be back with the Tigers!!! I remember when he was dating his wife Joanne and his best friend, Dave Rozma, was dating her sister Sandy. They all got married and lived happily ever after! Weren't the girls strippers at the Booby Trap on 8 Mile Road??
LoL

Millie,
I seem to recall they were dancers but history is sort of rewritten a little now and JoAnn is referred to by hubby as a former bartender there. What-ever, ya know? It was OK at the time ....
