Detroit Tigers Ongoing 2013 Thread

[Cleaves2000]

Hopefully a stop in chicago will give this team a boost..

How about we not let a runner steal.

This is a huge concern. Two base walks aren't cool.

It's the end of an era, an era that maybe you were not aware existed. However, I trust those of you Tiger fans that get a chance to actually attend a good share of games know who this guy is. I will let you decide if he will be missed.

The fat lady has sung on Detroit’s Singing Hot Dog man.
Charley Marcuse, known best for bellowing out his call for franks, posted on his Twitter account that he got canned on Friday.

Singing Hot Dog Man @SinginHotDogMan
After 15 years the @Tigers finally got what they've aways wanted: I was fired by @delawarenorth #Sportservice this morning. #LongLiveMustard

Pretty artful, if you ask us. Marcuse had been working at Tiger Stadium since 1999 and garnered national attention in 2004 when the team banned him from singing, according to the Detroit Free Press.

Based on this tweet, Marcuse must’ve believed someone had it out for him, especially since some fans complained his singing was a distraction. Later on Friday, Marcuse released a statement of his own:
“Since 1999, the final season played at Tiger Stadium, I have been selling hot dogs at Detroit Tigers games. What started as a part-time summer job quickly turned into a passion. For fifteen years I have tried to provide a unique, engaging, and fun experience for everyone. The vast majority of feedback and interactions have always been positive. Fans constantly tell me that I have added to their enjoyment of the ballgame. The Detroit Tigers and Sportservice, a Delaware North Company, see it differently. After so many years I am very sorry to see this day come.
“I am deeply thankful to the fans for their loyalty and support. It has been an amazing experience serving you for the past fifteen years. All of you are the reason I keep coming back. I hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.”

Glad that clown is gone... Its bad enough to listen to guys shouting about what they are selling when you are trying to enjoy the game... This guy drove me nuts one game i was at... They need to do away with the shouting salesman thing and move to using your phone to order via stafium apps... They have it in Miami now... Its great.

This guy was supposed to be gone six years ago. Season ticket holders hated him with a passion. It was kind of annoying when he worked a section by you, even worse when it was the section you were in. I'd take Mike Adams drum over the hot dog guy, maybe.

8:10pm (M. Scherzer - R)
@ White Sox (C. Sale - L)
1. Austin Jackson (R) CF
2. Torii Hunter (R) RF
3. Miguel Cabrera (R) 3B

5. Victor Martinez (S) DH
6. Nick Castellanos (R) LF

Best lineup they can put out there for Max and # 20......

 

[broncosmitty]

Woah...... No Avila!?! Our #1 prospect in left!?! Did Jimmy get sick? Or is he drinking again? This could/should be our lineup vs lefties. Until Peralta is back anyway, IMO.

This must be a v-bucks day.

 

[broncosmitty]

Damn straight!

 

[burfboy]

All vbucks in on this one....

 

[Cleaves2000]

Should i bet on the sox? To make sure detroit wins

 

[broncosmitty]

Yes.

 

[Cleaves2000]

Wish i wasnt broke.....would go to the game.....the frickin parking costs more than the tickets. Went to the kane county game a few weeks back and spent around 15-19 bucks just in tolls. Now i have to listen to the hawk since game on foxdet will be blacked out.

 

[broncosmitty]

Make fun of Pena, Iggy and Nicky C if you get the chance. (Why did Leyland bother to say he's not going to start Castellanos?)

 

[Cleaves2000]

Just dropped 50 on the sox.....try n keep jinx alive.....picked the vikings on the pick em thread on the lions board...presto detroit won.....bet on chi sox tonight....and hopefully detroit wins.

 

[kengel6]

Who is this JACK-OFF behind home plate???? Give me a fuckin break. Umpires with that thin skin should do t-ball games, maybe.

 

[burfboy]

Just fucking stupid.....lets just play the game...

 

[adrian2]

why is it necessary for our village idiot manager to get kicked out every time a player gets tossed. it's the first inning. man up manage the game with cy young to be pitcher on the mound. Going out spitting and stammering will not get Miggy back in the game.

 

[broncosmitty]

Same reason he needs to stuff his face every single night during post game interviews. Or the same reason he said he wouldn't start Nicky C. Or the same reason he plugged Raburn in as our starting second baseman when Inge got released. Or.... Hell I don't know.....

 

[themuzzer]

Woot, Fire JL is getting some backing, just watch his actions, Guy is a bum, any manager can lead this team better then him, Hell the team manages itself mumbles just gets in the way of progress.
