I’m sure the cardiologists of metro Detroit would cast their collective vote for “Heart Attack” Jones to be re-signed.
Coach Jim,I think a better indication of a pitcher’s ability are his K/BB ratio(as well as his total strikeouts),WHIP,and the opponent’s batting average against.Jones is an accident waiting to happen every time he takes the mound.I hope I’m never in a trench with him,cuz the bullet meant for him is sure to find me instead,such is his luck.But he’s a helluva nice guy.

You say “burrito,” he says “fajita.”

I was a bit disappointed no one went for the mucho nachos that night. No one was macho enough, I guess.

…and since we participate in a great baseball democracy, I’ll cast my vote to retain Jones as closer. I’ve always maintained the closer should only be judged on perentage of save opportunities converted. Strikeouts and ERA are tangent stats.

How can anyone not pick Granderson for ANYTHING?

The shame is that I was there, but didn’t realize it was blogger’s night. I would have stopped by and shook some hands. I was in 116 row 8. That’s about 1/2 between 1st base and the RF foul pole.

Reading all of these posts is making me hungry! I miss stadium food over the winter.
Bill count me in for bloggers night next year. It was a blast. Sam the photos are terrific.

Mucho Nachos are good. But then walk over to the ice cream place near the carousel and order a Boston Cooler from Reginald. He’s old enough (like me) and Detroit enough that you don’t have to call it a Vernor’s Float.

Long live bloggers night!

The fajita, and the mucho nacho can be found in the food court.

Other highlights from the night included Fernando Rodney’s entrance music being “You’re the one that I want” from Grease and me continually giving Sam photo tips. If you haven’t heard me run a joke into the ground for 3 hours, you haven’t experienced bloggers night.

That bloggers night seemed awesome.

And I am pro-bringing back Jones. I much prefer him at the end of the game and letting ‘Nando and Joel do their thing in the 7-8th innings where we need a shut down reliever more often.

Um. Offensively it’s a push? No, I think not. Does Grady have 22 triples?

It was shaped like a burrito! If it was a fajita then it was the wrongest fajita to ever keep company with incredibly out-of-date salsa.

I’m fully capable of remembering what I ordered. It was a chicken fajita and it was delicious. I also highly recommend the Mucho Nacho.
