“Clearly, the THREE candy bars are the good luck charms.”

Clearly, the SEVEN candy bars had been the good luck charms.

Note that the precise number of voodoo watchdolls was unspecified.

“It doesn’t matter to me,” Cabrera said quietly of the attention, before turning toward the intriguing contents of his locker, including Voodoo dolls watching over three unwrapped candy bars. (mlive article)

wait, so in this story there is a black cat crossing a ladder? And it’s not even Halloween.

I love that Miggy kept his distance. He was probably busy with the three candy bars in his locker (not made up… check out the ESPN recap)

The weird thing is that the kitten somehow pulled its oblique while being rescued. And developed knee tendinitis.

I note that Matt Joyce did nothing to protect his oblique while climbing up on the stool.

Bilfer, if possible, give us a kitty update. Go cats go.

I remember a cat (grown) at camp in Lakeland in the Curtis Granderson spring training video posted here way back when.

Pretty sure they went the rescue league route. Which is too bad, ’cause a clubhouse cat would have been amazing, even if it made Verlander all sneezy.

Just keep the cat away from Miguel. I’m pretty sure that Santerians (sp?) only sacrifice animals that are later eaten, but why take the chance.

Someone tell them not to feed the cat cow milk. most of them are lactose intolerant and need to be fed a special kitty formula milk that is 98% lactose free and can be found in most pet stores. It’s called KML kitty powder; mix with water. Someone get on the horn quickly and call the Tiger club house. This kitty is definitely a good luck charm! It must be brought with the Tigers on all road trips. This is what Tiger fans have been waiting for; a good luck charm – that black cat bad luck stuff is all hogwash. I’ve had 2 black cats and I’m the luckiest guy in the world. Hurry…someone get on the horn!

Well why not, gum time seems to have used up its magic.

Hopefully it is a black and orange tabby and they can call it “Tiger”.

Re #3, I suspect a batboy will become the cat boy.

I do hope they keep the kitty, it surely is an appropriate clubhouse mascot.
