| There is a funny article on freep.com!
What do you give a lineup that has everything? A nickname. Consider some of baseball's legendary powerhouses: • Murderers' Row -- the 1927 Yankees. • The Lumber Company -- the 1971 Pirates. • Harvey's Wallbangers -- the 1982 Brewers. • The Bronx Bombers -- the Yankees. • The Gas House Gang -- the 1934 Cardinals. • The Big Red Machine -- Sparky Anderson's Reds.
What about the Tigers? Yeah, if the Tigers are going to live up to their billing, they need a nickname, too. Such as: • The Woodward Dream Crew. • The MGM Grand Slammers (MGM as in Miggy, Gary & Maggs). • The 135 Million Dollar Men. • The Dombrowski Demolition Company. • Mike Ilitch's Hard Lemonade. • The SWAT Team. • The Boys of Winter (that's what you get with March openers). • The Swing Shift. • The Motown Hit Parade. • The Hitsville Nine (and Inge). • The Powertrain Assembly. • Mutterer's Row. (Wanna hear our Jim Leyland impression?)
Any further suggestions? | |
