IT’S ON NOW.
TBF’s family is from Detroit; generally this means that TBF walks around saying things like “This house is rooting for the Tigers” and I go put on my Joe Mauer shirt. However, now that the Tigers are returning to play the Mets, all bets are off. His uncle sent a text message on Sunday that read “PUT IT IN THE BOOKS, ROAR” which resulted in a very heated telephone conversation and a friendly wager being arranged. Some taunting along the lines of, “And I’ll go spend my winnings down at Peter Luger’s” was issued.
The above photo was produced one evening when some of my Tigers compatriots also got cocky. I do not blame them; their team is hot now. I will enjoy watching Mr. Justin Verlander tomorrow, but I will equally enjoy watching the Mets and our 24-10 home record tee off on him.
LET’S GO METS!
