A little bit of humor

I received this in an email and since I am a diehard Detroit Lion’s fan it fits perfect!!!

Two Guys From Detroit

Two guys from Detroit, Michigan die and wake up
in hell. The next day, the devil stops to check on
them and sees them dressed in parkas, mittens
and bomber hats, warming themselves around the
fire.

The devil asks them, "What are you doing? Isn’t
it hot enough for you?"

The two guys reply, "Well, you know, we’re from
Michigan, the land of ice and snow and cold. We’re
just happy for a chance to warm up a bit, you know."

The devil decides that these two aren’t miserable
enough and turns up the heat. The next morning,
he stops by again and there they are, still dressed
in their parkas, mittens and hats.

The devil asks them again, "It’s awfully hot down here,
can’t you guys feel that?"

Again, the guys reply, "Well, like we told you yesterday,
we’re from Michigan, the land of ice and snow and cold.
We’re just happy to warm up a little bit, you know."

The devil gets a little steamed up and he decides to fix
the two guys. He cranks the heat up as high as it will go.
The people are wailing and screaming everywhere. He
stops by the room with the two guys from Detroit and finds
them in light jackets and hats, grilling sausage and drinking
beer.

The devil is astonished. "Everyone down here is in abject
misery , and you seem to be enjoying yourselves."

The two Michiganders reply, "Well, ya know, we don’t
get too much warm weather up there in Detroit, we’ve just
got to have a cookout when the weather is this nice."

The devil is absolutely furious, he can hardly see straight.
Finally, he comes up with an answer. These two love the
heat because they have been cold all their lives. He
decides to turn all the heat in hell off.

The next morning, the temperature is below zero, icicles
are hanging everywhere, the people are shivering so bad,
they are unable to wail, moan or gnash their teeth.

The devil smiles and heads for the room with the 2
Michiganders. He finds them back in their parkas, mittens
and hats. They are jumping up and down and cheering.

The devil was dumbfounded. "I don’t understand. When I
turn the heat up, you’re happy. Now it’s freezing cold,
and you’re happy. What is wrong with you two?"

The Michiganders look at the devil in surprise. "Well,
don’t ya know - if hell froze over, that must mean
the Lions won the Super Bowl!"

Tha St. Louis Cardinals are the World Campions

Congratulation to the St. Louis Cardinals on winning World Series Game 5 and for becoming the World Champs.

I am very proud of my Detroit Tiger’s for even making it to the World Series and they shouldn’t be that down on themselves. Considering where the ball club was not too long ago. Manager Jim Leyland’s decision not to pitch Kenny Rogers in this all important game will be disected for several days to come.

But Leyland decided to give rookie Justin Verlande a shot at redeeming himself after the less than stellar performance in his first game of the World Series. Unfortunately, just like in his first performance, he did struggle to hold on to the lead the Tiger hitters gave him.

The undoing of the Tiger’s turned out to be the fielding; they committed 8 errors (3 by 3rd baseman Brandon Inge and 5 by the pitchers). Despite the defensive problems, it still lands on the hitters to score runs and the pitching to stop your opponent from scoring runs.

The Tiger’s didn’t score enough runs and the pitchers didn’t get enough of the batters out when it was all said and done and that is the reason the Tiger’s fell a little short. I am still very proud of the team and I look forward to spring and a new season. It is hard to be upset when your team makes it all the way to the World Series, especially after the recent history of the team includes a 43-119 seaon only three years before.
