Why Don't the Tigers Call Him Up Now?

The Tigers haven't run away with first place, yet.  They will.  Know that they will.  But you would think, based on the evidence that has been presented here - yes, evidence that you have seen with your very own eyes - that they would've offered him a huge multi-million-dollar contract to immediately sign with them and help out.  Their starting pitching has been a little shaky at times, and Prince Fielder has only hit a handful of homeruns...  So, why on earth are the Tigers dragging their feet?

Well, it's time I reveal the whole truth.  They did send some representatives to our house.  Who am I kidding, they weren't "representatives."  Mike Illitch, owner of the Tigers, came over to see what all the hype was about.  He said he got hundreds of emails after the post of Noah hitting got posted.  We sat down, had some long talks, crunched some numbers, and then he wanted to see for himself.  Seems that Noah got a little gun-shy.  Not a lot gun-shy, but a little.



The end result was that Mr. Illitch said Noah's pretty much a shoe-in for next year's starting line-up, but he wants us to get Noah a real horsey first, so that Noah learns how much trouble they are to take care of, and then he'll lose interest and be able to focus on batting again.  It looks like Detroit will have to wait one more year for an Egle to wear the Old English D and lead the Tigers to another World Series Championship.
