Baseball Thread No. 16: The Tom Brookens Joint

[Overrated]

Even though the Tigers aren't mathematically eliminated, I fear the end is near.

So, with that in mind, my playoff allegiances now belong to the...Brewers.

GO BREW CREW!

You've just been sitting in front of your computer madly mashing F5 until the old thread turned 50, haven't you?

I'm still a Tiger before I'm a Brewer.

Worst.

Umpiring.

Ever.

Brookens was on the last Detroit team to win a World Series.

Brookens was on the last Detroit team to win a World Series.

Newhouser was on the second Detroit team to win a World Series.

Today's youth needs to know and understand Tom Brookens. Hence, The Tom Brookens Joint.

From the other thread...

They may not have 1986 vintage Gorman, but this beats all in sheer cheesy awesomeness.

The ridiculous Donruss Diamond King sketches are a thread topic all their own.

Thomas just looks like Milwaukee.

Little-known fact... the artist created this Diamond King mistakenly using Charlie Moore as a subject, and upon discovering his gaffe, said '**** it' and turned it in to Donruss anyway...

Actually, I think half of all baseball players looked like Charlie Moore in those days.

And what's this name-calling, Bucky boy? A foof?

I swear these things were capped at 40 pages back in May.

Hey, no offense intended. And these things were supposed to go to 50 all along -- a new rule instituted by Moddy this season -- and it's been noted in every baseball thread that gets started too early. So ... no excuses. (Besides, we already let Rosie off the hook for starting one early last month. No exceptions now.)

I never was good at math. That GRE is going to be a ***** next month.

Your team's undeserved victory.

No bitching about A.J.? No picture posts involving Michael Barrett? I'm disappointed.

Oh, for all the

, here's a little

 

[Dickens Cider]

Not really. I don't give a **** either way.
