Tigers' radio has the major leagues' best bumper music.
"Layla." "Jamie's Cryin.'" "Born To Be Wild." "We're An American Band." "Purple Haze." "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap." "Song 2" by Blur. (Whoo-hoo!)
"Proud to carry the Tigers flag, in the best sports city in America -- 97-1 The Ticket" is the liner sometimes heard over the music on the flagship station, WXYT-FM. Best sports city in America. I like that. So I listen on WXYT's AM sister station and not the closer Port Huron or Sandusky network affiliates. 1270 AM also being where The Lone Ranger and The Green Hornet originated in radio's Golden Age. Something else for Detroit to be proud of, obscure as it may be.

Bumper music, and liners, and old-time radio being more preferable subjects than tonight's 7-4 loss at Toronto. Two steps forward, one step back. Phil Coke and Brayan Villareal were hit hard. Brad Thomas gave up a three run homer to Adam Lind in the eighth. Too bad, because they scored three in the ninth and had the tying run on third when the game ended.
