And now a word about the Tigers and baseball superstition.



I have posted before that I wanted both candidates to stay away from the baseball team, but when they both started to embrace the Tigers, I figured any bad mojo from that would balance out, right?



Until last night. Now we have proved who brings the curse.



Dick DeVos stood outside Comerica Park on Saturday with his wife, Betsy, and their four kids, greeting Tigers fans -- who also might be potential voters -- and handing out T-shirts bearing his name.



The shirts bear the candidate's name, but the D in DeVos had been transformed into the Old English D that also graces the uniforms of Detroit's newest heroes.

Gov. Jennifer Granholm is in the same boat. She wasn't at Saturday's game, but hopes to get to at least one of them.


DeVos was there, Granholm was not.



Hope he is busy tonight... or Granholm might have to catch a game in St. Louis when Dick puts us deep in the hole. ;-)
