Have you considered it might be The Curse of Tiger Stadium?
1) Wings lose immediately after TRO is lifted by Judge Edwards.
2) Ilitch puppet, Jim Leland, says he's glad the Queen of Diamonds is finally being leveled, because, as we know, Leland spent so much time at TS and manged Pirates in that lovely old classic ballpark, Three Rivers Stadium. Tigers slide begins in Pittsburgh, coincidentally and The Ilitch puppet can't seem to manage his way out of a paper bag [[not unusal, though -- look what he did at 3 Rivers all those yrs. on its magnificent speedy turf w/players like Bonds and Bonilla in late 80's. Oh yeah -- absolutely nada. The team despised him and Barry finally got the ef out of Pitt and 3 Rivers Prison Yard, as we referred to it when visiting it from NY).
3) June 2008: Demolition begins in June and continues until Sept. and we find Tigers firmly entrenched in the familiar cellar after being touted as best team in baseball on paper.
4) Do I need to mention Cards Win in 5 in 2006? [[Again -- Leland's ability to handle rich young players questionable).
5) Lions never were the same after leaving TS for Superdome, and now -- playing at Ilitch Foxtown Field venue -- set new record for futility.
6) I hear attendance is way down over at the classy confines of that real classic ballpark, The Coma.
