Country Joe and the Fish?


Leyland fine with Bonderman drinking and fishing

By JOHN LOWE • FREE PRESS SPORTS WRITER • August 21, 2008

Tigers manager Jim Leyland suggested that right-hander Jeremy Bonderman can't do much conditioning right now because he can't yet throw following his surgery.

"He puts on his bib overalls -- no shoes and socks -- got a straw hat, got a case of beer next to him, got the hat slightly over his eyes with a fishing pole in his hand and taking a nap," Leyland said. "That's what he's been doing ... I'm not being funny. That's what he's doing. He's sitting by a pond with a fishing pole and a case of beer and a straw hat and having a good time, and he should. Why shouldn't he? He can't do anything. He'll be fine. ... He'll be raring to go (in spring training)."

    Maybe we should all take a lesson from Bonderman. Go fishin' with a case of beer and a big hat and fall asleep. Oh yeah, we don't continue to get paid. And unlike Bonderman, we're still Tiger fans.

    The truer question is will Leyland be raring to go is spring training. Will Bonderman be in the starting rotattion or one of the Bud girls?
