Operation: Salvage the Season officially began with a letter to Detroit Tigers' owner, Mike Ilitch.
The letter (which can be viewed here) was mailed to Mr. Ilitch this afternoon and is expected to arrive in Detroit on Friday, April 18 at the latest.
The point of the letter is simply to make Mr. Ilitch aware of RepcoLite's willingness to do whatever we can to address the lackluster play on the field.
In the letter, we suggest that we believe a large part of the Tigers initial slow start is due to the fact that they are likely dividing their attentions between "honey-do" spring home improvement projects and baseball.
And that's not just crazy talk--not just something we made up because we thought it sounded good. This information comes from a reliable source deep in the Tigers organization who will heretofore be referred to only by his code name: Sacrifice Fly--our little "fly on the wall".
Sacrifice Fly has insight into the team's mood, the feeling in the locker room as well as what's going on in the players' lives off the field. Here is an excerpt from his initial report to RepcoLite:

"Overheard _______ mention that winter's been hard on his deck and
that he doesn't know how to get it looking good in time for a big barbecue
he's planning for later this Spring.
"He says the project has him so "distracted" that he can't even concentrate
on hitting"

Needless to say, once we received this report, we called an emergency meeting at RepcoLite and drafted the letter to Mr. Ilitch. We don't intend to tell him how to run his baseball team, but neither can we sit idly by and watch the team self-destruct. If RepcoLite can bring some clarity to some struggling players and help get their heads back in the game, we are eager to help.
