What does everyone think about Bill Laimbeer leaving his WNBA coaching position? How would you like to see Laimbeer taking over the reigns of the Pistons? I have al

So with game 1 in the books, Detroit has shown that familiarity breeds dominance. With that, here are a few things to take away from last nights game 1 and to look for in game 2.
First, it is plain to anyone who has working eyes that Henrik Zetterberg enjoys the hell out of shadowing and dominating Sidney Crosby. It wouldn'y suprise me if Gary Bettman blew up Hanks phone all day asking him to please take it easy on pet Sid. In fact, it's not even funny how glued Z was to The Kid, whose own shadow wasn't even visible. If Zetterberg wins this matchup 85% of the time, this series will be short.

on marks than the rookie. Say Willis builds off his last start and turns his career around in Detroit, and he becomes a reliable 3-4 guy, it still leaves one spot and im not sure Zach Miner gets anybody other than his mother excited when he steps up there. And you can't count on Bonderman, the 2-pitch, 1st inning blues wonder who somehow manages to make it 2-3 times through a major league lineup with a fastball and a slider and a....yea that's it. As if i couldn't inspire more confidence here's another tidbit: the guy has tried to learn a third pitch for 6 years....at least....is anybody gonna call an apple an apple and finally say enough, get in the bullpen or get a 3rd pitch. Now i was always one of his biggest fans, but i just don't believe he can make it anymore on 2 pitches, especially if his fastball has slowed, as the reports say.

bly only get you a top 5 draft pick, for real, James Laurinaitis should start shopping for homes in Detroit right now.
Still, though, Michigan isn't just supposed to skate by with a few wins. They are supposed to rule the big ten and then crumble in defeat under the mere presence of Jim Tressel's sweater vest, but if you've watched this year you know that youth and inexperience has been the main issue with Wolverines. Now, just read that last sentence only replace the words "youth and inexperience" with "fumbles and more fumbles".

ll the blame. Which I'm sure will lead to all sorts of breakdowns and an eventual boom in the Detroit mental health industries.
Again, I ask. What now?
Week 4 is a BYE. Thank god, we can't lose. So, we'll just have to wait and see who gets the job. I imagine the job will go to an immigrant, because they are the only ones who'll do this job that no American wants.

GS IP HR BB SO AVG VORP
Verlander (DET) 4 24.1 4 12 14 0.234 -9.2
Padilla (TEX) 4 26 2 9 15 0.292 5
Obviously, Verlander has not been good in his 4 starts thus far. Padilla, however, has not been much better, despite his overrated 3.12 ERA. Hitters have batted almost .300 against him, and his strikeout rate has been underwhelming. The Tigers should be able to get some good hits off of him tonight.

The Tigers will face off against the Texas Rangers at Comerica Park tonight. Both teams come in with a 7-13 record. Texas, however, was not expected to be good. The Tigers, by contrast, have been incredibly disappointing so far.

Hello fellow sports fans!
My name is Craig. I was born and raised in Michigan (although I left the state for 7 years while I was in the Navy) and am a rabid Tigers fan. I can't tell you how thrilled I am to be blogging about my beloved Tigers.

starting this blog. Mainly I do this to release the inner demon's that come with being a Detroit sports fan. Living in LA allows me to still relish the long faded whipping of the Lakers when ever I'm with one of my local friends, but lately this hasn't been enough to cover up the pain of the three subsequent years of "almost". If surgury were available (and I had good health insurance), I'd have the Pistons removed from my heart. However, with my
