What Happened?:

Well, alot of things have happened since I last posted something on here and I also made small renovations to the site.  What I am thinking of doing on here is by changing the looks depending on the time of the season, the site is still the Legends of the Silverdome but since it’s baseball season I went with a little bit of a Tiger theme to it.

The Draft:

My thoughts on the Draft, well it’s hard to say I mean the Draft is basically a crap-shoot and alot of people will not know just good it was until 3 years from now.  As for Matt Stafford, man that is alot of money.  He is, I believe, the highest paid QB in the NFL and hasn’t played a snap in the NFL.  Not bad for someone who could be the backup for Caulpepper this Season.  I was really hoping they would get Rey Maualuga with the 20th pick but decided for Pettigrew, then he slipped again into the Lions lap with the 33rd pick but passed him up again for Louis Delmas, then a few picks later he went to the Bengals. Hmmm……

Goodnight, Farewell:

Well the Cavaliers put away the Pistons in easy fashion which ended their run of 6 consecutive years reaching the Eastern Conference Finals.  It was a heck of a run and even though they won 1 Championship and reached the Finals twice, but it feels like they should have had at least 2 more Finals apperances.  Obviously, the Billups for Iverson deal didn’t work out for the Pistons but even if they have kept Billups, they still would not have beaten Cleveland had they met in the Conference Semis or maybe the Conference Finals.  It will be an interesting offseason for the Pistons and come next year, the starting 5 will have a different look next year.

Not a Bad Start:

It was nice to see the Tigers have a good West coast trip last week, and now they start a homestand by playing the Yankees, (who they beat 4-2), then the struggling Indians, and finally the Twins.  Verlander had a solid outing tonight, keeping the Yankees at bay with 7 solid innings and 9 strikeouts.  I hope he can keep this up throughout the season but who knows.  It also looks like the new batting stance for Inge has worked out because so far this season he is leading the team in 7 HR, 17 RBI , and he is looking like a Gold Glove candidate this year. So right as of right now the Tigers are in 1st place in the Division which is a far cry from a year when they were towards the bottom.
