My apologies for not blogging for a while. The high school football season was very, very busy for our sports department this past fall.

Hi everybody, Several local teams are still alive in the Little League/Big League baseball and softball. Most of these teams are playing in Cheboygan, Bay City, Jackson, Tecumseh, etc... Others have advanced to playing in other states. Consequently, I can't get cameras out to cover them like I could the past few weeks when all the games were...

Gotta admit, anchoring sports Tuesday night was a true joy. Being able to watch the Pistons hammer the Sixers.. at the same time the Tigers held on to win at Yankee Stadium.. and knowing that game three between the Red Wings and Avalanche was still to come. It was an awesome night to be a Detroit sports fan. The Pistons played with a sense of...

I normally don't do blog entries on the weekend, but I just can't resist this one. It's time for Gary Sheffield to hang it up. His shoulder injury is obviously not okay and he's an MLB-worst 0-for-14 with runners in scoring position. A perfect example of this was last night's game against the Angels. Instead of just trying to get a base hit,...

See what happens when the Tigers get their true leadoff hitter back? Curtis Granderson gets activated right before he helped his team hang 19 on the Rangers. Clete Thomas was optioned back to Toledo to create the roster spot for Granderson. Curtis did what a leadoff hitter is supposed to do - get on base and let the 'heavy-lifters' do the work....

Zach Miner needs a demotion. He needs to get sent down to Triple-A Toledo for several months to get things figured out. Tuesday night, he had yet another bad outing. Miner pitched one-third of an inning, alowed a run on two hits. That's just flat out unacceptable, in my humbe opinion. Bad pitching has become a trend for Miner, who last week...

I thought first-round playoff stress was only reserved for the Red Wings and their fans. Kudos to the Wings for finally putting away those pesky Predators and advancing. But on the same day the Wings close out their series with Nashville, the Pistons decide they want to make things interesting with the Sixers. This veteran Pistons team has no...

I'm certainly not happy that the Tigers lost 11-1 last night to the Indians, but for some reason I'm not as upset as I thought I'd be. I never expected Detroit to rip off 20 straight wins and dig themselves out of this early-season hole by mid May. The Tigers have never been successful against Fausto Carmona. He owned us last year and it appears...
