TIGERS!

Its official the Detroit Tigers for the first time since 1987 are in the playoffs.
I'm so happy and excited it is not even funny. OCT. is going be awesome.

I have also given up on the lions, I will still root for them but I now see that they suck and have a long way to go before they are good.

Football

Football is back and I'm in a better place

College:
1)Michigan looks good VS. little sisters of the poor like they usually do we will see what happens sat VS the Irish.

2)Sparty on? They are going to struggle this year I think

3)Irish look good but there test comes this week against Michigan

4)I hate to say it but Bucks look like team to beat

NFL: (This will be all about the Lions)
1)Ernie simns!
2)Lions defense
3)Jon Kinta I think he is the rich mans Joey blueskys
4)I think they looked pretty good even in a loss they were in the game, I think they got a shot

one last thing

I'm scared the tigers are going to choke. I hope they do not but it looks like they might every time they do something to make me less scared the lose two or three in a row, its going to right down to the wire and I'm hoping they can do it

30

The Tiger Magic number is 30 when that number gets to zero the Tigers will have won the AL Central. Plan and simple I love it, I'm hoping so much the can do it and we can play baseball in Oct, in the motor city.

Now the Lions,

I have liked what I have seen on of team during the first two preseason games. I think this year they will have a chance at being in most if not all of the games I just think they are one year away from being really good. They D looks good and Bullocks looks to be a good player for them for a long time. The one thing that I have about this team is what are they going to do with Mike Williams and Charles Rogers. I have not seem them play very much during the preseason and I think that one if not both of them are in danger of getting cut, they are just two big busts.

Tigers Magic

It is true after this weekend I'm now 100% sure the Tigers will make the Playoffs. The Magic that they had this weekend was something special. After Friday night and Craig bottom of the 8th go ahead homerun was on of the best moments of the season. The Fans went crazy as the tigers took the lead and went on to win the game after being down 5-0 in the early part of the game. Then came the next day



and this one was even better. Pudge homerun is going to go down as on of the best moments of a great season. There is some magic going on for the Tigers this year and everyone is staring to believe in them. The Tigers are awesome and I love it. This Team is going to make the playoffs and play hard. I really believe that they can do something in the playoffs to. Get ready Detroit because August, September and October is going to be awesome for the Detroit Tigers and their fans.

A New Hope

Today is the Start of the Detroit Lions 2006 Football Journey

and in the Detroit Free Press Today we had this quote

"Marinelli tells the players they need to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. That's especially true of the players who were in Detroit under Steve Mariucci, who ran a much more friendly camp.

Mariucci didn't have water breaks. He called them "Easter egg hunts." The trainers would toss bottles of Gatorade on the grass, and the players would take a break and find their favorite color/flavor.

Marinelli is no Easter Bunny. One player said he had to scrounge water when he could during the last minicamp"

Which leads me to say this:

The Detroit Lions will be better this year under Rod Marinelli, they will have a chance and they won't give up. I'm giving the Lions the same expectations I gave the Tigers at the start of the year which was about 500 and that's where I think the Lions will end up this year. I hope that they can win a very week NFC North but I don't know if they can, I only know that this year Lions will not give up in any game because Marinelli will not allow that. This team will play hard and be very hard to beat, I just do not know if they have a good enough o-line and quaterbacks to go places. That is why I'm saying the Lions will finish around 500 but I'm hoping for better.

Big Set

The Tigers are 62-30 and the White Sox are 57-34 (tigers have a 4.5 game lead), the 2 teams play each other this week and I think its the biggest 3 game set for the tigers in a LONG LONG TIME.

The Tigers have not even come close to making the playoffs since 1987 (over 500 once in 1993). The Tigers fans haven't seen this in a while and this week the tigers have a chance to prove to everyone that they are for real. People are starting to buy into the team but with a good series against the Sox's they will be looking good.

This series to me will be key in decided the central division, if the tigers can win 2 out of 3 I think the will win the division. This series will show the rest of baseball that the tigers are ready to try to win the World Series.

To other Tigers issues are they going to make a trade?

I don't know if they will or not, I'm leaning to no but if there is someone out there that would help and it wouldn't hurt the team then I have no problem with the tigers doing it. I believe the Tigers going places and I think the next 2+ mouths are going to be special in Detroit and at Comerica Park.

All Star Break

Well Its the all star break and the Detroit Tigers are on top of the AL Central at 59-29. We all know that the tigers haven't done anything in a long time. The last time the Tigers made the playoffs I was just born. I'm truly excited for the first time ever about the Tigers for the rest of the season, I think they will make the playoffs and have a great chance of winning the ALCS. If Metro-Detroit sees oct baseball its going to be great, we love are sports and with the Tigers trying to win the division in Sept. I'm pretty sure that Comerica Park will be full almost every night for the rest of the season.

Also,

World Cup ended yesterday and VIVA ITALIA! What was Zidane thinking with the headbutt, it may have cost the French the World Cup

Shanny, leaving the Wings marks the start of the end for the Red Wings, I believe w/o the captain and Shanny and with Ed Belfour between the pipes the team will not be what we have been custom to seeing in Hockey Town

Until Next Time

P.S. 16 Days till the Start of Lions training Camp

Big Ben

This is my thought about him leaving for chi-town

Well u know what I thought it was gone happen. After all this city and town has done for him making him an all-star and a top level NBA player he bolts on us. But I could see it coming in the playoffs he wasn't the Ben Wallace we knew and loved. I told everyone I thought he was gone to go to Chicago and I was right. And u know what I don't care.

Ben Wallace missing all the free throws in the playoffs killed the pistons i really beleve that missing all thoese free throws took the engery from Ben and the whole team went down as he did. This team next year will rally around Ben being gone. Do i think they will beat Chicago, Miami, or Cleveland. That I'm not sure of but I'm sure not going to miss Ben Wallace that much. I think Dyce will do fine starting next year and with the signing of Nazr today and maybe Bonzi Wells or a good back up Pt Guard this team will go on and try to win again and they won't quit like this year.

Leading Off

I used to have one of these and i got rid of it but now im back because i like having a place to share some stuff about sports, life and other things

Juily is now here and the Tigers are playing pretty good (56-28) and i love it. This is the first time that i can remenber in my life that i actaully want to watch and go to alot of tigers game. It's great and I'm hopeing we can see a run deep into Oct.

I'm not even gonna go to Ben Wallace right now, ill talk about that later. But as someone told me Stevie Y is and will always be the man, the way he went out and everything he did in his carrer was total class and he is one of my heros and always will be.

June has brought us the World Cup and like ESPN has told us "One Game Changes Everything"

and this year the world cup has been great. Many close awsome games and lots of sick goals. When Italy Scored in the 119th miunate. I went crazy, It was awsome.

I'm gonna try to keep up with this blog thing as much as i can, when ever I fell I need to say something I'm gonna try to put it here
