Detroit Tigers, 2009, Part III: How long does it take for Leyland to screw this up?

Heh. yeah, wait until you see how colorful Valverde is. He'd probably help Zoom light firecrackers in the dugout.


My over /under on PM's tonight is 30. Michigan can't help but crap all over themselves like that this season, and Ferris has enough skill and firepower (like the Michigan of old) to play over their indiscretions.

If Llewellyn and Lebler are in the lineup, chances are they will be the first two to go. It all depends on who the CCHA sends to Yost- probably Shegos or McInchak.

Michigan 2, Ferris St 0... and thus Ferris clinched the "we are frauds" title they were trying not to believe. Two weekends, two times shut out.

As long as he doesn't join Zoom for a round of Guitar Hero...

No, not at all. Michigan may not be "vintage" but they played solid, defensive hockey last night. Yost is still not the easiest place to play. Michigan goes up to BR and wins, then maybe you can pull out that label. I'm not, Ferris has a roster of talented kids that are going to bounce back.

Streaker... I watched that game last night. Michigan was good...but Ferris did very little to justify their lofty ranking, too. They have now been shut out in two of their last three games and lost all three.

But, I will reserve total judgment until tonight. If Michigan punks them again up in BR, then we are right back to my initial post.

And streaker and I were also in attendance. Ferris also played last night without their #2 scorer and #2 defenseman, I'm assuming due to injuries.

Bad time for injuries.... really bad time. But, great teams (or teams trying to become great) find ways to get the job done. I will be interested in seeing how tonight's game goes.

Nice job by Ferris to sack up and win tonight at home.... it was HUGE. Redmond redeemed himself nicely with the game-winner with about 25 seconds to go. Game looked headed to OT after the PPG by Dave Wohlberg tied it up.

Should be interesting to see the CCHA the rest of the way now....

If Gerald Laird hits .300 with good power next season (15-20 bombs), I'll pay off our bet even if we win 140 games. Not only that, but I'll take apart both Zambonis at Joe Louis Arena using nothing more than a toothbrush and a butter knife, and I'll re-assemble them in front of home plate right before first pitch of Opening Day 2011.

This guy couldn't hit water if he was thrown off of a battleship.

If this happens, I'd like a front row seat, please.

I would be right next to ya Mel.

We would have to figure out the Over/Under on the number of parts that don't get put back on those zambonis.

Has anyone heard when Tigers Opening Day tickets will go on sale? I can't find anything on their website, besides the suites. Thanks

It's usually around the end of February or early March. I would guess that March 6th would be the day that single game tickets go on sale.

Boras is calling the News, apparently trying to put public pressure on the Tigers to sign Damon for some outrageous amount of money. Thoughts?

I'd like the Tigers to give me $14 million too, but that's also probably a bad idea.

Yeah, there's some price at which he'd be worth it, but it's not close to that. And on second thought, someone should start a 2010 thread before we get into spring training.
