[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="432" caption="Should the Tigers Keep Magglio for One More Year?"][/caption] As most Tigers fans know, the Tigers are finally free of Magglio Ordonez's massive contract.  While Magglio was pretty good at the dish last year, he remained ...

I'm back.  It feels good.  As  you have probably gathered, I have been a bit too busy to keep up with the site.  However, I'm going to try and do my best from this point on out. As I write here ...

DD Making the Tough Calls

Monday, December 14th, 2009 Posted in Brandon Inge, Curtis Granderson, Dave Dombrowski, Edwin Jackson, Magglio Ordonez, Nate Robertson | 2 Comments »

From what I can gather, people are pretty sour over Curtis Granderson being shipped out of town.  I feel that.  I honestly do, I'm just not too upset.  I buy the reasoning.  I think Granderson is a very good player.  ...

Magglio Feeds Me Crow

Friday, October 2nd, 2009 Posted in 2009 Season, Magglio Ordonez | 2 Comments »

I was wrong to criticize Magglio Ordonez.  I pushed the issue more than most did and I still think the Tigers will suffer because of his contract next season.  However, the team would not be in the position they are ...

Stop the Insanity!

Every once in a while, a story pops up that makes no sense at all and you wonder what all parties involved are thinking.  It also happens with friends and family.  You are told that something is happening and you ...
