Well…was just skimming over Twitter and found that Jim Leyland is retiring as the manager of the Tigers and, while it is not a big surprise, it is always a little sad when one of the nice guys in sports is at the end of his career. It will be interesting to see who they hire for the next one…I do feel bad for the assistant coaches that will probably lose their jobs, too, but that is how it works in sports….

We may be getting Helm back for the Wings by the weekend and I hope he gives them the spark they have been lacking this season…again, though, I feel bad for Tootoo who it looks like will be cut to make room under the cap…

I don’t feel bad for the Tigers, though, they just looked terrible in the playoffs and did not deserve to win….and, this was a year that I followed them more than I have in years because they looked good on paper…and the boredom that comes with being unemployed had something to do with my watching….it’s kinda like the Lions…I watch them even though they have been pretty bad my entire life…and that is a really long time…
