Eat em up

A cool link I came across in my web searches. This site profiles the guy who started the "Eat 'em up Tigers" chant around the Comerica Park area.

Halfway there


How bout the Pistons.
After looking shaky for a second straight game, they found a way to pull out another win to take a 2-0 series lead over the Cavaliers. Two more victories to go to reach the NBA Finals.

And how about the finish to the game. An amazing shot by Sheed off the baseline and great defense by Rip on LeBron. And no it definitely wasn't a foul. Even if it might have been, Cleveland can't say that cost them the game because Larry Hughes had a wide open short shot that he missed following that. The Cavs had their chances but the Pistons were able to get it done. Now lets hope for at least a split at the Q.



Ooooooo ee o Magglio
I don't know what has gotten into Magglio but I'm loving his production this season. He has been nothing short of amazing and is producing like he did in his days on the South side of Chicago. From 1999-2003, Ordonez hit 29 or more home runs, drove in at least 99 runs and hit better than .300 every year for the White Sox. His best season came in 2002 when he batted .320 and had 47 doubles, 38 home runs and 135 RBIs.

This season he has been tearing it up and is leading the American League in RBIs (45), runs (42) and doubles (23). He is hitting .361 and is on pace to drive in 161 runs. I wish I had him on my fantasy baseball team. Hopefully he can keep this production up for the entire season.



Michigan is No. 1

And what is up with Michigan being the state with the highest gas price. Michigan has an average of 3.53 which is just higher than Illinois (3.52) and even more than California (3.43) and Hawaii (3.40). Shouldn't Michigan get a break with the gas prices considering we are the automobile capital (well used to be).

Flip's poster dunk

Despite the Pistons losing and being unable to complete the sweep of the Bulls, Flip Murray's dunk on Kirk Hinrich had to be the best play of the day.





Hope the Pistons can close them out tomorrow at home and reach the Eastern Conference finals again
