Better analysis, better commentary, and more relevant information than the tired old Triple-Crown-stats-and-Win-Loss-Record pablum that you get from the "established" sources. <br> <br>Keep up the good work, billfer. You are an inspiration to another starving writer.

Keep up the good work, billfer. You are an inspiration to another starving writer.

At some point the blogging community will be recognized like it has elsewhere. The Tigers have always been an organization that is slow to react to change. As a transplant living in SoCal I get the most useful info from this site, from Tigerscentral, and from the blog at MiLive. The official website has some good stuff although a lot of it is fluff. I don't see much of use on the Freep's site. The News has better coverage, better analysis and better statistical coverage. I enjoy Henning and Gage and Gage a lot. But I also find lots of insightful analysis at the other sites. Eventually the bloggers and website contributors will get their due. You should be first in line Billfer. Well said Billfer.

You say whats on your mind, as apparent in this post, and thats what fans react to and then state their opinion. Newspapers have advertisers and traditionalist to worry about, we dont. All we can do is continue to write, and let the world know what we thing. <br> <br>Keep up the good work, Bill. <br> <br>Ryan The more sites like yours out there, the better.

I had a short-lived Detroit sports website that I ran for a while, but it's a huge commitment. Just look at the sportswriters we're stuck with in Detroit -- dinosaurs like Joe Falls, know-nothing nincompoops like Rob Parker and Drew Sharp who will say anything to stir up controversy (but who just end up looking stupid as a result!), and Mitch Albom, who's too busy working on his next fairy tale to write an informed sports column. Give me Wojo, then the indie websites. Oh yeah, and I'm a transplant to Madison, WI as well. <br> <br>Personally, my favorite is detroitsportsrag.com, but for the Tigers this site is tremendous!
