This is actually the first year I remembered it coming up, so instead breaking down last night’s 12-9 loss to the Royals, we’ll look back at the last 4 years. In the beginning, I started this with 3 other authors. The term author is generous [...]

Future’s Game and Softball game reports

11.07.2005

So I tried the AudioBlogging thing, but I screwed up the first time and hung up before publishing the post.

Based on the current high price contracts, the younger core reaching arbitration, and any free agent acquisitions the Tigers payroll could swell to triple digits.
