I too would like to see Pudge at first with Vance behind the plate. I hope the guy we gave up for Perez-i-dent does not turn out to be decent. If I remember he was a catcher and we seem to be short on catchers in the system. Billfer great job as always on the info Good luck to anyone going for World Series tix. As far as moving the game to 4:30, its fine with me, great excuse to leave work early, catch the game and hang with the family. Hello,

Billfer great job as always on the info

Good luck to anyone going for World Series tix.

As far as moving the game to 4:30, its fine with me, great excuse to leave work early, catch the game and hang with the family.

They are on an unbelievable run here in the postseason. Let Leyland be Leyland and watch the results. <i>In Leyland We Trust.</i> Right now you could put Rosie Perez in the Tigers lineup and they would win.

I think that goes without saying. I dont like Neife anymore then the next guy. However, if he is who Leyland feels most comfortable with defensively AND the Tigers can score 8 runs while he is in the line-up then I have no problem with the decision to play him.

Actually, that Mark Teixera talk, which caught me out of the middle of nowhere, didn't sound half bad, but really, I am not going to give up Bonderman at this point in time. I'm probably the only one who doesn't mind a 430 start, as I work in the evenings and quite likely high school football would have pre-empted the Tigers game on the radio. So I'd have not seen or heard it! I’m with Kyle.

Omar can drive in runs and Neifi can keep them off the board. Leyland does not like Infante at all, seems like he will be part of "the huge offseason trade" everyone is talking about.

But look at the bright side: 1) Should be (marginally) warmer. 2) Less chance of showing up and then having game postponed due to weather--although there is a chance of showing up and not having the game completed until 6 or 7 hours after the game is supposed to start.

They did it so the Mets will be the night game. Weather wasn't a factor as I doubt NY will be much nicer than Det. For all of us who have jobs, babysitters, etc. to arrange it is a pain in the *ss. Thanks Bud. Just make sure you get those NY teams in primetime! -Sam MLB is doing it again:

All kidding aside, worst-case scenario I always thought he had at least Jacque Jones-type tools. Wells would be a bad idea. Not only based upon what he wants to get paid, but his numbers are not all that gaudy (in light of the money/hype). Plus, I'd say Maybin isn't all that far away from patrolling some section of Comerica's spacious outfield. Don, I personally think Granderson projects more as a Granderson.
