The Tigers have played exactly .500 from 8/2/06 to 8/2/08." May I ask what is the White Sox record for the past 2 seasons? What is TB Rays record in the past 2 seasons? Get my point? I doubt that you do. “Well, it’s official! The Tigers have played exactly .500 from 8/2/06 to 8/2/08.”

If Pudge was responsible for bringing these future hall of famers to the Tigers because they wanted to play with him, that type of influence would serve him well as our future general manager; that is after the Yankees retire his No. 12.

If we retire Pudge's No., do we have to retire Magg's, Miggy's, Polly's, Guillen's and Inge's too? I think they're just as responsible for the resurgence as Pudge was. The jury is still out on Granderson though. Just got back(short service). If we retire Pudge’s No., do we have to retire Magg’s, Miggy’s, Polly’s, Guillen’s and Inge’s too?

The Yanks had their own No. 7 retired...some guy named Mantle. Just a little trivia on a Sunday morning before I head off to church and light a candle for our beloved team.

I mean I'm guessing they are getting this from someone on the Yankee side...but then again who but Pudge would know this? Leyland and DD would, but whatever you think about him, DD isn't dumb enough to TELL the Yankees he HAS TO trade Pudge...) And Carlos Guillen--who is often spoken of as a team spokesperson and overall smart guy--I think says a ton in his statement about Pudge: ""The Yankees need a catcher. We need a bullpen pitcher," Guillen said. "It's good for us and good for him. I think he's very happy." It's the "I think he's very happy" that jumped out at me. If I had any doubt before that Pudge instigated the trade, Carlos settled it for me with that line... i don’t make a habit of relying on the Daily News, but the scenario they describe–Pudge demanding the trade–makes the most sense, considering the timing of the trade, what everyone was saying before the trade, etc (And BTW what was their source, and why didn’t the Detroit papers get the same info?
