Why So Mad Miguel?

I hope those balls Miguel Cabrera keeps crushing get a nice resting stop on a mantle somewhere so they can recover from reentry. In his first 5 games this year he has managed to hit .611 with 3 HRs and 10 RBIs while helping the Tigs lick their wounds from the first series against Toronto. At this pace Cabrera could become the all time leader in HRs and has only a career average of .320!! Most power hitters are known for their all or nothing power but Cabrera breaks that mold and seems to be able to put the ball in play with every at bat.


GM of the Tigers (Dave Dombrowski) has received criticism in the past few years as the Tigers have not lived up to their billing and players such as Jurgens blossoming into a great player. Yeah that sucks, but how do you quantify that against the acquisition and long term contract of 25 YEAR OLD sure fire Hall-of-Famer who may end up with some of the greatest numbers of all time?




As long as Cabrera keeps putting this team on his back and staying in the division race, Dombroski won't have to think about those bad decision's. He can sit tight knowing that yeah he made some bad choices, but damn it how many other GMs can say they acquired a player as young and talented as Cabrera coming into his prime?

The best is yet to come Detroit.

One in a million shot or fake? You tell me

Did UCLA Just Win The National Title?

I was up on Monday to watch the great game that was UCLA vs. Tennessee. Yes I understand that UCLA was the underdog and that their QB was a third stringer, but come on. I think the game was more of a testament to how bad Tennessee actually is. When the opposing teams QB keeps throwing pick after pick and you can't get any points out of it, that is just a bad team.

Yes I was impressed with the UCLA defense more than anything, but the press conference, fireworks, and Neuheisel going on and on about how they are taking over Cally = A big ass whipping when the best program of the past decade (USC just in case you don't have a clue) meets up with them later in the year. It will be fun to watch the UCLA fans cry after that one and I'm sure Neuheisel will stomp his feet in a few years and leave UCLA in a mess of penalties like he has with both his former employers.

As for Michigan :( I was very disappointed in the defense more than anything. I couldn't understand why we weren't putting pressure on Johnson the QB for Utah. We just thought the line was so good they would plow through their O-Line and get to their QB, this never happened until we made the changes in the second half and managed to stop them with consistency. I just don't understand why the coaches waited, I'm looking at you Shafer.

The QBs were also bad and I knew they would be. I just thought they could at least throw a ten yard pass with decent accuracy, I was wrong again. Threet just keep throwing the ball higher and higher and Sheridan keep throwing the ball too far away from the WRs to even have a chance of making a play.

Many Michigan fans want to cry and say RR is horrible and how could they make such a big mistake, these are probably the same fans who sit through an entire Michigan game on their hands expecting a Michigan win and wondering why they never have great home field advantage. RR has said it will take patience since day one and he is right, even though I'm sure he also expected a better showing.

Michigan will be great once again but it won't be this year or maybe even the next. RR will get his guys in here and he will show everyone they made the right choice. Most of this mess can be blamed on Llyod Carr who I think was a great coach but left the university in a bad spot with the timing of his resignation. Our Line is awful and we are starting guys who just a week ago had never played on the O-Line ever before.

PLEASE Michigan fans just be patient and don't rush to judge RR in his first season, we don't have the players too do what he is asking. We will be just fine but I've learned a lot about the Michigan fans just through one game. I think most of them don't have a clue about the roster and how bad it is, they just expect it to be Michigan and have the best talent, we don't as of now. I'm starting to see some of the truth in many of the stones thrown by other fan bases as to why they hate Michigan fans.

I'm sad about this and just hope everyone can see that RR will turn this program into what it once was. I think I also remember Llyod Carr losing his first game? Isn't he the same coach who lead a great team last year over the mighty Appy State? Yeah we should get Carr back here as fast as we can because he never had any losses and none more embarrassing than losing to a good team in UTAH? Also the great Pete Carroll lost to Utah his first season as well and what has he done with USC except contend and win National Championships year after year.

OK I'm done ranting. On Saturday Michigan did get some good news, Tate Forcier commited to the Wolverines. I think between him and Shav'd Beaver we will have two great QBs that can get what RR wants done. Checkout his website at www.qbforce.com You can also check out videos of him at the site and here on the side, just click his name to take you there.

Now for some videos to pass the time before day one of the NFL, YEAH!!!!!

Check out minor leaguer Fernando Perez as he gives an acting class while playing baseball

Down Goes Memphis!!

Wow what a great game last night! Good to see that the final game of the tournament was also one of the best. I guess the critics were right in the end and the free throw shooting of Memphis did comeback to haunt them. We will also be seeing that 3 point shot by Mario Chalmers for many years to come. Great win by the Jayhawks who never gave up even when the game looked to have been over in the final minutes.

Plenty to look forward to next year if Bob Knight does not take another coaching job. It is only a matter of time until he goes off on Digger Phelps.



If your at spring break DON'T start to abuse the ladies infront of everyone it is not a good idea



Hopefully they take the metal bats out of college baseball someday. Then maybe we won't have guys signing with the pros liek Drew Henson or this happening

If The U.S. Government Cared About Other Issues As Much As Steriods, They Might Actually Get Something Done

We can all breath a big sigh of relief, the U.S. Government is cracking down on steroids, again. I'm so glad that they have taken tax payers money and the governments time to bring this epidemic to it's knees. I mean why spend time on important issues that ACTUALLY effect the daily lives of the average American? Don't go and look at the lesser problems in this country like drugs (heroin, cocaine, meth, etc.), health-care, the falling dollar, inflation concerns, rising energy cost, dependence on oil, foreign affairs, immigration, terrorism, AIDS, Cancer, the housing fallout, securing the borders of our country, or the outsourcing of the thousands of jobs in this country. Take a back seat you guys, the government has to have integrity for the game of baseball before we can take on any of those minor issues. It just makes sense.

How much money has been put into the fight against steroids? It has been rumored that the MLB spent nearly 20 million to get the great Mitchell Report. As for the taxpayer and how much of their money has been spent on the war on steroids, the answer is a little more vague. Citing an article through yahoo.com (Click here for it) this was the best answer I could come up with from the article:

Government officials said they could not estimate how much the steroid initiatives have cost, but the efforts can be measured beyond anecdotal evidence. Between 2001 and 2006, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has more than quadrupled the number of man hours devoted to steroids cases, and the figure for the fiscal year of 2006 is on pace to approach 80,000 man hours, DEA figures show. This year the DEA has initiated 138 steroids cases, more than double the number initiated in 2001, and the largest steroids bust in U.S. history.

So knowing about how great the government is at budgeting I'm sure that it reaches it into the many millions. Let alone the time that we pay our elected officials to talk about this issue on capital hill while on the tax payers dime.

The best part about the whole thing is that it took all of these millions of dollars to come to the conclusion of what everyone knew, even you Washington (you don't get a pass for this either). Steroids and HGH (which is legal because our government says so) were/are widely being used throughout sports especially in baseball. Lead by a buffoon of a commissioner who has turned a blind eye at the whole ordeal, along with owners, until it was on the cover of every newspaper and Washington was screaming because so (gotta get in on the hot button topic you know).

They sit there and go after Selig and former players like they had killed thousands of people or committed espionage, with there chins held so high like they didn't have a hand in it. Maybe if you looked closer at prescription drug regulations and our borders that would help to dwindle the use of steroids? No it is all baseballs fault for this, pathetic you are there to sit and act like you are not just as much at fault for this. Then you even insult the American public more by using their money to go after it all. If you would've been doing your job and working on issues TOGETHER that truly do affect our country this may have been a smaller problem than it has become, if it really is this big problem that you think it is.

I don't mean to dwindle any families who have been hurt by the use of steroids or lost a loved one do to the abuse of the drug or the long term side effects of it. Steroids are bad and our children should not look up to sports stars who have become so by cheating others who have played by the rules only to be beaten out by a cheater. Compared to the bigger issues that our country is dealing with right now at a time of war, steroids are at the bottom of the totem pole.

Just think what the millions of dollars spent on what everyone already knew could have been used for. What about the true heroes of our country who've comeback to the states only to be provided sub par health care? I'm sure 20 millions dollars could help them out. Don't you think thatthe money would've been better used on a solider who has lost an arm, fellow solider, or been forever emotionally scarred by fighting for the privileges we have in this great country? Maybe that is not what you would've used the money on, I don't know. I just want you to ask yourself what you would've used all this time and money on, because I guarantee steroids will not be your first choice.

You have dropped the ball once again Washington. I love this country and everything it stands for, but I'm dissapointed and sadden that our government has become so pathetic and stagnet against the real issues our country faces. At least you got your tv time, right?
