Detroit teams are going for the Trifecta again today, but even better. The Tigers beat the Yankees 8 - 4 to complete their first sweep of the Yankees and Yankee stadium since 1966. i.e. it had never happened in my lifetime. It is such a shame that they are closing the stadium after this year.
The Pistons beat the 76ers by 24, 101 to 77. They jumped out to a 10-0 lead and never looked back. They survived the first round and now move on to the next round against the Orlando Magic.
And as I am typing this Johan Franzen just scored his 11th goal of the playoffs and the Wings now have a 6 to 1 lead over the Colorado Avalanche with 8 minutes left to play in the 2nd period. Anything can still happen, but I'd say that the odds are pretty good that the Wings are about to complete a sweep and move on to the next round.
Another great sports day in the Motor City (although all 3 teams were on the road so none of this actually happened in the Motor City).
Edit: Make that Wings game 7-1 after two periods.

The Cards game last nite was hilarious. The Cards win on a walk off HR and they act like they had just won the World Series. It is less than 30 games into the season and they are acting like this was a must win game to put themselves into the playoffs.
Go figure.

Bad management, Bad player moves. No one wants to play in Pittsburgh, it's not a flashy market. I think the only way they would get players in is if they got into another string like they had in the 70's and early 90's. If they got into the playoffs enough some players would go there for a chance for a ring otherwise it might be like the 40's and 50's where they stunk it up and were always at the bottom of the division.

Wilson Betemit is the worst  fielder in the history of third base. I want Scott Proctor back

Carlos Guillen hasn't been very impressive at 3rd base either, although he did make one hell of a play yesterday. I assume that rileydog22 is referring to Belemit's matador play at 3rd where he yelled OLE and turned and let the ball go by him like he was waving a red cape to a bull. It was a good game last night. Todd "The rollercoaster" Jones definitely made it interesting at the end by letting in 3 runs in the 9th in order to close the gap from 6-2 to 6-5.

It wasn't just that play, Betemit had about six singles go straight through him. If Morgan Ensburg was playing third, Yanks win that game by 2.

An interesting read about a unemployed ball player.

Well you wouldn't want Johnson. He must be at the end of his career.....at least one of these years.

Yeah, him and Fielder (I always associate the two because they're the NL's most prominant fat sluggers) have both been struggling this year.
