The
Weekend Recap from the past weekend in Detroit Sports; the Tigers continued to
struggle offensively and defensively as they dropped three of four games
against the Rangers and the Red Wings were bounced from the playoffs by the
Predators and
A curious story coming out of Tigers camp is how the Tiger fan base has completely turned their backs on Brandon Inge. I mean, I don’t blame them. He’s hitting .056 heading into tomorrow’s series with the Seattle Mariners and yet Leyland still trots him out in a shower of boos from the fans. I wish the Tigers would put him out of his misery. It would benefit Inge and Tiger fans alike but I don’t see it happening anytime soon, and that is what’s so bizarre. Inge is absolutely delusional and the only reason he plays is because Ilitch loves him.
The Tigers dropping three of four to the Rangers in the big picture is not a problem. It’s April (in the D), the Tigers don’t have a healthy pitching staff and their offense will come around, it’s just a matter of time. This division is still theirs to lose and in the end I don’t see that happening but the Inge distraction has to go. This is a World Series caliber team and the fans do not deserve to watch players who have averages below .200 when they come to the ballpark. Call up Danny Worth and give the kid a shot. He was a 2nd round pick and at this point, what do the Tigers have to lose?

Moving on, I want to put this Red Wings season behind me and keep this short and sweet. The Wings are old, the Wings are too cozy and the Wings are in need of a major shakeup before the start of next season. Here’s a critical question for Wings fans. Finish this sentence, The Red Wings off-season needs to be __________. My answer; their off-season needs to be daring! I don’t think the Wings can afford be anything other than daring because they going to have to veer off the course that has taken them to the playoffs all these years. This team is in need of a young and big defenseman to replace the loss of Brad Stuart and they need some forwards, especially wingers to anchor their first and second lines. Zach Paraise, Ryan Suter, Alexander Semin and Teemu Selanne would all be great off-season acquisitions that would greatly help them next season. If you have thoughts or an answer to my critical question, leave a comment or hit me up on twitter.
As usual hit me up on Twitter @sportsinthe313, share me on Facebook and check back on Wednesday when I’ll take a look at the Detroit Pistons and what a dumpster fire that franchise has become.
