Red Wings? No! Pistons? No! Tigers? ...hmmm

A friend in Detroit mentioned earlier this week that about a month ago the city wasn't debating whether the Red Wings or the Pistons would win, but whether the championship parades would be held on the same day. So much for that idea.

With the Pistons dropping game 6 in Miami this evening, all attention turns to the those frisky Tigers.

Can the Tigers follow in the footsteps of the '05 White Sox and maintain this level of play for the next few months? It's hard to say, but for those of who learned the game watching the likes of Trammell, Whitaker, Parrish, Gibson, and Morris (ah heck...toss in Chet Lemon too), it has been a long time.

Well....a Detroit "long time" means nothing here on the Chicago north side, but you get the idea. For those worried about Owen's loyalties...we'll just agree to disagree that he has a National League and an American League favorite for now. At the game in two weeks, he'll be wearing both logos proudly.
