The catch he made may have won that game but like you suggested if i remember correctly it may have been better if he had not made that play. First time i have seen Toronto play. They are better than i thought.

He comes back from difficult times remarkably well. And, like you wrote, he may help the Tigers particularly if/when they face the Yankees.<BR/>CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-1159282011010853012006-09-26T10:46:00.000-04:002006-09-26T10:46:00.000-04:00Golf Guru,You and I disagee on this one.

They won just three games last season and lost their first two games this season at home. To me, the Lions seem totally unbothered by losing. It has just become an accepted part of life. I find that disturbing.<BR/>CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-1159269601699925302006-09-26T07:20:00.000-04:002006-09-26T07:20:00.000-04:00Regarding the Lions, pro football has clear limita...Regarding the Lions, pro football has clear limitations in terms of the adjustments you can make once the season is underway. The Packers game is NOT more evidence of a Millen failure. Objectively, it and the post-game reaction of the players is evidence of a team that has progressed. The offensive play shows promise - although not good enough, and the defense clearly has work to do, and couldAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-1159246989613682292006-09-26T01:03:00.000-04:002006-09-26T01:03:00.000-04:00Warrenmott72,When it comes down to the Tigers rota...Warrenmott72,<BR/>When it comes down to the Tigers rotation for the playoffs, I feel about it the way you do. I do think it is more important for them to win the division and face Oakland than it is for Leyland to set up the Tigers rotation in any particular way.<BR/>CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-1159215980587096502006-09-25T16:26:00.000-04:002006-09-25T16:26:00.000-04:00Thinkingman,This off season is going to be a reall...Thinkingman,<BR/>This off season is going to be a really, really interesting one. Where in the past, the Tigers have shaken it up with big free agent signings, this off season figures to be one for trades.

He did a lot of dumb things for a long time. But it never got to the point of total disgust like with the Lions and Ford because Ilitch is much different owner than Ford. He does care about winning and losing. He did win with the Red Wings. Losing does eat at him. He made his own money, Pat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-1159201667307526942006-09-25T12:27:00.000-04:002006-09-25T12:27:00.000-04:00Mr. C.

I know i have mentioned this before but what a lineup they would have if they could acquire a big time hr hitter to hit next to Magglio. Don't know if it was KC a weak team or the tigs got it back together again. All those runs at KC may be attributed to less than great pitching. Tigs looked goodAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-1159198545196846032006-09-25T11:35:00.000-04:002006-09-25T11:35:00.000-04:00Nick P,I feel for all MSU fans out there.

You feel like you're beating a dead horse when you examine the Millen situation. It is just so absurd he still is running that team. He has done a very poor job. Sunday's loss to the Packers was just more proof.<BR/>CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-1159193688842447242006-09-25T10:14:00.000-04:002006-09-25T10:14:00.000-04:00Hey Book,So I had a fun weekend, watching MSU whil...Hey Book,<BR/>So I had a fun weekend, watching MSU while enjoying a few cocktails, well technically the end of the evening i wasn't enjoying much, and then proceed to go to the lions game sunday.
