But I agree, he does have to start making a shot or two here and there and grabbing a few more boards.<BR/>CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-20816421973172175202007-05-15T14:11:00.000-04:002007-05-15T14:11:00.000-04:00Webber's legs are shot.

Dice K is pretty good, but there are going to be times when the Tigers get to him. It just wasn't their night. This is where Verlander has to come through. They really need a win in this series and with Bonderman and Rogers out, he has to step up and be the ace.

It's important they win at least one game in Boston. The Red Sox pitching is much better than it had been. The key is Beckett. He tends to get hurt at odd times. Webber is not looking good. The Pistons should blow them out of the gym tonight. But what about on the road later in the playoffs?

First off, I was really looking forward to Dice and Nate pitching. I thought Nate pitched well, obviously Dice had a very solid game. But I gained a real appreciation for a patient offense. Even though nate seemed to pitch ok, it seemed every inning there was a batter who would have a 10-12 pitch at bat, just keep fouling off Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-40100087684028805642007-05-15T00:25:00.000-04:002007-05-15T00:25:00.000-04:00Pat The Book,In this day and age, someone would ha...Pat The Book,<BR/><BR/>In this day and age, someone would have to be naive not to be a cynic. One of my favorite lines I read in a Frank and Ernest comic strip, it read, "Life's a game and the fix is in." The Pistons playoff run this spring reminds me of Moses Malone's quote from the 76ers championship run back in '83, "Fo', fo', fo'." C. Webb will rebound, literally, and score.

I did, however, see Urbina interact a lot with his teammates and he was odd, to say the least. He did seem to be a trouble maker in the clubhouse.

It would be interesting to read about the team flights back in the early 2000's ... We get bits and pieces, but things didn't sound so good.
