He had a great work ethic and knew how to bounce back from a bad outing. I see the bullpen as still a sore spot.

I hate knowing that the last two times the Tigers have made it to the postseason, they have been eliminated by two of the worst World Series champions of all time: the 1987 Minnesota Twins and the 2006 St. Louis Cardinals. Kind of funny, but also very frustrating for us in the D.<BR/><BR/>TravisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-28412942343340038462009-01-27T15:42:00.000-05:002009-01-27T15:42:00.000-05:00How would Michael Vick fare in the Wildcat package...How would Michael Vick fare in the Wildcat package?Troy Wyman, CFP(r)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02157505737289456305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-7183052069917688912009-01-27T12:15:00.000-05:002009-01-27T12:15:00.000-05:00I do not think a wildcat package is a viable offen...I do not think a wildcat package is a viable offense in the NFL. Miami trial was successful against New England, but not as successful in following weeks. Showing something of the talent of NFL coaches. It doesn't take long to counter plays. The axiom of the NFL is bigger, faster, stronger. In high school you hope to have "a" Division I talent on your squad.

This week, 1968 is highlighted on Baseball's Season, and they are replaying the 2005 Homerun Derby from Comerica Park. Like you, I checked out some of the replays from the 2006 World Series. I was really excited to watch Game 4 of the ALCS.

Part of me wanted to see him stay on in a coaching capacity, but I don't know that interests him. <BR/><BR/>Do you feel the bullpen has made great strides?
