One of the reasons I feel the World Baseball Classic must go: If the Tigers reach the World Series and it goes to a Game 7, it will be played Nov. 5 in Detroit.
Baseball? In Detroit? On November 5? The mean temperature that day is 46. The average low is 39. The record low is 18. It is rapidly approaching winter at that point. It's not like the weather is any better in New York or Philadelphia or Boston at that time. How about Minnesota when the Twins get their outdoor park?
There is no crying in baseball - nor should there be baseball in November. Period.

- I've written it before. I'll write it again. Another statue should be added to Comerica Park. The '84 Tigers should get their due. I believe the statue should of Lou Whitaker and Alan Trammell together.

- Predicting football games is an odd venture. Convoluted thinking seems to rule - at least in my mind. But here we go...
Although I think Michigan has a better team than Michigan State this season, I still believe MSU will win Saturday. Here's why: Michigan isn't as good as its 4-0 record indicates, and the Spartans not as bad as their 1-3 record suggests. Given the game is in East Lansing, Saturday will present a leveling of water.
Told you - pretzel logic.

- Anybody still want Matthew Stafford replaced as the Lions' starting quarterback?
