Summer time blues

First of all, I want to appologize for my long absence. I have been really busy with work and I have been out of town the greater part of the past two weeks. Time to talk sports.

With the basketball season winding down, and no Red Wing playoff hockey, after the End of June it is going to be a long summer. Yes, we have the Tigers, but they are not going to the World Series this year. They have looked good and they have looked ugly, but that is what to expect from this team. They are still a few years away from being very competitive. We need Bonderman and the rest of the staff to mature and hope that some of our young pitchers start to show some promise. What that happens look out, we will have a good team on our hands.

The Pistons take on the Miami Heat starting Monday. Can the Pistons take it to Miami and pull off, what many call an upset? I think the Pistons are too tough from top to bottom to let Miami sneek out of the East. Big Daddy is hurt and the Pistons can through too many people at him all night long. It will be a tough series but the Pistons will be back in the Finals to face Tim Duncan and the Spurs.

After another Piston Championship, we have two months or so until the Lions open the regular season. Does Joey have the will to take the Lions into the playoffs this season? I am hoping so, but he has not shown me much the past three years, so the jury is still out on that. I am hoping Big Mike Williams and Shaun Cody will fit in nicely with the team. At first I did not like the Williams pick, but if we have an offense like we did in the early 90's, that would be great to see. Looking forward to another Piston Championship and the start of the NFL Season.
