Text of the page (random words):
the shelf for the remainder of the season the doctors say bonderman s elbow is fine but leyland thought today s horrific outing suggested the contrary i know bonderman has pitched lousy for weeks but if he sits the rest of september the tigers chances to make the post season wouldn t appear to be better posted by brian at 6 26 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels detroit tigers jeremy bonderman saturday september 08 2007 franchitti jumps to nascar et tu dario espn com is reporting that indianapolis 500 winner dario franchitti will leave indy car for nascar in 2008 franchitti who is leading the indy car season series point chase heading into tomorrow s final race is said to be joining chip ganassi s nascar team in the number 40 car at first glance this annoys me why because i like open wheel racing i grew up in indy s heyday andretti mears unsers bobby and al foyt while many of those guys could drive anything big wheels to pick up trucks to f1 cars and did the pinnacle of racing was the indianapolis 500 that perception will never change for me so when i hear of another blow to open wheel racing i get ticked off truth be told i ve softened some on nascar in recent years i find it tolerable i guess i m just not as impressed with chevys fords and toyotas going 100 mph when i see that on my drive five days a week if franchitti makes the jump he will be following in the footsteps of juan pablo montoya another open wheel racing star who was lured by the big money and enormous popularity of stock car racing montoya has spent 2007 in nascar getting tons of media attention winning a race and angering the sport s traditional fans and fellow drivers alike seems juan is just a bit too aggressive for some in addition to franchitti and montoya sam hornish jr is already running in some busch series races and may make the move to nascar full time next year hornish was the indy 500 and irl series champion a year ago if franchitti and hornish both jump at season s end it will cap one of the biggest falls in the long decline of open wheel racing in north america champ car is not only losing it s biggest name sebastian bourdais to f1 but the series continues to cancel races the irl shut down the long running race at michigan international speedway this year and could lose the last two indy 500 winners to nascar yet in spite of cancelled events mediocre attendance and driver departures neither side of open wheel racing s split can set aside their egos long enough to put the health of the sport first it s not difficult to understand why drivers would opt for the financial security and stability nascar has to offer good luck dario i hate to see you go but who knows i may even watch a few more minutes of nascar next year posted by brian at 11 36 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels dario franchitti indy car juan pablo montoya nascar sam hornish first lions prediction oakland raiders 17 detroit lions 14 oh how i hope i m wrong i also hope that this isn t the lions first game in the brian brohm bowl championship series although come to think of it brohm has looked pretty good seriously the difference between the raiders and middle tennessee state isn t all that ok forget that as for the game itself i tend to believe the lions can pass the ball effectively but can t run the rock on the opposite side oakland s d is their strength that match up is a wash the game then comes down to the lions defense versus the raiders o i believe the lions can stuff the run to an extent and the black and silver can run the ball to an extent that sounds like another push to me that only leaves the lions secondary against the raiders passing game i ve got little hope for the detroiters pass defense of course i m not sure any of the raiders passers can live up to that moniker that means the game is close probably comes down to special teams mistakes or intangibles the latter is the reason for my three point spread favoring oakland the raiders starting quarterback will either be ex lions signal caller josh mccown or the free agent qb some in town wanted the lions to sign as insurance for jon kitna dante culepepper wouldn t it be just typical if the honolulu blue and silver fell to last season s worst team with either a free agent qb they let go or a free agent qb they never even considered leading the way tigers closer todd jones is going to hate me but i m taking the raiders and hoping i m very wrong posted by brian at 9 48 am

castroneves in turn 6 castroneves captured the pole at the detroit belle isle grand prix but crashed during the race both of grand prix promoter roger penske s cars are having tough seasons i think it s safe to say that both castroneves and hornish are having disappointing seasons i fully expect hornish to make the nascar jump in 2008 who that leaves to drive penske s 6 indy car becomes the question an aside i wish there was some seating along the back stretch one of the appeals of indy car racing is the speed these cars can obtain when i went to michigan international speedway a couple of years ago the average speed was over 200 mph while the road course does bring the speeds down i d still love to be able to watch the straight away portion posted by brian at 7 03 pm no comments

danica patrick in turn 6 remember i m a blogger not a photographer also keep in mind that while this was a practice session it s not like these cars stopped to give me a good photo op i admit that i ve grown to like danica i m nowhere near her biggest fan however i ve grown to respect her performance she s not the best driver in the circuit but she can certainly hold her own in this series i think she will win more than enough to placate the doubters as for danica mania well it does bring people to the race and does give indy car some extra media attention although i can t help but feel bad for the other drivers guys like sam hornish and dan wheldon have won the season series in indy car and the indianapolis 500 but can t get 1 100 th the amount of media attention it just seems danica gets a disproportionate amount of attention considering where indy car ranks in the american sports fan s priority list basically i wonder how can danica be a big deal if indy car isn t and if indy car is a big deal why can t guys who have won the season series or more importantly the sport s biggest race get some love posted by brian at 6 45 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x

open wheel race fan i came away from the grand prix with a great appreciation for the american le mans series while there were different classes of racing going on all at once a factor i think hurts the series with non race fans i found the varying styles of cars to be a plus you had corvettes and audis on the track at the same time as porsches and acuras i still couldn t tell you which car is in what class but i thought the belle isle course might be even better suited for the alms field than the indy cars a more knowledgeable racing fan can correct me if that s way off base posted by brian

who s your tiger is posed i give curtis granderson serious consideration i ve always been a sean casey fan too how can you not love justin verlander however the answer to that thought provoking query for me is jeremy bonderman as such when i learned that bonderman was overlooked for the american league all star team i was disappointed not shocked as a number of a l starters are having big seasons but still disappointed for the guy when i found out that bonderman could still land in san francisco via mlb s wonderfully contrived the final vote i headed straight to the ballot box now i will follow the tigers lead and encourage you to send jeremy bonderman to s f get out and vote for my tiger posted by brian at 10 57 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels detroit tigers jeremy bonderman mlb all star game thursday march 01 2007 draft day just got more interesting dre bly got his wish he s out of the honolulu blue and silver detroit s pro bowl cornerback will now apply his craft for the denver broncos in return for shipping the disgruntled bly to the rocky mountains the lions received rb tatum bell ol george foster and a fifth round draft pick which in all honesty is about two players greater than what i thought bly would command in the trade market now i have concerns about bell he might be a product of that denver running scheme which might make me a 1 000 yard rusher and if i recall correctly bell has a fumbling issue not exactly what you want from a guy you hand the rock to as for foster i know only two things 1 the standard information about his background that all of you have read today 2 he s got to be better than the offensive linemen the lions employed a season ago then again had the lions acquired a 300 lb block of swiss cheese i might be tempted to say the same thing the fifth rounder that s just a bonus while this trade appears to fill two voids on the lions roster the truly interesting part of this deal is how it may alter the lions draft strategy insert joke about using the terms lions and draft strategy here before the deal it seemed like detroit was destined to take ot joe thomas now having obtained a tackle via denver drafting thomas seems less likely bell s arrival diminishes the chances of the lions contemplating the selection of adrian peterson who does that leave well boys and girls that s the fun part the lions would appear to be more likely to select a quarterback lsu s jemarcus russell or wide receiver calvin johnson yes another wideout this deal just made the improbable become possible only the lions there are rumors about that the lions may ship out the freshly acquired bell and foster to purchase more draft choices that would seem kind of odd as both players fill pressing voids that the lions would need to address in the draft anyway however we are talking about the lions here so everything is in play the scenario that makes the most sense is keeping both ex broncos and drafting the fill other spots that s where drafting a quarterback a year after signing both josh mccown and jon kitna to big deals and only a few weeks after claiming they didn t need a quarterback comes into light i m not sure the lions have the courage to use their top pick in the draft to select a qb only to have him hold the clipboard for a season when you need lots of immediate help it s going to be difficult to select a player for the future with your top draft choice which brings us to mr johnson the georgia tech standout not only had a fine college career but just dazzled scouts at the cattle call that is the nfl combine if he wasn t before johnson is now at the top of many team s draft boards his size speed and overall skills have nearly all the football geeks in an uproar he s simply the best player in the draft only one problem though matt millen hasn t had much success in taking wide receivers high in the draft and oh has he had experience with that this is where millen s shoddy draft record really comes back to bite him and the organization if he had chosen anyone other than charles rogers roy williams or mike williams in any of those drafts we wouldn t have an ounce of controversy surrounding the possibility of landing johnson in the draft but instead three first round wideouts later one unemployed another soon to be the lions might be faced with having to take yet another pass catcher with their top pick you have to love this team they can t even take the best player in the draft because they ve screwed up so many past drafts there is even one more plot i haven t discussed regardless of whomever the raiders select with the top choice the lions opt against thomas we have ot s johnson not going the wr route again russell can t afford to draft a player to sit and peterson we have our rb s thank you they go completely off the top four playmakers and pick someone i m not discussing oh what fun talk radio will be the monday after that i have no idea if today s trade makes the lions a better football team in 2007 but i do know that it has opened some doors i thought were closed drafting either a qb or wr and thus makes their draft
