Bunt Singles: April 1

posted in 2008 season, bunt singles |

We got 10 inches of snow in Marquette and 26 inches of snow in Negaunee on April 1. I only wish that were an April Fools joke. Otherwise, while no fan of the off-day-after-opening-day, I did see a pair of baseball games tonight, including the A’s, so it wasn’t too bad. So here’s a few links I read tonight.

  • The Tigers’ payroll is the second highest in baseball at nearly $139M when you include bonuses and all the other junk. It lags way behind the Yankees but is ever-so-slightly above the Mets. Never thought I’d be writing this paragraph in my lifetime. (Hat-tip Danny Knobler)
  •  Jim Leyland will drop the puck at the Wings’ game Thursday. (Behind the Jersey)
  • The Tigers and Tim Byrdak are looking for an agreement that would put him back in Toledo. I imagine he’d end up back in Detroit eventually. (Freep)
  • D-Town Baseball has the probable pitching matchups for the next week.
  • Ian interviewed awesome Kansas City Star columnist (and blogger) Joe Posnanski. Great interview, and if you’re not reading Pos’ blog, you should be. (Bless You Boys)
  • Matt at Take 75 North tries to piece together the farm system rosters for the Tigers. (Take 75 North)

    Wow. I had no idea we were in a position to overtake the Red Sox in the payroll department. I had been rooting against Boston the last few years on the basis that they were the next-worse thing to the Yankees in terms of trying to buy a championship.

    Obviously, I won’t be rooting against the Tigers–so we’re back to one team in the “evil capitalist pig” category. :)

    I hear you Kyle. My refrain was “Boston’s as evil as New York, but not as good at it.” Whoops. So much for being the nation’s underdog, I guess that title falls to Cleveland or some NL team.

    On the other hand, I don’t mind now that it’s my team!

    Well said. Just like we hated Chelios and Sheed when they played elsewhere, now we’re proud that they’re ours.
