MIKE ILLITCH: I NEVER STOPPED LOVING YOU

Unless you were in a coma today you heard. Tigers swept in as the "mystery" team in the Prince Fielder sweepstakes to sign the 27 year-old slugger to an astonishing 9 year $214 Million deal.

It's not your money. MLB has no salary cap. Shut up.

Sounding more and more like Miguel Cabrera is going to go back to play 3rd as well so we can hear Inge talking shit like he matters once again. HE just loves to yap when we sign all-stars like he belongs in the conversation as anyone the team should worry about. Welcome back to Toledo, Mendoza. Put on your scrub tops. Do something for that free money they give you.

Good stat:

Did some checking on Prince's HRs. RF in Comerica is 339 feet. Shortest Prince HR to RF in any park last year was 363.

Cam Newton to Replace Eli in Pro Bowl

Since Eli is going to the Super Bowl he's not playing in the Pro Bowl. Cam Newton will replace him. Thank god.

Doesn't matter that Stafford should have been there before both of them Pro Bowl, All-star games, etc. are the most worthless games there are around. Never watch them, and probably never will. Don't care if my family is in one. I'd tell them not to play because it's a waste of time. I'd rather watch durham house cleaning service clean toilets.

Stafford not being in the Pro Bowl is the best news I could have heard. We got the guy for a full season finally and he threw for 5000 yards and 40 TDs. After 2 years of injury anyone that cares he didn't make it is nuts.
