Here's one for the Stafford lovers to rub in the faces of the Stafford haters. Potential #1 Overall pick in this year's NFL Draft for the Detroit Lions, Matthew Stafford appeared on the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (You should really take the best appetite suppressant before watching this awful show) last week and took part in a bit of an exhibition.
Stafford was required to throw a football at flying plates. See for yourself how well he did :).

Detroit Tigers Rick Porcello Get 1st Career MLB Win
Our next big time prospect earned his keep today against the Seattle Mariners as he won his first Major League game. Porcello pitched a very efficient 7 innings, only throwing 86 pitches, 56 of which were strikes, before he was taken out of the game enjoying a 5-1 lead. Porcello allowed just 1 earned run on 5 hits ann no walks. He struck out 3 as the Tigers won 8-2 and took the series 2-1 on the first of the west coast road trip.
The other pitching prospect up in the bigs for the Tigers Ryan Perry also saw action in relief. He had a bit of a shaky outing, however. Although he was not int he game when his run scored he made a crucial defensive error that allowed the inning to continue and was pulled right after. He had given up 1 hit, but had 2 outs. He got Ichiro to gorund out to 1st, but took his sweet time getting over to cover the bag and Ichiro beat him there prolonging the inning.
Another big game from Ramon Santiago. Santiago got the first RBI of the game on single in the 2nd. He added another RBI on a FC in the 4th. He was able to break the game open in the 8th with a 3 run double off the wall. HE finished 5 RBIs and has been on a tear since replacing the injured starting SS Adam Everett. He should have been starting since the season opened while Everett was enjoying stint with some other scrub team.

Pistons Start Playoffs Today
OK...this is going to be a post from a fan and not from a guy who actually subscribes to reality.
Boston lost to the Bulls today so it looks like that will be a series missing KG. So what is going to happen?
Simple. Pistons will beat the Cavs, and the Bulls will beat the Celtics. Pistons will then play Orlando who they own. So we will make the ECF for the 7th year in a row.
While it may appear that I need to look for a healthcare career rather than discuss sports if the Pistons can pull of the unthinkable and beat the Cavs and the Refs they are a shoe in for the ECF because the MAgic can't play with us. Dwight Howard is not a true Superstar. Don't buy into it. He doesn't have the heart, or the killer instinct of any of these other guys like Lebron, Wade, Kobe, etc. HE is a joke. See you in the Finals...:)

Mayock says Lions Should Take Monroe
Mike Mayock, the draft analyst for the NFL Network thinks the Lions should take Eugene Monroe, OT from Virginia. Monroe has been overshadowed in the post season hype by a few guys. Jason Smith came up and stole the show at the combine, although I have always believed he in no way fit what the Lions are trying to do, nor is he really even deserving of the talk around him. He may not even be on of the best 3 OTs in this draft.
HE says he prefers him over Smith as well because he has the "best feet of any tackle in the draft".
While most Lions fans are eating edible plants to forget about last year, most agree on one thing: They are scared to take Stafford. Monroe has always been my pick as the OT to take this high after Andre Smith blew it at the combine. To me it only comes down to Monroe and Stafford. Curry lovers can forget about him. IT woudl make zero sense to take the guy #1 overall.
