No Ben W?

I read something on ESPN last night that said the Pistons have acquired Chris Wilcox. I'm not even sure where this guy played last year, but all I can say is that the front line for Detroit is going to have a tough time matching up with other teams this season. They have worked really hard to retain and draft a whole bunch of 2-3 type guys, but forgot that you need to have somewhat of a post presence in order to compete. I still couldn't find anything online about this move today so maybe it's not anything final yet...or simply no one considers it newsworthy to report on.

I guess the one positive thing out of this move is that I don't think we have to worry about Joe D. picking up Ben Wallace. It's hard to believe how little basketball skills and knowledge you can have to make a killing in the League.

On a side note, I was talking with BP and El Jefe yesterday while watching the Tigers vs. Yanks. The Tigers had a lot of chances to win the game and Verlander pitched really well. The sad thing is that I don't think the Tigers believe they can beat the Yanks or the Red Sox consistently. They look like they're scared to play well against these teams. They play like they're a 2nd class team compared to them and they aren't, especially with how well Verlander is pitching. Hoping that E. Jackson can change all of this today.

Go Tigers!

Go old man Tom Watson!


Holler back!
