Manager Jim Leyland

I'm a little frustrated watching this team lately. They just can't put it all together. I am wondering about some of Leyland's moves too. I am enjoying the recent success of Brandon Inge though. A three run homer last night against us and 2 grand slams in a week. Good for him!!

SND's Susan Santoro and Wanda Damian pause from logging winning entries to pretend to be Detroit Tigers -- and to pretend to be in Florida at spring training with the Tigers instead of in snowbound Syracuse, NY.
