The Detroit Tigers need power to avoid a bad May

By Rogelio Castillo (Follow on Twitter @rogcastbaseball) With the spotlight on the Detroit Lions this weekend because of the NFL Draft, the Detroit Tigers took a back seat among the Detroit fan base. The good feeling of the 13-0 win over the Rockies
Pistons Draft: Keegan Murray is a high-floor, early impact forward
The Detroit Pistons pulled off another bottom three finish. After holding the second-worst record last season, the 2021-22 Pistons finished the season 23-59, third-worst in the NBA. Detroit holds a three-way tie for the best odds to land the number one pick in the NBA Draft Lottery.

Deion Sanders misses the mark on Lions’ criticism
UPDATE on May 1st, 2022 at 8:45 PM: Deion Sanders' son, Deion Sanders Jr., originally posted the comments. Then Sanders shared the description, verbatim, on his Instagram feed. Article was updated for accuracy. There is no love lost between Deion Sanders and the Detroit Lions. Many still discuss his shunning of the team in 1989. During that year's draft, he didn't mince words regarding the Lions. He
Lions draft Kerby Joseph with the 97th overall pick
The Detroit Lions needed a safety heading into the draft. And that's even after signing Deshon Elliott to a one-year deal. And they got him, selecting Illinois' Kerby Joseph with the 97th overall pick. Joseph to the Lions makes sense on several levels. For starters, the coaching staff first met him during this past year's Senior Bowl. And then they had talks again during the NFL Combine.
Lions selecting Joshua Paschal is a shocker
When Day 2 of the 2022 NFL Draft started, Detroit Lions fans began salivating. Why? Malik Willis, Nakobe Dean, Jaquan Briskers, and several others were available. And as the second round began, those players began slipping down the board to Detroit. Judging by social media, Lions fans were ecstatic. Players many predicted as first round selections were on the verge of being available to the Lions. And
Bold and Beautiful: Lions trading up for Jameson Williams was genius
For weeks leading up to the 2022 NFL Draft, I suggested the Detroit Lions do something bold. Do something out of the ordinary. One idea I threw out was taking Liberty's Malik Willis with the No. 2 overall pick. I felt that was the time to reach for their future quarterback. Well, that didn't happen. In fact, no team selected him in the first round. On the
Staying Home: The Lions draft Michigan’s Aidan Hutchinson
The wait is over! And the Detroit Lions have their man. Michigan's Aidan Hutchinson is staying home in Motown. After months of speculation, the Lions selected Hutchinson with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. At one point, it didn't appear Hutchinson would head to the Lions. There were reports that the Lions may look at Liberty's Malik Willis or Oregon's Kayvon Thibodeaux. However,
The Detroit Tigers lose ugly in Minnesota
Detroit Tigers committed three errors in the fifth inning as the Twins pull away and sweep the Tigers. There is so much you can say when you are watching a game. You look for the positives and try to keep perspective. You say to yourself, “it’s only April” over and over. The Detroit Tigers have had injuries to deal with ranging to their starting rotation, (Casey Mize,
Pistons Draft: Jabari Smith offers day one impact on both ends
The Detroit Pistons enter the 2022 offseason tied for the best odds to land the number one pick in the NBA Draft Lottery. With the third-worst record in the NBA, the Pistons' lottery odds give them a 40.1 percent chance at a top-three pick and a 52 percent chance to stay in the top four. If Detroit lands a top-three pick after the lottery, GM Troy Weaver
Detroit Tigers must beat the Minnesota Twins
Is it too early to say this is a must win series for the Detroit Tigers? The above headline is rather tricky. The Detroit Tigers are sitting at 6-9, two games out of first place in April. It is way too early, granted, to complain about the lineup shuffles, early bat struggles (league average is the lowest in history) and anything else that is attributed to a
The Nets need to cut ties with Kyrie Irving
In July of 2019, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving signed to play together for the Brooklyn Nets. And at the time, this move shook the foundation of the NBA. For the Nets, this was arguably one of the best days in franchise history. After all, the last time they had stars in Brooklyn, it all fell apart. And this a second chance to bring winning basketball to
