YES! BEST DAY EVER CONTINUES! Todd Jones to announce retirement!
My least favorite Tiger ever is gone. Millen is gone. If Leyland gets fired, this is THE HAT TRICK!

What if the Red Wings all decide to play for a European team instead of in the NHL? And Rasheed Wallace is arrested.

I assumed the Steve Yzerman/Brendan Shanahan come back would complete the hat trick for hockeytown

What exactly did Leyland ever do other than help the Tigers get out of their miserable recent past? I'll trade you Dusty Baker for him. |

Take away the first half of 2006 year, his record is well under. 500. He has refused to fire Chuck Hernandez, who since he has been here, has not seen one pitcher improve. Leyland has this team in last place in the AL Central right now. If he fired Hernandez and McClendon, I'd be fine with him staying, but he won't do it, and so that puts him on the chop block. |

And 1/2 his team is hurt. He didn't trade away the young pitching. So, Baker for Leyland? |

Agreed. Expectations are a bitch. But you can't disagree his staunch refusal to fix this coaching staff has lead to the teams downfall. |

I agree with you. He hasn't a good job at all for a while and seems loyal to a fault to too many people. I, too, am glad to see Todd Jones go. I couldn't stand him. He was likely the best closer the Tigers had on their roster, but he's incredibly annoying and whiny. Good riddance, Todd Jones.

I just hated how smug he was. His whole "It's all my fault I suck and we lost" was cute at first, but God I heard that way too much. |

Wow, if Patrick Roy dies today, it will become a holiday in Detroit.
