Former Boston Globe columnist Bob Ryan once opined that he felt bad for non-sports fans.
This past weekend in Detroit is just another reason why I totally agree.
The Red Wings win an overtime elimination game at home before holding on for dear life against the Ducks in Game 7 in Anaheim.

Game 2013.13: Tigers at Mariners
Moment of silence for Boston, please. Really cool what the Yankees did earlier tonight.
*******
7-5, 1st place, tied with KC.
The Tigers cruise up to Seattle on a sweet 3 series winning streak perched atop the AL Central. No reason why it shouldn’t be 4, but with Felix Hernandez pitching tomorrow, winning tonight becomes critical with an eye towards taking the series.
With Jeremy...

The value of interacting with readers is that even if they don’t ask for anything terribly in depth, your answers to their questions cause you to do a bit of research. Case in point: A recent Facebook conversation about Jose Fernandez of the Marlins:
Original Comment: Jose Fernandez might be worth an add. What do you think?
My Response: Not Yet.

The Unthinkably Exceptional Scott Kazmir
Wouldn’t you know it, but Scott Kazmir is relevant again. Jeremy Bonderman is relevant again, too, and that’s also amazing, but Kazmir’s actually got himself a big-league rotation job and that gives me an opportunity to talk about an incredible Kazmir fun fact. I could’ve talked about it anyway, even if Kazmir were completely off the radar, but now it’ll be less insignificant...
Royals 11, Mariners 6
The Kansas City Royals set a team record for spring training wins with their 23rd victory, beating the Seattle Mariners 9-6 Tuesday behind Brett Hayes' four hits.

Bonderman does not seem like a candidate for a rotation spot but...
The 2003 Detroit Tigers
With the dawn of Spring Training, this marks the 10-year anniversary of the infamous 2003 Detroit Tigers. The club set an American League record with 119-losses thanks to historically awful pitching.
Luminaries Nate Cornejo, Mike Maroth, Jeremy Bonderman, Adam Bernero, and Gary Knotts anchored the starting rotation. The quintet combined for a 25-77 record (128 starts)/ 744.67...

Bring on the Minor-League Deals
(Bobby Crosby is invited. Who else needs something to do in February and March?)

Liriano the Buc, and Three Starters on the Comeback Trail
Francisco Liriano has reportedly agreed to a two-year contract worth $12.75 million with the Pirates according to Jon Heyman.

Why we root for guys like Jeremy Bonderman
The Seattle Mariners took a flier yesterday and signed Jeremy Bonderman to a minor league contract. While of itself, this is nothing to get too worked up about. Broken down pitchers are signed to such deals every year. Sometimes, like in 2011 with Garcia and Colon for the Yankees, it works out. Most of the time it does not. And to be sure, Tigers fans will probably not root overly...

Tigers weekly: Perez latest reminder of chaotic 2012
Hernan Perez might end up as one of the many players who finish their Tigers career with exactly one hit. For the forseeable future, he'll be there on the list with pitchers like Jeremy Bonderman, failed prospects like Kevin Hooper and late-career gambles like Vince Coleman.
At the moment, though, Perez might best represent the chaos of the 2012 season.

OLD MAN SPORTS – THE LURE OF EXPECTATIONS
The 2012 edition of the Detroit Tigers are off to a sluggish start according to many of the experts. Their 17-17 record logs them into second place in the American League Central Division.
