Gary Sheffield is the only current Tiger implicated in the Mitchell report. Despite much speculation, Pudge Rodriguez was not mentioned. Six former Tigers were also named. They are Nook Logan, Mark Carreon, Hal Morris, Rondell White, Phil Hiatt and Fernando Vina.

Grande covers a lot in his latest blog post. First of all, he addresses the people who want him to follow in the footsteps of Johnny Most and Tommy Heinsohn and be a homer. I've always been pleased that he's honest and doesn't spend too much time rooting on the team. I think that's essential on the radio. Then he discusses enjoying the moment while the Celtics are the best team in the NBA.

He goes on to give a detailed description of James Posey's trip over the scorer's table that knocked him over. He finishes with some interesting stats about this season's start.

Hi everybody. You probably know me from MotownSports.com where I'm tigerfanfromchicago or Celtic-Nation.com where I'm IL Celtics Fan and post the game threads. I found Yardbarker earlier this basketball season when I found that Rajon Rondo has a blog here. While reading his blog I noticed that the newest Tigers starter, Dontrelle Wills, also blogs here. Because two players from two of my teams are here, I thought this would be a good place start my own blog. I've tried political blogs before, but I've never been able to spend that much time on them. I'm hoping that I'll be able to share my thoughts on the Celtics and Tigers, and to some extent the Giants and UConn here.

Yeah, I know the Tigers-Celtics-Giants combination is pretty uncommon, but hopefully you'll be able to deal with it. I hope you will come back to see what I have to say if you're a Tigers or Celtics fan.
