Big Ben is Back in the D

Ben Wallace has signed a one year contract to come back to the D. I really don't know how I feel about this. I guess it's good, we know what we are getting, we want someone to be tough, rebound, and help the young guys out. Maybe him and RIP will both take a leadership mentor role to Ben and Charlie and play less minutes as they help them both on and off the court. I still think RIP needs to be traded, unless he is ok with not playing as much, or maybe being the backup 3, or at times maybe playing ta as your point forward, and then have ben and rip with charlie and then, now here is the question, who is the 5. Ben? Brown? Wilcox? does Jason M and Oberto can time there as well. This will be very interesting to see what happens with this team. Welcome back Ben, I hope this works out.

The Tigers after taking 3 of 4 from the birds now have a big weekend series with the Twins before going to Boston. This is a big series because the Twins are now 4 and a half back, if they can sweep, or even win 2 out of 3, it gives them one less team to worry about. They can just focus on the White Sox, who are now 2 games back, and the Twins will drift away. Of course, if the Twins come in to Comerica and take a couple, they are right back in it, and it will be a long, tight, 3 team battle all the way though. Yesterday featured the ML debut for Alax Avila, who gave us some offense in the back up catcher role, something Dane Sardina and Dustin Ryan didn't do, he went 2-4 with a rbi double and a run scored, not bad at all from double A. But someone reminded me, no one has film on him yet, give is a few weeks, once tape is out on him and then people know how to pitch him. So we will see. either way, it was a nice first game, and I am hoping for the best. I'm right, you're wrong
