While I'm ecstatic that Willis won't be losing any games for the Tigers in the near future...

...WTF exactly is an "anxiety disorder"?

I'm so sick and tired of the way players are babied and coddled these days. I'm only 43, but the fathers and grandfathers some of us laugh about are right on the money on this subject. A lot of what has changed in baseball in recent years has been change for the sake of change, not positive progress. A pitcher should expect to finish a game he starts, a hitter shouldn't whine like someone called his mother a whore when a pitcher comes inside, and the DL is made for broken bones and torn muscles, not "anxiety disorders".

Am I the only one who thinks Fernando Rodney is a waste of DNA?

Every time Leyland brings him in, I start to sweat. He's like the second coming of Todd Jones, only not as reliable. Yeah, I know he can throw 100 MPH, but what good is a blazing fastball if he has no control? If he comes into a game and it's not a save opportunity, he looks lost. Tonight was simply pathetic beyond words.

The Tigers need to trade this clown for a couple of bats and a new fertilizer spreader for Heather Nabozny.
