First of all, a flurry of trades have happened during this past week.  The most recent trade is being the most recent one - Pudge Rodriguez to the New York Yankees.  Me as a Tigers fan, I absolutely hate the deal.

It was about 4:15 on this afternoon (Wednesday), I was at work, serving Happy Meals and cheeseburgers at McDonald's and then my friend called me - "Pudge has been traded to New York."  I thought he was joking.  About two minutes later, he called again and said that all we got in the trade was relief pitcher Kyle Farnswarth.  At first, I thought it was a pretty lousy move.  But then I realized that Farnswarth had a sub-4.00 ERA, knock down the Ty Cobb statue, we got a pitcher who has an ERA under 4.00 in Detroit! Kidding . . . but it is something new for the Tigers this year.

Brett Favre is done . . . for good

Reports have stated that Brett Favre is done attempting to make his journy back to the NFL after his retirment.

There isn't any reason why but maybe it was that the Green Bay Packers refused to release him or maybe Favre just thought one day that he didn't have anymore in him.

He is done - for now.  Still, I wouldn't be surprised to see more Favre rumors going around anyway.

Just wanted to report this news . . .
