The Tigers kick off a west coast swing! For 1660 The Fan dot com sports, I’m Sean Patrick! The Oakland A’s have been struggling but the Tigers have some hard times playing out west. Larry Long is California Dreamin’!
This trip to the West Coast did not start off well for the Tigers losing to Oakland 7-1. Detroit didn’t score their lone run until the 6th inning on a Laird RBI. Tonight’s game from Oakland comes your way tonight at 9:45 on 590 KZO.
The Cubs fared better in Pittsburgh topping the Pirates 3-1 behind great pitching from Rich Harden and Ryan Theriot’s help at the plate. Cubs and Pirates again tonight at 7:05.
The White Sox took the first of a three game series from the Indians in Cleveland 6-3.
In a move that’s not going to make a lot of fans happy, the Detroit Red Wings have decided not to renew backup goalie Ty Conklin’s contract. It’s not he didn’t play well – they just don’t wanna pay him a LOT more money next season – salary cap an’ all. Your new hero or goat is Jimmy Howard, fresh off four seasons with the Grand Rapids Griffins.
The Western Michigan men’s basketball team released its non-conference schedule Monday. Some highlights for next season include a home bout with Temple December 1st and a road matchup with Illinois of the Big Ten December 13th.

Isiah Thomas "Retires" to Florida
An interesting twist in Isaiah Thomas’s new gig: We told you yesterday how the former Hoosier and Piston, coming off a rough stint as the president and coach of the Knicks, had taken a job as coach of low-profile Florida International. The Associated Press is reporting that when Thomas learned off layoffs and budget cuts at the university, the newly-minted head coach has offered to donate his first-year salary to the school, effectively working for free. Don’t worry too much for Zeke though – the Knicks still owe him about $12 million on the final two years of his contract.

Tigers Blank White Sox
A day after getting rained out at Comerica, the Tigers took on the White Sox to close out their now-two-game series.

The Drama Continues For Tatum Bell
by Dan Cash
Tatum Bell is no longer a Lion and Rudi Johnson’s debut was less than eventful Sunday against the Falcons.
That however doesn’t mean the two are out of the news…the Detroit Free Press is reporting that the women Bell dropped Johnson’s bags off with after allegedly taking them from the Lions Allen Park facility last week refuses to say where the contents of Johnson’s bag reside.
Her story also directly contradicts former Lions defensive lineman Victor Degrate…whom Bell said was the player that asked him to pick up his bags from the Lions facility. Bell picked up Johnson’s instead and the soap opera continues.
