Tigers Turn the Page, Prepare for 2007
It's that time of year again! Spring Training is underway, the Tigers are preparing for another season of baseball, except this year, things are different. After traveling all the way to the World Series last season, higher expectations await these Tigers, who look to have a promising season ahead of them. Just a few short months ago, it was the Cardinals shutting down Detroit's Tigers to become World Champions. Now, the Tigers have turned the page, and are looking forward to this season, forgetting about last season.Jim Leyland's team is largely the same unit fans from across the country came to know and love during the 2006 American League Championship campaign. Jamie Walker jumped ship to the Orioles, and Jose Mesa is now a member of the bullpen, but otherwise, the Tigers pitching staff is in tact. Gary Sheffield was added in a trade from the Yankees early on in the offseason, and while acquiring an older player is always a gamble, the Iron Chef appears to be in good health, and poised to give the Tigers a legitimate designated hitter. The logjam in the outfield has also been somewhat negated as the Tigers attempt to change Marcus Thames into a first baseman. Craig Monroe, Curtis Granderson, and Magglio Ordonez will all be back to roam the outfield at Comerica Park, and the infield remains the same. Add in another year of experience to the young players, and this Tigers team has perhaps an even better shot at greatness than the one that preceded it.
I'm sure everyone else is also looking forward to April 2nd, when the Tigers open their 2007 season at home against the Toronto Blue Jays. Single game tickets went on sale Saturday, and the team sold over twice as many tickets on Saturday than they did on the first day of ticket sales last season. As we begin to move closer and closer to summer, the anticipation continues to build, for Detroit will soon be free of snow and a become a baseball town once again.

Here are two rally organizers (Mike Staunch and Shemon Salam) trying to defend themselves, but they ended up being really offensive:
