uuuuuummmmmm

Walter Sharpe.......Trent Plaisted.......Deron Washington.....sounds exciting doesn't it?

I don't mind Joe Dumars trading out of the first round and getting 2 picks in the second round considering the players won't be gauranteed any contracts. What I do mind is....why would you use the picks on no name, average talent type players?

When Detroit drafted Walter Sharpe in the second round, players such as Chris Douglass Roberts, Mario Chalmers and DeAndre Jordan were still on the board. Instead Joe drafted a player with a rap sheet to match Dennis Rodman. He was kicked off the Mississippi State team for being continuously late to meetings and missing team flights out of town. He transferred to UAB where he played for half a year until he was suspended for being ineligible. He has also been arrested on more than one occasion and has been shot. GREAT CHOICE JOE!!!!

They followed this up by drafting Trent Plaisted, when players such as Bill Walker, Devon Hardin and Darnell Jackson were still available. Is it just me or were the Pistons just pulling names out of a hat because they know they don't want them anyway.

I'll wait and see how this pans out but for now I hate this draft. If it were my choice CDR, or Mario Chalmers would be a Piston right now.

Tigers Trade

According to Mlive.com

The Tigers announced today that they've acquired minor league pitcher Kyle Pearson from the Pittsburgh Pirates for pitcher Danny Bautista, who was designated for assignment on June 20.

Pearson, a righty and fourth-round selection in 2003, saw time with Single-A Lynchburg and Double-A Altoona this season. He earned four saves in 11 appearances with Lynchburg.

A Tigers spokesperson wasn't sure where Pearson would be assigned.

Makes Sense to Me

NBC and Notre Dame football have extended their exclusive TV contract through 2015, despite the 3-9 Fighting Irish drawing their lowest ratings last season since the network started airing their games in 1991.

Dude, Keep your Shirt on

According to the Washington Post...

The Washington Nationals have ruled that dudes who take off their shirts at their baseball games will be charged with "indecent exposure" and will be asked to put their tops back on.

Usually the guys who are disrobing in the stands are typically the last ones who should be.

Did you see the Padres trot this guy out to the mound on Sunday against the Tigers?

They have him listed at 6'3" 240lbs, he looks closer to 280-290! How is a professional baseball player so out of shape???

Melo not going to Detroit?

It's been no secret that the Denver Nuggets were recently contacted by the Detroit Pistons and the two clubs had several conversations about a deal involving sending Melo to Detroit for Billups and Tayshaun. The Nuggets are declining that offer and have instead proposed a deal involving Allen Iverson or a package built around Marcus Camby. But the Pistons are only interested in Anthony.

Anthony's agent has confirmed with Nuggets' brass that they are not interested in trading Carmelo.
