Not a "Good" day to be a Detroit Sports Fan.

We here at TGOWF often get accused of being a little Detroit biased. And that's a fair assessment, but for the most part we like to think we have a pretty open perspective on the national sports scene as well. Say what you will, but none of us actually really live anywhere near Detroit...anymore.

Regardless, it was the type of day in Detroit sports that was supposed to be special. The Pistons had the chance to close out the Bulls with another sweep! The Red Wings had the chance to go up 2-0 on the Quacks. And if didn't it get any better, the Tigers were the 3rd Detroit team gracing national TV on Sunday Night Baseball...also with a chance to sweep their series against the Twins.

Well, you may have guessed it...nothing really went according to plan. Yet, we're totally cool with what happened today. Yeah, it's a little discouraging, but as you'll see in our assessments below, we are handling it all like good sports. We've all matured that way, you know.

Bulls 102 Pistons 87

Real simple...they didn't try. Nope. They coasted. The Pistons simply expected the sweep and figured the Bulls would just roll over and play dead. About midway through the 2nd quarter, they got a little tired. In turn, they opted to just mail it in and call it a weekend. And it had to be a long weekend...partying after the huge win on Thursday night. We all know it's a money driven league and our owner wanted one more game at the Palace.

It was Mr. Davidson's personal request. He was starting to get a little worried that he was only going to get a total of 8 home games this entire playoff season. And besides, do you really think the Pistons aren't winning Game 5 at home? C'mon...this was all for show. Today was just going through the motions. Whatever, did you see Flip Murray's dunk? Our prognosis...not worried.

Twins 16 Tigers 4

Who was this game more important to, the Tigers or the Twins? Yeah, you guessed right if you said the Twins. The Tigers are running away from the Twins in this division for god sake. And Leyland simply wanted to not tax his bullpen and burn out anymore of his arms. He needs everyone to be healthy for a possible preview of the ALCS later this week at Fenway.

Um, the Tigers basically waived the white flag and started a dude they just called up from Triple A, named Virgil Vasquez. Why not give the Twins a little confidence? Who cares, the Tigers know the Twins won't ever catch them this year. The Tigers know their only competition this year will be from the Indians in the Central. So, Vasquez got to throw BP in his first major league start. Prognosis: Big Deal, yeah right.

Quacks 4 Red Wings 3 (OT)

Fuck the Niedermayers. Gordon Bombay had the perfect game plan against the Wings tonight. "Let's cheap shot them with dirty hits to nullify their finesse players, hope for a couple cheap goals and then set up the flying V in OT for the game winner." Yawn, wake me up when I'm scared. The Wings are toying with the Quacks.

Again, we all know the need for money and revenue in a starving league like the NHL. Look, Crazy Bread and Pizza ain't carrying Mike Illitch's empire these days. He needs another game at the Joe. And he needs another month of Red Wings revenue before he focuses on the Tigers. We all saw it...the Wings could've won, but the Quacks cheated. Prognosis: Bull Shit.

The Lions

Well, we heard that Millen and the Intern are back from Cabo San Lucas...so it's time to go to work on the 2008 Playoff campaign. C'mon...you know this is a 12-4 team waiting to happen.

So there, you see...we've got things in pretty good perspective. I don't see any Detroit bias, but go ahead and feel free to bash Detroit in the comments below...haters.
