I was thinking of mothballing this site. I didn’t do much during football season. And didn’t feel the urgency to follow college hockey that closely. But then the Tigers signed Magglio Ordonez. And traded for Kyle Farnsworth. And then they cancelled the hockey season. And I felt the need to come back.

So, what do you think. Do you need a place to talk/write about sports? Would you read if keep posting here? Should I suspend this and fold sports into the new blog?

In any case, here’s more stories. In short, I’m looking forward to baseball season, still optimistic about the Tigers (and I’ll be tracking similarities with the Reds see as they’re the new hometown team and all.
