Dontrelle to save the day?

Detroit Finally Gets It Together — For a Day, Anyways

[IMAGE: Don’t get me started with the “images” fiasco. Just use your imagination for today. It’ll be healthy for you.]
You know, the colossal kick-in-the-pants that Jim Leyland gave the Tigers before tonight’s game against the Twins couldn’t have come at a better time. They had been outscored in their previous two games (against the Chicago […]
