Madden 05 comes out in less than a month.

Remember tonight guys, batting 2nd and starting at catcher: Ivan Rodriguez. When was the last time the Tigers had a starter in the all-star game?

For that matter when was the last time the Tigers had two all-stars? (Carlos Guillen and Rodriguez)

[DetBNyce]

1988 -- Alan Trammel, 1991 -- Cecil Fielder...

Pudge was awesome. It was great to see that a tiger did so great at the all star game. How come guillen didn't get to play though? I don't really like Madden. I like the espn series actually

[thrillhouse]

Thought I read they signed Lewis as well. And what about Keith Smith?

They could have signed Lewis, but I didn't read it anywhere. And yea, I did overlook Smith.

Didn't rookies report today?

Rogers out to shoulder a big season

The Lions’ first practice had ended, and Charles Rogers had an odd, satisfied, almost smug grin.

“I had a flip on my shoulder,” said Rogers, after Saturday morning’s indoor workout that featured his diving pass reception. “When I had to go for a ball and did a little rollover.”

Coach Steve Mariucci rolled his eyes, not smug at all. Mariucci was obviously relieved.

“I watched him get up, I watched him throw the ball back with his right arm, that was good,” Mariucci said later. “Then I watched all the way until he was back behind to see whether he was going to do one of these, you know.”

Mariucci moved his arm and shoulder — the flexing a man might do to test a just healed shoulder.

All was OK.

Rogers had made one of his trademark catches in this first session. He had made it, and the landing tested his right collarbone. It was the right collarbone that he had broken last year, in his rookie season, after just five professional games.

“When a guy gets hurt, there’s a point when you come back and you test that injury, whether it’s a knee or a bruise, you test it,” Mariucci said.

“So that was probably good for him, to learn that, ‘Hey, I can roll over on my shoulder, and it held up.’ ”

All looks good with Chuck's shoulder so far.

Linebacker Boss Bailey's routine knee surgery wasn't so routine after all.


Bailey will be out of the Lions' lineup indefinitely after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Wednesday in Athens, Ga. The surgery was performed by Dr. Mixon Robinson, who had repaired Bailey's knee in 2000 while he played for Georgia.


"Dr. Robinson found when he went in there, there was a little more damage to his knee than our MRI first indicated," coach Steve Mariucci said. "He repaired the damage and -- in communicating with our doctors here -- they all feel it's in his best interest to rest and take the weight off his knee for a matter of several weeks. Then there will be a rehab period after that."


Mariucci said there wasn't a projected return date for Bailey, who started every game at strong-side linebacker as a rookie in 2003 and is considered one of the team's best young players. The Lions' reluctance to set a return date leads to speculation he could miss most or all of the regular season.

It pretty much sucks for us to lose our young stud LB because: 1. It may stunt his progression and 2. It's our weakest and thinnest position on the field.
