Happy Monday, everybody. The Detroit Tigers threatened to sweep the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday in a game where Michael Fulmer was perfect right up until he wasn’t. You may not have seen that, and that would be understandable. With the first full weekend of football for the year underway you may have found yourself more enamored with the Cleveland Browns’ first steps toward an undefeated season. I wouldn’t blame you.
On Monday, you have a more difficult choice. Do you watch the Lions open their season against the Jets, or do you watch one of the most memorable pitchers to ever don the Olde English D return to Detroit to make his first start in Comerica park in a Houston Astros uniform?
