Holy Cow, seriously! 8-8-7, those are how many three's Kangas has hit in 3 straight games! Not only is Kangas shooting lights out, he is leading his team to victory! Oakland won all those games, including yesterday at the O'rena with a little over 3,000 people in attendance. Not only did the fans witness a blow out victory (86-46) but they saw Erik Kangas make history, he became the all-time leader in 3 pointers made in Oakland history. Erik you have had one hell of a career at Oakland, but your not finished, I want to see you lead our school into another NCAA tournament birth! With the way Kangas is playing, he seems bound and determined to carry his team to the big dance!
As a team Oakland seems to have finally gelled. They are finally playing good solid defense, and Benson and Hudson have really come on as of late. I love the starting line up of, Kangas, Jones, Benson, Maynard, and Hudson. They are the best players on the team by far, and as a unit they are playing great. As a team they will have a huge test against them this week as they go against both Dakota's schools. I will be happy with a victory, but if we were to pull off both, look out, we will be going dancing!!
Well, the Tigers finally found their closer. Detroit recently sign free agent Brandon Lyon to a one year contract, which is worth $4.25 million. I think this is a really good sign for the Tigers. Seriously, who wants Fernando Rodney closing for us?! I sure as hell don't. We will have a guy that is in his prime of his career, that has experience closing. I will admit he is not the best, and he needs to cut down on hits per innings pitched, but he has the potential to be a really good closer for us. It also helps that he plays in a really good pitchers park. The tigers also signed veteran lefty Scott Williamson. I know the Tigers have very low expectations going into this year, but I believe they will have a great year coming up!
