The Tigers heading into St. Louis tonight for the first time since losing the 2006 World Series. In Detroit’s favor: The Cardinals have lost seven of their last ten, and 7-2 Justin Verlander is starting for the Tigers, and he’s pitching lights-out ball. Working against Detroit would be Albert Pujols, who is the all-time leader in interleague batting average at .352, and since ’06 he’s batting .630 against the Tigers! Detroit and St. Louis, live from Busch Stadium tonight at 7:55 on 590 KZO!
The Crosstown Classic gets underway at Wrigley tonight, both the Cubs and White Sox a far cry from the teams they were when they met up last year. The Cubs won their second straight NL Central title in 2008, but so far they’re 30 and 30 this season, and the 30 and 34 White Sox were AL Central champs last year. Carlos Zambrano starts for the Cubs against the White Sox tonight at 7:30 on 1660 The Fan.
Bronco hockey expanding its presence in the American Hockey League Monday with the signing of Patrick Galivan by the Chicago Wolves.

Remember the big off-season football story we followed last year? Will Bret Favre play again? After being released by the New York Jets and having some surgery, the question is will Favre show up this year wearing Viking horns? Minnesota would have liked answer awhile back and still don’t have a commitment other than he’s considering it. It will also be some time before it’s known if the surgery was successful.
Only a couple games in Major League Baseball last night. The L.A. Dodgers beat San Francisco 9-7 and a big run producing game came out in favor of the Brewers as Milwuakee outlasted Cleveland 14-12.
Portage Central grad, pro soccer player and excellent role model Lindsay Tarpley was the keynote speaker at the Big Borthers/Big Sisters banquet last night. She also held a soccer workshop for young players in an effort to give them the early start she wishes she’d had.
Tarpley now plays pro soccer for the Chicago Red Stars.
Detroit Shock head coach Bill Laimbeer resigned Monday afternoon after a very successful 6 ½ run with the organization during which he won three WNBA titles. Laimbeer is of course known as the center who led the Pistons to back-to-back NBA titles in 89 and 90 and is the all-time franchise leader in rebounds. And acting surprised when he was called for a foul. Laimbeer has said that to coach in the NBA is his goal – Bill! Please save the New York Knicks!
