In a moment Little League ball players dream of while they’re standing out in right field waiting for a hit to come their way. Ninth inning, down by 2 and you step up and land one in the bleachers to give your team a 1 run victory. Ryan Rayburn did just that for the Tigers last night as he took a hanging ball and made a 2 run walk off home run out of it.
That slipped the tigers past the cubs 5-4 in Detroit. Brandon Inge gave the Tigers a 3-2 lead in the 7th but another lead change set up Rayburn’s heroics. The Tigers and Cubs continue the series tonight at Comerica Park where Detroit is 21-11 this year.
The L.A. Dodgers are making out fine without Manny Ramirez and beat the White Sox 5-2 last night in Chicago.

The Stanley Cup finals are over, but The Red Wings’ Cup legacy was recognized big-time Tuesday. Steve Yzerman, Brett Hull and Luc Robitaille – all teammates on the 2002 Stanley Cup champion Red Wings – all voted into the NHL Hall of Fame at the same time. Yzerman is sixth on the all-time scoring list and the longest-serving captain ever at 19 seasons – uh, hence the nickname. Hull is third on the list with 741 scores and Robitaille’s 668 are the most by a left winger.

Yahoo! Sports is reporting the Celtics floated the idea of sending Ray Allen and Ray-zhahn Rondo to the Pistons for – get this – Rip Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince and Rodney Stucky. Even Matt Millen would call that a bad deal! Fortunately, Joe Dumars agrees – ain’t gonna happen!
