Snowden is a hero.
I hope not. I'm not Tigers fan, but I enjoy watching him pitch. He's an absolute beast on the mound.

Man last year right before he went nutso and his what should've been a perfect game, I stated that he was the best pitcher in the game. So many wanted to argue and tell me that I was crazy. Well a year later I'm back to remind all u haters that well looks like I was right with my statements. 1mvp and 1cy young later and the triple crown for pitchers, he comes out 8in 7ks and gets a ND. May I remind u it's only April and his breaking ball was nasty.

How can u say that! Back to back starts,that started his win streak, were a no hitter(ump pinched his perfect game) and a no hitter thru 25outs! Take him out of the equation and the tigers don't make playoffs. Last I knew that was considered valuable

Who should have gotten the MVP then? Granderson? Ellsbury?
MVP on a team that finished the year by collapsing and missing the postseason? No thanks.
He deserved it. Put it this way. Had he missed 3 months, would the Tigers have made the playoffs? I wager no. Had Ellsbury missed 3 months, would the Red Sox have finished with the exact same record? Maybe. Surely wouldn't have changed their spot in the standings.

Probably doesn't hurt that they won 12 division games in a row as they swept four consecutive series against their division in September.
Sure, the Twins were awful, but the rest of the division wasn't terrible, just overmatched.
Its not like Detroit had the highest payroll in baseball for a decade plus. Thats that other division.

I worked for a Dominos franchise. The franchisee was a Korean guy named Byung. He was awesomely sexist and bigoted. That said, that was the cleanest, best managed, best run pizza shop around. We would have delivery times under 10 minutes when it wasn't too busy. He made us run from our cars back to the store and would assault us if we screwed up.
Swear to God, he threw one of those mesh pizza screens like a frisbee at a driver that mouthed off. It flew through an open door, hit him in the temple, and sent him to the pavement. I also saw Byung spin kick the grille of a Ford Ranger and make both headlights stop working.
Then I worked for a corporate owned Dominos store, and you could get from the makeline to the walk-in without touching the floor if the roaches were tactically positioned.

We had a colorful manager at the one store. Dude was a pasty, fat white guy, about 5'5" maybe, with the Rodman ankh tattoo around his belly button. He liked to tear off his shirt a lot.
One day he refused to serve pizza to walk in customers, and was cooking ground beef in the deep dish pans in our oven. He made "Uncle Alberts sloppy joes" and was trying to ply customers with his creation.
We put live lobsters in the pizza oven too. Came out quite good.
