To clarify something that many here may not know about me.
I am an American League fan. First and foremost, I am a Detroit Tigers fan.
I have watched Jeff Weaver for the past four years. To sum up how I feel about him:
1) Jeff Weaver is a pothead.
2) Jeff Weaver is a mental case.
3) Jeff Weaver is a prima donna.
4) Jeff Weaver was a cancer in the Detroit Tigers' clubhouse.
5) I laughed my a$$ off when I found out that the Yankees wanted Jeff Weaver.
6) Detroit got three OUTSTANDING prospects for Jeff Weaver in a three-way trade with Oakland and the Yankees.
So I'm very happy for you if you like Jeff Weaver. Most Yankee fans who know what they're talking about want Steinbrenner to DUMP WEAVER FIRST as soon as this season is over. He was supposed to be the heir to Roger Clemens.
Another Detroit reject, Mark Redman, will take the mound for the Marlins on Saturday night. That should be fun, too. Redman's a good guy, but he just ain't all that good at pitching.
