April in the D

The Tigers seem to have started nicely. I would give full credit to this point to improved pitching. Other than Verlander and 1 or 2 bad relief outings the pitching staff has been very good. Secondarily, the defense is greatly improved all along the left side with Inge back at third, Santiago and Everett at short and Anderson (not so much Guillen) in left. The signs are there for much improvement, but it is only April...
The Pistons will be done in a week or so, I think it is time for Dumars to get more heat. From the revolving door of coaches to trades and draft picks that don't seem to provide much help, he needs to start putting up.
The Wings will go as far as their defense holds up. It would be nice if Osgood could be the worst goalie to win 3 Stanley Cups...
