The Knee Jerks

We have a guest on tonight's episode of The Knee Jerks, Tom Hannon of TheBaseballPage.com, BackyardBall.net and LittleEbbetsField.com. Tom has just written a book, "Backyard Ball", about a game we're all familiar with, Wiffle Ball! After the chat with Tom, Eno and Big Al will talk about the week in Detroit sports. Today's topics include:

Pistons - Rasheed Wallace is a Celtic, Joe Dumars shoots his wad in free agency, Carlos Boozer for Rip Hamilton trade talk, and who in the HELL is going to coach? And who is going to play in the paint, Boozer trade be damned?

Tigers - Still in 1st place after another horrific weekend in the Twins' Baggiedome, losing 2 of 3. In better news, they have 3 All-Stars in Granderson, Veralnder and Jackson, with Inge in the running for the last man in vote. Finally, the a big homestand against Central division bottom feeders, KC and Cleveland, looms, and could allow the Tigers to have a solid divisional lead at the break. Can they take advantage with such an anemic offense?

We also give our thoughts on Steve McNair, and name our respective Jerk of the Week!

We're back! After missing a month due to back surgery, Big Al makes his heroic return to podcasting tonight, while Eno tries to keep Al lucid and in line thanks to the large amounts of pain meds he is currently ingesting.

No guests tonight, so it'll be your hosts talking a little about the Pistons' draft, give a few final thoughts on the Red Wings season, and expect lots of Tigers baseball talk.

So be there at 11 pm to hear Eno carry the show, while the just off the DL Big Al tries to keep up...and stay up!

It's a very special expanded post Memorial Day edition of the Knee Jerks, as due to technical difficulties, our Monday broadcast was ended early.

If we can convince him to return, we'll have our first guest! Joining us is the Bleacher Report's premier Detroit Red Wings writer Keith Shelton, as we give our knee jerk opinions on the Red Wings - Blackhawks NHL Western Conference finals.

We'll also add our slant to the past week of Detroit Tigers news and touch on the Lions and Pistons as new stories break out of Allen Park or Auburn Hills.

We'll also play our most popular old bit, word association, and we'll name our respective Jerk of the Week!

Finish off your day with fireworks from the Knee Jerks!

The Knee Jerks are freelance writer Greg Eno, aka Mr. Journalist, whose collected works can be found at his one stop shop, Out of Bounds (TheGregger63.wordpress.com). He takes time out of his extremely busy schedule to chat with Al Beaton of The Wayne Fontes Experience (WayneFontes.com), aka Mr, Blogger, a shiftless, layabout, opinionated blogger. Every week The Knee Jerks give their knee jerk opinion regarding all things Detroit sports, from the heights of the Red Wings, to the depths of the Lions, with the Tigers and Pistons in between.
