I'll say one thing about Leyland...

[hellifino]

all kidding aside, the guy does run a nice bench and clubhouse, the players all get along and there is no animosity to be found. chemistry has to be the most under-rated thing in sports,and this team has it.
























but that's fucking it. lol

getting bored waiting for the WS.

IMO opinion Leyland gets way too much crap from fans. If you watched any other manager every single night you'd be just as pissed at 95% of them.

Well that's the thing, when you root for a team you complained about players and managers. So I don't think he gets too much crap. Status quo.

Tigers manager Jim Leyland wowed by fans' lovefest.
from the detnews

"I did get one interesting comment last night," Leyland said, sharing the first of many stories — and chuckles — in a half-hour media session while his players took batting practice Sunday. "I was out and I actually had a guy come up to me and say, 'Great job. And I want to apologize for being mean to you all year long.''

Hellifino, We know it was you. lol

Yeah, I do think that Leyland gets the most out of his players. I think that they all respect him and work hard under him.
