how much does Arod make and how much does Jeter make?

Arod was brooguht to NY to win!!

Jeter has always been clutch in key situations...Arod has been the opposite (as a Yankee)

Jeter makes near 19 million. More then anybody on Detroit or Cleveland who pwnd them the last 2 seasons.

DETROIT -- With three of its four major franchises advancing deep into the playoffs, Detroit has been named North America's top sports city by the Sporting News.
The magazine named the Motor City No. 1 in its 2007 annual ranking, which was published in editions that hit newsstands Wednesday.

"Although it didn't bring home a title like some cities, Detroit benefits from having a full complement of very good teams and terrific fans to cheer them on," executive editor Bob Hille said in a written statement.

A winning season is the most important criterion in creating the ranking, according to the magazine. Other criteria include sports atmosphere, playoff berths, bowl appearances, tournament bids, championships, quality of competition and overall fan fervor.

Chicago, which received the designation in 2006, ranked fourth this year.

The top 10, in order: Detroit, New York, Dallas-Fort Worth, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, Denver, Phoenix, Philadelphia and Minneapolis-St. Paul.

"I'm shocked," said Inge, the longest-tenured Tiger. "I am, but in a good way. For so long, I've heard of this town being terrible, nobody wants to come here, nobody wants to play here.

Would you want to play for a 119 loss team?

That's the rep, but ask the players who are here. Kenny Rogers said he will only play in Detroit, Sean Casey loved his time in Detroit, Guillen liked it here, Billups likes it here, so I'll take the opinions from players who are here //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

you all did turn it around...thats why Im surprised that some fans want Leyland out

Because you give them success and now they demand it every year. I expected the Tigers to do better, but an 88 win season is still good, especially given all the injuries.
