Summary
Mike and Rico start the first show of the week wondering what your ultimate sports venue is. They stick with this topic until the second hour when they shift gears to Javier Báez's impending return from the IL to the active roster for the Tigers. This turns into a discussion on the ineptitude of Scott Harris for a multitude of reasons including the organization's reluctance to DFA Báez. The guys spend the second half of the show on the Big 3's announcement that they have selected Detroit as a new franchise and some criticism on Steve Yzerman from the Toronto Sun.
