Lookin' like a links day

Apparently, I spent all of my rage and vitriol for The Mother Ship today, so let's do links:

• The Chicago Tribune's Phil Rogers laments native Chicagoan Curtis Granderson playing well in another city (and worse, for a division rival).
• Luke Walton's Forehead has some words for "bandwagon-ass cat" Pistons fans.
• Did our old friend Robert Fick (otherwise known as "Detroit's future AWESOME left-handed thunder after he hit the final home run in Tiger Stadium) really bat clean-up on Sunday for the Washington Nationals? (Insert exclamation with pun on Fick's name here.)
• Speaking of old Tigers buddies, has anyone asked Damion Easley to pee in a cup after the weekend he had for the Diamondbacks?
• The Detroit Tigers Weblog (as well as the Fungo) have details on the Tigers' 1st-round draft pick.
• Complete Sports has its eye on the 2011 All-NBA Team. I have two words for him: Where's Darko?
• The M Zone has the lowdown on the NCAA not letting a Hawkeye brotha get paid. (Holes-in-one and Hail Mary passes - what can't Drew Tate do?)
• The Daily Fungo is shopping on behalf of the Tigers for left-handed bats. His search takes him to... Boston?
• Greg Eno likes the look of this year's NBA Finals.
• It wouldn't be baseball season without one of Slammin' Samela's excellent Photoshop jobs. Poor Josh Beckett.

And I wanted to make this pretty with a picture of sausage links, but Blogger's being all hinky, so I guess we'll end it there. Get out there and grill magnificently tonight, folks.
