 Leyland is one (terrible) (guy)
WOW! Jim Leyland fights back!

Jim Leyland is fired up

Jason Grilli stunk in Detroit. His recent comments about the Tigers organization should have been kept to himself - unless he wanted to fire up manager Jim Leyland. Leyland didn't blow a gasket, but was certainly angry about Grilli's comments. Is Leyland just fed-up with the Tigers' poor start or is he veiling a ploy to motivate the underachievers?
