The World Series by Alexander Dippel

The Detroit Red Wings are starting out strong. The Detroit Lions came close to winning against the Minnesota Vikings, a fellow NFC North team, after their bye week, and the Detroit Pistons are looking to continue their winning record.

 

The Detroit Lions came out very strong against the possible MVP candidate, Baker Mayfield, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While Baker Mayfield had probably his worst game yet and most likely of the season, the Lions still had a very good defensive game, with 2 turnovers against them. One was a fumble, recovered by the Lions, and the other was picked off from Baker Mayfield. They also forced another fumble, but an offensive lineman recovered it to keep it Tampa Bay’s ball. After winning the match, the Lions went comfortably into their bye week. Although bye weeks are normally a boost to the team, sometimes they can be harmful, such as how Detroit lost to the commanders in the playoffs after receiving a bye for being the number one NFC team. Unfortunately, the same thing happened here. Detroit came out strong, scoring with Sam Laporta, arguably the best TE in the NFC North, in the first two minutes. Then the Vikings scored two back to back touchdowns, leading by 7. Eventually, it went into the 4th quarter 24-17, Detroit trailing by 7. After scoring the needed touchdown, the Vikings slowly drained the clock, and scored a game winning field goal.

 

The Pistons are having a decent start, while going 3 and 2 into game 6. The Pistons are going to have to have a very good game tonight. They are facing the Dallas Mavericks. While only 2 and 3, they were a very threatening team last season. And while the first handful of games cannot tell you how well the team is going to do, they may still be very dangerous to play. Hopefully, our Detroit Pistons can come out on top.

 

The Detroit Red Wings are very threatening right now. While having a very strong start, 6 and 1, they fell off, now currently 8 and 4. But don’t be discouraged. This is still a very threatening record. The Detroit Wings had a very scary game against the St. Louis Blues. The Blues had scored a whopping 4 goals, and were leading the game. Fortunately, we scored 5 goals in the second two innings, leading 5 to 4. With the clock running out, the Blues left an empty net, meaning they had no goalie, but an extra player on the ice. After knocking on the wings door, Simon Edvinson gained control over the puck, and sent it flying. Later reports say he just wanted to clear it, but miraculously, it went into the Blues net, finalizing the game, 6 to 4.


 

The World Series, Game 7 has ended, and we now know our new World Series Champions! They are Shohei Ohtani and the LA Dodgers. The Dodgers and the Blue Jays went into game seven, sudden death, winner takes all. After all nine innings were up, the score was settled. 4-4. The game went into extra innings. In Inning ten, nothing happened. Just another inning of stress. But the eleventh, Magic happened. The way extra innings work, is if the team that is batting at the top of the inning scores, the team at the bottom still has 3 outs to at least tie. And that is what happened. Will Smith, not the actor, but the professional baseball player scored the game winning run. And not just a run. It was a solo home run, pushing the Dodgers over the Blue Jays, and eventually winning the game.

Bye Bye, Tigers by Alexander Dippel

This week, Michigan sports struggled. Our Detroit Lions had a rough time against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Detroit Red Wings had a rocky first game, and unfortunately, the Tigers were eliminated from the playoffs this year. 

 

The Detroit Lions have had a… questionable start to their season. They are currently 4 and 2, losing to the Green Bay Packers in Lambeau Field, as well as Kansas City, also away at the Arrowhead, with both of these fields tough to play away, with even tougher teams. The Lions have defeated the Chicago Bears, Cleveland Browns, and the Cincinnati Bengals, and the Baltimore Ravens. In other NFL news, the Philadelphia Eagles lost to the New York Giants, a huge upset, considering that the New York Giants aren’t exactly playoff contenders, according to analysts. 

 

Hockey has started recently, and the Detroit Red Wings have gotten off to a very, very good start, with an early first loss, but bouncing back to a now Five and One record! This could mean they could be a very dangerous adversary in the playoffs, especially for the defending champs, the Florida Panthers, later on, but it is too early in the season to tell. Also, this puts the Detroit Red Wings at the top of the Atlantic Division, which consists of; Detroit Red Wings, the Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leaves, the Bruins, and yes, the Florida Panthers, who are strangely only Three and Four. The only teams that have one five games as of this Article are the Detroit Red Wings, the Colorado Avalanche, and the Hurricanes.

 

Our Tigers had a very strong start to the season, leading the league by almost 20 wins! But all good things must come to an end, and had a massive losing streak, to where they were questionable for playoff contention. After making it, they had to play the Cleveland Guardians. After winning a sudden death game three, they moved on to play the Seattle Mariners, and after an excruciating 15 innings, our beloved Tigers lost on a walk-on homer.
