September 24, 200817 yr Got this off of my cbssportsline fantasy site: Todd Jones, RP DET News: Tigers reliever Todd Jones is retiring, he announced in his own column in the Sporting News. "So this is it," he wrote in the latest issue of the magazine. "If you're a Tigers fan, I'll never stress you out again. If you're not a Tigers fan, you'll never have me as your ace in the hole, convinced I'll blow a lead against your team." The 40-year-old Jones went on the DL in late July with an injured right shoulder. He was activated for one game in mid-August, gave up five unearned runs, and went back on the DL. Jones has 319 career saves with Detroit, Houston, Minnesota, Colorado, Boston, Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Florida. His 235 saves for Detroit are a team record. Several years ago, Jones began writing a column about his days in baseball. He plans to keep writing for the Sporting News. "I have tried to give fans a look at what it's like from a guy who's passing through the game," he said. It's funny because it's true

September 24, 200817 yr Millen and Jones both gone? I'm kinda sad over this. This is the best day in a long time to be a Detroit sports fan.

September 24, 200817 yr I hated him since he ripped on Jenks for celebrating after he K'd Bagwell in Game 1 of the WS.
September 25, 200817 yr On my 21st birthday at the cell I was acting like a jackass waving to him in the bullpen bar and he gave me a little fake gunshot from the hip. It was hilarious.
