Leyland Sitting On The Fence

from MLB.com,
Leyland’s boss, Tigers owner Mike Ilitch, also owns the Red Wings. They’re in the finals for the first time since 2002. Leyland has frequently expressed his gratitude and appreciation for Ilitch and the way he allowed the Tigers to make the moves they felt they needed.
On the other hand, Leyland is a Pittsburgh resident who attended some Penguins games over the offseason with former Tigers first baseman Sean Casey, who is a Penguins season ticket holder. They’re in the finals for the first time since 1992.
It’s an exciting matchup for fans around the league, but not the best matchup for Leyland. So when a reporter asked him about it, Leyland tried to be diplomatic.
“That’s obviously a no-win situation for me,” Leyland said. “I have no comment. May the best team win.”
