Detroit is Seattle's Bizarro Sports World

DET.jpg Not only does Detroit's last place baseball team sweep other last place teams (ours), they also have teams that make the postseason.

On Saturday night the Motor City will host two playoffs games. The Red Wings will play the Penguins at 7pm in the Stanley Cup, and the Pistons will play the Celtics in the NBA's Eastern Conference Finals half an hour later

The city of Seattle has been home to two playoff games in the past two years, and we are not counting the Huskies CBI apparence.
