A group of immigration advocates set off Monday on a 90-mile trek from Detroit to Lansing. The group believes the recent adoption of the hardline approach to federal immigration policy is creating unnecessary harm by tearing families apart.

And, looky here, our Motown kitties are only two games back in the division after Monday's 6-3 win against the visiting Cleveland Indians. (Niko Goodrum played hero with a pair of home runs.) Huh. For a team that was predicted to be among the worst in the league this year, and despite a rash of recent injuries, the Tigers have been among the more pleasantly mediocre. There's nothing like the lowered expectations of a rebuilding lineup to render an 18-22 record palatable. MORE

There are so many quality roller coasters at Cedar Point, it is a daunting task to pick the 10 best, let alone put them in an acceptable order for the masses. MLive roller coaster beat writer Ed Pevos is up to the challenge, however. Not to give away too much here, but the new Steel Vengeance is near the top of this list.
