Leyland signs two-year extension with Tigers
ESPN.COM

DETROIT -- Jim Leyland will be sticking around in the Detroit dugout for awhile.

The Tigers gave their manager a two-year contract extension Friday through the 2011 season. Financial terms were not announced.

"It's extremely well deserved," Tigers president and general manager Dave Dombrowski said.

The 64-year-old Leyland is in his fourth season with the Tigers, and this was the last year on his deal. Detroit was leading the AL Central with a 35-31 record going into Friday night's game against Milwaukee.

2. I wish the Pirates management had not sabotaged Leyland's teams
in the 90's. He is an excellent manager.

The Rockies couldn't wait to get him the hell out.
