Perhaps fed up with a terrible start. Perhaps dreading another tongue lashing from Jim Leyland. The Tigers finally appear to be striking back. And while 2 wins against a floundering Mariner team may not be enough to salvage a sinking season, it may be a start.
Hopefully, we’ll keep getting quality starts from our starters, and [...]

Things are looking bleak on the senior circuit, with the Tigers scuffling through a horrid stretch. Hope may soon be on the way courtesy of the Erie SeaWolves. Tiger Prospect Wilkin Ramirez has been tearing up Double A ball, and claims to be ready for the bigs. “I went 3 for 4 yesterday,” proclaimed the young buck, adding [...]

Somebody please explain Leyland’s infatuation with Zach Miner? Seriously, why do we keep trotting this guy out there? To recap the game, Bonderman gives us a strong outing, pitching 6 innings. He gets in trouble in the 7th, and who do we call on? No, not Rapada and his .93 ERA. No, not Lopez and [...]

Swept by the Royals? Please. Not only is this team playing bad, they look like they don’t even care. Now the only question is, am I calling coffin on the Tiger’s season, this ridiculous blog, or both?

OK. I promise not to turn this blog into a vendetta against an individual player or a bitch session. That said, I do need to vent about Edgar Renteria a bit. He once again turned in quite a game last night, finally ending an 0 for 20 stretch with a dribbler up the middle. Congrats. Well [...]

For some reason Marcus Thames never gets any love. I’ve been calling this guy “my Tiger” for 2+ years now. Think about all the big hits he gets. Hell, Thames is averaging 1 home run every 15 at bats on his career, and they almost always seem to come in big spots (late in the game or [...]

Big win for the Tigers last night. Yes, we blew a big lead and the starting pitching and bullpen looked rough. But a win is a win, and yes, there may be a light at the end of the tunnel. After this weekend, we will be finished with both the Red Sox and the Yankees [...]

Young Tiger shortstop prospect Cale Iorg is tearing up Lakeland. “He looks like a 40 year old man… from 1952.” Quipped Tiger correspondent Dave Bergman. Adding, ”he hits the hell out of the ball, and he’s hung like a Moscow Mule.”
“Olde man Cale,” as he is affectionately referred to, is batting .308 with three home runs. Contrary to [...]
