The Tigers are dragging ass through the dog days of summer, scuffling to an anti climatic ending to the 2008 season. About the only thing interesting now is the late inning carnage delivered by the bullpen, and the new and unusual ways we find to blow late leads (Renteria errors, bullpen meltdowns, etc.).
I know it’s [...]

A starting pitcher with an ERA approaching 7? A closer with an ERA nearing 6? Robertson and Rodney are quite the dynamic duo. How can Leyland justify trotting these clowns out there? I suppose you could argue we don’t have much choice. Then again, blowing 6-0 leads, giving up 8 runs in 3 innings, walking [...]

A few that could still use a bit of [...]

The Tigers have won 6 games in a row and it seems most everything is suddenly going their way. Thames is hitting the hell out of the ball, the Inge/Rodriguez platoon at catcher is working to keep them both fresh and engaged, the starting pitching has been solid, and the bullpen is getting healthy.
One thing that may [...]

Who you calling fat? Unless you throw a “ph” in front of that “at” and remove the “f” I’ll have none of it. Miguel Cabrera is going to be a legend in this town before it is all said and done. Who cares if he chains smokes cigarettes and hangs with Ricky Martin? Sure, these [...]
