Catalanotto poised to enter AL batting raceOnce again, a discarded Tiger does good. Catalanotto is hitting .341 and is only 10 AB’s shy of qualifying for the hitting title. Once he qualifies he’ll only trail Ichiro and Roberto Alomar.

Russ, while I agree with your main point about Higgy not being a MVP caliber player, I think you’ve over estimated the Juan Gonzalez protection effect. At your suggestion, I took a look at the statistics from last year and I found Bobby was much more productive when Juan was not in the lineup. AB [...]

Way back in April, ESPN’s Power Alley had the Tigers ranked 27th. The little comment they included for the Tigers was: If there’s a worse pitcher in the bigs than C.J. Nitkowski please point him out to us At the time I thought that was a little harsh. Unfortunately CJ has lived down to this [...]

Last night’s game against the Royals was a great game to go to. The park was pretty full, which is a big deal these days in Detroit. I am not sure if the park was full because there were Friday night fireworks or because it was Lima Time (that was for you Bill). I only [...]

I was going to let this whole Mike Sweeney incident go with my previous blog (or short novel whichever you prefer) but, now that Sweeney opened his unintelligent mouth again, I can’t. I will go on record, I used to be a fan of Mike Sweeney. I read a great article in the Kasas City [...]

Sweeney suspended for 10 games, Fick for eightI guess causing a melee and throwing your helmet at someone with their back turned is only worth 2 games. Oh yeah, and Weaver got fined also for being attacked. And it took them a whole week to come up with this?

Cj Nitkowksi has decided to stop updating his site. Not a big deal, but I do like the section on his Teammates because he lists nicknames also. Let’s hear it for Juan “Cool Ass” Encarnacion.

All I can say about the KC vs. Detroit game last night was WOW!!! While Sweeney claims that Weaver called him some profane names, there is absolutely NO EXCUSE for charging a pitcher with his back turned and then throwing your batting helmet at him. Not to mention Sweeney’s defense of his actions was that [...]

The Tigers ended their 6 game losing streak by beating Texas 7-3 last night. The Tigers really did do some things right last night Another strong performance by Adam Pettyjohn, who is still looking for his first win. Some great at-bats took place in the 8th inning. Fick showed considerable patience fouling off several pitches [...]

So who is Luis Pineda?While everybody was focusing on the lack of offense, nobody noticed that the Tigers optioned Kevin Tolar back to Toledo and brought up Luis Pineda. According to baseballprospectus.com, he is a character and a fellow countryman of Jose Lima. The good news is he’s only 23. The bad news is that [...]
