It only took 130 games, but the Tigers are no longer the lowest scoring team in the majors. Last night they moved ahead of the LA Dodgers by one run. Granted, the Dogers play in the NL, and the Dogers have given up 293 fewer runs than the Tigers have allowed, and the Tigers are [...]

Well, I’m back up and online. However, I’m still out of the loop on the Tigers. Thursday night when I was sitting in the dark, I tuned in 1270 but they were off the air. Last night, I didn’t have the TV on trying to conserve electricity. And, my fantasy football draft is tomorrow which [...]

Kyle Sleeth signs

11.08.2003

Tigers first round pick Kyle Sleeth finally signed. He’ll start pitching in the instructional leage in the fall. Apparently he needed a break anyways. “‘I had a heavy workload this year.

Closing the Books on July

01.08.2003

Since my June month in review was pretty well received, I thought I’d do another one for July. Unfortunately, ESPN’s sortable stats don’t look like they include the July 31 games yet, so we’re actuallly looking at the month minus one day. And seeing as I’m off on a road trip to visit Great Amercian [...]
