Jeremy’s June

30.06.2006 5 comments

Everybody has been waiting for Jeremy Bonderman’s “arrival” for the last few years. Early in the season Bonderman vacillated between really good, and well, not very good. For a spell in late April and early May he was arguably the worst pitcher in the Tigers rotation. But with the arrival of the month of June, [...]

Game 80: Tigers at Pirates

30.06.2006 6 comments

PREGAME: If the Tigers win tonight, they will match the pace of the 1984 Tigers. It would also give them their first 20 win month since 1979. The matchup certainly looks favorable with Kenny Rogers taking of Kip Wells. Wells is making just his 3rd start of the season after coming back from surgery to [...]

Dmitri Young talked with Rob Parker abouth is battle with alcoholism and his journey back. Young is facing a battle on 2 fronts. He has to overcome his off the field issues, and show that he deserves a spot on the team and in the starting lineup. It’s interesting that the Phillies and Brett Myers [...]

On the 6th Day…

28.06.2006 14 comments

Justin Verlander had a dominating performance today throwing 8 shut out innings. He was making a start on 5 days rest, and it wasn’t the first time he seems to have benefited from an extra day of vacation. In fact, in his 4 top starts (ranked by Game Score) 3 have come when he’s had [...]

Game 79: Astros at Tigers

28.06.2006 24 comments

PREGAME: Justin Verlander looks to keep things rolling. If I recall correctly this is Justin’s 3rd home start on get-away day. I remember the other 2 (one against the Angels and one against the White Sox) didn’t turn out so well. The Tigers will be facing Andy Petitte and his 5.75 ERA. The Tigers will [...]

Dmitri to rehab (baseball)

28.06.2006 16 comments

Dmitri Young is heading to Lakeland to begin a strength and conditioning program. Upon completion of the program he’ll head to AAA Toledo for a rehab assignment. I’m actually quite surprised by this. I fully expected that Young’s career as a Tiger was over. I expected he’d stay on the DL throughout the season and [...]

Game 78: Astros at Tigers

27.06.2006 16 comments

PREGAME: After beating up on Wandy Rodriguez last night, the Tigers will face a slightly more formidable challenge in Roger Clemens…I really don’t have much more to say. Roger Clemens is really good, and none of the current Tigers have had a great deal of success. I’ve seen Clemens pitch in person one time. It [...]

Much Ado About Abreu

26.06.2006 9 comments

This weeks hot trade rumor is centered on Bobby Abreu. Lynn Henning has been chasing the story and wrote up the case for it today. But with the articles came the denials. Pat Gillick says that he’s not interested in trading hitting right now, but that there is legitimate buzz about the Tigers interest.
