Game 161: Royals at Tigers

30.09.2006 55 comments

PREGAME: I’ll get this up nice and early today in case anybody cares to comments on the Twins/White Sox game this afternoon. As for the Comerica Park match-up it will be bullpen mishmash day. Zach Miner will take the ball for Detroit. He hasn’t thrown more than 40 pitches in a game since August 18th, [...]

Game 160: Royals at Tigers

29.09.2006 36 comments

PREGAME: Who would have thought that a Tigers-Royals series to end the season would mean so much back in March? Who would have thought it would have meant this much back in August? In any case, the Tigers have used up any margin for error they had accumulated in the early part of the season. [...]

I’m just saying

29.09.2006 3 comments

A collection of observations, links, and items of note from the last week: Ownership How many times did we hear this year that the Tigers own the Twins, and the White Sox own the Tigers? Now a popular refrain is that the A’s are a more favorable first round opponent than the Yankees because the [...]

The Tigers success has been bringing people downtown all summer. The Tigers are only 55,285 fans away from setting a new record in Comerica Park attendance.

Game 159: Blue Jays at Tigers

28.09.2006 40 comments

PREGAME: A Tigers loss, a Twins loss, and a Yankees win, mean that the Tigers are still in good shape for the Central Division, but don’t really have a shot at homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. The magic number for the division is 3 and the magic number for homefield is still 6. Today it [...]

Maroth not on playoff roster

27.09.2006 12 comments

Jim Leyland made the announcement today that Mike Maroth won’t be a member of the playoff roster. This is the right choice and hardly a surprise. Maroth has barely pitched since coming back from injury, and he hasn’t been effective with his limited opportunities. As a fan though, I feel horrible for MIke. He endured [...]

Game 158: Blue Jays at Tigers

27.09.2006 45 comments

PREGAME: The Tigers will look to extend their 4 game winning streak and continue to move closer to the AL Central title. The magic number is currently at 4 for the Central, and 6 for the homefield advantage. Tonight it will be a southpaw battle with Nate Robertson toeing the rubber for Detroit. Nate was [...]

Setting up the playoff rotation

26.09.2006 2 comments

Jim Leyland announced today that Justin Verlander wouldn’t be making his start on Saturday. This is probably good on a couple fronts. First, Verlander’s velocity was down in his last start. He’s well eclilpsed his previous innings threshold and fatigue is certainly a reality. I can’t speak to how much a couple extra days will [...]

Game 157: Blue Jays at Tigers

26.09.2006 67 comments

PREGAME: The playoff bound Tigers return home to try and secure the AL Central and possibly the best record in baseball. The magic number for the Central is 5. They are currently tied with the Yankees for best record, but the Yankees hold the head-to-head tiebreaker advantage so the Tigers actually need to beat out [...]
