PREGAME: It’s a gorgeous night in Detroit for what should be a phenomenal pitching match-up. It will be Justin Verlander taking on Johan Santana.
This is the 3rd time that the Tigers have faced Santana this season. They haven’t lit him up by any means, but they did push across a couple runs [...]

Zach Miner has rejoined the team for the DL. To make room the Tigers have put Tim Byrdak on the DL with tendonitis. And the revolvling door continues in the bullpen.
Byrdak has really struggled in his last 4 outings with batters posting a 409/435/909 line against him including 7 extra base hits. [...]

PREGAME: Time to get rid of that case of the uglies that the Tigers have picked up since returning home. Kenny Rogers will try to replicate his debut outing in Atlanta. Meanwhile the Tigers will try to replicate their last effort against Kevin MIllwood.
Marcus Thames is in for Craig Monroe today and [...]

Where I overreact and overthink a couple of topics…
Maggs the spray hitter?
Not that I’m complaining about a guy who is leading the all the Majors in hitting, but do you think that Ordonez is focusing on going for the batting title? His last 8 hits have all been singles, and it seems the majority [...]

PREGAME: Hopefull it’s a bounce back night, both for the Tigers who played a clunker last night, and Nate Robertson who returns to the rotation after a stint on the DL and a really bad month of May. Nate’s last start was against the Rangers when he allowed 6 runs without retiring a [...]
