PREGAME: Back to the left coast, and in search of some sort of groove. The Tigers have been playing pretty uneven since sweeping the Twins. Tonight they’ll take on a team that is in first place despite being in a little bit of a funk. Remind you of another team?
The Tigers [...]

PREGAME: Finally the series that wouldn’t end reaches the rubber game. It’s Justin Verlander and John Danks. No Carlos Guillen or Gary Sheffield so Magglio will be lonely in the middle of the lineup.

It’s not as though they wouldn’t seek one more arm for their bullpen, or another hitter or catcher, but the asking price is going [...]

PREGAME: The Tigers now try to salvage a split of the double header. They’ll send out Virgil Vasquez who hopefully will be a little better than in his debut in which he didn’t make it out of the 3rd inning. At least Bonderman kept the pen fresh if such an unfortunate event [...]

The Tigers optioned Jose Capellan to Toledo to make room for Virgil Vasquez to start tonight. Capellan was one of the 3 pitchers in the Tigers pen who actually has options. Apparently that takes precedence over performance because Jason Grilli would otherwise be the odd man out.
Tim Byrdak has joined the team and [...]
