Game 136: Royals at Tigers

31.08.2008 29 comments

PREGAME: Gil Meche, who the Tigers haven’t seen since May, will take on Armando Galarraga. Galarraga will try to keep that ERA in the low 3′s and make a run at ROY honors. Meche will try to hold the Tigers down yet again. KCR @ DET, Saturday, August 31, 2008 Game Preview – Baseball-Reference.com Game [...]

Game 135: Royals at Tigers

30.08.2008 13 comments

PREGAME: As college football descends upon us, Kenny Rogers will take on Brandon Duckworth. These two met last weekend, and it kicked off a 4 game losing streak for the Tigers. Rogers didn’t pitch well, the Tigers didn’t field well, and the Tigers couldn’t convert the 11 baserunners they mustered off of Duckworth into more [...]

Dave Dombrowski Profile

30.08.2008

Google Book Search has The 2008 Hardball Times Baseball Annual. If you’ve been reading this site for a while, you may remember that I contributed an article about Dave Dombrowski. Well that article happens to be one of the ones made available on Google. So if you were to cheap to buy the annual (I [...]

Game 134: Royals at Tigers

29.08.2008 17 comments

PREGAME: If you’re looking for a reason to get excited about tonight, it will be the first game in Comerica Park’s history with instant replay. Hey, I never said it was a good reason. Zach Miner and Kyle Davies face off. Woot. KCR @ DET, Friday, August 29, 2008 Game Preview – Baseball-Reference.com POSTGAME: Hey, [...]

And that will close the book on Todd Jones

27.08.2008 19 comments

It is looking more and more like Todd Jones has thrown his last pitch. He was with the team the past couple days, but the shoulder isn’t getting better and he is headed home to Alabama. Jones called a team meeting before the Tigers went out on the field for batting practice and, with hugs, [...]

Game 133: Indians at Tigers

27.08.2008 40 comments

PREGAME: Please Tigers. Please show up tonight. Please Verlander, don’t crap out once again against an Indians team missing Hafner, Martinez, and Blake. Please offense, beat the stuffing out of Carmona. Please top of the order, drive in a run, or 12. I can’t take the sucking anymore. Jeff Larish starts at third tonight and [...]

Tigers heading to Arizona

26.08.2008 9 comments

The Tigers announced the bulk of their Arizona Fall League representatives. They are sending Luis Marte, Rudy Darrow, Casey Fien, Zach Simons, Jeff Larish, and Clete Thomas. Luis Marte is a nice selection. He emerged earlier this year as a rising prospect, but lost a chunk of the year to injury. This gives him some [...]

Guillen’s back=not good

26.08.2008 1 comment

Carlos Guillen continues to battle back problems, and the situation doesn’t sound good. He’s experiencing numbness in his right leg and soreness in both hamstrings. Hopefully the Tigers take it easy with Guillen, and Guillen takes it easy as well. If there is a silver lining it’s that the injury may give the Tigers an [...]

Game 131: Indians at Tigers

26.08.2008 102 comments

PREGAME: I’m watching this one from the friendly confines of my couch, so the Tigers have a chance. On paper, this isn’t a good match-up for the Tigers. Then again on paper the Tigers looked like contenders. The Indians send out uber pitcher and Cy Young (and maybe MVP) front runner Cliff Lee. Oddly, the [...]

Daily Linking – 8/26

26.08.2008 3 comments

Links of note, or stuff I find interesting, or stuff I think you might find interesting Tigers to try Larish at third – Jeff Larish heads to the Arizona Fall League to work on fielding the hot corner. Smart move since he's effectively blocked at first base. At the very least maybe he increases his [...]

Game 131: Indians at Tigers

25.08.2008 96 comments

PREGAME: In March when I bought tickets to this game, I thought it would be huge. To teams jockeying for position in the AL Central. And boy was I right. The surging Indians, winners of 14 of their last 20, are only 1.5 games back of the third place Tigers. Sigh. Anywho, Armando Galarraga looks [...]

Game 130: Tigers at Royals

24.08.2008 21 comments

PREGAME: The Tigers and Royals have played 3 series this season. All have been sweeps. So for the sake of consistency, the Tigers should just go ahead and keep things tidy with a sweep today. They send out Kenny Rogers. Rogers has been decent over his last 3 starts. He’s posted a 4.66 ERA with [...]
