This could fail miserably…but here goes. I found this gem on Amazon a few days ago (under “Books you may like” what does this say?). I’m only a few chapters into it, but it is FANTASTIC, and I think that several of you would really enjoy it. Here’s the write-up from Amazon: ************* An ex-Wall [...]

Game 2013.43: Tigers at Indians

20.05.2013 11 comments

The Detroit Tigers (23-19) travel to Cleveland (28-15) for a two-game set and a veritable rematch in several ways beyond the obvious: The Indians are hot (still); the Tigers are coming off two consecutive losses to another “red team” (again), and; the pitching matchups are also reruns. This time, the Tigers find themselves looking up [...]

23-18, 2nd place, 1.5 games behind Cle (who have now won 4 in a row) Anibal Sanchez did his best Justin Verlander last night, and promptly got booted in the 3rd inning after allowing 11 base runners and 5 ER. The Tigers were never really in the game, and the best offense in baseball was [...]

23-17, 2nd place, .5 games behind Cle (won earlier today) Wow, what a game last night. Spectacular effort by Porcello (that’s now 24 Ks in his last 25 IPs – 3.24 ERA and a .96 WHIP…pretty salty), and the bullpen was almost as good. Luckily, I was at a graduation celebration last night and didn’t [...]

22-17, 1st place, tied w/Cle. Yu gotta be kidding me. That was awful. Worst inning of Verlander’s career. Let’s move on to the next game as soon as possible. We’ll need little Ricky P to step up tonight or else we’ll be in danger of a very nasty 4 game series. (1-3 always feels like [...]

22-16, 1st place, .5 games up. The Tigers are 6-1 v. the Astros, outscoring them 55-19. (They could be 7-0 with a margin of 59-19 if Tiger stadium weren’t so big…) They are 16-15 versus everyone else. So how good are the Tigers, really? Well, the numbers, as posted by Coleman yesterday, are pretty darn [...]

Detroit Tigers: 22-15, 1st Place (1.5 ahead of Cleveland) Well, as I promised, here comes more about where the Tigers are after two “innings” of the 2013 season, or 2/9 of the season if you prefer.  It may be a bit unwieldy for a game post; perhaps you may wish to save it for a [...]

Detroit Tigers: 21-15, 1st Place (.5 ahead of Cleveland) Last night was not only the 5th consecutive game that the Tigers have won from the Houston Astros, but it was the 36th game of the season, which means it was the end of the 2nd inning, to revive a Billfer tradition, which was inspired by [...]

Detroit Tigers: 20-15, 2nd Place (.5 behind Cleveland) The Tigers slipped down into 2nd place after losing 2-of-3 to the Cleveland Native Americans, and even though they didn’t win the series there were some things to like about how they played (and things not to like). The big news for today though, is that the [...]

20-14, 1st place, 1 game up on Cleveland. Hypotenuse game of the series coming up, and it will be for all the marbles. Or at least half of them. ********* Get Al Alburquerque out of Detroit. At least for a while. Please. This has gone on long enough. Game 34 was Tigers 6, Indians 4, [...]

20-13, in first place by 1.5 games. Is this the first Saturday night game of the year? Seems like it. Phil Coke has been activated, and Luke Putkonen has been optioned back to Toledo. I was thinking Alburquerque was next in line for Toledo, but instead the Tigers may opt for the ever-popular retroactively injured [...]

Were you disappointed by the short series against the Nationals? I sure was. Sweep the Astros, fall flat against the Washington National Angels (can’t they beat teams that wear red?)…what does that spell? It spells O-V-E-R-R-A-T-E-D. Until the next bout of euphoria, anyway. The recently somewhat deflated and first place by a nose Detroit Tigers (19-13) [...]
