The difference tonight … Continue reading Game 1: The Day After →
PREGAME: The Tigers will try to avoid the sweep tonight as they close out their series with the Yankees. The Tigers have had two chances to be a Johnson this week but their bats weren’t up to the task. Maybe they’ll have better luck beating Wang. Justin Verlander, the last Tiger pitcher to win, will … Continue reading Game 54: Yankees at Tigers →

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 … Continue reading Game 131: Indians at Tigers →

Galarraga returns to Texas tonight, but Jim Leyland doesn’t want him … Continue reading Game 126: Tigers at Rangers →
PREGAME: The Tigers look to squeak out a series win. They’ll send out Zach Miner who is trying to lock up a spot in next year’s rotation.
