Detroit Tigers Schedule Becomes More Favorable

By

The Detroit Tigers start to the season has been very average. The Cleveland Indians and Kansas City Royals have been the toast of the division, but that is obviously nothing more than fool’s gold. The former would also lead the East and the West in the American League. Tell me that is going to last! The best case scenario is that the success of the Royals and Indians … [Read more...] about Detroit Tigers Schedule Becomes More Favorable

Detroit Tigers: what a difference a week makes

By

Outfielder Brennan Boesch has been a ray of light for the Detroit Tigers. His consistency and high batting average have been constants for the Tigers throughout this season. The starting pitching struggled mightily during the first week, but that has also rebounded during the second. Miguel Cabrera’s numbers will be there at the end of the year and with no club ion a scorching … [Read more...] about Detroit Tigers: what a difference a week makes

Injury-Ravaged Tigers Lineup Resembling Infamous ’03 Tigers

By

Last week the Detroit Tigers trotted out a lineup that was so unimpressive, it resembled the infamous 2003 Detroit Tigers. You know the team that set an American League record for losses in a season, and finished just one win ahead of the 1962 New York Mets, the most abominable in MLB history. So here's the lineup from that day, juxtaposed against the lineup from that day seven … [Read more...] about Injury-Ravaged Tigers Lineup Resembling Infamous ’03 Tigers

Detroit Tigers need to think about the future

By

By H. Jose Bosch Detroit, who for the last few seasons has been among the ranks of the highest payroll teams in baseball, may not be at the top following this off season. With news breaking that the Tigers are looking to trade All-star Edwin Jackson, it appears the economy is finally catching up. When I first heard the news, I was very upset. As disappointing as the … [Read more...] about Detroit Tigers need to think about the future

White Sox Factor Loom Large in Twins\Tigers Play-in Game

By

By Soxman Tip your cap to those scrappy Twins.  They became your 2009 AL Central Division Champions in one of the best baseball games I’ve ever watched.  12 innings of exciting action, where neither team would go quietly into that good night. As I watched the game closely, I could not help but marvel at how much of an impact the Chicago White Sox had on this game. Confused?  … [Read more...] about White Sox Factor Loom Large in Twins\Tigers Play-in Game

Twins vs. Tigers: Who Do Sox Fans Cheer For?

By

By Soxman Two teams, one game, and the winner moves on to the postseason while the loser goes home for the winter.  Sox fans know this scenario oh too well as we needed the famous “blackout play-in game” in 2009 to earn our central division crown.  For Twins fans, it is as Yogi Berra says, "dejvu all over again!" So as the Twin vs. Tigers game on Tuesday approaches, several … [Read more...] about Twins vs. Tigers: Who Do Sox Fans Cheer For?

Cabrera’s off field troubles present problems for Tigers, fans

By

By H. Jose Bosch Now that Cabrera’s issues have been aired (and the audio of the 911 call released) the issue at hand is this: How should the Tigers respond because they certainly can’t ignore it at this point. It’s been reported on by all kinds of media. Here are several solutions: Dave Dombrowski or Jim Leyland address it briefly and swiftly, spit out the standard … [Read more...] about Cabrera’s off field troubles present problems for Tigers, fans

The Tigers’ collapse should come as no surprise

By

By H. Jose Bosch Today I have a splitting headache and I’m not sure if it’s because I might have swine flu or because the Tigers epically failed to seal the division championship over the weekend. To be honest, I’d rather have the swine flu. The Tigers 5-3 win yesterday afternoon, a win that forced a one-game playoff tomorrow evening, only proves the point that no … [Read more...] about The Tigers’ collapse should come as no surprise
