Brandon Inge came down with a case of mononucleosis this week. He should know that sharing drinks with those around him is taboo. It’s either that or he is putting his face too close to sickly people. Jhonny Peralta has been carrying his weight offensively on the right side of the infield for some time. Inge does however possess a cannon for an arm over at third, and he also … [Read more...] about Brandon Inge On the Sidelines Could Help the Detroit Tigers

Tigers Jim Leyland has Loses it over Detroit Talk Radio Questioning (Audio)
One of the most important things you have to learn when you work in any enterprise that invites public criticism is- don't fire back. Stay above the fray. Let the meatheads and idiots have their say. And even the intelligent with well-reasoned critiques, let it go. Remember you're the one on stage, they're watching you, meaning you automatically have the higher ground.

Jim Leyland’s Return to Pittsburgh Less than Triumphant
The Detroit Tigers played a three game interleague series last weekend in PNC Park in Pittsburgh. One of baseball’s most breathtaking ballparks has consistently housed one of the worst teams because ownership has refused to spend money over the last decade plus.

Detroit Tigers: Undefeated for the Week
After a lackluster start to the season, it seems that Jim Leyland has the Tigers on track racking up victory after victory this week. Playing the Twins lately can right the ship for a lot of teams.

The Tigers put nineteen runs up on the board in those two … [Read more...] about Detroit Tigers: Undefeated for the Week
Verlander’s 2nd No Hitter Distracts Detroit Tiger Fans From Mediocrity
On Saturday, Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander took a perfect game into the 8th inning in Toronto. It didn't happen, but he did close out the no-hitter, the second of his career. He joins Mark Buerhle of the White Sox and Roy Halladay of the Phillies as the only active MLB pitchers with two. For Tigers fans, it was a nice distraction from how mediocre their season has been … [Read more...] about Verlander’s 2nd No Hitter Distracts Detroit Tiger Fans From Mediocrity
Detroit Tigers: what a difference a week makes
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.

Assessing the Detroit Tigers Performance out of the Gate
Much like the Minnesota Twins, the Detroit Tigers are not where they expected to be a little over one week into regular season play. They had the spotlight on them opening day against the Yankees-only to struggle. Whether it's April or not, it is totally unacceptable for this team to lose back to back series against the likes of the Baltimore Orioles and the Kansas City … [Read more...] about Assessing the Detroit Tigers Performance out of the Gate
Sobriety: The Key to Miguel Cabrera (and the Detroit Tigers’) Season
For my money, the two most talented offensive players in the American League are Josh Hamilton and Miguel Cabrera. Both of them have also battled substance abuse issues during their playing careers. The Tigers have a legitimate chance at the AL Central division title this year, but they must have a MVP type season from Cabrera. Twelve step programs have been around for years … [Read more...] about Sobriety: The Key to Miguel Cabrera (and the Detroit Tigers’) Season
