ESPN highlights available here. The Score: Tigers 7 – Twins 2 The Gist: Eddie Bonine walked the tightrope in the first inning but was just giving the Twins a taste of Tuesday afternoon’s medicine: a starting pitcher teetering on a horrific start only to rebound and stifle the opponent the rest of the way. Tuesday’s [...]

Who knew? The team I called “heartless” yesterday showed more than enough Wednesday night and, lo and behold, they are one win away from clinching the American League Central title. How often have you been able to say that? For me, it’s been just four times — 1981, ’84, ’87 and ’06 — and in [...]

Fret not, the #Tigers are going to hang 3 on Pavano in a hurry. Assuming Bonine lets them bat. # Granderson is has been Mediocre-son at best in the field # Enough of the madness. Put Jack Morris in the Hall of Fame AND the #Tigers' radio booth in place of Jim Price. # Two [...]

I know this is bygones, but wouldn't it be nice to have Jair Jurrjens in the #Tigers rotation about now? #bygones #wishfulthinking # Dan Dickerson's second-most-used phrase this season: "The #Tigers threaten but do not score…" #negativity # I think tonight's Detroit weather will seem balmy to the Twins at Target Field next April. #karma [...]

ESPN highlights available here. The Score: Twins 3 – Tigers 2, 10 innings The Gist: Stop us if you heard this one: The Tigers had plenty of baserunners but a dearth of clutch hitters. Rick Porcello was lights-out for the Tigers over six-and-a-third innings but his offense made Nick Blackburn look like Bert Blyleven. And [...]
