One Of Those Nights »

Livan Hernandez had command of his pitches and the Tigers on this night. Magglio Ordonez hit a long home run in the second, and the team loaded the based with nobody out in the same inning, but then Ivan Rodriguez hit a short fly ball to right on which Miguel Cabrera did not attempt [...]

Sweep…Sweep…Sweep »

The Tigers swept the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium for the first time since the beginning of the 1966 season when they won the opener on April 12 and swept a doubleheader on April 14. The Yankees returned the favor in the Bronx from August 26 - 28 of that year. The Tigers will never be swept [...]

Walking The Bases Loaded »

Kenny Rogers pitched 6 innings and allowed 2 runs on 6 hits while striking out 4. He also walked 4, three of which were in the 3rd inning which loaded the bases. He was able to get out of trouble by getting Robinson Cano and Johnny Damon to fly out to left field.
The [...]

Last (Regular Season) Trip to Yankee Stadium »

Yankee Stadium is one of the most (if not the most) majestic stadium in Major League Baseball.
If you have ever been there, you know there is a lot of history surrounding the building outside and inside the park. I had the privilege of going to two games at the House that Ruth built. [...]

Not Quite Enough, Still Nice To See »

Tonight’s game was a good game to watch, especially if you were an impartial observer.  For Tiger fans, it was also a good game, but they saw a 4 game winning streak by their team end.  Here’s a recap.
Both starting pitchers looked great in the first 3 innings not allowing a run.  In the 4th, Nate [...]

The ace gets his first! »

The Tigers pounded out an 11 hit attack, including 3 home runs, that propelled them to a 10-2 win over the Texas Rangers in front of a paid attendance of 33,629.  Justin Verlander got his first win of the year as he pitched 6 innings and allowed 1 run and 6 hits.
Jacque Jones contributed with a triple and [...]

Second Half Offense Saves Tigers »

Tonight Kenny Rogers started out rough giving up four runs, and the Tiger hitters left men too many men on base in the first five innings.  They were unable to take advantage of 7 walks given up by David Purcey, a man called up from AAA Syracuse. 
In the 6th inning things changed when the Tigers got [...]

What’s Up With Our Ace? »

We have seen the hitting come around(although not present tonight), so what is wrong with Justin Verlander?  Although he had a good outing through 7 innings in Chicago on April 12, he has not been the dominant pitcher he can be in most of his starts.  The Tigers need him to find his rhythm and get [...]

Offense Prevails, And A Nice Pitching Effort »

The Tigers had their hitting shoes on and took advantage of C.C Sabathia who walked 5 and did not retire a batter in the 5th inning.  Miguel Cabrera seems to have found his stroke as he went 3 for 4 including a 2 run homer in the 2nd.  Edgar Renterria’s grand slam in the 5th highlighted [...]

The Bats Come Alive »

This was the team we have been waiting to see.  Unlike Saturday in Chicago, the 8th inning was a great one for the Tigers, scoring 6 runs to take a 2 run lead.  It was nice to see Pudge Rodriguez pumped up after getting the 2 run triple to tie the game.
The Tigers poured it on with [...]
