The Score: Twins 8 – Tigers 3

The Gist: Wasted opportunities. Sure, the usual ones — stranded runners, untimely hitting — but also new and exciting storylines. Like, four errors by the Twins, a bizarrely mediocre Joe Nathan and…oh, what’s the difference? Nate Robertson pitched well enough to not lose but not much [...]

Looking at the scene today at Comerica Park — brilliant blue skies, a sun-drenched field — I can’t help but think back to three years ago today when the Tigers choked on a golden opportunity to win a division title. History repeating itself?

Dan Gladden made an interesting point on the pre-game interview with Jim Price [...]

Celebrate Nate! I might be the only person in the Tigers Fan Universe looking forward to Robertson’s return to the rotation. Ian?
Today’s Walewanders are fueled by Almighty Blend coffee from Ann Arbor’s Mighty Good Coffee Roasting Co., sent along by the aforementioned Mr. Casselberry.

A few random thoughts on the recent play of the Tigers…
The Cleveland Clinic: Justin Verlander is once again proving that when his stuff is on, there are few better in the AL… And Edwin Jackson has proved my (and others’) skepticism about this deal unfounded. He seems to be the pitcher everyone in LA and [...]

If the Tigers are dead-set against using Ramon Santiago as their everyday SS in 2009 (and I really don’t understand why they are), what are their options?

The Gist: The Tigers completed a three-game sweep of the Yankees in New York Thursday night — the first since yours truly was a negative two years old — with an 8-4 win. Ramon Santiago, in his first start at shortstop this year, hit a key triple in the sixth to break [...]

The Gist: When Ramon Santiago goes yard, that’s gotta be a good sign for the Tigers, right? It certainly was on Tuesday night when the Tigers’ second baseman drove in three runs and Justin Verlander finally put together the start we’d been waiting for: six innings pitched, six hits, one earned run.

Greetings,
I figured if this Drudge fellow can have his own report, why can’t I have mine? (Plus, during the school year, once a week is about all I can muster for blogging.)
Well, here I sit staring at this morning’s paper and an 0-6 record after six home games. I haven’t even found the time to [...]
