That quote is from team owner Mike Illitch. This season comes to a merciful end tonight and then the work to strip away the detritus and find the core of this team begins. Some moves have already been made.
Many more can be expected this offseason. The Tigers will need to find pitching […]

That quote is from Tigers manager Jim Leyland and was included in Jerry Green’s August 17 article in the Detroit News. The next game saw the team surrender 16 runs to the Baltimore Orioles. It concluded a 4-6 homestand record against some of the worst teams [Oakland, Baltimore] in major league baseball.
But wait, […]

After a rough series against the Chicago White Sox last week, it looks like the Tigers will miss the playoffs for the second straight year. The good news is Miguel Cabrera looks like he’s finally come around and is hitting the way he should. Trading Pudge didn’t work out too well with Kyle […]

So I expected the Tigers offense to start cooking with kerosene when Curtis Granderson was activated but I didn’t expect it to happen quite this quickly! Jim Leyland also said he’d juggle his infield, putting Miguel Cabrera at first and Carlos Guillen at third. It didn’t happen tonight as Guillen stayed at first […]

With reports that Curtis Granderson will be back sometime after this weekend it looks like the Tigers are poised to finally start playing competitive baseball. It couldn’t come any sooner as the team is currently in the basement of the American League but has gone 6-4 over their past 10 games.
Having Granderson in center […]

The Tigers won a game! They aren’t going to go 0-162 [like that was going to happen]. Edgar Renteria, whom I ripped upon news of him being traded to Detroit, came through with a 2-run double and also scored on a Brandon Inge single.
The Tigers are back, b!tches!!

During the 2006 season the Tigers rose to a level of success that might only be rivaled by the Pistons when they came out of nowhere to win the NBA title in 2004. The difference is the Pistons weren’t Detroit Lions bad before they finally won that championship. The Tigers were prior to […]

After the Tigers lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2006 World Series I thought they’d need to make a trade that would be the equivalent of the Red Wings trade that brought Brendan Shanahan to Detroit.
Going back to the Red Wings analogy, the team finally made it over the hump from contender […]

I wasn’t impressed at all with the trade for Edgar Renteria but I REALLY like the trade for the D-Train and Miguel Cabrera. The lineup is going to be sick and should be able to compete with and beat just about anyone - including the BoSox.
The lineup
Grandy - CF
Polly - 2B
Sheff - DH
Maggs - […]
