AL MVP Talk: Why Josh Hamilton's Injury Is Miguel Cabrera's Gain
National News Source:Bleacher Report - Detroit Tigers - September 5 03:52 PM EDT
"I can't say for sure, but all signs point to not soon. It's not good."

This was unusual though, because Quentin was the leading AL MVP candidate at the time, having already belted 36 home runs and driven in 100 RBI.
Now it's 2010, where a similar situation h... Read More »

Game 2010.131: Tigers at Blue Jays
Blogs Source:The Detroit Tiger Weblog - August 29 10:26 AM EDT
There have been some flashbacks to the 1987 season when the Tigers took 4/7 games over the last two weeks to close out the division. Incredibly, every single game was won by 1 run. I’ll never forget when the Tigers clinched on a solo shot by Herndon and a complete game shutout gem tossed by [...]... Read More »

Game 2010.130: Tigers at Blue Jays
Blogs Source:The Detroit Tiger Weblog - August 28 10:42 AM EDT
It’s easy to be upset with Coke following last night’s loss, but let’s focus on the real cause. 1 for 16 with RISP. Even Laird should get 3 hits in 16 ABs. And I still don’t get pinch-hitting Santiago for Boesch in the 7th. It looks like we’ve got our work cut out for us [...]... Read More »

The Tigers start play on Saturday at 64-65, 9.5 games back. A year ago today, the Twins were 64-64, 4.5 games back. So there’s hope. Maybe not for the Tigers. But there’s hope.... Read More »

Blogs Source:The Detroit Tiger Weblog - August 27 04:08 PM EDT
Tommy John for Strasburg…that’s rough. Tigers are in a nice little run, thanks to their starting pitching. They have seven consecutive quality starts and a 1.09 ERA during that time. They have won 6/7 (let’s put that 8th inning Valverde debacle behind us) and are reminding us why May and June were so much fun. [...]... Read More »

Scherzer has just been lights out as of late, no need to explain. Romero has evolved into a front of the rotation guy in his own right, though he has been hit hard as of late. He was tremendous early in the season, though his July and August ERA is at 5.23 with a 1.38 [...]... Read More »

Two for Tuesday: Damon Decisions, Ordonez Operations

Thoughts on the news out of Comerica Park today: Johnny Damon. I don’t care that the Tigers are going nowhere this season, Damon has been a good soldier for the Tigers and, based on what we read, he’s provided clubhouse leadership and mentorship for a youthful team. As of this writing, the Tigers are running [...]... Read More »
