Let's Get Rolling
We're about 10 minutes away from the second game of the season, and with Opening Day's festivities over, it is time to get serious. Well, as serious as it gets this early in the season anyway.Kenny...

We've heard Mario Impemba and Rod Allen say "It's not everyday you see Placido Polanco go 0fer in a game, let's see if he gets a hit here" literally hundreds of times. Most times, Polly comes through...

Hopefully this will be the last time I have to write about a sweep of the Tigers this year, but there's a chance it isn't. This is by far the most unexpected start to the way this season was supposed...
View ArticleThis Team Is Becoming Increasingly Frustrating
Yeah. I don't even know. I'm not sure if I have any opinions on today's game other than I hate Jason Grilli. Yep. I hate Jason Grilli, that's about it.
View ArticleUgh.
Maybe because it's a abnormally beautiful weekend in East Lansing, but I couldn't find it within myself to actually write about these past two games. Maybe that was another reason - it was physically...
View ArticleEmbarrassing, Really.
There's nothing like watching your team tank on national TV. I had that feeling when MSU lost to Notre Dame in football in 2006, when the basketball team got blown out last week by Memphis, and now the...

Hopefully, everyone enjoyed the day off yesterday. I knew it was good for me because I think I would have broken my window in my room if I was forced to sit and watch another poor performance on the...

1-7 Never Felt So Good
Who cares about the record? Who cares about the standings? Who cares about anything right now?The Tigers have finally won a game. And that, my friends, is all that matters.Oddly enough, it was the...

It's getting pretty frustrating watching FSN Detroit these days. Living in Case Hall at MSU leaves me with Residence Hall Cable, which does not have FSN+. That means for the past two days, I've been...
View ArticleGood God
It's really not fair for this lineup to ever have a game like this. Nearly get no-hit by a guy named Gavin and waste a perfectly good outing by Justin Verlander, who would have not allowed more than...

I HATE FSN+ And Jim Leyland Owns
It's the magic of the Jim Leyland "Fire and Brimstone" speech, I swear to God. Nothing is scarier than a old man in spikes who will beat your ass while he smokes a cigarette and talks like Barry White....
View ArticleOK, So Maybe I'm Warming Up To This FSN+ Idea
Well, it's 12:30 in the morning and I'm just now watching the bottom of the fifth inning of tonight's game. Sure, I know how it ends but that makes it worthwhile - a series win (sweep even),...

What's better than winning a ballgame? Having your star leadoff man be pain-free after taking his first batting practice since breaking his hand. It's been a long three weeks without Curtis, but if he...
View ArticleMy Version of the "What's Wrong With the Tigers" Post
After writing last night, I kind of had this strange feeling that I should have done my own piece on what I think is wrong with the Tigs thus far. It's kind of a glaring necessity once things start...
View ArticleWell, Well, Well
There we go. Fifteen games into the season and the Tigers offense full on blew up for the first real time. The game on Monday was a nice 10 spot, but going for 13 tonight, including nine against C.C....

Just wanted to drop in and apologize for the weekend-long break. It was my birthday yesterday, so I was a tad bit busy for the last four days or so. I promise I'll check back in later when I'm...

That's pretty much all that needs to be said about today's game - solid. Armando Galarraga pitched solidly, not quite as spectacularly as he did in his last game against Cleveland, and got his second...

Well, the Tigers poured that glass of cold water all over Vicente Padilla, didn't they? For the first time this season, and probably not the last, Magglio Ordonez and Miguel Cabrera hit...
View ArticleIs It Possible That The Bullpen Isn't Really That Bad?
I was just turning this possibility over in my mind - is the bullpen possibly not as bad as previously thought? Maybe it's just because the Tigers are putting up high run totals and hitting the shit...

Sorry for the lack of posts this week - finals week tends to cause that sort of thing. However, I'm back home now and I'll be posting daily again starting before tonight's game against the Twins.

I do not like the Metrodome. In fact, I hate the Metrodome. It's a) a dome b) dominated by the Twins c) a ground that seemingly brings out the worst in the Tigers.And so, after a convincing sweep of...
