Homerdome Hell

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...

Dear Blogosphere

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.

Is 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...

No Review Necessary.

19 runs. On 14 hits. What more is there to say?

Defensive Shakeups And Hot Bats

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...

Back Home

Returning home against the Texas Rangers for a three game series, fresh off of a .500 road trip, Justin Verlander will be toeing the rubber for the Tigers tonight.Interestingly enough, the Tigers have...

Solid.

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...

Back To You In The Studio

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...

Well, 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....

My 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...

Injuries Update

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...

OK, 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),...

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....

Good 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...

Why Fox Sports Net Is Ruining April

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...

Okay, Back To Baseball

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...

Embarrassing, 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...
