It is looking more and more like Todd Jones has thrown his last pitch. He was with the team the past couple days, but the shoulder isn't getting better and he is headed home to Alabama.
Jones called a team meeting before the Tigers went out on the field for batting practice and, with hugs, [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "And that will close the book on Todd Jones", url: "http://www.detroittigersweblog.com/2008/08/and-that-will-close-the-book-on-todd-jones/" });

Daily Linking - 8/26
Links of note, or stuff I find interesting, or stuff I think you might find interesting
Tigers to try Larish at third - Jeff Larish heads to the Arizona Fall League to work on fielding the hot corner. Smart move since he's effectively blocked at first base. At the very least maybe he increases [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Daily Linking - 8/26", url: "http...
Guillen's back=not good
Carlos Guillen continues to battle back problems, and the situation doesn't sound good. He's experiencing numbness in his right leg and soreness in both hamstrings. Hopefully the Tigers take it easy with Guillen, and Guillen takes it easy as well. If there is a silver lining it's that the injury may give [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Guillen's back=not good", url: "http:/...
Tigers heading to Arizona
The Tigers announced the bulk of their Arizona Fall League representatives. They are sending Luis Marte, Rudy Darrow, Casey Fien, Zach Simons, Jeff Larish, and Clete Thomas.
Luis Marte is a nice selection. He emerged earlier this year as a rising prospect, but lost a chunk of the year to injury. This gives [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Tigers heading to Arizona", url: "http...
Kenny Rogers: Mistakes are what make baseball beautiful
Tigers pitcher Kenny Rogers, continuing his public war against videotape equipment, said in an ESPN.com article that the use of instant replay takes away from the beauty of the game.

The Quest For .500, and 2009
There's not much to root for these days if you're a Tigers fan. With the team having fallen out of playoff contention a couple of weeks ago, the only thing left, I suppose, is to hope they can make it to .500 on the season, and to figure out what this team will look like [...]
Big Ten week 1 preview
Since I've hit two years here I think I will start a new feature. This came about from seeing it on other blogs and seeing its success when I tried it during the NCAA tournament. On game day mornings I will post an open thread entry and open up the comments section for live game discussion. I'll only be able to participate for some of the road games, but I am going to work on trying...
Game 133: Indians at Tigers
PREGAME: Please Tigers. Please show up tonight. Please Verlander, don't crap out once again against an Indians team missing Hafner, Martinez, and Blake. Please offense, beat the stuffing out of Carmona. Please top of the order, drive in a run, or 12. I can't take the sucking anymore.

Game 131: Indians at Tigers
PREGAME: I'm watching this one from the friendly confines of my couch, so the Tigers have a chance. On paper, this isn't a good match-up for the Tigers. Then again on paper the Tigers looked like contenders.
The Indians send out uber pitcher and Cy Young (and maybe MVP) front runner Cliff Lee. [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Game 131: Indians at Tigers", url: "http://www.detroittigersweblog...
