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://www.detroittigersweblog.com/2008/08/daily-linking-826/" });

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...
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"...
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. Namely, its mistakes. Rogers, who once threw a cameraman to the ground for having the temerity to, yes, videotape him, also said the rush to [...]
Daily Haze: The Summer Olympics are over
Let the football begin.
With the Summer Olympics out of the way, football season — regular season, also known as real football — now is upon us all. College games get kicked off this weekend, highlighted for me by the LSU - Appalachian State game on Saturday. Geaux Tigers!
But the Olympics were fun to watch, with [...]
And that will close the book on Todd Jones
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"...
Tigers Trading Players
The Tigers, who have arguably disappointed everyone in baseball, are looking to open up some payroll by trading Magglio Ordonez and Placido Polanco. Both players have a couple good years left and haven't shown any signs of slowing down. Polanco is hitting .316 with 7 HR while Ordonez is hitting .311 with 15 HR. Both players would land two or three prospects for the Tigers while...
Game 131: Indians at Tigers
PREGAME: In March when I bought tickets to this game, I thought it would be huge. To teams jockeying for position in the AL Central. And boy was I right. The surging Indians, winners of 14 of their last 20, are only 1.5 games back of the third place Tigers. Sigh.
Anywho, [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Game 131: Indians at Tigers", url: "http://www.detroittigersweblog...
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.
