PREGAME: The battle for last place is underway. The Tigers have a 2 game lead, that could evaporate if they keep playing their current brand of baseball.
The Tigers send out Zach Miner, who can thank the Royals for being a large part of his success as a starter. In 3 starts [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Game 155: Royals at Tigers", url: "http://www.detroittigersweblog.com/2008/09/game-155-royals-at-tigers-2/" });

George Brett and that time at the Bellagio
George Brett, the former Kansas City Royals' star, is most widely remembered for his 'Pine Tar incident'. But that could change once you see this video.

What Does That Even Mean?
"The days of babysitting and milking along are over."
- Quoth, Smokin' Jim Leyland
Can anyone explain to me what in the hell he's talking about? What kind of an old coot rants about babysitting and milking? In fact, who's been getting babysat and milked? Certainly not Justin Verlander, who throws something like 300 pitches per outing. [...]
Detroit Tigers History Vol. 2: Li'l Rastus
A little over two months ago Detroit City Councilwoman Barbara Rose-Collins created a mini-controversy when she stated that she wasn't sympathetic towards the efforts to save Tiger Stadium because of her childhood memories of the racist history of baseball at large and more specifically the steadfast refusal of former team owner and horseless carriage magnate Walter Briggs to...

Who doesn't love a good brawl especially when it deals with two heavyweights like Gary Sheffield and Fausto Carmona. The Cleveland Indians pitcher beaned Sheffield, who was none too please. Tensions were high and then exploded as Sheff charged the mound, was put in a headlock and repeatedly hit on top of his head by Carmona. I expected more out of Gary!

PREGAME: It will be Zach Grienke and Freddy Garcia. The two pitchers combined to allow 1 run in 12 innings their last times out. I'm going to this one, and my track record isn't good, so I don't have high hopes.

Remember this is all about Quality Wins and Bad Losses so if you lose to a top ranked team its not going to kill you, if you lose to Arkansas St. in the opener it will haunt you the entire season.

Tigers radio announcer Dan Dickerson has experienced the misery of this season up close. Probably to up close. What makes him a professional is that when the Tigers surrender a late inning homer to blow a lead, or a game, he doesn't get to swear like the rest of us do. I [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Back breakers", url: "http://www.detroittigersweblog.com...

Willis to Boston?
According to Jon Paul Morosi, the Tigers will look to trade one of their pitchers this offseason and will eye a shortstop in return. He points out that the Red Sox want to unload Julio Lugo to make room for Jed Lowrie, a new fan favorite and potential long term replacement at shortstop. If the Red Sox were to trade Lugo for Willis, both of whom are locked up through 2010, they would...

You PECOTA Be S#!tting Me
For some bizarre reason the PECOTA rankings are one of the most respected preseason prediction rankings in baseball. These rankings are designed and formulated by former Royals utility infielder Bill Pecota, who spends each offseason compiling rankings for every player on every team, all from the comfort of his mother's basement, assisted only by [...]
