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. [...]

Last week had an SEC emphasis and things went well. How can you ignore the best conference? This week, I diversify a bit.Maryland (+11) over CLEMSON - The mercurial Terps seem to play up to their opposition. If they show up, they definitely can compete with the Tigers and their young offensive line. NC State played well in Death Valley a couple weeks ago, and I think the Terps...

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...
Todd Jones Retires
Tigers reliever Todd Jones has announced his retirement. Jones was 4-1 with a 4.97 ERA with 18 SV this season before he finally decided to call it quits: "So this is it. If you're a Tigers fan, I'll never stress you out again. If you're not a Tigers fan, you'll never have me as your ace in the hole, convinced I'll blow a lead against your team." What a way to go out for some who...

September 23, 2008
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.

It's really not all that surprising, but Todd Jones has announced his retirement. This was likely to be Jones last season regardless, but the injury and resulting ineffectiveness likely sealed the deal.
Jones is the Tigers all time saves leader and his 319 career saves places him 14th in the history of the game.
