PREGAME: Those of you who believe in momentum may have had your beliefs shaken after yesterday's gut-wrencher. Armando Galarraga faces the one team that he seems to struggle the most with, the Twins. He's managed to last 6 innings in each of his starts, but his 10:8 K:BB ratio in 18 innings [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Game 92: Tigers at Twins", url: "http://www.detroittigersweblog.com/2008/07/game-92-tigers-at-twins-2/" });

July 11, 2008
As Yankee Stadium begins its final months of use, including hosting its final All Star game, there will be a lot of reflection of the great moments not just in baseball, but in sports that have taken place in one of sports' greatest stages. From Don Larsen's perfect game to the 1958 NFL Championship dubbed the greatest game ever when the Baltimore Colts defeated the N.Y. Giants...

Todd Jones Blowing More Than Saves
Todd "Hammer" Jones (we aren't sure how official that nickname is, but we heard it once and think it's perfect) was unable to close the game out for the Detroit Tigers, which eventually led to a 7-6, 11th inning loss to Minnesota. Besides the obvious ill-effects it had on the win-loss column, his inadequacies on the mound had an even greater reach. Chuck Douglas...
Liriano Watch — Take 1
To all those on the South Side of Chicago, and even those that live in the Twin Cities area but (for reasons unknown) choose to cheer for the Pale Hose — if Minnesota didn't have your attention before — they better now.
Francisco Liriano's last two starts at AAA Rochester have resulted in a pair of [...]
Rich Harden’s Velocity
It seemed that one report about Harden's decreased velocity in his last start (July 6th) was picked up and reported by everyone who, you know, reports. My first instinct was to actually check it out as I did and found that the velocity in his last start was actually slightly higher than his season average. But since he's now a Cub and we're sure to watch these kinds of things...

The Tigers officially announced the signing of first round draft pick Ryan Perry yesterday. In the conference call there was discussion about what Perry's next steps are as well as his role.
Earlier reports indicated that Perry would likely be a September call-up. However, David Chadd indicated that wasn't really a consideration [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "The plans for...

Is Livan Hernandez Who We Thought He Was?
Andrew Kneeland breaks down Livan Hernandez from a statistical standpoint and wonders aloud if he is the same pitcher that the Twins bought this past off-season.
Span Should Be Here to Stay
Denard Span was supposed to be the center fielder that took over after Torii Hunter's departure before Carlos Gomez decided to intervene. Span found himself in the minors, again but after ripping it up at AAA Rochester (.340 and 15 steals in 40 games) has come up to replace an injured and disappointing Michael [...]

Age catching up to Jones
It looks like father time is starting to catch up to Detroit Tigers closer Todd Jones. Manager Jim Leyland has recently said that he plans on cutting the work load of the 40-year old pitcher. To many this is no surprise, Jones has never been a great closer but he has been pretty effective usually getting the job done, but over the past four seasons we've seen his ERA go on a steady...

PREGAME: If you're a believer in momentum you have to like this series for the Tigers. The Tigers make a 6 run come back for a walk-off win and the Twins were swept by the Red Sox with an 18-5 loss to finish the series.

I was fortunate enough to meet Ernie Harwell on his first farewell tour of major league baseball parks. Interleague play had created one of those harmonic convergences in the schedule where the Tigers got to come to Atlanta and play the Braves.
Of course, being in local television at the time I absolutely, positively, without remorse or hesitation had to have him for a feature...
