Syracuse 2 Toledo 5Joel Zumaya pitched 1 inning, allowing 2 hits and an unearned run, but he walked no one and fanned 2. Clete Thomas is playing again and was a triple short of the cycle with 2 stolen bases so the ankle is probably okay. Chris Lambert fanned 6 in 6 innings [...]

Tuesday's Donkey of the Day is....

Detroit Manager Jim Leyland. With 2 on, 1 out in the bottom of the 8th, he brings in Fernando freakin Rodney who hadn't made a single pitch all season... Way to "ease him in" skip

Marcus Thames: HR Machine

If you haven't noticed by now, Tigers OFer Marcus Thames is on fire. His last 7 hits have all been homers and he's now up to 12 HRs in just 113 ABs. This follows an 18 HR performance in 269 ABs last year and 26 HRs in 348 ABs in 2006. That's a total of 56 HRs in 730 ABs the last 3 years, or a HR every 13 ABs and a 46 HR pace over 600 at-bats.

The Edgar Defense

When the 2007 season came to a close the Tigers had a top priority on their to-do list and that was to get a shortstop. Carlos Guillen's knees and inconsistency making the routine play had dictated a move across the diamond to first base. So Dave Dombrowski moved swiftly to upgrade the infield [...]

Ramblings on Sheff's rehab

With Gary Sheffield beginning his rehab assignment I've heard quite a bit from Tigers fans that are actually concerned that Sheffield is coming back. Sheffield and his struggles have been received a considerable portion of the blame for the Tigers struggles. Now that the team is playing better and Sheffield isn't around, people [...]

Game 70: Tigers at Giants

PREGAME: Once upon a time there was a surging team coming off of back to back series sweeps. They went on the road to play a team that many had given up for dead and who had just dropped 5 of 7. That surging team was swept and went on to lose [...]

Clete for Clevlen

Clete Thomas has been recalled from his rehab assignment. It has come at the expense of Brent Clevlen. Clevlen didn't get the bat going, but he did play some slick defense in the outfield. Clevlen and Thomas are probably a push defensively, but Thomas carries a left handed stick which is probably [...]

Head west young man

Joel Zumaya's rehab assignment is finished. He was to throw for the Mud Hens today so he could work in back to back games, but they opted for a bullpen session instead of the noon start. Following the 14 pitch session Zumaya was on his way to the airport to meet the team [...]
