Game 2013.36: Astros at Tigers
Detroit Tigers: 20-15, 2nd Place (.5 behind Cleveland)
The Tigers slipped down into 2nd place after losing 2-of-3 to the Cleveland Native Americans, and even though they didn’t win the series there were some things to like about how they played (and things not to like).
The big news for today though, is that the Tigers put center fielder Austin Jackson on the 15-Day DL with a sore...
Former Patriots, Saints CB Randall Gay Arrested In Louisiana
Former Patriots cornerback Randall J. Gay has been arrested after he allegedly pushed two employees at a Baton Rouge bar and refused to leave, the Associated Press reports.
Police Lt. Don Kelly says Gay was booked Thursday with entering/remaining on premises after being forbidden, two counts of simple battery, resisting an officer and disturbing the peace by public intoxication...
Game 2013.29: Tigers at Astros
Again it didn’t come easy, but the Tigers are right where they wanted to be, taking the first two games of the four-game series with the struggling Astros, thanks partly to contributions by the slumping Alex Avila and by everyone’s favorite bench donkey, Don Kelly (his working a 1-2 count into a walk ahead of Avila’s home run was one of the subtle plays of the game).
Tonight...
Tigers 4, Astros 3
Alex Avila hit a two-run home run in the ninth inning, lifting the Detroit Tigers to a 4-3 win over the Houston Astros on Friday night.
After Houston closer Jose Veras walked Don Kelly to open the inning, Avila hit a 3-1 pitch to deep center field and help the Tigers get their second straight win.
Jose Altuve's RBI single in the seventh inning capped a three-run rally and gave...
Game 2013.28: Tigers at Astros
Surprisingly, last night turned out well, thanks mostly to a career performance by The Pride of Butler, PA, Don “The Donkey” Kelly.
As expected, the game turned into a strikeout duel, with Rick Porcello doing more than expected, and the Tiger hitters a little less so.
The key play of the game could have easily turned out to be Tuiasosopo being thrown at at home in the 11th....
Tigers 7, Astros 3(14)
When Detroit's Don Kelly watched Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder take consecutive intentional walks to load the bases in the 14th inning, he wasn't surprised.
He also knew it set up a great chance for him to end this marathon game.
Kelly took advantage of it, singling in the go-ahead run to start a four-run 14th inning and the Tigers beat the Houston Astros 7-3 Thursday...
TDSS Tigers Recap, Game 27: Don Kelly Saves the Day in Extra Innings
The Detroit Tigers badly needed a clutch hit Thursday night, and they finally got it from the unlikeliest of sources. Don Kelly delivered the eventual game-winning RBI single in the top of the 14th, staking the Tigers to a 4-3 lead on the host Houston Astros. Matt Tuiasosopo then piled on with a two-run double and Jhonny Peralta added a sac fly to give Detroit its 7-3 victory.

Game 2013.26: Twins at Tigers
15-11, in first place and leading K.C. by half a game still, and the win streak is at 5 games and counting. Anibal Sanchez got this thing rolling with a career outing against the Braves last Friday, and while we won’t see 17 strikeouts from him today, we might see a more subtle masterpiece here in his second 2013 outing vs. the Twins. Such as a no-hitter, for example. Just a suggestion...

Game 2013.15: Tigers at Mariners
9-5, 1st place, 1 game up.
Nice work, friends. Based on this morning’s chatter, there are a lot of tired DTW guys today.
On a night when more Tigers donned a golden sombrero (4) than crossed home plate (2), a Brayan Pena out, his 5th of the night, brought home Don Kelly (pinch running for VMart) in the top of the 14th for what would prove to be the winning run. Though not without...
Web Gems Of The Week: An Utley original, Longoria is lazy, Gomez & Kelly are thiefs
Maybe not the best play of the week, but I was most amazed by this Chase Utley knee-spin thingy.
Not sure I’ve ever seen that before, honestly.
Evan Longoria is lazy and just throws sitting down.
Carlos Gomez and Don Kelly both rob clear homers.
Leury Garcia with a bizarre play thanks to a shift.
I’m more impressed by shortstops making the type of play that Marwin Gonzalez...
Tigers Broken Hearted Outfielder Quintin Berry, Still a Class Act
On March 26 Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland cut speedy outfielder Quintin Berry. According to Jason Beck of mlb.com, Leyland described the decision as the best fit for the Tigers, at this particular time.
Berry who was called up early last season, sparked the Tigers offense with his base stealing ability. He played a total of 94 games for the Tigers and stole 21 bases out of 21...
Game 2013.10: Tigers at A’s
Yes, the game post picture is a mite creepy. But then again, it is a 10:00 pm EST game, and creepiness is thematically apt.
Whenever the Tigers play at Oakland, there are three unavoidable questions that come to mind: 1) Will anyone stay up late enough to watch? 2) Who named O.co Coliseum, and how much would it cost to rename it? And what civil or criminal remedies are available...
Don Kelly robbed a home run
Not one of those jumping grabs at the track on a ball that would have pretty clearly only bounced off the wall, but most people still claim was a robbed home run; this is a legitimate home run ball taken away by Jim Leyland's favorite little leaguer, Donald Kelly.
Kelly's 155-pound frame was then boss-tossed to the ground by Comerica Park's bendy bully fence.

Help Todd Frazier avenge Brandon Phillips
It's time for more web gems. Yesterday you saw a great defensive play by Brandon Phillips face an amazing leaping catch at the wall by Don Kelly of the Tigers. Kelly was able to overtake the 4-time reigning web gem through fan voting. Today however, Todd Frazier has shown up to avenge the loss by Phillips and reclaim glory for Cincinnati.
Frazier came up with his own nice...
Was Don Kelly's web gem better than that of Brandon Phillips?
Detroit Tigers left fielder Don Kelly made an outstanding leaping grab at the wall, but was it better than the web gem Brandon Phillips gave us?
Going...Going...Not Gone: Catch of the Day by Detroit Tigers Utility Man Don Kelly
It was a banner day for the Detroit Tigers. They won the game over the Blue Jays, 7-3. Newcomer TOri Hunter had his 2000th hit of his career. Miguel Cabrera couldn't miss; he went 4-5 with a home run and 4 RBIs.
However, as impressive as their play was my play of the day has to go to Don Kelly.
If you said who that's okay. Every team has a guy like Kelly. He'...

Tigers' Kelly robs Blue Jays of a home run
DETROIT Don Kelly probably wasn't even supposed to start Tuesday's game but he ended up making the play of the game.
Hot-hitting Blue Jays catcher J.P. Arencibia led off the second inning and absolutely smoked one of Anibal Sanchez's pitches. It was headed out of the park -- until Kelly leaped and brought it back in.
"I didn't know how far it was going to...
