Just wondering who the Tigers call up when Gary Sheffield goes on the DL. I see where Mike Hessman is doing well(.307,18HR, 31 RBI in 40 games) and Jeff Larrish ( .278, 11 HR, 33 RBI in 41 games ). In m

Let's see who can come up with the best line that will give the true-blue, never-say-die fans some hope for the rest of the season.
Any phrase that includes the words "turn it around" will not be allowed.

Why is this guy still our pitching coach? Does no one else feel like this is getting out of control. Every pitcher he touches, gets worse, Verlander, Robertson and Bonderman have all gotten worse, Rodney can't even throw and we have not had one fixture in the bullpen. Lee Mazzone is somewhere on a rocking chair in Georgia having had one of the best track records with pitcher

Wow the Tigers just got swept by the Royals... AGAIN! What is up with this? You can't just falt the pitching, which has been terrible. But the hitting and not coming up with timely hits. Sure, the Tigers have hit plenty of homers this year. But it seems lik

For the record, since the 2006 start of 70 - 30, the Tigers, overall, are at 129 - 137. That's 8 games under .500 in almost two full seasons.
If you look back at that point, in 2006, before things started to unravel, we had Chris Shelton at fi

The butterflies and rainbow fans will be around for awhile....telling each other how the Tigers are just about ready to turn things around. We will be told for the 888th time that it is a long season and anything can happen. Then in early June, the Piston and Red Wing fans wil

Tiger pitcher Luis Marte ( whom I pointed out as a key to the future rotation ) has been promoted from A Lakeland to AA Erie over Rick Porcello. Marte ( 1.98 ERA, 41K,11BB at Class A ) will take over for Josh Rainwater who is going on the DL. It will be interesting to see how he fares as the pitchers at AA Erie have been for th

If the Tigers don't turn it around by game 55 they might as well trade all the high priced garbage and go for the first pick in the draft and bring up the rookies as the players they have now don't care if they win or loss, they got their money. As for the coaches, is it what they are coaching or are they

Why in the hell is this guy still closing for us...is it me or does he ever go 1,2,3. Always loads the bases and then gets lucky...unbelievable, sitting there watching a 6-2 lead go to 6-5 and the tying run on base...I was ready to break my tv. I think it is time to put Cruceta in there.

I dont think I have ever seen so much in one place. Iffy your head must be the size of a a parade float. To be able to get that much hot air to come out all in one palce.

Yet another start by Justin Verlander in which he leaves the game with a big fat 0 on the run side for the Tigers. For the fifth game in his nine starts Justin Verlander departed the game with no runs from his offense. That is just pathetic.
