Great game and this looks to be a terrific series. Tigers had a rally that fell one run short after a ninth inning double play. S.F. 4, Detroit 3: Tigers run out of comebacks, fall to Giants | Detroit Free Press | freep.com.

Tigers trade nearly perfect Galarraga to Diamondbacks
January 25, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Armando Galarraga, who will forever be known in Tigers history as “the guy who was cheated out of a perfect game but didn’t have a tantrum about it,” was unceremoniously traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks yesterday. Arizona acquired Galarraga for minor-league pitchers Kevin Eichorn and Ryan Robowski. Aside from his nearly perfect game, blown by [...]

Ordonez has only managed two home runs and 22 RBIs this season. None of the reports of the [...]

Thought I’d share the Yahoo! Sports Team Report on the Tigers today. While I haven’t been covering the Tigers much, they’re certainly outperforming last year’s underperformance. Yahoo! is fortunately not on the “this is 2006″ bandwagon that’s starting to appear in the local media. Hey, I know we all need a good pick-me-up right now [...]

Mark Fidrych, a Massachusetts native who electrified Major League Baseball in 1976, died in an apparent accident on his farm in Northborough, Mass. There’s coverage about The Bird all over the web today and I won’t go into a recap of that. Check out this 1985 video instead. I think it captures Bird’s unique spirit [...]
Opening Day brings questions about Tigers pitching to mind
April 10, 2009 By Leave a Comment
To be honest, I haven’t given much thought to the Tigers in the past few weeks. Spring training has never interested me. And with a wealth of basketball and hockey in March, it just seems a little early in the year to be thinking of baseball. Isn’t baseball something we should be paying attention to [...]
