Pudge traded to Yankees for Farnsworth

This is just a sign of how desperate the Tigers are for decent pitching. They’ve traded away one of their best, most loyal players — Pudge Rodriguez — for a relief pitcher who likely may not have the skills we need to provide much relief. I think it is a shame to see Pudge gone [...]

Tigers come from behind again, now two games over .500

The Tigers continue to impress me. There’s something about the way this team has not given up, and the way they don’t give up when games are almost out of reach. Forget all the talk about whether they can dig themselves out of the hole they dug early in the season ad enjoy this ride [...]

Jeremy Bonderman has been perfect, giving the Yankees very little to work with (Jeter’s out and so is Jeremy, hang on folks). And the hitting has [...]

5 reasons the Tigers will continue to suck

Here is my take on the logic out there that is telling us that the Tigers will be lucky to finish at .500. I don’t know if I believe all of it, but this is what I’m hearing: 1. Problems in the locker room Does Leyland’s rant signal that he’s already lost the team? 2. [...]
