Bless You Boys

It was a good run. After ripping off seven straight the Tigers went into Kansas City as excited as an Australian Olympic swimming coach. The bengal-striped Icarus that was Detroit baseball flew too close to the Kansas City sun and quickly returned to Earth ending up on the wrong end of a series sweep. Up

Toledo Mud Hens 7, Indianapolis Indians 3 (box) The Hens offense blew up Indy pitching on Sunday to take the series 4-2. And once again, it was Christin Stewart and Aderlin Rodriguez in the thick of things. Rodriguez has been a beast for the Hens all season, but Stewart has been red hot as well.

Ichiro Suzuki once mentioned his favourite English expression involved the description of how hot day games in Kansas City are. (There’s some bleeped NSFW language in that clip.) Well, today in KC was one of those days, and the Tigers certainly felt the heat as they got defeated 6-1, and thus swept by the Royals

Well folks, the Detroit Tigers came into the weekend roaring on a seven-game winning streak but have been reduced to a soft meow over the past two games in Kansas City. Both losses were close ones, with Friday’s night’s matchup ending with a 5-3 score while Saturday night’s tangle saw the Tigers blow a 6-0

The Tigers built a 6-0 lead only to blow it on Friday night in Kansas City. A pair of three-run shots powered the Royals to a 9-8 victory, and a chance at a series sweep on Sunday. Early on, the Tigers looked like they might run away with this one. The Royals didn’t get a

It has been a lot of fun being a Detroit Tigers fan in recent days, especially during the team’s seven-game winning streak coming out of the All-Star break gates. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end, and the aphorism proved true once again on Friday night when the Kansas City Royals handed the Motor

The Tigers were probably due for a game like this. The squander returned with a bit of a vengeance, and one mistake from Wily Peralta put the Royals on top for good as they took the first game of the three game set 5-3. Wily Peralta and lefty Kris Bubic were both pretty good early

It’s safe to say that going into this season both Tigers and Royals fans alike thought the mid-season standings would look a little different than they do today. With the Tigers heading into a weekend series against the Royals, Detroit is fresh off a seven-game winning streak, while the Royals are 4-6 over their last

It’s that time of year, where every early move in a game, every dugout hug, every management mention of a player’s name has fans wondering if they’re about to see a beloved player get moved to a different team. This season is no different, of course, as tight divisional races have some teams on the

After much debate as to whether the Cleveland Baseball Team would select a badass historical moniker (the Spiders was right there you guys), or something new, they made the official announcement of their re-brand on Friday morning with an admittedly pretty great video. Tom Hanks tells us of the spirit and strength of the city

Toledo Mud Hens 7, Indianapolis Indians 2 (box) The Tigers are running very thin on starting pitching depth with the loss of Spencer Turnbull to UCL surgery. Hens starter Drew Hutchison is making a pretty good case to be the next man up. Hutchison didn’t get much run support, and he didn’t need it, allowing

The Tigers were looking for a perfect 7-0 homestand on Thursday afternoon, in the finale of a four-game series against the Rangers. They got it, and the four-game sweep of Texas, with a 7-5 getaway-day victory, remaining the only undefeated post-All-Star Break team in baseball. Tyler Alexander got the start for Detroit, being moved semi-permanently

With Ian Krol making his return to the Tigers last week, it seems like an ideal time to reflect not on Krol, but on the man who the Tigers traded him away for during his last stint with the team. It’s also an intriguing tie-in with the draft happening just last week to focus on

Look we’re trying not to get cocky here, but the Detroit Tigers are injecting a bit of giddiness into the proceedings these days. Rookie starter Matt Manning put together a fine start, the Tigers got homers from Robbie Grossman, Zack Short, and Akil Baddoo, and once again the bullpen locked it down—with a bit of

Tuesday night’s win over the Texas Rangers stretched the Tigers win streak in five in a row. It also highlighted the near complete brand of baseball the club is playing these days. Quality at-bat after quality at-bat, speed on the bases, solid starting pitching, improved defense, timely power and dominant relief work. All of it

Indianapolis Indians 12, Toledo Mud Hens 11 (F/10)(box) Toledo and Indy locked up in a big time slugfest on Tuesday, but it was ultimately the bad guys who walked in off in 10 innings. Ricardo Pinto started for the Hens and was lit up for eight runs in just two innings of work. This after

Game two of a four-game series between the Rangers and Tigers in Detroit was delayed a couple of hours due to thunderstorms in the area. That didn’t matter to the Tigers, though. They won their fifth straight game with a 4-1 victory built on fantastic pitching, good defense, and some solid, but mostly unspectacular, hitting

With the MLB trade deadline less than two weeks out, the Detroit Tigers sit in third place of the AL Central with a better-than-expected 44-51 record. Though they’re 13.5 games out of the division lead and 9.5 behind the second wild card-holding Oakland A’s, the Detroit News’ Chris McCosky reported that GM Al Avila will

The Tigers continue to be a heck of a fun team to watch. The blowout of the Texas Rangers on Monday night aside, we’re closing in on three straight months with the Tigers as an above average team. This despite serious weaknesses in the rotation and lineup, and a defensive unit that until recently had
