This time it was Luke Hochevar who made the Tigers look feeble at the plate.  The end result is the Tigers third straight loss and it’s their ninth loss in eleven games since sweeping the Yankees in the Bronx a couple of weeks ago.  The Tigers...

The Tigers are 16-23 with just one game left to the quarter point of the season.  The Tigers got their share of base runners with nine hits and four walks but they hit into two double plays and they stranded nine men.  Matt Joyce belted his second...

The Tigers game was one of three in the midwest (as well as several minor league games) to get rained out today.  No replacement date has been set.  Too bad the Yankees didn’t have the day off tomorrow like the Tigers or they could have made it...

The Tigers lost two different four runs leads and needed to come back in the ninth inning against Jonathan Papelbon to end their five game losing streak tonight.  The game winning hit was a texas league single off the bat of Placido Polanco and it...

Tim Wakefield had a pretty good start, huh?  The Tigers were held to a mere three hits in their 5-0 loss to the Red Sox and they made Tim Wakefield look like a Cy Young candidate.  Unlike last night, they didn’t even get the walks to go with the..

It seems like it’s feast or famine for this year’s Tigers and at least the last four games, it’s been a famine.  The Tigers followed up nine walks with just three hits and the end result was eleven men left on base in a 6-3 loss to...

The Jacque Jones era ended with a whimper today as the Tigers designated him for assignment after a tough first month to the season.  He was hitting a tepid .165/.244/.253 and with the lack of power, the Tigers must have felt it was time to cut bait. .

What a nice start.  Curtis Granderson led off the game with his fifth homerun of the season and then the first five Tigers who came up to bat all came around to score in a six run first inning.  Kenny Rogers was given a six run lead but unfortunately,..

The Tigers swept the Yankees.  I missed how long it’s been, but I thought they said the last time the Tigers swept the Yankees in Yankee Stadium was some time in the 1950s.  This game didn’t get off to a good start though.  Nate Robertson..

The Tigers took their second straight game over the Yankees tonight in a 6-2 win and Placido Polanco drove home two of the Tigers six runs on a pair of solo homers.  Marcus Thames also went yard and he belted his second homer of the season, a two run...

Baseball fans will have something to do Tuesday night when the Detroit Public Library holds their third annual Ernie Harwell Collection Baseball History Symposium.  You’ll get two interesting speakers including former major league pitcher Bill...

The top four spots in the lineup accounted for eight of the Tigers eleven hits and they both drove in and scored all six runs in a 6-4 win over the Yankees.  Placido Polanco had a team high four hits and he drove in one and scored twice.  Curtis...

Be sure to check out Billfer of Detroit Tigers Weblog fame on WDET 101.9 this morning.  He’ll be on around 11 am for a bloggers roundtable with a few other Detroit area bloggers you might recognize.

Justin Verlander and Jared Weaver appeared to be locked into a solid pitching duel but that last just three innings until the Angels got to Verlander.  A run in the fourth, a run in the fifth and then three more in the sixth did Verlander in and he...

It was a long but very interesting weekend with the SABR Detroit Chaper’s Baseball Race and Integration Symposium.  I learned a ton about the Negro Leagues as well as baseball in the 1950s and 1960s.  Deacon Jones joined us for the bus tour and...
