Ugh, you know what? I can’t even. I am getting sick and tired of flinging the same fecal matter around over and over again. The Tigers are so out of synch that it’s not even funny except in that grim gallows-humor kind of way. Slow...

This is just a sad, sad story. We have the lovelorn pitcher, Nate Robertson, who pines for the beautiful bats. “Sweet maple snookums,” he says, “don’t you love me? I love you so. I will do such nice things for you. I will...

Finally managed to get photos from the Red Sox/Tigers series up! Thank you, offday. The shot at the top of this post was from the Monday game; that was our view from the luxury box (well, our view as seen through a wide angle lens). The rest of the...

There are only three things I want to talk about that actually pertain to this game. The first is Gary Sheffield doubling off of The Farns, which I found inexplicably hilarious. I don’t even know why. Just, Gary Sheffield! And The Farns! Two...

This was a good win for a lot of reasons, but I have to point out that Todd Jones is clearly trying to kill us all. I know that’s what he does, I KNOW, but HOLY FREAKING CATS, that inning! I cannot believe that inning turned out the way it did....

Yesterday we thought we were getting hamsters. We thought that Placido Polanco had brought us the hamsters we had all been looking for. It turns out that those were false hamsters, or maybe just temporary hamsters, because today it was right back to...

To recap: A few days ago I heard some guy on the radio say, “Jim Leyland doesn’t have any answers.” It sounded like the guy had said, “Jim Leyland doesn’t have any hamsters.” We assumed that this was also true, and...

Wow. So, um. I know that the knuckleball is a tricksy pitch, and I know that most guys on most teams don’t see it all that often and don’t have a good consistent method of approach to it when it’s really knuckling, but, uh…...

It is KILLING me to not be able to show you guys the view I had from my seat tonight yet. I didn’t get a lot of player shots, because we were fairly high up, but ohhhhh the view. Just wait ’til I get back to MA and upload these puppies....

Noms them right up, it does. You can try to tell me that there aren’t any needle-sharp teeth built into that ‘dome, but I won’t believe you, not one bit. Did you see what it did to the Tigers this weekend? It ATE them. It’s...

That’s really all I have to say about this game. I watched the last half of it in a bar with Ian from Bless You Boys (aka blog enemy #1 [blenemy?]) and we made a variety of sad faces, as you can see. Distortion courtesy of my wide angle lens,...

Yesterday you could say that the last time the Detroit Tigers swept the Yankees at Yankee Stadium, it was 1966. I was not even invented yet! (Hell, my parents hadn’t even met yet.) Today you can say that the last time the Tigers swept the...

It’s been a while since I felt good about breaking this one out. It was an old-school Bondo outing in a variety of ways. The first inning was terrible, for one thing: Bondo threw 28 pitches and gave up two runs to start the game off. If we...

Finally, the question we have all had for so long (Why is Jason Grilli on this team?) has been answered (He’s not). Jason Grilli has been traded to the Colorado Rockies for Zachary Simons, an A-level relief pitcher. THANK CATS. Far be it...

Not everyone had a great day in New York. Guillen, Edgah, and Jacque Jones all failed to get a hit. But don’t tell Phil Hughes that; he’ll laugh in your face (a crazed, hysterical kind of laughter) and start gibbering about the big scary...
