When you score 11 runs you are supposed to win the ball game. Tonight the Tigers did not win.
I would love to hate on Todd Jones after this his fourth blown save. He didn’t have his good stuff this eve; not even close. What is more worrisome is that it was obvious that he [...]

Summary
Break out the brooms once again! Verlander and the Tigers held off the defending champs (though they aren’t living up to the ‘defending’ part) once again to pick up the sweep. Detroit’s offense showed their power once again and scored six runs on nine hits including 3 doubles, a triple and a home run.

Summary
Nate Robertson needed and received run support today in a game that started out seeming as if it would be a drudging like last nights game. This proved to not be true as St. Louis fought back driving Robertson from the game and successfully attacking the Tiger bullpen.
Detroit offense didn’t let up and a [...]

Summary
Well the losing streak, if you want to call it that, didn’t last long as the Tigers blasted their way to a win against the slumping Cardinals. Detroit’s offense pounded away inning after inning including a 9-spot in the 5th inning batting around on one out.
The offense overshadowed the excellent pitching by Andrew Miller [...]

Summary
Tigers will walk away from this road-trip with a losing record going 3-4 and their first series lost in quite some time. For the second game of Today’s double-header the Tigers sent Chad Durbin to the mound who, while not pitching his best, held the Red Sox back enough to give Detroit a large [...]

Summary
Boston took the first game of a day-night doubleheader with their starter Julian Tavarez pretty much stopping the Detroit offense. Zach Miner, who made the emergency start with Mike Maroth ill, pitched an excellent game as well but ultimately coming up a bit short.
Very good game to watch however disappointing that the offense couldn’t [...]

I only caught the last inning of this one unfortunately due to travel and with the storm AM 1270 was all static for me and 97.1 was covering the Wings. I guess it just wasn’t meant to be but because of that I won’t give my normal breakout. Reading over the box score a [...]

Summary
For the second straight game the Tigers struggled to get hits this time against Boston’s Daisuke Matsuzaka. Nate Robertson was the Tiger starter who, while giving up a number of hits (11), kept Detroit in the ball game. Nate pitched pretty solidly but Boston’s powerful offense just wouldn’t roll over and stayed in for [...]

Summary
This one really got away from Detroit pretty early on. In Virgil Vasquez’s first start in the bigs he lacked confidence and control but the game really was lost in the bullpen’s inability to stop the bleeding. Between Grilli and Ledezma the game slipped away because the offense was bringing in runs and getting [...]

Summary
Tigers got a big win today on national TV. Their success in 2006 on nationally televised games (other than the playoffs) was not good and if I remember correctly they did not win a single one. Well that ended today which made all that much more disappointing when I read that this game wasn’t [...]

Box Score
Summary
Mike Maroth vs Johan Santana round two was significantly better than I had expected. The first time these two met they pitched to a draw with Todd Jones gaining the win on a Brandon Inge home run during the ninth. This matchup game was just as good with both pitchers doing an excellent job [...]
