Cubs Lose A Game. Baseball Loses A Giant, Ernie Harwell
How much is there to say about the Cubs' 3-2 loss to the Pirates last night that hasn't already been said many times this year? (And for once, you can't blame the bullpen.) The Cubs left 12 men on base, including RISP in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th and 7th innings -- five men left on in the first two...
Evening Prowl: Voting Verlander, Ernie Harwell, and Granderson's Hitting
MLive.com's Steve Kornacki was the one voter who put Justin Verlander on the top of his AL Cy Young Award ballot. (25 went to the winner, K.C.'s Zack Greinke, with two going to Seattle's Felix Hernandez.) Kornacki based his vote on Verlander showing toughness under pennant race pressure,...

In today's Detroit Free Press, Rochelle Riley writes about a grass-roots campaign to add Ernie Harwell's name to Comerica Park. The effort was started online (via Facebook) by a Michigan firefighter. The website makes it sound as if the campaign is to get Comerica Park's name changed to Ernie...

Just Enough Gets It Done: Tigers 4, Royals 3

Ernie Harwell's Thank You Speech
In addition to Ernie Harwell's speech, the Detroit Tigers' official website also has the video tribute that played on the Comerica Park scoreboard before he took the field. It's late, so we'll have more thoughts to share tomorrow. But what I will say is that being in that ballpark tonight during...

Ernie Harwell Diagnosed with Cancer
Suddenly, this Detroit Tigers season has become bittersweet. Legendary broadcaster Ernie Harwell - for so many of us, the voice of the Tigers - has been diagnosed with cancer. The Detroit Free Press reported last night that Harwell has a tumor in his bile duct, an incurable malady. At the age of...
Morning Prowl: Lyon Gets Love, Inge's Fill-In, Unsigned Draft Picks, and Cabrera's RBIs
With today's off-day giving us a chance to take a breath, there's also a chance to reflect. Mack Avenue Tigers takes the opportunity to look at Brandon Lyon, and how well he's pitched over the past three months. How well? He has a 1.34 ERA since May 13, and hasn't allowed a run since the...
