RIP Ernie Harwell
We lost another great old guard sportscaster yesterday in Ernie Harwell. He called games for the Detroit Tigers on radio and TV for 42 years and has already been inducted into numerous Halls of Fame. He'll be remembered for his trademark calls: "That one is LONG gone", "It's two for the price of...
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,...

Thanks, Ernie

Just Enough Gets It Done: Tigers 4, Royals 3
I think Adam Everett said it best in his post-game remarks: ""That’s just the way we’ve played games all year." Sure, there have been some games where the Detroit Tigers won with dominating starting pitching and formidable hitting. But those occasions have been rare. (And that's why...
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...
