The Tribe is Swept Again: Tigers 6, Indians 5
If you looked at the pitching match-up before this game and thought, "Well, Justin Verlander should pitch better than Carlos Carrasco, so the Tigers ought to beat the Indians," you'd have been exactly...
Rake By the Lake: Tigers 11, Indians 3
Lloyd McClendon will probably put this game on his coaching resume, don't you think? And maybe some of us were a bit hard on Carlos Guillen. (Yes, I am looking at me.) After enduring quite a few...
Squeeze Out Another Win: Tigers 3, Indians 1
On paper (and in the boxscore), this one almost looked pretty. Edwin Jackson pitched seven shutout innings, and the Detroit Tigers' lineup provided just enough offense with three runs. Look a bi...

In my three years of writing for Bless You Boys, I've been pretty hard on Nate Robertson. But with a combined record of 16-24 and a 5.55 ERA in 2007 and 2008, along with losing his spot in the r...
Attack of the Metrodome: Twins 6, Tigers 2

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 dominatin...
A Royal Flogging: Royals 11, Tigers 1
The less said about this, the better. Tonight's game was a disaster for the Detroit Tigers from the start. How would Jarrod Washburn fare after skipping his last start to rest his aching left kn...
Are You Loving This Yet? Tigers 6, Blue Jays 5
No matter how this season ultimately ends for the Detroit Tigers, you can't say it wasn't a fun ride. Sure, there have been some bad stretches, the kind that make you wonder whether you should r...
