Tigers Lose With Valor in 12th Inning, 6-5
It was a five-hour thrill ride. 12 innings of emotion. And there is so much to process from this game. There were heroes and goats. Fielding excellence and defensive incompetence. Clutch hitting, and failure to produce when it counted. There was plenty of redemption. And several players went...
Tigers Win! Game 162 Afterglow
At the very least, there will be bonus baseball Tuesday evening at the Metrodome. The Detroit Tigers won the game they had to win, with Justin Verlander pitching the game his team desperately needed. For seven innings, he allowed only two hits and no runs. And somebody in the Detroit dugout...
Tigers Win! Game 157 Afterglow
It's just never easy, is it? Why even bother thinking it could be? The Tigers built a 5-0 lead behind two-run doubles from Magglio Ordonez and Brandon Inge, and a fierce effort from Justin Verlander. But you knew the Twins had a rally in them. Because they never go away. Minnesota chipped away...
Game 156: Twins @ Tigers -- POSTPONED
Sorry, folks. Tonight's opener between the Tigers and Twins has been postponed. The weather has been cold, windy, and rainy all day in southeastern Michigan (and throughout the state). So the chances of playing tonight's game never looked all that good. At least they got in the pre-game ceremony...
Tigers Lose: Game 155 Shame
I suppose the Gods of Sports Justice weren't going to allow both the Lions and the Tigers to win for Detroit on the same day. And really, the Lions beating the Redskins probably used up all the good juju in the bottle. The White Sox took a 4-2 lead with a three-run sixth inning, but the game...
Tigers Win! Game 154 Afterglow
How often does a game turn around like that? The Tigers fell behind 5-0 after four innings, and it was looking bleak. Nate Robertson was looking like the pitcher we all feared he really was. And when was this team going to score a run again? But then something clicked. Detroit began to chip...
Tigers Win! Game 158 Afterglow
The Tigers proved they can beat Carl Pavano, after all. Magglio Ordonez and Brandon Inge continued their hot hitting, combining to drive in five of Detroit's seven runs. Seven runs matches the total Pavano had allowed to the Tigers in his five previous starts against them this season, by the...
Tigers Win! Game 152 Afterglow
Fernando Rodney gave us another suspenseful ninth inning, giving up a two-run homer to Shin-Soo Choo, and putting the tying run on base. ("Can you hear the drums, Fernando" seems particularly appropriate in Cleveland.) But Brandon Inge speared a soft liner by Jhonny Peralta to close this one out,...
Tigers Win! Game 151 Afterglow
Things that go "Boom!" in the night? Tonight, it was the Detroit Tigers' bats. The road team was swingin' in Cleveland. Everyone in the starting lineup got a hit. Carlos Guillen homered from both sides of the plate. And Justin Masterson probably has tire tracks (or should that be Tiger tracks?)...
Tigers Win! Game 150 Afterglow
Bobby Seay and Brandon Lyon (or "Seay-Lyon," as we like to call them) made the eighth inning far more interesting than Tigers fans would've preferred, giving up a couple of singles and a couple of walks. And we saw the return of the bases-loaded walk, which was one of the most frustrating aspects...
