Detroit Tigers' Brandon Inge: 'I just want an opportunity to redeem myself a little bit' -- MLive.com, Chris Iott
"Inge called strikeouts 'a stupid stat' and said that players who focus on not striking out end up striking out even more." Yeah, that's your problem, Brandon.

Tigers walk-up music: Listen to the players' songs -- Detroit Free Press, Steve Byrne
So much awful in this article. But Phil Coke takes the cake. Yes, Nickelback is worse than whatever music that is that Ryan Raburn listens to. Also, Daniel Schlereth's head shot in this is terrifying.

Verlander still greatest show on earth -- SweetSpot Blog, David Schoenfield
"For his next act, I half expect Justin Verlander to string a tightrope over the Detroit River and walk across it while carrying Prince Fielder on his back or maybe careen down Niagara Falls in a wooden barrel. Or maybe just eat fire." Or perhaps all of the above. We also shouldn't discount that 107 mph fastball JV promised us.

"Sixty-six percent of 2011 Opening Day closers (20 of 30) are no longer closing for the same team 12 months later, with seven of them hurt." Yep.

"They were presumed lost, one more casualty from a move that broke a borough's heart. But on Thursday, a centurylong odyssey will come to an end when the original 1912 blueprints for Ebbets Field." This is what some might call, awesome.
