Tigers still getting by

The Tigers are still managing to somehow stay a float in their division dispite their recent struggles on the road and at the plate. Hopefully they can get it together soon because the White Sox seem to be ready to leap over them. Which brings us to the video.

Good Stuff

Awesome day for the Tigers today sweeping the White Sox in a double header. Great game one by Verlander with a complete game giving up just 1 ER. There is no need to celebrate yet with 2 more versus Chicago this weekend then a 3 game set with the Rangers. The Tigers need to come out in these next 5 games with 4 wins and take control of the division.

I decided for the weekend to throw up some good videos to watch. So check them out.

A Tale of Two Horses

With the basketball and hockey season coming to a close the sports world turns it's attention to the diamond. The Detroit Tigers currently are out in front by 3 games over the Twins in the Central Division. The Twins have one of the best managers in Ron Gardenhire who can play small ball with the best of them and always seems to be able to get his team to make a late push at the end of the season.

The Tigers are 6-4 in their last 10 games which isn't that great until you look at the other teams in the division who have played at or below .500 in their last 10. For the Tigers to continue to stay on top they will have to improve in both their offensive production and relief pitching/Willis.



The changes that Dave Dombrowski made in the off season seem to be working well up until this point of the season. Edwin Jackson, acquired in via trade, may be the best off season move by any team. He currently has a 6-3 record with an ERA of 2.24 (5th best in the Majors). Then you have the additions of SS Adam Everett and C Gerald Laird who have brought their experience and good defensive play with them. Add in the speedster that is Josh Anderson and the Tigers have a whole new dimension to their team when he is on base or in the outfield.

Then you have the main man Justin Verlander who is taking the mound tonight. Verlander looks to have finally made the next step in his career after a few rough outings to start the season. He was the pitcher of the month for the AL in April and currently has a 7-2 record with an ERA of 3.02 (18th best in the Majors), which has been inflated because of the few bad starts. Verlander is making a run for the Cy Young along with Zach Grienke of the Royals and Roy Halladay.


There is also the Magglio Ordonez situation. If the Tigers play him X number of games this year they will also be on the hook for 17 million next year. To put it mildly Ordonez is not putting up numbers worth 17 million. There has been rumors of a release and them going after Adam Dunn, which I think would be a great move. I really like Ordonez but this is a business and the smart move to do, with how much attendance has fallen and the current economic conditions, would be to let him go unless he really turns it up in the coming weeks.

The Tigers will need to keep getting brilliant performances from both Jackson and Verlander to stay on top. Mix in the good outings by Rick Porcello and they have a great 1-2-3 combo along with the 4th best fielding percentage in the league at .989, and the Tigers should still be there at the end to battle with the Twins.

And because I haven't put up any funny videos lately here is a recap of some of the better ones over the past week.

Game 1: Easy

Well game 1 of the Wings Blackhawks series went just about how I thought it would. The game really wasnt close and I never got as nervous as I did during any of the games against Anaheim. Detroit won 5-2 and Chicago tried to play a wide open game which really favors Detroit. But how about Dan Cleary, after finishing the last series with the game 7 winner, he adds 2 goals against Chicago today.

The series should only take 5 games I believe. Chicago may steal one at home but I dont think you will see anymore then that. Go Wings!

On a side note the Tigers are looking good this weekend. After a rough series with the Twins the Tigers bounced back with a 3 game sweep of Oakland and moved back a top the Central Division.

Why So Mad Miguel?

I hope those balls Miguel Cabrera keeps crushing get a nice resting stop on a mantle somewhere so they can recover from reentry. In his first 5 games this year he has managed to hit .611 with 3 HRs and 10 RBIs while helping the Tigs lick their wounds from the first series against Toronto. At this pace Cabrera could become the all time leader in HRs and has only a career average of .320!! Most power hitters are known for their all or nothing power but Cabrera breaks that mold and seems to be able to put the ball in play with every at bat.


GM of the Tigers (Dave Dombrowski) has received criticism in the past few years as the Tigers have not lived up to their billing and players such as Jurgens blossoming into a great player. Yeah that sucks, but how do you quantify that against the acquisition and long term contract of 25 YEAR OLD sure fire Hall-of-Famer who may end up with some of the greatest numbers of all time?




As long as Cabrera keeps putting this team on his back and staying in the division race, Dombroski won't have to think about those bad decision's. He can sit tight knowing that yeah he made some bad choices, but damn it how many other GMs can say they acquired a player as young and talented as Cabrera coming into his prime?

The best is yet to come Detroit.

Suck on that Frechy!!!

If you haven't already seen or heard the news yet the Olympics have started and the U.S.A. is taking it to the world. I was up late last night to check out the U.S. relay team in swimming. It was one of the better events I've ever seen in the Olympics.

The French team was the heavy favorite for the event and talking all this smack in the papers about how they came here just to beat the U.S., didn't go as planned. In the final league of the relay Jason Lezak (U.S.A.) was about a full body length behind the French. The announcers were had pretty much concluded the U.S. would lose and had began to talk about how Phelps would not be able to go for the record 8 gold medals.

Just as they are coming down the finally lap (don't know what they call it in swimming, sorry. Update: it is called leg) Lezak starts to glide through the water as if swimming for his life like I used to do in my pool after I saw the Jaws movie. Just as both swimmers are within feet of the finish Lezak stretches out and edges out the French by hundredths of seconds.

One of the best moments of the Olympics and I'm sure will be the talk of the day around the country.

GO U.S.A!!!!

I have also stopped watching the sideshow that is the Detroit Tigers. Since then they've managed to sweep the Oakland A's. I will continue to not watch as this move seems to both benefit myself and the team, your welcome Leyland.

Had a fantasy football draft yesterday and Reggie Bush better have a great year because I have bought into the legend that he was in college $$$$. FF drafts are very fun for anyone and I encourage anybody who is big NFL fan to get in a league.

The only thing about FF that I hate is when people cheer against their favorite team so that their FF players can get points and win. I know there is a lot of money in FF and that being a fan, especially of the Lions, isn't very rewarding but I just don't see how you can call yourself a fan of any team when in reality your just a sellout.

Peace Out

I bet their are a lot of people out there who can imagine one of their friends being this stupid

Had to post this

Eat Em Up Tigers, Eat Em Up, Eat Em Up

Lookout for the Tigers! Glad to see them come out and get some runs after a blowout the other night. I really believe that Cabrera is going to really get it going for the second half of the season. The biggest key for the Tigers, as with any MLB team, is for their starting pitching to step up and keep the runs low. Minor, Robertson, and Rodgers will be the main reason the Tigers do or don’t make a push towards the division lead.

Still hearing rumors that the Pistons are interested in both Josh Smith (sign & trade) and Ron Artest. Don’t really know how strong of interest the Pistons have in either one but both have the Pistons trading away Prince to acquire either player.

Here is a link to some news on 5 Star recruit Darius Wintson. He had named Michigan as his new leader awhile back but since has decided to slow the recruiting process down a little.

http://www.nwanews.com/adg/Sports/231854/

Also former Michigan QB, Clayton Richard, will be making his first start today for the White Sox. I don’t remember this guy at all. I hope he does well, but also hope they lose for the Tigers sake.

Yes, Dunk Fail indeed!

Damn Tigers!!

The Tigers let everyone down this week in which they could’ve gained a ton of ground on both the division leader White Sox and second place Twins. The Twins have owned the Tigers this season and they came to Comerica and kept the Tigers their whipping boy by taking 3 out of 4. I won’t go out and say there is no chance of the Tigers making a run at the Sox and Twins but if Mags comes back and we don’t come out of the All-Star break on a tear, we will be looking forward to next year very early.

Sick of Brett Favre and how much ESPN is talking about him…….

I can’t believe how close training camp is and all the FF football talk that is starting to creep up. It is the best time of year for most sports fans by far. I can only hope to be watching the RED ZONE channel at one of my friends house come this fall.

Also the last bit of news for the day is that the Lions are interested in QB Chris Simms from the Bucs. I really don’t understand why considering we just drafted Stanton last year with a 2nd round pick. It never fails that the Lions will continue to defy all logic.


Thought you could only do this kind of bad assery in a video game.

Still tracking different Michigan recruits. Here is Darius Winston a 5-Star CB who put Michigan at the top of his list for the 2009 class after he dropped off from Arkansas.

If Only All Nights Had This Much Great TV

What a great night for a Detroit sports fan. The Pistons come back home to hopefully take over the series against the nagging 76ers. The Wings go out to Colorado and can shut the door on any chance of the Avs cup run this year, and the Tigers start a series with everyone favorite team to hate, the yanks.

It's days like these that make my GF get pissed off, so I'm glad she'll be up north so she won't be bitching at me. I think all three teams will win tonight and everyone in the D will rejoice for one great night of sports.

Anyone Sick of That Fox Promo Yet?

Between switching back and forth from the Tigers, Wings, and Pistons games on Foxsports and Foxsports Plus I'm ready to shot that idiot in the head. Yes its April in the D and we all are happy we get to see the games, but show me a few big breasted women in the background not a Tommy Lee wanna be with Lyrics that I could make better with an hour on the toilet.

It is nice though to have both the Stones and Wings in the playoffs as the Tigers begin playing like they were supposed to, two weeks after the season started. I think the Pistons we make easy work of the 76ers, but they might lose one just because we all know how laid back they can get when not challenged. The Wings will win tonight by 4-1 and McCarty will have a hat trick, GUARANTEED!!!

Did You Guys Pray?

After my last blog where I aske for fans of the Tigs to pray the cats have gone on a roar going 2-2!! We're back, I hope. I really hope last nights game is the turning point of the season, but everytime the tigers win one they lose the next.

Last night the Red Wings were also looking to go up 3-0 in the series versus the hillbillies, but they sat back and got too defensive and Dom let an easy one it. No worries here though, the Wings have played against the Preds tight all year and come out on top in pretty much all of the games. Hopefully the wings can play 3 full periods in the next matchup and not lie down after they think they have it in the bag.

Ah as for the Predators fan base of toothless goons, they are all over the web acting like they have just won the series even though they are still down 2-1. I can't imagine all of the webbed feet offsprings that would be consumated if they were to ever win the cup. They actually through a Catfish on the ice which doens't make to much sense with any kind of hockey tradition.

The Preds are the typical new fan base of a team that hasn't earned anything since they've been in the league, but act like they should be respected. What should I respect them for, the way they are able to put two double wides together on a hill and not have them tip over? It is always funny when one fan base thinks they know a sport that they don't even play in their state, let alone have ever played in their life but want to be conisdered knowledgable about the sport. Having fun getting beat by the Wings hicks!!

Get Your Tickets to Ford Field!

Like clockwork the NCAA tourney has lived up to the hype and provided upsets, buzzer beaters, and college atheletes crying on the hardwood once again. I hope your bracket are still doing well, still have my final 4 teams and thats it. I'm ready for the next round to start I really think it will be the most entertaining of all of all the rounds and all the matchups could go either way.

Lots of sports news over the weekend with the HUGE contract given to Cabrera. This is a great move by DD as usual and most experts see this contract as a bargain in the future years to come. I'm also really happy that this means the Tigers will be able to add another player to the Hall of Fame if he keeps on doing what he has done his entire career, hit lights out! Opening day is right around the corner and all Tigers fans should be excited to see what this team is capable of.

Also in news that is making the headlines across the nation today, the mayor of Detroit (Kwame) has been charged with plenty of felonies to earn his stripes behind bars. Listening to the radio and reading the papers here it seems everyone is more than happy this is taking place and he can't be found guilty fast enough. The mayor looks to finally be able to reach his goal as the ultimate hip-hop/rap mayor if found guilty. You know the street cred will go far in many other major cities becasue thats what most of them look for when voting for a person to run there city. I can't tell you how great it is that KK is being charged with these crimes and can only hope that the Detroit voters can learn from the mistake they made in giving him the keys to the city in future votes.

Now for a few vids that Beautiful Dreamer thought would help the next round of the tourney get here faster.

Poll Results for Favorite Detroit Team

Thanks to everyone who got on Joe Cullen Drive-Bye and voted for your favorite Detroit team. Here are the results from the 51 most knowledgable sports fans in the WORLD!!!!

Red Wings - 16 votes (31%)
Lions - 12 votes (23%)
Tigers - 17 votes (33%)
Pistons - 6 votes (11%)

I was suprised in how many people voted for the wings and glad to see it. In the end the winner was the Tigers who may have one of the best lineups in the history of baseball. Each team got a lot of votes and it just goes to show that Michigan is one of the best sports states and will support any team that plays here (just look at the Lions). Hopefully a few of these teams will also be able to bring home a championship as well this year.
