This would have been a good entry for Jimmy Kimmel’s Christmas gift prank videos: a father gives his daughter – a big Chicago White Sox fan – a gift for a Chicago Cubs fan! Needless to say, she wasn’t happy about it. Not only does she not want it, she doesn’t even want to take [...]

Stu Allen — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 21:39:31 +0000

The first half of this season the Tigers were a team that was waiting to get it together. It took a while, but it's happening in a big way for Detroit as the Tigers came from behind with a pair of pinch-hit homers in the 9th from Ryan Raburn and Alex Avila to tie the game at 5-5. Victor Martinez doubled in the Tiger half of the 10th and was replaced by pinch-runner Will Rymes, who promptly scored on Carlos Guillen's base hit (his 3rd of the day).

The last time Justin Verlander pitched, Victor Martinez made sure he got his 22nd win by belting a grand slam to beat Cleveland. Tonight, V-Mart hit a 3-run blast in the 6th inning of what was a 1-0 game at the time. That put Detroit and Verlander up 4-0. The Tigers would add one more run to beat the White Sox 5-0. It was the 11th win in a row for Detroit and the 11th straight win for Verlander, who is now 23-5.

Rick Porcello got off to a rough start, walking two and loading the bases in the first inning against the Chicago White Sox. He would find a way to wriggle out of that jam trailing only 1-0, then got into a groove to shut down the Sox while his offense continued to put a beat-down on Chicago pitching. The Tigers pounded out 21 hits en route to a 14-4 laugher over the Sox. The Tiger magic number to clinch the American League Central is now 6.

Detroit Tigers Crush White Sox 18-2

Stu Allen — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 04:06:21 +0000

This was a day when everybody in the lineup padded their stats. Andy Dirks came in as a defensive replacement after the game was already out of hand and had 4 RBI on two hits. Everything the Tigers hit tonight was falling in. They hit balls hard, they hit bloopers and nubbers, everything fell in safely for hits. The Tigers had a season-high 24 hits. Miguel Cabrera hit another long homer tonight, this one a 430 foot blast into the bushes in center. He also knocked in 4 runs. Victor Martinez had 3 hits, Ordonez had 2 hits, Austin Jackson had two more hits, Jhonny Peralta had 2 hits and 3 RBI, Alex Avila had 4 hits and Brandon Inge chipped in with 3 hits.

Detroit Tigers Come Back From 7 Run Deficit, Win 9-8 On Cabrera Homer

Stu Allen — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 02:29:38 +0000

Brad Penny has struggled this season as a Tiger pitcher. He didn't get much help from his defense today and that set the stage for a fun day for Chicago hitters. An error on what could have been an inning-ending doubleplay in the 4th led to 5 White Sox runs (4 unearned) and the Tigers were down 6-1. Penny didn't help himself much in the next inning, allowing back-to-back jacks and suddenly the rout was on as Chicago held an 8-1 lead. The Tigers did not give up.

Verlander Wins #21, Detroit Tigers Ambush White Sox 8-1

Stu Allen — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 03:12:57 +0000

Chicago pitcher John Danks wasn't ready for the Tigers in the first inning of tonight's game. When Miguel Cabrera stole second base off Danks in the first (his catcher didn't have a chance to throw out the lumbering Tiger slugger), you had to know that this might be a good night for the team from "The D". Cabrera ended up scoring on a bloop single to left by Alex Avila, and the Tigers staked Justin Verlander to a 3-0 lead. That was more than enough for the Tiger ace, who struck out six in 7 and one third innings of work. The only blemish was a solo home run to White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers in the 8th inning.

To his credit, Scherzer held the Sox in check the rest of the way.

Stu Allen — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 03:43:26 +0000

When the Tigers have really needed a win this season, Justin Verlander has delivered time and time again. Tonight, Verlander gave up 2-run homers to the struggling slugger Adam Dunn (.160 batting ave.) and to Paul Konerko (Chicago's best hitter). Verlander would strike both of them out in the bottom of the 8th after the Tigers took a 5-4 lead.

The Tigers had been a streaky team so far this season. Win 4 or 5. Lose 4 or 5. Repeat. Justin Verlander got some help from the big guy, Miguel Cabrera, who hit a two-run homer with two outs in the 9th to give his team the lead. Tigers win 4-2. Verlander pitched the first [...]

Stu Allen — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 13:45:58 +0000

The Tigers had a boatload of opportunities to score runs last night, but couldn’t cash in on many of them.

Despite a 3-run homer from Casper Wells, the Tigers [...]

Stu Allen — Sat, 23 Apr 2011 23:45:49 +0000

Brad Penny got his first win as a Detroit Tiger today, pitching 7 innings and only giving up one hit to the White Sox. The one hit was controversial as Chicago's Brent Morel reached in the sixth inning on a hard hit ball down the 3rd base line that was gloved by Brandon Inge. Inge's throw pulled first baseman Miguel Cabrera off the base and the official scorer ruled it was a hit.

Stu Allen — Sat, 23 Apr 2011 02:05:58 +0000

Stu Allen — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 22:33:24 +0000

It’s the first time the Tigers have won a road series this season. After a terrible beating at the hands of the weak-hitting Seattle Mariners last night, the Tigers rode the suddenly good pitching of Rick Porcello to beat the M’s 3-2 this afternoon. Porcello has looked good in his last two outings, going 6 [...]
