April 17, 2011 The Tigers had their ace, Justin Verlander on the mound. Usually that gives them a better than average chance to win. So far this season, they haven't given him much help.
April 16, 2011 You had to stay up late to see most of action in this one, but it was worth it! Miguel Cabrera hit a solo home run in the top of the ninth to tie the game up at 1-1 to send it into extra innings.
April 15, 2011 The Tigers have had their issues with winning on the road in recent years. Perhaps that is about to change. It did for one night anyway, as Phil Coke got his first win of the season for the Tigers. Coke scattered three hits over 7 innings as the Tigers shut out the Oakland A's 3-0.
April 13, 2011 Two days in a row. Two walkoff wins. Brandon Inge jumped on a hanging curve ball from Texas reliever Darren Oliver and put it in the left field seats to give the Tigers a 3-2 win.
April 12, 2011 In a game that went back and forth several times, the Tigers finally showed that they might still be a team to reckon with.
April 11, 2011 The Tigers lost their 3rd game in a row at Comerica Park today, 2-0 to the Texas Rangers. Justin Verlander pitched a complete game for Detroit, but got no help from his offense.
April 10, 2011 At least the game on Saturday was fairly close. Today the Tigers were never really in it. 4 errors, mediocre pitching and spotty hitting let Kansas City get away with a 9-5 win over the Tigers. Rick Porcello takes the loss and now sports an 0-2 record. The Tigers are in last place in the American League Central with a 3-6 record.
April 8, 2011 The Detroit Tigers played their first game at Comerica Park this season, and before it started the team raised a flag to honor the late Sparky Anderson, their former manager.
April 8, 2011 The Tigers had the lead until the 7th inning last night. Too bad baseball games are nine innings. Baltimore came up with 5 runs in the 7th and beat the Tigers 9-5 continuing Detroit's road woes. The good news? Our home opener is today at Comerica Park.
April 6, 2011 The Detroit Tigers got their second win of the 2011 season tonight, beating the previously unbeaten Baltimore Orioles 7-3 behind the stellar pitching of Justin Verlander and the slugging of catcher Alex Avila
April 5, 2011 I am a baseball fan. I love my Tigers, but like many of you can't afford many trips to see them in person due to the astronomical prices of attending a Major League game. Fortunately, we Flintoids live about an hour away from two minor league teams that are well worth seeing. I mentioned the Great Lakes Loons in a previous post, but the Lansing Lugnuts are also a team you should check out.
April 4, 2011 It was 78 degrees in Baltimore, but the Tiger hitters left their lumber in the icebox against the Orioles.
