What a season!! What a patched together team. The player who has played the most is the infamous DL. But through it all we are only 2 1/2 out. Verlander is superb. Fister was awesome last night and Scerzer is coming on. The four and five spots in the rotation will keep giving Leyland gray hair. The duo of Cabrera and Fielder is fun -- don't ya love watching Prince leg out anything hit to the infield. Boesch is returning to form. There is a bar Downriver (Three Nicks) that is selling their draft beer at wahtever price rayburn's batting average is. Was 1.67 last night - such a deal!! Is Galaragga still in baseball. It is excting watching Quentin Berry play 14 for 14 with his steals!! Glad he made the majors at 27, he must really love the game for staying in the minors so long. All of the writers in the Free Press and the clowns on the Ticket (97.1) get paid money to analize the team and they don't know any more than I do. Will the Tigs do anything at the trade deadline - not that far away.
Going Friday to watch Verlander mow down the White Sox. Don't give up guys!!
A discussion of the Detroit Tigers past, present and future.
Le Grand Orange
Best DH Season for a Bengal
Guillermo is Tops in Our Opinion!
Willie Hernandez posted the best relief season in the history of the Tigers.

The Rock, no doubt
Ty Cobb
Clearly, we picked Cobb as having the best year in center

Wrigley Field: Our favorite (non-Detroit) operating MLB park

Sparky Anderson - The Greatest Skipper
With the election of Spark, we complete our little Hot Stove project of selecting the Greatest Tiger Team. This was fun.
Who Was the Greatest Tiger Reliever, DH/PH
We resoundingly agree that Willie Hernandez was the best reliever, but we tied on Rusty Staub or Daryl Evans for DH or pinch hitter
Kaline is the Unanimous Rightfielder
In our second consecutive unanimous vote, Al Kaline, is chosen as the Greatest Tiger Rightfielder!
Cobb is Unanimous!
Nobody liked him, but we agree he was the best in center
Willie is Our man in Left!
Willie Horton is our choice for the greatest Tiger in left field
Good Ol' George Kell, the Best Tiger at the Hot Corner
At least by our vote, he's been elected. (BTW, thanks to Tom Haggerty for the write up on all the third basemen.)
Tram Stands Tall at Short
Tiger's Super Second Sacker - Gehringer in a Lanslide!
Once again, I was overwhelmingly out-voted, Charlie Gehringer wins.
Heaven's First Baseman

Our Tiger Hall of Fame
Bill Freehan, catcher
Let's talk trades, guys!
ReplyDeleteI agree with much of what I read in the Freep: we need a starting pitcher. It will probably take a quality hitter and a pitcher with potential, but let's do it. Yes, it's Smolz for Alexander all over again. But I think we can afford to let go of a stick, given that our catcher will be back soon. (Didn't they say August?)
Martinez catching days are over.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get the memo. Is he going to come back at all? DH? That would make either Martinez or Delmon Young excellent trade bait for a decent pitcher. I always like James Shields, at least his last name.
