Posted on 16 Apr 2012 by Jeremy Klumpp.

He was not supposed to be the offensive spark ending losing streaks. On Sunday afternoon, Laird erupted at the plate, going 3-4 with a home run and double while helping the Tigers, and Rick Porcello beat the Chicago White So...

I’ll Take It
Posted on 13 Apr 2012 by Brett Decker.
I'll Take It! should be the attitude that every Tiger fan, and really every Tigers player as well, has about the recently completed series with Tampa. While there were times through these three games that Detroit seemed dominant; the overall series was really a knock down, drag out fight between two almost evenly matched likely playoff participants and world series contenders. The deepest and a...

Will No-Hitter Spark the Tigers?
Posted on 11 May 2011 by Jeremy Klumpp.

Oh my Boesch! Rookies making the difference this year
Posted on 20 May 2010 by Shane Liebler.
The biggest question mark coming into this season had to be whether the Tigers could replace Curtis Granderson's athleticism and power. Rookie Austin Jackson has proved an apt leadoff man, leading the team in hits and stolen bases while currently tied with Johnny Damon for runs scored.
