Off day

Well, the Tigers have an off day today, and I think it comes at a good time. In case you missed it, the Tigers were swept this weekend by the Pinstriped Evil Empire of New York. However, the fault was not with the pitching as those guys were great on the mound. The lack of run support came back to bite us in each of the games. Hopefully the off day will give the Tigers a chance to correct their swings and get back to scoring runs.

I keep hearing on sports radio that maybe the Tigers should consider trading for Roy Halladay. However, I submit to you that the Tigers need someone to come in and spark their bats. Another player whose name has been tossed around is Matt Holliday. Compared to last year, he's having a down season. With our arsenal of well-stocked minor league prospects, I would hope that Dave Dombrowski is at least looking to move a few kids to acquire someone of Holliday's caliber.

The Tigers begin a seven game homestand tomorrow against the Mariners and the White Sox. With the White Sox only 1.5 games behind Detroit, winning at least five of these home games is very important.

The second half of the 2009 season is off to a rocky start, but the Tigers have a chance to turn it around at home this week.

Go Tigers!

The Tigers have closed out inter-league play with a comeback win against the Astros. Detroit will start July with the Athletics and finish the month with the Indians. With 14 games against AL Central foes this month, July is very critical for the Tigers to win the division.

Back from vacation

My apologies for not posting as of late. With two kids in school, the year-end activities kept me and the wife pretty busy. Then, my wife and I took off to celebrate our 10-year anniversary, and there was golf to be played and beaches to be sat on, so updates were far from my mind. And, to top it all off, work has been absolutely crazy busy for the past six weeks, so I've had very little free time. I promise that I'll try to be more frequent in my posting on here.

On a Tigers related note, the Sporting News released their latest Power Poll. They have the Tigers ranked #4 moving up three spots from last week. I don't hold too much stock in these ranking systems, but it's an interesting read nonetheless. Here's the link to the article, http://www.sportingnews.com/mlb/article/2009-06-22/power-poll-pujols-cardinals-fly-top-3.

I'll be working on the desktop wallpapers this weekend, so look for those early next week.

The Tigers open a three game series against the Chicago Cubs today. Let's keep the winning streak alive!

Go Tigers!

Short break from baseball

This is a Detroit Tigers baseball blog, but every once in a while, I need to give a shoutout to something else. In this case, that something else is the Detroit Red Wings.

Unless you live under a rock, you probably know that tonight is Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. This has been one of the best Finals series I've ever watched, and I cannot wait for the puck to drop.

Not much more to say except....

Let's Go Wings!!!!!!!!!!!!
