JV Locked Up
Justin Verlander will be a Tiger for the next five years…or will he? Verlander signed a five year deal worth $80M last week. This was a big step forward for the club after shipping Curtis Granderson and Edwin Jackson out of town. It shows that club is trying to win, if not now, later.
However, I [...]
Fans of Mediocrity»
I’ll be honest. It’s hard to keep this site up and running. I work too much and frankly, it’s much harded to follow the Tigers in Connecticut than it is in Michigan. I don’t know what the future of this site is, but I’ll hang in there as long as I can.
That being said, I’ve [...]
You Gotta Lock That Down»
I’m a huge fan of the television show, Arrested Development. There is an episode of the show where this kind of nerdy looking pastor is married to a fairly attractive woman.

The Tigers [...]
Any Hope For Willis?»
Dontrelle Willis is at it again. According to Dontrelle:
“I guess you can only beat yourself down so much,” Willis said. “My mind-set was in the wrong place (last year). This is a backyard game. If you’re not having fun, then what’s the point? I think you’re going to see a different person this year.”
That’s all [...]
Cabrera Seeks Treatment for Alcoholism»
Miguel Cabrera has reportedly spent the last three months in treatment for alcoholism. Cabrera was reportedly drunk before the Tigers biggest game of the season and was involved in a physical altercation with his wife.
This is tricky. On one hand, you feel for the guy. He’s a young man going through some really tough stuff [...]
