Atlanta 12 Detroit 4
There really wasn’t much that caught my eye on the offensive side today. Many things to talk about though, from todays pitching performances to my usual daily dose of useless random observations.
Max Scherzer watched his ERA rise to 30.86 today as he lasted only a third of an inning. He was pulled after allowing five runs [...]
Detroit 17 Houston 7»
Today Detroit defeated Houston 17 to 7. No folks it’s not pre-season football that I am referring to… that was in fact todays spring training final score. Besides we all know that the Lions defense can’t hold an opposing team to just seven points.

Rather than spoon feed the box scores to you, I thought [...]

Damon’s a Tiger»
After a few months of speculation the Tigers and Johnny Damon finally reached an agreement that brings the outfielder to Detroit. Damon and the Tigers agreed to a one-year deal worth $8M.
So, where exactly does Damon fit in? He’s clearly taking at-bats from someone, right? So who’s out of the picture now?
You have to figure [...]
