tigers

Well I dont really know if ads can predict the future, but it IS strange when something predicts the outcome of something. You may have heard the Detroit Tigers have traded Prince Fielder to the Texas Rangers. Weird that ESPN might have been a reason the trade was made.

Randy Miller is one tough dude.

It's two days before Thanksgiving, and I'm talking baseball. How does THAT work out? The Whitecaps have introduced a new hat the team will wear on the road for the 2013 season. With a new logo. It's an homage to the Old English "D" the Tigers wear, and have worn, for over 110 years.

The Detroit Tigers have been no stranger to the World Series, appearing in the Fall Classic 10 times and winning the series 4 of those times.  The Detroit Tigers have fostered some extremely great players throughout the years.  We want to know "What is your favorite Detroit Tiger of all time?"  We took 32 of the best Tigers in history and pitted them up against each other in a bracket to

Halloween is next week-where has 2012 gone? It's almost the end of the year and everything! Whoa, slow down there cowboy! Haven't even hit Halloween yet! This weekend is the biggie--the last weekend before. Here's some help on what to do this weekend for the fam.

The Guys from "Ice Brigade" have put Grand Rapids on the map. First their TV show on the Food Network, and now they are featured at the World Series! Randy Finch and his fellow ice sculptures have been making countless works of ice art for events all around Detroit this week, including many at Comerica Park!

The Tigers are in the Playoffs. Miguel Caberra won the Triple Crown. And the team the Tigs are playing won the AL West on the last day. The Oakland A's. And a pitcher for that team experienced the highest of highs, and the lowest of lows in a 24 hour period.

The Tiger that was many fans "Tiger" is hanging it up. The hero of the 2006 American League Championship series Magglio Ordonez is retiring this weekend with a ceremony at Comerica Park. The image of the homer he hit to send the Tigs to the World Series only three years after the team lost 119 games is burned in many Michigan sports fans' memory.

Not much else is like baseball opening day here in Michigan. I have a couple personal Opening Day stories, but first, I start with the late Ernie Harwell's Ode to Spring. He would always read the Song of Solomon 2:11-12 before the first Spring Training game every year. Even though it's Opening Day, it still is fitting and is part of the lore of Baseball in America.

This is just kinda creepy. First the Smurf got kicked off the "blue carpet" with Katy Perry at the Smurfs movie premiere, now Papa Smurf is throwing out the first pitch at an actual Major League baseball game. It was last night's Tigers-White Sox game in Chicago...

It's true. Brandon Inge is playing for the Tigers main Minor League team the Toledo MudHens. Instead of retiring, or being traded, the Tigs sent him down to the farm to try and correct his .177 batting average. So they can trade him or ask him to retire.

So the Tigs beat Toronto last night 4-2 in a makeup game of a rained out game from earlier this season. The Tigers stay in first place with the win. Jim Leyland got an early exit in the 7th inning after he had "issues" with a call from first base umpire Ed Rapuano.
