Pride in Defeat: Twins 6, Tigers 5
In the days and weeks to come, the collapse will probably be the story. Post-mortem examinations will be performed on the 2009 Detroit Tigers, and plenty of people will point to what they see as the cause of loss. And we have nothing but time in which to go over that stuff. But for now, hours...
Bring on Game 163: Tigers 5, White Sox 3
Saturday morning, I was out for breakfast with my mother. Naturally, the Tigers came up in conversation. ("You're still doing that?" - Just kidding; she didn't say that. Not out loud, anyway.) Eventually, I said that the Tigers were still in good shape because Justin Verlander was pitching on...
Tied Rhymes With Died: White Sox 5, Tigers 1
Words fail to recap this game. What can really be said? Actually, I think the fans at Comerica Park said it quite well as the home team left the field tonight. The Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins are now tied for first place in the AL Central. It really is now "do or die." If the Tigers don't...
Nowhere Near Good Enough: White Sox 8, Tigers 0
If Jake Peavy was going to pitch against the Detroit Tigers the way he did last week, their chances of winning likely wouldn't have been that strong. But at least the Tigers could've looked competitive on Friday night. Losing 8-0 with a division championship at stake doesn't exactly give that...
Total Buzzkill: Twins 8, Tigers 3
The storyline was laid out perfectly. All the Detroit Tigers had to do was follow it. But they don't do so well with that. Sometimes, that's not a bad thing. If the Tigers simply followed the path that was drawn out for them before the season, they wouldn't be playing for an AL Central division...
The Finish Line is Near: Tigers 7, Twins 2
It's so close. So very close. Tiger Town is leaning on the dugout rail in anticipation, ready to jump over it and take the field. And if the Detroit Tigers win one more time, we're going to celebrate. Right now, all things seem possible. Heck, if the Tigers can beat Carl Pavano, what can't...
A Little Breathing Room: Tigers 6, Twins 5
The thrill ride continues. This is no ferris wheel. It's not a carousel. Bumper cars? Maybe, but not enough drama. The Tigers' race with the Minnesota Twins for the AL Central is a roller coaster. And we're all riding in the front car. After losing the first game of yesterday's doubleheader,...
Now, It's Very Close: Twins 3, Tigers 2
Only one game now separates first place from second in the AL Central, as the Minnesota Twins took the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader from the Detroit Tigers, 3-2. You wanted a close race, baseball fans? The Tigers just accommodated you. Do they have to be so accommodating? Maybe it's a...
That Bunch of [Expletives] Won: White Sox 8, Tigers 4
This whole season hasn't been easy for the Detroit Tigers, so why should its last week be any different? With a chance to win two out of three in their final road series of the season, and the possibility of adding a game to their lead over the Twins in the AL Central, two of the Tigers' most...
Two Hits is Enough: White Sox 2, Tigers 0
The Detroit Tigers got a preview of what facing the Chicago White Sox could be like for the next three or four seasons. Unfortunately, the Tigers are very much dealing with right now, and trying to win the AL Central. Jake Peavy looked much like the same pitcher who's been one of the best in the...
