Chris Fetters is going to be one busy guy saving the careers of all these new pitchers......................... He's gonna need a better contract.

The ship is taking on water. Hinch needs a bigger pump soon or he's going down with the ship.

A Corvette is a Chevy..................Just sayin'

Just have to solve the Meadows, Vierling, Sweeny & Rogers hitting woes. Oh yeah.....and the bullpen. Not an easy task by any means. Perhaps last year's trade deadline work needs to happen again. It was addition by subtraction. Hate to see that happen, because these guys are very likable and can be successful. But can the team afford to wait? It should be a couple of interesting weeks ahead for Tiger fans.

How about Oklahoma City or Omaha?

Yep.........might have to trade some of that young talent. But you never know when a Doyle Alexander for John Smoltz type of trade will happen.

His annual $1,198,248.20 check is still coming to him until 2035 according to what I read. Not a bad retirement huh?

The MLB TV deals are stupid. They definitely don't cater to baseball fans. If they want more people following the MLB, they need to make games more accessible, not less.

That's a black hole in leftfield tonight with a lifetime .226 hitter there instead of Riley. Meadows, Vierling, and Perez can't get back here soon enough. Prove me wrong Akil. .226 is generous. The last three years .143, .137, & .218

We might need the cone of silence for this game.................................. Bing Videos

Chet Lemon was 1/4 of that great defense up the middle for the 1984 Tigers. He was fun to watch and seemingly loved to play the game. It was hard to see him at the 40th reunion with his health struggles. I'm glad he is no longer suffering and we are all better Tiger fans for those of us who saw him play. BTW, I sat in the bleachers for a doubleheader back in the day. Those seats were hard on the behind. But I think we paid like $4 to sit there. What a bargain! There used to be a guy out there every game leading the cheers. Anyone remember him?

I just wonder how many times a player has hit three homers in a game only to be intentionally walked for the rest of the game? I don't think I'd pitch to the guy after he has already hit three in the game.

Yes, the Reds played in Plant City. The Royals played at what was called Baseball City, which was about 15 miles or so east of Lakeland. I believe it was at the I-4 and Rt. 27 interchange. The baseball stadium there is no more. I think it's all a shopping and condo area now. I went to games at both locations years ago.

How is everyone watching the Tigers this season? Are they still on Bally?

I'm wondering if he had a broken hand all of last year when he hit .137? If not, maybe he could actually hit better with just one hand. It didn't work well for him with two healthy hands.
