While I got my son more toys than he needs for two Christmases and my wife a day spa, I also thought of the current Tigers and what their needs are. Of course, you may ask the question, what on earth do you buy men who can literally by anything they want? So of course, [...]

A long time ago, back when I was a young idiot who had aspirations of being the next Peter Gammons, I was majoring in journalism at Penn State (Lehigh Campus) and was taking a class on the Integrity and the Journalistic Mind. One of the movies (the adjunct professor loved movies) that was shown was [...]
 Via SBNation Detroit This may be getting framed.
That’s right I used the word “thus” Ive been getting a bunch of twitter and e-mail questions regarding why the Tigers aren’t trading anyone. First off, I run this blog as a way for me to express myself and don’t expect anyone to read it, so it’s a bit weird and flattering that people want [...]

I’m pretty sure most of you know [...]
It’s kind of strange that I’m spending so much time on Ryan Braun…this is my second post about his positive PED test. But inasmuch as this is a Tigers blog, it is a blog about baseball, and furthermore, it is a blog where we learn and PED’s are as relevant as anything in the game. [...]
