I certainly don’t mean offensively, because that’s a terribly small sample size in interleague play, but Scherzer is the key to the Tigers’ success. I’ll tell you why. Well, scratch that, I won’t tell you now, but that line sounded…
HAHAHAHAHAHA (wipes tear from corner of left eye) As you can tell I have half a mind to just cut it off here and say they don’t have a chance. But for the sake of them making the playoffs I’ll…
It’s starting to feel like the time of year when all the teams rush to the trade market and go after a new bat or arm. Just as with shoppers on Black Friday, baseball teams too rush out at some…

Victor Martinez tore his ACL. He might end up missing the entire season if not most of it. This means a lot of things. One is that the Tigers will lose their 5 hole hitter and prime protector of Miguel…
