i havent heard much from him in spring training but he is my favorite player on the team...he can eat up some ground in the outfield for sure...though i do miss Granderson i think he is a good replacement

[blacksmoke194]

yeah justin is so hit or miss i love the guy but man we need another big name to help him, this could be a repeat of last year....our pitching is mediocre at best..the bats will hafta keep them in every game.

[beng]

Id take Verlander on my team all day long though. His stuff is filthy, I think the weather reallly effected both him and CC yesterday though. Neither had good control. Mcab is a machine

[CruznMalibu]

Go Tigers!!!
R.I.P. - Ernie & Sparky

I took these shots at the WS in 06' and was lucky enough to get tickets for game five back in 84' those slides are in a shoe box somewhere in my attic; I need to borrow a scanner and get them online.





Let's hope there are games played here in late October

[blacksmoke194]

i remember watching that ALCS at work and going absoluetly insane when Mags hit that home run ...hopefully we can have a successful year i think our bullpen is gonna haunt us though

[blacksmoke194]

See ya Inge. Should have dumped this guy 3 years ago.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers have acquired third baseman Wilson Betemit from the Kansas City Royals for two minor leaguers.

The 29-year-old Betemit has hit .281 with three home runs and 27 RBIs in 57 games with the Royals this year. The Tigers have been hoping third baseman Brandon Inge would break out of his lengthy slump, but he's hitting .177 going into Wednesday night's game against the Oakland Athletics.

Detroit announced the trade with the Royals just over an hour before the first pitch Wednesday.

Kansas City receives left-hander Antonio Cruz and catcher Julio Rodriguez. The 19-year-old Cruz has gone 2-6 with a 3.11 ERA with Class A West Michigan in 2011.

The 21-year-old Rodriguez has hit .283 at Class A Lakeland.

I like Inge man he is a decent third baseman...kinda lacked in the batting average but he is a cool dude. I got to meet him a couple years ago
