Detroit Tigers

Miguel Cabrera had four hits, including a homer during a five-run sixth inning, Rick Porcello pitched shutout ball into the sixth inning and the Detroit Tigers beat the Kansas City Royals 6-3 Monday night to win the AL Central title.   This is the first time since 1934-35 season Detroit reach the postseason in consecutive years.

The post-season contenders are beginning to take shape as the 2012 season enters its final 30 games. Here’s what’s happening this week in Major League Baseball:

Last week, one Detroit Tigers fan had a little bit too much to drink during the Tigers’ 5-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. After getting ejected from the game for some unknown reason (let’s take a stab in the dark and say public drunkenness), the fella in the red jacket got the ultimate walk-off as his sober friend carried him up a flight of stairs followed by a small army of security guards.

Detroit Tiger Justin Verlander sent 14 Yankees walking back to the bench last night in a 7-2 win at home against New York. The 14 Strikeouts tied his career high. Justin went eight innings deep with 132 pitches and received a huge Detroit Roar from the sold-out crowd on his way to the dug-out after his final strikeout.

Miguel Cabrera's two-run homer capped off  a great five-run rally by Detroit Tigers with two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning. The Big Man sent the fastball  into the bullpen in left, what a beautiful way to swipe the Indians.  Tigers 10 Indians 8.

No major league team is hotter than the Detroit Tigers, who capped the weekend with a come-from-behind victory. Here’s what’s happening in Major League Baseball:

Miguel Cabrera homered twice, getting his 300th home run for his career and helping the Detroit Tigers beat the Chicago White Sox 6-4 on Sunday.  The Big Man became the 14th Major League Baseball player to hit his 300th home run before his 30th birthday.

Detroit Tiger outfielder Delmon Young has reportedly been arrested in New York according to the Detroit Free Press. In the Freep article, the New York Post reports that Young was arrested early this morning and was intoxicated. He reportedly pushed a man to the ground in front of a hotel around 2:40 a...

The Tigers have parted ways with Brandon Inge.  The franchise released the infielder after Thursday’s loss to the Mariners.  Inge was drafted by the Tigers in 1998 and made his major league debut as a catcher in 2001, then moved to third base after the 2003 season when Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez took over behind the plate.

Is it too early to predict post season goings on?  Yes, of course.  But WOW.  if this past weekends Tiger shenanigans are the shape of things to come, I'd feel safe in saying our boys will be right there in the thick of it come October.  3-0...

Today is opening day for the Detroit Tigers down at Comerica Park. The sun is shining and it's going to be a glorious day for baseball! Do you remember this classic from Abbot & Costello? Watch and laugh along!

The Tigers have apparently found the power hitter they were looking for to replace the injured Victor Martinez, as Prince Fielder is set to sign a long-term contract with Detroit.
