The 2009 BYB Preview: The Tigers vs. the AL Central
Unlike last year, not a lot is expected of the Detroit Tigers this season. And while the fan in me likes that they'll be prowling under the radar, instead of quivering under expectations, I just can't manage the same sort of bluster I may have a month or so ago. Will the Tigers be better this...
The Detroit Tigers Podcast Goes Daily
With the 2009 season about to begin, it's roundtable time at The Detroit Tigers Podcast. Joining Mike McClary to talk some Tigers were his fellow writers at The Daily Fungo, John Milton and Jim Craddock, Big Al from The Wayne Fontes Experience, and I managed to show up fashionably late to the...

Morning Prowl: Porcello's Finger, Zumaya Plays Catch, and Chipper Hates Toronto
Rick Porcello got through his bullpen session without re-opening the cut on his right index finger, so he'll make his scheduled start tomorrow against the New York Yankees. Speaking of Porcello, he and Ryan Perry (who looked good again last night) are on Jon Heyman's list of 34 rookies to...
Morning Prowl: Sunday Bloody Sunday, Competing Closers, and All-Time Teams
According to Peter Abraham, one scout had A.J. Burnett hitting 98 m.p.h. on the radar gun. No wonder the Tigers only managed one hit against him in two innings yesterday. On the Tigers' side, Nate Robertson was awful against the Yankees, giving up four walks, three hits, and three runs in...
