TheSportingSnarf  is a website dedicated to the enjoyable, humorous, and nuanced aspects of the sporting and (to a lesser extent) pop-culture world.  We attempt to touch upon (in varying degrees of print/video length) engaging topics which are not discussed nearly enough. We’d love for you to give us your perspective, network, and participate regularly. But if you’d just like to join in on the mob-mentality and get all sanctimonious on a particular sports figure — head on over to ESPN.com. (Mickey Mouse welcomes you.) Or you can keep it real with us.

National League 0-5 Vs. Detroit

National League 0-5 Vs. Detroit

Tigers 11 Nationals 1 I woke up late. Some bull. 1-0 Nats wasn’t exactly breakfast in bed. Nonetheless, five runs ensued the next at bat for the Tigers. First, Ramon Santiago knocked in runners at second and third for a 2-1 lead. Next, Alex Avila hit his second home run in as many games, upping […]

Tigers Get Their Man

Jose Veras of the Houston Astros has been traded to Detroit for Danry Vasquez, a leadoff hitter for the Whitecaps (.281, 5 HRs, 9SBs), plus a player to be named. 2011: Doug Fister 2012: Anibal Sanchez & Omar Infante ’13: Veras Dave D. strikes at the deadline, again.

Tigers Sweep Phillies!

The Tigers did two better than yesterday – without “Triple” or Jim Leyland. Goddamn. For those who missed, Miguel Cabrera was ejected from today’s game while batting with the bases loaded, 0-2 count. He stepped back from the box after the first strike, said something, then did the same after the second pitch. You know […]

MICHIGAN IS BACK

After receiving a commitment from the #3 prospect in the world for 2015, Michigan has cemented it’s reputation under new coach Brady Hoke. They’ve done nothing but win since the coach took over two years ago. Every home game has been defended with victory. We won our bowl game two years ago and nearly beat […]

Happy Birthday, Max!

First inning, two outs. Miguel Cabrera makes his first plate appearance since sitting out with his hip sore. I change my seat to sit right in front of the TV. HOME RUN! You know in Superman, when Lois Lane is falling to her death (again) and the superhero pulls a Neo from the Matrix and catches […]

Tigers 2, Phillies 1

What a game! Doug Fister pitched eight innings to earn his 9th win, giving up one run, no earned, on three hits and one walk. The only run scored after a Philadelphia snarf reached first on an error. The Tigers got their runs off a two-run double by Alex Avila. Ramon Santiago and Hernan Perez […]

Tigers Snarf White Sox

The Tigers hit some solid dongs in this one. First inning, two on for Prince Fielder: SEE-YA (3-0). Anibal Sanchez went six innings and didn’t allow a run. He looked sharp, and is returning to form after his shoulder injury. In his first frame, he allowed a Sock to reach third without an out, but […]

Tigers 6, White Sox 2

INSIDE THE PARK HOME RUN! W: Rick Porcello Rick was roughed up in the first inning. Our Tiger loaded up the bases and worked a 3-0 count, all on two outs. No worries, though: he got the out and would not have any more trouble. Porcello pitched seven strong innings, allowing four hits and three […]

Tigers 7, White Sox 3

Max Scherzer outdueled Chris Sale to earn his 14th win of the season. Prince Fielder singled in Torii Hunter for the game’s first score. Rookie Hernan Perez started at second base and played his best since being called up to help out while Omar Infante heals. His glove was in full effect, setting the tone. […]

Tigers 4, Royals 1

Win: DOUG FISTER (6 IP, one run) Miguel Cabrera hit his 31st homer in the 1st to put Detroit ahead 1-0. In the bottom of the second, Miguel Tejada hit a solo out to tie it 1-1. Fister would not allow another run. Andy Dirks put the Tigers ahead for good in the 5th with […]
