Settle Down, Naysayers
I did not like it when our fans started to boo Papa Grande Sunday. It was after one walk. WTF?
With a closer who’s still trying to get acclimated to game speed on the fly, having had no spring training, that really shouldn’t be that much of a shock.
“You guys have to remember, I don’t have a spring training. This is my spring training right n [...]
And There’s Lift Off… DIR...
GRAND SLAM TIME!
Tigers 7, Astros 2
W: A. Sanchez
HR: Victor Martinez (one on), Andy Dirks (three on)
Austin Jackson was put on the disabled list today, I think with his hamstring bothering him. Avisail “Kid Cabrera” Garcia was recalled in his place from Triple-A. He was hitting over .400 on the year in eight games at Toledo and o [...]

Operation Hockeytown, commence.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Look for $narfington, he’s headed to the D!
The Tigers nearly rallied last night, trailing 6-1 before the 7th inning stretch catapulted us back to a 6-5 score. The ensuing frame, Al-Al couldn’t find the strike zone, and the Tigers surrendered another run. We would score again in the bottom of the 9th, but ultimately fell 7-6, prov [...]
Red Wings Win in Dramatic Fashion
The captain Henrik Zetterberg scored his first goal of the playoffs to push the Wings up 2-1 in the third. Fresh from suspension, Justin Abdelkader assisted on another to give us a boost with 8:30 remaining.
But, the Ducks snarfed two quick goals at the end of the period to tie it 3-3 heading into overtime.

The Tigers trailed 1-0 early, and ended the losing for the home crowd quickly.
Back-to-back doubles by Jhonny Peralta and Alex Avila gave them a 2-1 advantage. Torii Hunter ended the inning with another RBI to make it 3-1.

The Office: Jim & Pam
“Love suffers long and is kind — it is not proud. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never fails. And now these three remain: Faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
