Miguel Cabrera returns to the Tigers lineup tonight, apparently feeling better after two days to rest up. That’s the good news for Detroit. The bad news is that Jose Iglesias is out of the lineup, presumably still limited by shin splints. Ramon Santiago will bat ninth and play short.

After 15 years the Tigers finally got what they've aways wanted: I was fired by @delawarenorth #Sportservice this morning.

I am totally new to these forums. I joined mostly because I want to join in the Tiger discussions, as I can never seem to catch enough Tigers talk on ESPN. I named myself twentythree in honor of Kirk Gibson.

Go Tigers!!!!

Hopefully the Tigers get back to their winning ways tonight.

I like to look at the stats on Baseballreference.com. I noticed that the Tigers are batting .285, which is best in the league. I looked back on the historical information on BR.com, and I found that in 2007, the Tigers batted .287 as a team. I didn't find any other year when the Tigers batted over .280, other than 1934. (I did not check all years.) It is great to see the Tigers in the top of several offensive categories this year. I just hope the team brings the good pitching to the playoffs!

Nice play by Avila. Out at home.

Holy shit...we made a play at the plate!

Seems like last time was when Pena got that guy and got drilled at home but hung on to the ball.

glad we got that guy at the plate.

 

[manchild98]

Let him steal with no throw and a single plates him. 1-0.

Maybe keeping them off first base a little more often would go a long way.

 

[spockmaster]

might as well just award doubles for singles. ridiculous.

Jabba the Hutt in the KC crowd tonight.

Come post season, if they get there, not being able to throw a runner out once in awhile could really bite us in the arse
