Tigers? recent error-filled play has been indefensible.
from the OaklandPress

By one defensive system ? Total Zone Total Fielding ? the Tigers came into the game 60 runs below average defensively, worst in the majors.
By the other, Baseball Info Solutions? Defensive Runs Saved, they?re third-worst (42 below average).
Defensive efficiency (converting balls in play into outs), they?re fourth from the bottom, and just 66.7 percent.
 
DIRKS UPDATE: He reinjured his hamstring running bases for TOL Sunday. Status? Uncertain.
 
August 18 in Tigers and mlb history:

1907: Detroit's first Sunday game at home since 1902, and the first at Bennett Park, is a 16 - 3 win over New York.

1915 - Detroit trades outfielder Baby Doll Jacobson to the Browns.

1936 - Tigers second baseman Charlie Gehringer gets his 2,000th hit.

1938: When Detroit's Billy Rogell walks his first time up, it is his seventh consecutive base on balls, a new American League record.

1961 - Ron Kline, purchased from the Angels on August 10, blanks the Red Sox on four hits to give the Tigers a 5 - 0 win. Bill Monbouquette fails for the 9th time to win his 9th, lasting just four innings and gives up homers to Billy Bruton and Rocky Colavito.

1984 - Detroit's Juan Berenguer goes 8 1/3 innings and strikes out 12 to give the Tigers a 4 - 3 victory over the Mariners. Kirk Gibson drives in three runs with his 20th homer of the year, and becomes the first Tiger ever to reach 20 in both homers and steals. Gibson's homer is his 15th game-winning RBI this year.

It?s difficult to find any type of silver lining in the Detroit bullpen, but ever since his meltdown outing against Cleveland on July 19th, Joe Nathan has not been awful. It?s only a 10-inning stretch, but he?s shaved off almost an entire run off his ERA in that span. It speaks to how awful Nathan has been as much as it is an encouraging sign about possible progress. Joakin Soria is hurt and Joba Chamberlain is next in line in Detroit. I?ve picked up Al Alburquerque in a few deep leagues, as I think he?s a stretch-run sleeper for saves.
