Oh yes. Let's hope that DD doesn't go all Inge on us in resigning him.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version
Keep in mind, Magglio was hitting about .312 when his leg went snap last summer. And once he went down, the rest of the AL stopped pitching to Cabrera. Boesch had gone cold as ice, and no one expected this out of either Peralta or Avila. For about the 1,000th time, we were not in a position to let bats walk out the door, especially those that had been productive as recently as last July.
As for Inge, he's signed through 2012, and I suspect that will be the end of his career.

I'm not saying they shouldn't have signed him. I was in favor of it too. Just that he doesn't even resemble that player anymore.
The playoffs commercial they're showing of his '06 home run is pretty awesome though. Still gives me chills.

Hit into 4 double plays, and Penny's on the mound. Bad combination.
Wow. No more trading for relief pitchers. Pauley sucks as much as Purcey did.

Giovatella (sp?) is going to take Thome's role in the division as a Tiger killer when the latter retires.
Hitting .244 for the season, but 7-13 vs. the Tigers.

Jacob Turner will make a spot start on Thursday against the Royals. Verlander is being pushed back a day to Friday. Not a bad decision, IMO.
Headed to bottom of the 9th.
Nice to see Michael Imperioli gravy off of a TV show that went off the air 3-4 years ago.

He sees that Leyland lets Inge play 60+% of the time at 3rd hitting .180 so he figures if he starts doing the same maybe he'll get to play some too.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version
I remember one night a couple years ago where he had a walk-off walk and he stood there at home plate jumping up and down with his bat over his head. Someone had to tell him "hey, fuzznuts, you gotta go to 1st base".
EDIT: After watching the replay, I hope he remembered to step on home plate.

Follow up Santiago's heroics with a three run 8th inning rally to hold off KC, 5-4 on wednesday afternoon. Tigers now ar ein the EXACT same spot as in 2009: 26 games to go, 5.5 and 6 game lead over their chief competitors. The make up game is today with Jacob Turner going. Then, the 3 games against the Sox followed by three at Cleveland. We should know where we stand come next Thursday. The good news, though, in case we stumble is, the Sox and Indians have to play each other multiple times as well. 14 home games left. 12 on the road. Go 13-13 and finish at 88-74. That should be good enough to win the Central. BUT, the Tigers could also jump over Texas if they make a run, too, and finish with the 2nd best divisional record. Worth noting.
Interesting comments by Curt Schilling on ESPN baseball (NYY/Sox) last night. When setting up the series with the White Sox, (Sunday night on ESPN, BTW) it was noted that Detroit is streaky offensively, average defensively, and only has two consistent starters. "No chance" to advance in the playoffs if they win the division. On Chicago: "underperformed" all season, but still dangerous. Ozzie's job is on the line.
