Ezequiel Carrera Does Jim Edmonds Proud With Ridiculous Diving Catch
Tigers outfielder Ezequiel Carrera laid out to rob Jacoby Ellsbury of a bases-clearing extra-base hit, and somehow snagged it in the heel of his glove. It was a damn fine catch....
Dave Dombrowski And Billy Beane Have An Entertaining GM Rivalry
There are few occasions when you want to hear from your team's general manager. Usually, he's explaining why something went wrong, talking about how the team's trying not to suck, or saying goodbye as he's fired. The best times, though, are in free agency and at the trade deadline—unless your GM's R...
Tampa Bay Station Makes Fun Of Detroit; Detroit Station Burns Them Back
In response to the Rays shipping David Price to the Tigers, Tampa Bay's FOX 13 made a joke at Detroit's expense. The joke is that Detroit is bad, you see. Do you get the joke?...

Just like Asdrubal Cabrera, Tigers outfielder Austin Jackson was reminded today that baseball is a business....
Detroit Tigers Land David Price In Three-Team Trade

Fucking Black Keys will probably do this tomorrow. Frauds. ...
Jack White Continues Unhappy MLB Tour With Batting Practice Photo
We saw a grumpy-looking Jack White at a Cubs game Tuesday, but he's apparently not done looking unhappy in baseball contexts just yet. Here he is, looking unkempt and generally uncomfortable as he takes BP at Comerica Park. You wish you could brood like that....
Adrian Beltre Gets 2,500th Hit, Unwanted Head Touching
Adrian Beltre collected his 2,500th hit in Tuesday night's game against the Tigers. (That's pretty impressive! He's only the seventh third baseman to reach the mark.) Miguel Cabrera was at first base to give him the ball and a quick touch on the head. Beltre, a man who hates having his head touched,...
Ian Kinsler Homers, Mocks His Former Teammates
Remember when Tigers second baseman Ian Kinsler turned his ESPN The Magazine profile into a platform from which to hurl molotov cocktails at his former team, the Texas Rangers, after he was traded to Detroit? It does not appear that time has done much to erode the animosity that Kinsler feels toward...
Victor Martinez's Sexy Dance Is Very Sexy
Is the bat supposed to be a dick? I think the bat is supposed to be a dick....
O.C.P. Now Stands For 'Opening Crap Pitch'
RoboCop threw out the ceremonial first pitch in Detroit today, and it was only marginally better than his latest movie. His appearance was supposed to coincide with an unveiling of the long-dreamt-of statue everyone wants to see planted in old Detroit, but alas, that didn't really come off, either. ...
Miguel Cabrera Touches Adrian Beltre's Head; Beltre Flips Out
Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre hates when anyone touches his head. When someone touches his head, a switch flips, and he gets so angry. He's always been like this, and it's always been hilarious. So, when Miguel Cabrera touched his head during a break in play last night, Beltre was unsurprising...
Yu Darvish Throws An Eephus Pitch, And Torii Hunter's Brain Breaks
In today's day game between the Rangers and Tigers, Yu Darvish got creative with an 0-2 count and two outs against Torii Hunter. The Rangers pitcher didn't get strike three, but he caused Torii Hunter to get a "Program Not Responding" message in his head....
Cleveland Fan Takes Baseball Square In The Face
This guy at the Tigers-Indians game tonight was really excited to get a baseball from Asdrubal Cabrera. In between innings, Cabrera launched a baseball into the bleachers and this dude ran in front of some folks seated in the area, leaped, and perfectly positioned his face to stop the ball dead in i...
The Tigers Will Not Turn Down For Anything
The Detroit Tigers capped off a series sweep with a 6-2 victory over the Red Sox yesterday, and they were clearly in a celebratory mood after the game. The tiger-striped zubaz sweatsuits are nice, but nothing beats Miguel Cabrera mean mugging in a TURN DOWN FOR WHAT shirt. ...
Tigers Catcher Alex Avila Takes Foul Ball To The Junk
Detroit Tigers catcher Alex Avila was probably, hopefully wearing a cup, but that doesn't mean this foul ball to the groin didn't hurt. The replay made it agonizing....
Austin Jackson Can't Comprehend The Greatness Of Miguel Cabrera
This is Miguel Cabrera celebrating his three-run go-ahead homer in the top of the ninth to put the Tigers up 3-1 on the Orioles. Austin Jackson can't fathom what Miggy just did to that baseball....
Umpire Taps Torii Hunter In The Face After Benches Clear
Umpire Paul Nauert gently slapped, or tapped, Torii Hunter in the face tonight during Detroit's game against the Orioles and it's kind of a strange thing. It seems harmless—obviously he did not injure Torii Hunter—but if the roles were reversed, and Torii Hunter put his hands on an umpire, we'd be d...
Phil Coke Serves Up A Home Run And A Fantastic Quote
The Tigers bullpen has not been good. So after Phil Coke came on in the ninth with a five-run lead and gave up a home run to Adam Dunn to cut the lead to two, there was little to do but laugh about the fateful pitch that tailed back over the plate....
