With the current Tigers season spiraling into oblivion,
over at The Daily Fungo, in looking back at
the transitional season of 2005, Mike has been pondering Detroit's future. Today, well, the team has probably more questions than the ...
I'm sorry. That's it. I can't contain myself anymore. I have to say it. The majority of the MSM are fucking morons.
They are lead by the densest media whore around, the functionally retarded Rob Parker. Why did I score through "functionally? Because I've just read one of the worst God damn columns ever. And what was the subject that has me so riled up?
Parker decided to defend Gary ...

Garcia's on board, Sheffield's bitching, Verlander is being abused and the Tigers are slowly fading into the sunset when it comes to the pennant race. You know what that means, right? Burning questions? I thought you'd never ask! In news that broke this afternoon, free agent pitcher Freddie Garcia signed with the Tigers . Garcia, who not long ago was at the top of the White Sox rotation, is ...

I know exactly where you can find one.
My Detroit Lions season preview is up at Yardbarker.
As it's a Yardbarker exclusive, I can't reprint it at TWFE (or SLR, for that matter), so you'll just have to head over there to read my semi-lucid thoughts on the franchise Matt Millen has done his best to ruin. Feel free to give it a thumbs up bark!
For those of you who have better taste in ...

With the Lions hitting the field for the first time tonight, I've been busy at SideLion Report today. I know it's only an exhibition game, but it's my preseason too when it comes to following the Leo's, so I'm live blogging the (tape delayed in SE MI, God damn NFL rules) Lions - Giants game at 9 pm. So don't feel like you have to watch the Tigers blow another game. Watch the Lions blow a game ...

I'm at a loss. Much like the God
damn Tigers. A team that's playing out the string
from here on out. The Tigers out and out blow ANOTHER game, this time thanks to a White Sox 4 run rally in the bottom of the 14th inning. A 2 out, 2 run Nick ...
It's simple, really...
Kyle Farnsworth as a New York Yankee.
Kyle Farnsworth as a Detroit Tiger
The Tigers' bullpen as a whole... Like I said, simple.
Damn, the Tigers' bullpen, Bobby Seay excepted, is God awful.

I know we don't want to talk about it, as the wounds are still too fresh, but the Tampa series was the breaking point for much, if not all of the Tigers' fanbase. The playoffs may be a pipe dream after the Tampa debacle. The team is struggling, Leyland's pissed, the fans more so, they are closer to last place in the Central than first place and I'm actually looking forward to the Olympics ...

Talk about a heartbreaking, soul-crushing defeat. A game that was all but over, until the Tigers' bullpen blew up in a most spectacular, and painful to watch, fashion. Was today's loss in Tampa the nail in Detroit's coffin? I'm not sure, but with a bullpen doing its best imitation of the Titanic, it may well have been.
You can give Jim Leyland grief for some of his decisions ...

Has there been more polarizing Tigers trade than the Pudge Rodriguez for Kyle Farnsworth deal? Many fans think the Tigers could/should have gotten more in return, prospects would have been preferable to a setup man or trading a first ballot Hall of Fame catcher is something you just don't do. Others believe it's too early to throw in the towel on the season, so something HAD to be done about ...

Remember those awful days in 2005, when the Tigers weren't expected to contend? During the first half of that season Alan Trammell instituted the FUP Plan in the late innings. Kyle Farnsworth in the 7th, Uggie Urbina in the 8th, and Troy Percival closing. It sounded good in theory, but as was typical of the Tigers of that era, it didn't work out. In fact, it blew up. Percival hurt his arm, ...

According to good friend of TWFE, Matt Dery, he just announced on WDFN that Pudge Rodriguez has been traded to the Yankees. I just tuned to ESPN News, and Buster Olney says the Tigers will in return get...Kyle Farnsworth? Ex-Tiger setup man and total head case Kyle Farnsworth?
I can understand trading Pudge. But to the Yankees, and for Farnsworth? Ugh.
Have the Tigers just waved ...

There's now a pair of Kwame's in Detroit.
One is an overpaid, lazy dissappointment. The other...Hell, I'm
talking about both Kwame's, the Pistons' Brown and the city of Detroit's Kilpatrick. Let's break down the winners and losers in a battle ...
Kwame Brown? This Kwame Brown? The Kwame Brown of KwameBrownSucks.com and TradeKwame.com ? The never came close to living up to his 1st overall draft status Kwame Brown? Which Kwame will be hated more in Detroit? The reviled in every town he's ever played in Kwame Brown? The first word out of my mouth was, "Huh?" The second was, "What?" The third was, "Fuck." Christ, we all ...

But "DFA his useless fucking puff ball throwing
homophobic washed up ass immediately" comes close. Damn close.
What little goodwill Jones may have had left with the Detroit fanbase evaporated the moment Jermaine Dye's fly ball left ...

Again, I have to ask. Just how big
is this weekend's series with the ChiSox? Bigger than
the the right center field gap at Comerica. Bigger than Miggy's gut. Bigger than Magglio's hair care bills. Bigger than Pudge's statue of ...
Just wanted to pass along that good friend of TWFE, Sports Radio 1130 WDFN, is now broadcasting their 11th Annual Stoney and Wojo Radiothon for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Head to WDFN.com to stream their feed, and to check out the auctions.

Armando Galarraga continued to impress today against the hapless Royals , pitching 6 perfect innings, and going 7 full, in winning his 8th game of the season. Arrrrrrrrrrrmando (As Samara likes to call him, give or take a few R's) is now 8-4, with a 3.27 ERA. He leads Detroit's starters in ERA, is tied for the team lead in wins and looks for all the world to be on his way to becoming a ...

I believe this is my first WNBA post. It's likely my last as well, but if this is how WNBA games end...Well, I may end up changing my my mind.
Would you expect anything less than a take on all comers, bench clearing brawl from a team coached by Bill Laimbeer and Rick Mahorn?
Way to live up to the Pistons' Bad Boys legacy, Shock!
