Makes a little more sense now...I was thinking "Defends his teammates? He about got one of their heads taken off...that's not very defensive."

Yea, didn't mean that. And to be fair, if Weaver doesn't throw at Avila's head, I don't have an issue with him besides him acting like a 4 year old, however throwing at someones head is uncalled for.

Breaking news:

OFFICIAL_TIGERS Tigers have designated the contract of David Purcey for assignment. #tigers

So the good news is Purcey is gone, the bad news is, we got NOTHING for Scott Sizemore

GREAT win tonight.

Benoit blew a 3 run lead in the 8th after a solid performance from Max Scherzer, but in the bottom of the 8th, Brennan Boesch welcomed Mike Adams to the AL by having a great at bat that ended in a home run, Valverde comes in to get his 29th save in as many chances as expected of him!

Tommorow is Doug Fister's debut, he faces Matt Harrison

I've been out of town, but to recap the last 4 games.

Fister won his first game as a Tiger. Ogando beat the Tigers the next day for the 3rd time this season. The Tigers have won the first 2 games of a 3 game series at Kansas City and this afternoon its Scherzer vs Chen.

Tigers have their biggest division lead at 4 games on the season and are also a season high 9 games over 500.

Great time to be a Tigers fan right now!

Tigers just played in their 3rd straight 4-3 game.

Yea except for today they actually lost.I think the division is gonna come down to the wire between Detroit and Chicago,yes I said Chicago.Chicago has played under their level all year,it's just a good thing for the Tigers that the Yankees took them out 4 games in a row,carry on.
