Monday Mankowskis: Labor Day Edition

Today, after the Tigers lost another game in which they took an early lead, I was convinced they had a losing record when they scored first. Not so. With today’s loss they are 41-25. Why does it seem worse? A year ago today Brandon Inge hit a grand slam off the Rays’ Russ Springer to […]

Saturday Snacks: A Mea Culpa Trio

Now that we’re in the final month of the season I suppose it’s time to call myself out on some declarations, predictions and general comments I made earlier this season that amounted to a whole lot of nothin’. In no particular order… Brandon Inge. I owned up to this one on the podcast with Ian […]

Tuesday Tananas: Fred Lynn, Ted Power and Don Draper

Is it just me or were there a lot of Aug. 31 trades made back in the day? Back in the late ’80s and early ’90s it seemed that Oakland was always adding a big name at the deadline — Willie McGee, Ruben Sierra, Harold Baines. Just asking. The last time the Tigers made any […]
