Tigers Make the Cover of SI: Jinx or Affirmation?
Mack Avenue Tigers already beat us to this, and I know there's already been some discussion about this in the comments of our last post, but I think it's still worth posting here. Have you seen the cover of this week's Sports Illustrated? What do you think? Do you believe in The SI Cover Jinx? ...
Justin Verlander: Fast Pitches and Fast Toy Trucks
Yesterday's New York Times had a profile of Justin Verlander, written by Ben Shpigel. It was a possible preview to a pitcher the Yankees could face in the first round of the playoffs (twice, unless the Yanks opt for a longer series with an extra day off), and Verlander's success against them this...

Lunchtime Prowl: D-Train's Hip, Lambert DFA'ed, Brawl Photos, and Lots of Huff
Dontrelle Willis's rehab assignment is stalled before it could even get going. He was originally scheduled to pitch last night for Toledo, only to have it pushed back to Wednesday because of a sore hip. But that was soon nixed, as well. Until that hip feels better, the D-Train won't be...

Idaho State still losing to Idaho on FOXSports.com
Idaho State just cannot catch a break. Perhaps the biggest highlight from their Saturday loss at the hands of Idaho was WR Eddie Thompson's 17-catch afternoon. In fact, Thompson's performance was good enough to even sneak his name into honorary Heisman contention on FOX Sports' website. The only...

Now with FOXSports.com, Jon Paul Morosi writes about the prospective revival of Dontrelle Willis, not just as a baseball player but as a representative for the sport. Tiger Geist would love to see the Tigers and San Francisco Giants hook up on a trade. But the Giants really don't have a need...
Morning Prowl: Love for the CoPa, SI Covers, Sheff's Gift, and Funeral on a Ship
The New York Times' Tyler Kepner wonders why more people don't consider Comerica Park among the best modern ballparks. (He also takes a nice shot at the new Yankee Stadium.) Peter Abraham says the Yankees "look like a company softball team at times." Do they have a whiff of '08 Tigers to...
How Are the Mariners Doing It?
As miserable as last season was for the Detroit Tigers, they played well against the Seattle Mariners. Considering the M's lost 101 games, that's nothing to boast about. But the Tigers still finished 7-3 versus the Mariners last year, their best mark against any American League team. Yet coming...
Pettitte on Everett: "He's Really Impressive"
In today's New York Times, Tyler Kepner has a short write-up on Adam Everett for the paper's American League preview. Former teammates still rave about how good Everett is defensively. “It’s just amazing how quick he is,” said Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte, who played with...
