Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

Miguel Cabrera is day-to-day after being diagnosed with a sore left hip flexor.
Cabrera will be re-evaluated on Tuesday, but it sounds like the Tigers have dodged a bullet here. The slugger apparently suffered the ailment while running the bases in the top of the fifth inning and was removed during the bottom of the frame. He figures to miss at least a game or two just to be safe.

July 23 in Tigers history:

1922: When umpires Brick Owens and Tom Connolly miss a train, the Detroit and St. Louis trainers, Bits Bierhalter and Dan Howley, are pressed into service.

1926 - Detroit and Washington take the unheard of time of two hours and 40 minutes to play nine innings. Detroit's 19 hits give them a 9 - 6 win, but much of the time is consumed by manager Ty Cobb's arguing over a balk call, then trying to have a heckling fan removed from the stands.

1959 - With Ty Cobb in the stands, the Tigers make 15 hits to beat the Senators, 11 - 2. Harvey Kuenn, the American League's leading hitter, is 4 for 4 and scores four runs with 3 rbi. The second leading hitter in the league Al Kaline is 4 for 5 with 3 runs scored and 2 rbi.
Jim Bunning allows four hits to win his 9th of the year.

1961 - Using 21 pitchers, the Tigers (11) and A's (10) set an American League record for most hurlers used in an 18-inning doubleheader. At 3 hours, 54 minutes, the second game is the longest 9-inning contest in AL history. The entire doubleheader lasts six hours, 50 minutes, a major league record. The Tigers sweep, 6 - 4 and 17 - 14, taking first place by one percentage point. Game 1 the Tigers are led by Norm Cash's homerun and 3 rbi. Game 2 the Tigers Norm Cash with 4 hits, 4 runs, and 5 rbi, Rocky Colavito with 3 hits and 4 rbi, and Al Kaline with 3 runs and 2 rbi lead the 17 hit attack.

1971 - Mickey Lolich loses his 100th decision for a 132-100 career record.

2000: Cooperstown, delivers first baseman Tony Perez, manager Sparky Anderson and Reds announcer Marty Brennaman into the Baseball Hall of Fame along with 1975 Red Sox World Series rival Carlton Fisk. Also enshrined are 19th Century Cincinnati second baseman Bid McPhee and longtime member of the Detroit Stars and one of the Negro Leagues' most prolific sluggers star centerfielder Norman 'Turkey' Stearnes.

2012 - The Marlins send Anibal Sanchez and Omar Infante to the Tigers for three players and a draft pick.

Tigers 7 - White Sox 3 ? In a duel of the All-Star Game?s starter and winner, Max Scherzer bested Chris Sale over 8 innings by each, yielding 2 singles and 2 solo shots, and Detroit pulled away late to seal his 14th win. Scherzer?s control offset Sale?s 11 Ks; the Sox southpaw was scintillating, but the 3 runs that scored on 2-out RBI singles by Prince Fielder (in the 3rd) and Victor Martinez (5th) were set up by 3 walks, 2 going to Miguel Cabrera. Miggy left the game in the home 5th with a sore hip; he?s missed only 3 games since the start of 2011, and less than 40 in his 11-year career.
?Martinez had 4 singles, 2-3 with RISP. He?s hitting .425 this month, with 14 RBI in 18 games, and I?m baking a fresh batch of crow. He still has no power, but a .300 singles hitter behind Cabrera and Fielder is all they need.
?Two of the 4 runs off Sale were unearned, and 5 of the 7 total. Two miscues by SS Alexei Ramirez gave him 16 errors this year, 2 more than his 2011-12 average.
?Chicago?s 39-57 record is their worst at this point since 1987. They?re on pace to lose 96, which would be their worst since the Bicentennial.

Miguel Cabrera is really hurting -- and this, folks, is why the Tigers would be wise to start waking up before August.
