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

Cabrera: I've got to talk to the trainers about that, talk with the general manager, talk with Skip. I don't make that decision (about DL).

Cabrera: Some days it's good, some days getting worse. You don't expect what's going to happen.

Cabrera: It's a physical problem and we play a physical game. You want to be out there and play 100 percent but that's baseball.

Cabrera: You don't want to get out of the game, you want to still there. Just keep battling and that's it.

Leyland on 2E: "Do what we have to do. I can’t predict what’s going to happen. If I have to put him out there at 3B, I’ll put him out there"

Leyland: "I was a little suspicious in batting practice, when I watched Miggy hit. We started him, but I could tell he wasn’t right".

DL now a possibility for Tigers Cabrera? "Not my decision," he said - but unlike last night, he did NOT say "I'm OK."

To those calling for Tigers to DL Cabrera: No one gets DLed on Aug. 31. Why commit to 15 days off when you can add players Sept. 1?

Cabrera: (Triple Crown's) individual part,you gotta think about how we're gonna get better as a team, how we can get better in the stretch.

Cabrera: You have to think about what is better for the Detroit Tigers.

Cabrera: You don't have to be selfish and say you don't want to go to the DL because you want to do something special.

Cabrera: I think it's a different story right now. I do anything I can to help my team to win games and that's it.

Cabrera: To be honest w/you, that's not my decision. You've gotta go to Dave Dombrowski, you gotta go to Kevin & ask that question.

Cabrera: can't say I'm gonna go to the DL or no because I don't know. You gotta go talk to them.

what's probable for Tigers Cabrera: Won't play on Saturday, but Tigers won't rush a DL decision. They'll decide about Sunday - on Sunday.

Cabrera: I don't want to be specific. I don't feel 100 percent.

Leyland: "I don't have any idea on the status. All I can tell you is when you pull a guy out one night, normally he doesn't start next day."

August 31 in Tigers and mlb history:

1906: Beset by injuries, the Tigers call 46-year-old Sam Thompson out of retirement; he drives in two runs in a 5 - 1 win over the Browns. Thompson, who last played in the majors in 1898, appears in eight games and bats .226.

1909 - The A.J. Reach Company is granted a patent for its cork-centered baseball, which will replace the hard rubber-cored one. This change will be particularly apparent in the National League in 1910 and 1911.

1932 - Detroit P Chief Hogsett hits two homers, as the Tigers end Tony Freitas' winning streak at 10 with a 5 - 4 victory over the A's.

1937 - Detroit's rookie Rudy York sets a new record for home runs in a month, hitting his 17th and 18th to eclipse Babe Ruth's mark set in September 1927. He knocks in seven runs against Pete Appleton as Detroit beats Washington, 12 - 3.

1943 - Detroit's Rudy York hits two home runs to bring his August home run total to 17, one less than his 1937 record for home runs in a single month, which he also set in August.

1957 - Steve Dalkowski, legendary minor league fastballer pitching for Kingsport (Appalachian League), strikes out 24, walks 18, hits four batters, and throws six wild pitches in a row. He loses, 9 - 8.

1977: Hank Aaron's mark of 755 career home runs is tied by Sadaharu Oh of the Yomiuri Giants of Nippon Pro Baseball.

1988: Arbitrator George Nicolau rules against the Major League owners in the "Collusion II" case, agreeing with the players' contention that the owners conspired to fix the free agent market after the 1986 season. Twelve players will be granted no-risk free agency after the season, as well as monetary compensation.

1988: The first-place Tigers try for pennant insurance: they acquire Ted Power from Kansas City and Fred Lynn from Baltimore for players to be named later.

1989: Arbitrator Thomas Roberts orders the Major League owners to pay $10.5 million in damages as a result of their collusion against free agents after the 1985 season.

1993: In a flurry of deadline trades, the Reds sent pitchers Johnny Ruffin and Jim Pierce to the White Sox in exchange for P Tim Belcher, the Dodgers trade OF Eric Davis to the Tigers in exchange for P John DeSilva, and the Cardinals trade P Lee Smith to the Yankees in exchange for P Rich Batchelor.
