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

Brad Ausmus: The manager makes the list thanks to his usual array of head scratching decisions. Obviously, the Tigers need a leader capable of making the right moves with the lineup while having a personalty that can inspire. So far, Ausmus has left plenty to be desired on both accounts. Will the team replace him at any point in the second half? Probably only if the season spirals wildly out of control, but if Detroit has another average finish, the writing could be on the wall for a man who constantly struggles to get a feel for how to use his bullpen properly.

July 16 in Tigers and mlb history:

1909: At Bennett Park, the Tigers and Senators play the longest scoreless game in American League history. Ed Summers pitches the complete game, holding the Nationals to seven hits, two walks (one intentional), while fanning 10. The Nationals' 30-year-old rookie, Bill "Dolly" Gray, allows only one hit before leaving with an injury after eight innings. He is replaced by Bob Groom. Gray will put another entry in the record books next month when he walks seven straight batters. The 0 - 0 contest is called after the 18th inning.

1914: The Tigers, minus Ty Cobb who is nursing a sore thumb, knock out rookie Babe Ruth in the 4th inning and trip the Red Sox, 5 - 2. It is Ruth's first loss.

1952 - Walt Dropo gets two more hits, giving him 15 in four games, which ties the American League record.

1956 - A group headed by Fred Knorr and John Fetzer buys the Detroit Tigers and Briggs Stadium for a record $5.5 million.

1961 - Detroit regains first place with two complete game victories from Phil Regan and Don Mossi. Homeruns by Al Kaline and Don Mossi in the 11 to 1 win over the Kansas City Athletics. Then in the second game, homeruns by Rocky Colavito and Norm Cash lead Detroit to an 8 - 3 win. The Tigers have a record of 58 and 31.

1975 - Commissioner Bowie Kuhn is reelected for a 7-year term.

1985 AllStarGame: Lou Whitaker forgets his Tigers jersey, buys replica from stadium gift shop, w/ "1" added in Magic Marker.

1990: Alan Trammell hits walk-off HR to give Tigers 5-4 win over whitesox at Tiger Stadium.

1994: Detroit defeats Kansas City 13 - 7. Travis Fryman's grand slam powers the Tigers.

Look out baseball world, Justin Verlander has his fastball back.

Verlander induced misses against half the swings Royals hitters took against his heater (15 in all). He now leads the majors with a 26 percent miss rate against his fastball this season.

But the slider was also integral to his success. He threw 31 of them (a usage rate of 29 percent, his second highest of the season) and Royals hitters went 0-for-7 against them.
