Topics:
Multiple choice question. Why aren't the Tigers winning?
Jim Leyland doesn't like the approach he sees at the plate...when watching on TV in clubhouse.
When you have a roster full of free swingers, shouldn't we expect stretches when the roster isn't hitting?

What in the HELL happened to Octavio Dotel in Seattle?
Closer issues are not just a Detroit problem.
In his first start back from the DL, Doug Fister was pulled after 7 shutout innings and 73 pitches. Why?
Leyland's strategy to get Ryan Raburn hitting is to move him up in the order and play him every day.
Andy Dirks goes up the batting order, Brennan Boesch goes down. Who says Leyand won't tweak the order?
Jeremy Bonderman is contemplating a comeback, has Tommy John surgery.
Cole Hamels admitted throwing at Bryce Harper, and was suspended for 5 games. Leyland says it wasn't enough.
Changing stupid baseball rules.

Brandon Inge hits three-run home run to help send Detroit Tigers to 11-4 loss.
from Mlive

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Inge is the first player to have four games of at least four RBIs in a five-game span since Lou Gehrig in 1931.
and first A's player to hit two grand slams in three games since Jimmie Foxx did it in September 1932.

May 12 in Tigers and mlb history:

1971 - Ex-Tigers great Heinie Manush dies in Sarasota, Florida, at the age of 69. Manush won the American League batting championship in 1926, and twice led the league in hits. A lifetime .330 hitter, Manush gained induction to the Hall of Fame in 1964.

2001: Major League Baseball is ordered by arbitrator Alan Symonette to reinstate nine of the 22 "resigning" umpires let go two years before, and to grant back pay for the time missed.
