Detroit Tigers' ninth-inning rally falls flat; Jim Leyland takes blame for 'miscommunication'.

Leyland, lamont, Santiago = 3 stooges.

Just read the article. Inexcusable. That's how divisions are lost.

August 10 in Tigers and mlb history:

1911 - The Detroit club announces that a new grandstand, costing $300,000, will be built for the 1912 season.

1915: In Washington, Detroit 3B Ossie Vitt is hit by a Walter Johnson fastball and, after being knocked out for five minutes, leaves the game with a concussion. A rattled Johnson then allows four runs in the first inning, two runs on a 2-run homer by George Burns, and another four through the 6th inning to lose (he will be 17-2 at home this year). Ty Cobb, observing Johnson's fear of hitting a batter, will begin to crowd the plate on the Washington ace from here on. Cobb will average .435 for the rest of his career against Walter, after topping .222 only once in the previous eight years.

1924 - Ty Cobb steals second base once, third base twice, and home once in the Tigers' 13 - 7 win over Boston that puts them on top in the American League.

1966 - Chuck Dressen dies of a heart attack in Detroit, age 67. He had managed the Tigers earlier in the season.

1971: Sixteen baseball researchers at Cooperstown form the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR), with founder Robert Davids as president.

1995: The Tigers trade P Mike Henneman to the Astros in exchange for a player to be named.

1999: Major league umpires drop the federal lawsuit which they filed July 26.

2001: The Royals defeat the Tigers, 7 - 3, in a game marked by a 6th-inning brawl set off when Kansas City 1B Mike Sweeney charges Detroit P Jeff Weaver after Weaver calls him a profane name. Numerous punches are thrown as both benches and bullpens clear. After a 12-minute delay, the game resumes with Sweeney, KC coach Al Nipper, and Detroit coach Doug Mansolino ejected from the contest. Sweeney will be suspended 10 games for his actions, and Detroit catcher Robert Fick eight games. Five other players and four coaches will also be disciplined.

Miguel Cabrera, Henry Aaron, & the Judge.
from HighHeatStats

Miguel Cabrera is in his 10th season. compared his 10-year totals (projecting his 2012 rates to a full season) with those of Henry Aaron, who also debuted at age 20.
Aaron was without question:
a better hitter than Cabrera (8 points of OPS+ is significant);
a much better baserunner; and
a far more valuable player, considering defense.
That said, their hitting totals are still interesting.
