Tigers face daunting task: 10 games in 10 days on road.
from the freep

The Tigers are 8-13 on the road since the All-Star break.
This will be the fifth and final trip of nine games or longer, and the Tigers haven't finished any of the previous four with a winning record.
They went 4-5 and 4-6 on two trips in May, 5-5 in June and 3-6 in July.

Tonight in Anaheim, Calif. the Tigers play the first of 10 straight games on the road. The trip lasts 10 days, spans three cities, and covers more than 4,100 miles as the crow flies. When the Tigers next play at home Sept. 18, there will be 16 games left in the season.

Bless You Boys Tigers blog Podcast 55: We're all internet baseball experts.

Topics:
Tigers sweep the White Sox, but lose 2 of 3 to the Indians, are 1 game back of the Sox as they leave on a 10 game road trip.
The Tigers can't win the division on this coming road trip...but a disastrous one could lose it.

No one wants Delmon Young to sit. 6 weeks ago the fans wanted him DFAed. Make up your minds!

Jim Leyland thinks we spend too much time analyzing his lineups.
Fans apparently want fire and brimstone from their manager. Leyland calls that sort of act phony, cosmetic and "eye wash."

Lynn Henning believes this could be Leyland's last season. Not because Leyland will be fired, but due to his being a 68 year old man with nothing to prove who is tired of the BS. Henning might be on to something...
Kurt's column: Pitching should push Tigers to Central title.

Why can't Tigers fans have nice things? The team is playing .600 ball in the 2nd half, yet fans are still upset.
Max Scherzer won't win the Cy Young, but he will get votes as he pursues 20 wins.
Miguel Cabrera has a legit shot at the Triple Crown, yet is still considered to be runner up to a slumping Mike Trout in the AL MVP race.

Rosters expand, the usual suspects get the call. The only real surprise was the trade of Jeff Baker and making Avisail Garcia playoff eligible.
Garcia will play for the Tigers in 2013. The question is, will be it on opening day or later in the season?

This week in media idiocy was going to feature Mitch Albom's latest Tigers piece, but it was incomprehensible, so we just moved on to more important subjects.

Indians' closer Chris Perez rips ownership for being cheap and the front office for not making trades, considers the Tigers Gallant to the Tribe's Goofus.

The Nationals will shut down Stephen Strasburg for the season next week, use Rick Porcello?s 2009 season as part of their case study.
Seems the only people defending the Nationals benching of Strasburg are their fans and Washington DC media, as the rest of baseball ridicules them..

The return of the lightning round features Delmon-staches, Hannibal Lecter and a Rogo shout-out.
 
Former Tigers manager Les Moss passes away.
Les Moss, who helped manage Tigers greats such as Alan Trammell, Lance Parrish and Jack Morris on their way through the minors before getting his shot as Detroit skipper in 1979, passed away last week following a lengthy illness. He was 87.

Moss spent 13 seasons as a Major League catcher from 1946-58 before making his name as a Minor League manager in the White Sox organization. He served as an interim manager in 1968 and spent four years on the coaching staff in Chicago.

Moss came over to the Tigers organization in 1975 and led Double-A Montgomery to back-to-back Southern League titles, including with Parrish and Trammell in 1976. He followed Parrish in 1977 to Triple-A Evansville, where he worked with a fiery right-hander in Morris.

Moss' success in Evansville earned him the chance to replace Ralph Houk as Tigers manager in 1979. He led Detroit to a 27-26 record, but with Sparky Anderson available after his firing from Cincinnati, the Tigers made the change in June.

Moss stayed in the game, working as a pitching coach for the Cubs and Astros in the 1980s.

Cabrera, Trout play out MVP chase on same field.
Miguel Cabrera and Mike Trout, two of the game's brightest stars, face off this week in a crucial series between two playoff contenders currently on the outside looking in.

Cabrera and Trout enter the series in a virtual tie in batting average (.330) as they duke it out for the American League MVP award. With a lot of buzz surrounding both players entering the series, the two hitters will take center stage with a chance to bolster their cases for the award.

The Tigers slugger overtook Trout for the OPS lead a few days ago and he is hitting .368 over the past 10 games. He homered on Wednesday against the Indians and he opened up September batting 6-for-16 with seven RBIs after winning AL Player of the Month in August.

He is fourth in the AL in homers with 35, second in RBIs with 116 and fourth in runs with 89 as he makes a case for AL MVP honors.

His toughest competition comes from Trout. The pair rank toward the top in most offensive categories.

The rookie outfielder leads the AL with 108 runs, 44 stolen bases and he has 24 homers and 75 RBIs. The phenom didn't even make his debut until April 28, which gave Cabrera an extra month on him this season.

Cabrera's MVP-case was aided the last time the teams faced each other. Trout was held to just an infield single through three games in Detroit at the end of August and he'll face much of the same pitching this series.

Max Scherzer fans nine, but Detroit Tigers lose on a walk-off to Los Angeles Angels.
from Mlive

Scherzer reclaimed the MLB lead in strikeouts from teammate Justin Verlander when he fanned Albert Pujols for strikeout No. 210 this season.
He finished with nine strikeouts -- the MLB-leading 13th time he's done so this season. It's the most for the Tigers since Mickey Lolich did it 15 times in 1971.

The strikeout also broke the Tigers' single-season strikeout record of 1,116, topping the 1968 and 2011 franchise record.

The loss dropped the Tigers to 30-36 on the road ? where they will play five more games than they will the rest of the way at home.
They've lost 12 of their last 17 road games.
