Hey, I copyrighted the term "Tigers' reverse-sweep" so don't forget to give the author his due credit or, in this case, discredit.

Sounds like it went through, Jhonny Peralta to the Tigers??

His career was "over 2 years ago" according to Mike Valenti. Not much.

edit: he's got a fat face.

.264 hitter, I'm glad they didn't actually try to improve on the batting avg.
Another below avg. hitter, he should fit in fine.

He'll move to SS once Inge gets back.

 

[Mr Tony]

wasnt he the guy who hit the inside the park HR against the tigers when the tiger CF crashed through the BP gate?

edit: yep he was

Tigers halfway to a reverse sweep in Tampa.

Your getting better, 5-3 Rays

Edit:

5-4
Cabrera with another BLAST !!!

 

[DetFan]

Yep and for the 2nd night in a row Cabrera is walked intentionally to load the bases, so they could face big Brennan Boesch..And again he stinks it up big time. Looks like he is fighting it pretty bad right now. Of course it might help to actually take some pitches at some point.. 15 minutes over or just a wall??

 

[TomCat4680]

Boesch is hitting .095 since the break. I've heard of sophomore slumps but never a second half slump.

 

[Sparkman]

Mariners 5 White Sox 5, bottom of 5 Ramirez & Konerko Back to Back

 

[Mr Tony]

edit: Tigers lose 7-4

Come on Seattle!!

 

[Mr Tony]

Twins have day off

 

[Sparkman]

White Sox win 6-5! 1 game lead over Twins, 5 over Tigers

Personally, I would give him a week off.
Then bring him back and bat him 3rd, in FRONT of Cabrera, this way he will see pitches, that would be the best way to get him out of the slump.

Currently he has NO ONE hitting behind him so he's not gonna get any pitches anyways.

Tigers season getting UGLY quickly ..... now 5 GB.

 

[TomCat4680]

[Jimbo]

Jeff Fraiser up from Toledo, Jeff Larish down to Toledo.

Next 20 games I see them going 5-15, 4-16.

[Mr Tony]

Twins get a closer
Washington's Matt Capps for a couple minor leaguers

Rauch will go as setup man now. With Duensing becoming a starter they needed a setup guy and Rauch can do that now (he seems to be better at that...he has struggled mightily lately)
