3/25/15: For the past seven seasons, you could simply pencil in Justin Verlander as the starting pitcher on Opening Day for the Detroit Tigers. However, for the first time since 2007, someone else gets the call. It is not Max Scherzer because the Tigers lost him in free agency to the Washington Nationals. Instead it is new toy David Price. Price certainly has the pedigree for the job. He is a former Cy Young Award winner and started Opening Day in Tampa three times. Still, it is strange not to see Verlander out there and that may be a hint that the Tigers hope to move him sometime during the season.
3/18/15: The Detroit Tigers are gearing up for Opening Day and they must have some revenge on their minds this year after being outshone by the upstart Kansas City Royals last season. Slugger Victor Martinez has been seen around the Tigers spring training facility taking batting practice and there is a chance that he will be ready to play by the start of the regular season. In other news, many people thought this occurrence actually happened several years ago, but they would be wrong. What was the event? Former Tigers and Marlins pitcher Dontrelle Willis, nicknamed the D Train, decided to retire.
3/11/15: Left-handed aces do not come available very often, mostly because teams generally do not want to let one go if they have one. The Detroit Tigers have one in James Shields, who they acquired from Tampa Bay at the trade deadline last season. He is in the final year of his contract and says that he would be willing to discuss an extension with the Tigers, even during the season. Price is not going hungry right now by any means, he is making nearly $20 million this season. He will likely top that number, and possibly even the total value of Max Scherzer's $210 million deal in his next contract.
3/4/15: The Detroit Tigers are going all-in this season in hopes of capturing their first World Series since 1984. They return most of their core players, though the big exception is Cy Young winner Max Scherzer, who signed a mega-deal in Washington. Losing early in the 2014 playoffs is still a sore subject. But what is not sore is Miguel Cabrera. He said he felt good after a hitting session last week. Cabrera had a down season in 2014 - though that would still be a career year for most players. It was not until the season was over that anyone knew how injured he was. If he is fully healthy, then the Tigers should repeat as AL Central champions.
2/18/15: Fans of the Detroit Tigers tend not to like comments of how Miguel Cabrera regressed in 2014 compared to 2012 and 2013. It is not to say that Cabrera was bad or even average, it is only that it was not as good (though still great by normal player standards) as his previous two years. Cabrera was injured for much of last season, which makes his numbers even better. There is some good news here. He got rid of his walking boot a month ago and has been working out. He may be ready to get into the next step of his rehab soon and could possibly be ready for opening day. And a healthy Cabrera is probably one of the best three players in the game.
2/5/15: It is not often that Victor Martinez plays catcher. In the past two season, he has caught just five games - or just over 1 percent of the time. Martinez is hanging on in the American League with the Tigers primarily as a designated hitter. However, manager Brad Ausmus admitted that Martinez could be an option behind the plate when the Tigers visit the Pittsburgh Pirates in mid-April, where there will not be a designated hitter. That notion hinges on Miguel Cabrera being healthy and playing - and that is by no means guaranteed. Amazingly, Cabrera had another tremendous season in 2014 and was being held together with duct tape and spit by the end of the year.
1/14/15: Detroit got a lot out of pitcher Max Scherzer over the past few years - pretty much every award except a World Series. Now he is not only a free agent, but the best free agent of this offseason. Rumors have him aiming at a $200 million contract. The Tigers not only want him back, but according to one anonymous executive 'have to have him back'. Well, so much for leverage. Scherzer may well return to the Tigers, but other teams are interested too, including St. Louis, which is his home town. But, then again, $200 million is an awful lot of money to invest in one player.
1/21/15: Who knows if the Tigers will be able to bring Max Scherzer back next season as he is the prized (and most expensive) free agent available this offseason. However, the Tigers were able to avoid arbitration with James Shields and agreed to a one year deal worth almost $20 million. Price will be a free agent at the end of the 2015 and is expected to command big money - possibly in the $150 to $200 million range. Now, if the Tigers can hold on to Scherzer, they should have a great, if not ridiculously expensive, rotation.
1/7/15: The Tigers have been conspicuously quiet during the offseason and have not made many moves other than the big 11-player trade with Arizona and Tampa Bay. But the big question with them is what to do about the best free agent this offseason, Max Scherzer. Scherzer was brilliant with the Tigers for the past few years and has the Cy Young hardware to prove it. He remains unsigned but the Tigers are not closing the door on him. The problem is that he may cost $200 million to land, and the Tigers already gave out a nine digit contract last year to Cabrera.
11/19/14: The Detroit Tigers have one of the most potent rosters in all of baseball and they are aiming to keep it that way. The Tigers are in 'win-now' mode, which is evident by the four year, $68 million re-signing of designated hitter Victor Martinez. Some may question giving a four year deal to a 36 year old, but the man can hit. They want to keep ace Max Scherzer, but he has a lot of suitors and is the top free agent this offseason. What they have not done is upgrade their bullpen. If the last few years have shown anything, it is that a solid bullpen is now key to winning championships.
11/12/14: The Detroit Tigers, like just about any MLB team, would love to have Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer in their rotation next season. Of course, he is a free agent and will command a couple boatloads of money to get his services. The Tigers may re-sign him, but he will not accept the $15.3 million qualifying offer because he will make much more as a free agent. The qualifying offer means that the Tigers will get a first round draft pick as compensation from almost anyone that signs him. Pitching is very expensive, and even without Scherzer, the Tigers are looking at a rotation that will cost them over $80 million next season.
11/5/14: The Detroit Tigers showed they have some money to throw around as they picked up the option year for reliever Joakim Soria. The Tigers bullpen was a mess this season and easily was the weak point on the team, so spending $7 million on a guy with no clearly defined role (7th inning? 8th inning? Closer?) is an odd choice. The Tigers maybe should have kept that money to re-sign ace Max Scherzer, who is now the top free-agent in all of baseball. It is anyone's guess where Scherzer will end up, but we do know that he won't come cheap.
10/29/14: It has been known for some time that Tigers star Miguel Cabrera was playing with bone spurs in his ankle, and it was expected for those spurs to be removed surgically once the season ended. It was. What was not known was that Cabrera also had a stress fracture in his foot and that too required surgery. The injuries may have caused a down year (by his standards), but still one of the best statistical seasons in Major League Baseball. Cabrera is due to be re-evaluated in three months, which is just before spring training. Hopefully, all will heal well and he will not get a late start to next season.
10/22/14: Through four months of the 2014 season, the Detroit Tigers looked like serious contenders, if not the team to beat in the American League. The Tigers faltered down the stretch, but did outlast the Kansas City Royals in the AL Central, only to be eliminated by Baltimore pretty quickly. Much of the blame was put on the bullpen. That seems to be the number one priority for next season, though closer Joe Nathan will return. According to GM Dave Dombrowski, Nathan will be on a 'short leash'. If he can return to his old self of three years ago, then Detroit should have little to worry about and may be playing this time one year from now.
10/15/14: It seems kind of hard to believe that outfielder Torii Hunter is 39 years old and has been playing Major League Baseball for 19 years. But he is and he has. He hinted at retiring after the Tigers were eliminated from the playoffs a couple weeks ago by the Baltimore Orioles. Now he seems to be softening his stance, claiming that he will not retire if the Detroit Tigers want him back. While his defensive skills have declined with age, he can still hit. He posted a .286 batting average with 17 home runs this past season. There is nothing on the books yet, but the Tigers may want to bring him back one more time as the team still has a great roster.
10/8/14: The Tigers, at least on paper, had among the best rosters in the majors this past season, but struggles all season to establish and hold a lead in the American League Central. A key problem was the bullpen, who surrendered too many late game leads. Moves to bolster the maligned unit did not help much. This trend continued into the playoffs and ultimately was a major reason why the Tigers were swept by the Baltimore Orioles in the first round of the playoffs. This offseason may be spent looking for bullpen help, though an extra bat in the lineup would not hurt either.
10/1/14: It took a bit longer than originally expected, but the Detroit Tigers finally punched their ticket to the playoffs. Detroit is simply loaded with talent, both offensively and with their pitching. While former Cy Young Award - winner Justin Verlander has not been the dominant force this season as he has in past years, he is still better than most. Max Scherzer has emerged as a true ace over the past two seasons, and having a dominant 1-2 punch like that tends to play well in October. There are not many holes on the team, the only real question mark being the bullpen. If the back end holds up, then the Tigers may be looking at a World Series in their near future.
9/24/14: The Tigers should have taken care of the American League Central weeks ago, but a prolonged slump kept them from their destiny. At the same time, this is a team loaded with weapons and excellent pitching, and they will likely be in the playoffs. They got a big boost by taking two of three from the Kansas City Royals last weekend, which widened their lead to two games in the division and all but ensured they would be in the playoffs. Just a few more days and this will all be over, and then the Tigers can focus on the playoffs, for which they are built.
8/28/14: The Tigers are in the middle of playoff chase, so they do not need games like last week's to throw them further off course. As everyone knows, Detroit made the biggest pitcher trade at the trade deadline to acquire former Cy Young Award winner David Price from the Rays. Price got to face his old team and was simply outstanding. He allowed one hit over eight innings. But he lost. That one hit drove in a run (from a previous error) and Detroit lost 1-0 to Tampa. That is a rare feat on its own, but certainly stings while Detroit is now chasing Kansas City for the AL Central title.
8/21/14: Just a few weeks ago, it looked like the Tigers were in a cake walk to another AL Central title. Sure, the Kansas City Royals put up a nice little run in June, but that was just an anomaly that happens in a 162 game season. The Tigers loaded up at the trade deadline as well, so what could go wrong. Well, the Royals are on another run and have taken the top spot in the division. Even worse is that the Tigers are slumping as a team and have actually dropped into a tie for a wild card spot. Should this keep up, there is a chance that the Tigers, despite all of their talent and payroll, may end up missing the playoffs altogether.
8/14/14: The talk around the American League since the Tigers acquired ace David Price from the Rays is that the Tigers and A's are destined to meet for the third consecutive year in the playoffs. Both have beefed up their pitching staffs and, if the series does happen, then there may be a bunch of low-scoring games. The Tigers may have to get past the Kansas City Royals, who are in first in the AL Central (at least at the moment), but should have enough fire power to get some separation in the division down the stretch. And then it just comes down to getting to the American League Championship Series.
8/7/14: The Tigers stunned all of baseball by flying under the radar and making a last minute, three-way trade to acquire ace pitcher and former Cy Young Award winner David Price from Tampa. The Tigers sent pitcher Drew Smyly and prospect Willy Admaes to the Rays, while also sending center fielder Austin Jackson to the Mariners. This looks like a move set up by the Oakland A's acquiring both Jon Lester and Jeff Samardizja - which could set up an amazing playoff series in October. And for the record, the Tigers have eliminated the A's from the playoffs the last two years
7/31/14: The Detroit Tigers continue to own the AL Central. At this rate, there is very little chance that the Tigers will get caught by the Royals or Indians (or anyone else). But they are not flawless, and the most glaring flaw is the bullpen. The Tigers brought in reliever Joakim Soria to help shore up the closer role, and that may have motivated Joe Nathan. On Monday, Nathan pitched a perfect ninth, striking out all three batters he faced to secure the save. And he did it on only 12 pitches. If he rebounds to his normal level, the Soria may just become one of the better set up men in the business.
7/24/14: Well, this is nice to see. The Detroit Tigers extended their spring training commitment to Lakeland, FL through the 2036 season. The Tigers have been going to Lakeland since 1934, so this will put them over the Century Mark. Lakeland is about halfway between Orlando and Tampa. If you have ever been there, then you would know that there is not much to see. But in an age when teams are moving to state of the art camps, it is gratifying to see a team show loyalty. As part of the agreement, the Tigers and the city (through various agencies) will proved $37 million worth of upgrades to the stadium.
7/17/14: Every year, there seems to be last second injuries to players elected to the All-Star Game, forcing a quick substitution. Sometimes, those injuries seem questionable and skeptics may think that the player would rather have a four day rest than play an exhibition match. That is not the case for Victor Martinez. He has been out since July 4 with soreness in his side and back. But the Tigers can be proud that they are providing his replacement, as Ian Kinsler gets the nod. Meanwhile, Rangers fans must be shaking their heads as Prince Fielder is out for the season.
7/10/14: The Tigers had a bit of scare a few weeks ago when the Kansas City Royals went on a 10 game winning streak and Detroit's bullpen seemed to implode every time they were called upon to finish out a game. But that is in the past now. The Tigers have rebuilt a comfortable four game lead in the division and have won seven of their last ten games. And it gets better. The line up is at full strength again as designated hitter Victor Martinez is back. He missed the entire series against the A's with soreness in his ribcage, but seems to be just fine now.
7/3/14: Maybe the Detroit Tigers got a bit bored and careless, and maybe they just needed a wake-up call to snap themselves out of their June funk. That wake-up call came in the form of the Tigers' bullpen imploding on a regular basis and the Kansas City Royals going on a 10 game winning streak to (briefly) take first place in the AL Central. But order has been restored and the Tigers are 8-2 in their last ten. They have regained control of the division and now have a 4.5 game lead on the Royals and a 6.5 game leado on the Indians. Whatever it was, it now appears that the season is going according to plan again.
6/26/14: The June Swoon has hit the Tigers hard this year and they need to do something soon to right the ship. It was not too long ago that Detroit had a comfortable lead in the AL Central and the Royals were doing anything they could just to score a couple runs each night. The tide has certainly turned as the Royal rattled off 10 consecutive wins while the Tigers slumped. Starting pitcher Justin Verlander has really struggled this season to the point one wonders if he is healthy or injured or fatigued. Detroit can still score, but now they actually have a negative run differential.
6/19/14: The Tigers are stumbling a bit as we head into the dog days of summer. One of the issues they have had is at shortstop. After losing Jose Iglesias, they tried to put in Alex Gonzalez and Andrew Romine. Now Euginio Suarez is getting his shot and may have solved the problem. In his first eight MLB games, he hit .400 with three home runs and eight runs scored. Sure, it is a small sample size and will likely come back to the mean. At the same time, it is a welcome relief to the team. Now the Tigers need to focus on getting their bullpen in shape so they are not nervous about holding on to a 10 run lead.
6/12/14: Like the Dodgers and Yasiel Puig, the Tigers had a scare when their best player had a small injury over the weekend. Miguel Cabrera left Sunday's game with a hamstring injury, but returned to the lineup on Monday. Cabrera has not had the dominating start like last year, or so it would seem. It is true that he started a bit slow this season, but has really picked it up. He is hitting .372 with 10 home runs and a 1.068 OPS in the last 43 games, and still among the top 10 in American League offensive categories.
6/6/14: The season is already in June, which means that July is right around the corner. That means that the trading deadline is coming (sort of). The Tigers are already in a comfortable spot in the AL Central. They have a five game lead and no one in the division has the horsepower (or seemingly the will) to contend with Detroit. The Tigers are looking at another postseason in a few months, but they could still use a little more fire power to get them to the World Series. There is a lot of speculation that the Tigers will try to trade for Cubs pitcher Jeff Smardizja, which would certainly give them a top notch rotation - perhaps enough to win it all.
5/29/14: Maybe GM Dave Dombroski was right after all. Dombroski traded away slugger and popular player Prince Fielder to the Texas Rangers in the offseason and got Ian Kinsler in return. The teams traded big contracts, so there was no read monetary advantage in trading Miguel Cabrerra's batting protection. Fielder just announced that he will undergo back surgery and will miss the rest of the year. Kinsler, however, has been outstanding this season and is one of the best hitters in the American League. He is providing more than enough protection for Cabrerra. Shrewd move, Mr. Dombroski.
5/22/14: The Tigers came under a lot of criticism several weeks ago for giving star Miguel Cabrerra an enormous contract extension, even though he had multiple years left on his current contract. For the first month of the season, the critics had a lot of fire power behind them as the former Triple Crown winner struggled out of the gate. But he has been outstanding for the past month. Where he hit only .206 in his first three weeks, he has batted .361 since. His strike out percentage is down and he is showing his old form. The Tigers do not need old production, but it certainly helps in the postseason.
5/15/14: The Tigers honored former manager Jim Leyland in a pregame ceremony last Saturday, and three of his former stars thanked him in their own way. Pitcher Max Scherzer held the visiting Twins at bay in the 9-3 win, while Miguel Cabrerra and Victor Martinez each hit three run homers in the win. It was only Cabrerra's fifth home run of the season. Martinez has been hot lately. That homer was his eighth of the season and fourth in the past six games. Detroit holds a comfortable 4.5 game lead in the AL Central, a division that is really theirs to lose this season.
5/8/14: If anyone is going to make a move on the Detroit Tigers, then they should probably do it now. The Tigers are about to blow open the AL Central Division. They have gone 7-3 in their last 10 games, while no other team has fared better than 5-5. The Tigers have benefited from a favorable schedule so far, playing 14 games at home versus only 10 on the road. However, there is no reason to think that anyone else has the firepower to catch them, even this early in the season. Detroit seems destined to another playoff birth, and perhaps, that elusive World Series title.
5/1/14: The Tigers easily have the most talent in the AL Central, and (realistically), this is their division to lose. Detroit is leading the division, but the margin is not very comfortable so far. Minnesota is only a game back. The White Sox and Royals are two out, and even cellar-dwelling Cleveland is 2.5 games (or one weekend sweep) out of the top spot. That means that the Tigers have to be very sharp. It does not help that starter Anibal Sanchez left last Saturday's game with a blister on his finger. He has been placed on the 15 day DL, and the team called up Justin Miller from Toledo.
4/24/14: The Detroit Tigers are expected to win the AL Central this season. Not just 'picked to win', but actually expected to capture the division crown. The Minnesota Twins are still hot on their tails, but it is also very early in the season. One key piece is closer Joe Nathan. Nathan has not been himself this year and admits to a 'dead arm' period. The good news is that Nathan says he feels better now. It may be under-rated, but having a competent closer is very important to contenders, because teams that can not close out games do not go far in October.
4/17/14: The Detroit Tigers took a lot of criticism for trading off hit machine Prince Fielder to the Texas Rangers for Ian Kinsler and some salary relief. Likewise they took a lot of criticism for signing star Miguel Cabrera to a long-term extension when he had two more years left on his contract. However, both moves are paying off right now as the Tigers are at the top of the AL Central once again. Somehow, they have already played four less games than the White Sox. Expect this lead to continue and for the Tigers to be in the middle of October excitement once again this year.
10/4/12 For the first time since 1967, there is a triple-crown winner in baseball. Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera is the first man to achieve the feat since Boston Red Sox great Carl Yastrzemski. He is also the first latino player to do this. Cabrera finished the season with a .330 batting average, 44 home runs and 139 RBIs. He beat Josh Hamilton for the home run title by 1 and the RBI title by 11. Cabrera held off rookie phenom Mike Trout to win the batting title by four points. He and Trout are currently the front-runners for the AL MVP trophy. Cabrera has also lead the Tigers to the AL Central division crown and will play the Oakland Athletics in the divisional series seeking his second World Series trophy.
10/2/12 Justin Verlander was named the American League Pitcher of the Month for September. He finished the month going 5-1 with a 1.93 ERA in six starts. Both his win total and ERA were tops in the league. He also tied for first with 41 strikeouts in 42 innings. Verlander?s impressive September helped clinched the American League Central title for the Detroit Tigers. The 29-year old is in contention to win his second straight CY Young award and finishes his season 17-8 with a 2.64 ERA and a Major League Leading 239 strikeouts. Verlander will pitch Game 1 of the American League Divisional Series against the Oakland Athletics.
The Tigers has no answer for Twins starter Samuel Dedono as Detroit dropped a 9-3 ball game to Minnesota on Monday night at Target Field. Annibal Sanchez got the start for Detroit and lasted 5.1 innings, allowing five earned runs on twelve hits and a walk. He also added three strikeouts over the course of 102 pitches to earn his third loss since being traded over to the American League. Offensively, Johnny Peralta, Miguel Cabrera and Delmon Young all had runs batted in for the Tigers. Despite only collecting six hits, they got them when they counted as the team hit a solid .333 with runners in scoring position. Unfortunately, however, it was not enough to earn them a much-needed victory on the road.
Behind a solid start from Rick Porcello, the Detroit Tigers squeezed out a close 6-5 victory against the New York Yankees on Wednesday night at Comerica Park. Porcello pitched 6.2 innings, allowing three earned runs on eight hits and zero walks. He also picked up three strikeouts en route to his ninth win of the season thus far. Jose Valverde came in for the ninth, and despite allowing two earned runs, picked up his 22nd save of the season. Offensively, Miguel Cabrera added his 29th home run of the season, a solo shot in the fourth inning off Yankees starter Phil Hughes. Johnny Peralta and Andy Dirks also added runs batted in in the victory. Overall on the day, the Tigers were 2-7 with runners in scoring position.
After two straight excellent starts, Max Scherzer struggled and the Tigers could not recover as Detroit dropped a 7-3 ball game to the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Monday. Scherzer lasted 6.1 innings, allowing five earned runs on seven hits and two walks. He also added nine strikeouts, but raised his season earned run average to 4.62 so far on the year. Offensively, Austin Jackson blasted his 11th home run of the season, a solo shot in the first inning off Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz. Miguel Cabrera and Alex Avila each also had runs batted in in the losing effort. Overall on the day, the Tigers hit a paltry 1-10 with runners in scoring position.
Max Scherzer earned his 10th win of the season on Wednesday night as he led the Detroit Tigers to a 5-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians. Scherzer pitched seven strong innings, allowing just two earned runs on three hits and four walks. He also added eight strikeouts over the course of his 105 pitch outing. Jose Valverde came in for the ninth and, despite giving up a home run, needed just six pitches to earn his 19th save of the season. Offensively, Miguel Cabrera, Austin Jackson, Prince Fielder and Quentin Berry all drove in runs in the victory. Overall on the day, the Tigers hit a strong 4-15 with runners in scoring position.
Despite a so-so outing, Jacob Turner earned his first victory of the season on Sunday as the Detroit Tigers defeated the Chicago White Sox by the score of 6-4. Turner lasted 5.1 innings, allowing three earned runs on seven hits and zero walks. He also added three strikeouts over the course of his 81 pitches. Offensively, Quentin Berry, Miguel Cabrera and Brennan Boesch went deep, with Cabrera adding two personally on the day. The home runs marked his 299th and 300th as a major leaguer. Overall throughout the game, the Tigers were a solid 2-6 with runners in scoring position.
The Detroit Tigers lost a close one on Wednesday night against the Kansas City Royals by the score of 3-2. Justin Verlander gave the Tigers eight strong innings, allowing only two runs and striking out seven, but once again the Detroit offense failed to give their ace much run support. After a Brennan Boesch two-run home run tied the game up in the eighth inning, Joaquin Benoit came in for the ninth and surrendered the game winning run on an infield single from Chris Getz. Jonathan Broxton came in and closed it out for the Royals in the bottom of the ninth.
After losing two of three to the New York Yankees in the Bronx this past weekend, the Detroit Tigers fell to 11-11 on the season and are currently tied for second place in the American League Central division, sitting just a game below the division-leading Cleveland Indians. Sluggers Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder have been as advertised; Fielder leads the squad with a .309 batting average, while Cabrera leads with seven home runs and 20 runs batted in. The team will go to Kansas City to play the Royals on Monday at Kauffman Stadium. Duane Below will pitch for the Tigers and will be in search of his third win on the season.
As many predicted before the 2012 season even began, the Detroit Tigers sit atop the American League Central with a 10-6 record through the first 16 games. Ace Justin Verlander has regained his dominant form from seasons past, leading the pitching staff with a 2-1 record, 1.72 earned run average and 31 strikeouts in 31 innings pitched.Opposing hitters are hitting a paltry .157 against the reigning A.L. Cy Young award winner and Most Valuable Player. Newcomer Prince Fielder has adapted quite well to the American League, hitting .317 with 2 home runs and 8 runs batted in so far this season.
After a stellar 2011 campaign, the Detroit Tigers did not let up during the offseason and signed slugging first basemen Prince Fielder to a mammoth nine- year, $214 million contract that keeps him with the team through the 2021 season. Picking up right where they left off, the Tigers began the season with a 3-0 after sweeping the Boston Red Sox in the opening series. Miguel Cabrera finished the series with an impressive .455 batting average, 3 homers and 8 RBI's in his first three games, while Fielder added 2 home runs as well. Ace Justin Verlander also added 8 strong innings of one run ball in the season opener.

Detroit Tigers Tickets - June News
The Tigers have had an exciting season thus far to say the least. They've been inconsistent but when they're hot, they're really hot. As of June 8th, the Tigers sit at second in the American League Central,1.5 games back of the Cleveland Indians. Things are trending upwards, though, as the Indians are just 3-7 in their last ten games while the Tigers are 8-2. The Tigers have been battling the Indians for first place all month long. They're being led by ace pitcher Justin Verlander, who has posted a microscopic .76 ERA and 47 strikeouts since May 29th. Other big factors in the Tigers recent upswing have included Brennan Boesch, Jhonny Peralta, Victor Martinez. Fans are hoping they can hold it together in the second half of the season and return to the playoffs for the first time since their magical 2006 run to the World Series.

Thursday, May 13, 2010
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (May 13, 2010) - Several members of the ETSU baseball team spent Wednesday afternoon reading to second grade students at Southside Elementary in an effort to give back to the community.
"Today was a great day for our players who visited Southside Elementary," said head coach Tony Skole. "Our players really enjoy spending time with the youth of our community, and realize the positive impact that they can have on their lives. I'm not sure who had more fun today, our players or the second graders."
ETSU baseball players have been active in the community in many ways this year including coaching and umpiring fall league baseball games, visiting the Niswonger Children's hospital and mentoring local youth.

The rocket came in fast, maybe 900 feet per second—too fast for anyone to sound the warning siren, and much too fast for all the troops of the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force to take cover. It was March 21, 2007, when the 73-millimeter insurgent-launched rocket exploded inside their base in the Al Anbar province of Iraq, right next to Corporal Dustin Jerome Lee and his canine partner, Lex. Lee, a 20-year-old Mississippi native, was gravely wounded by the blast. Lex—a German shepherd trained to sniff out hidden explosives—was also injured, his brown and black fur burned, shrapnel lodged in his back and spine.
Marines on the scene watched as the bleeding Lex climbed on top of Corporal Lee to protect him from further harm. They saw Lex try to revive his master by licking his wounds. And the Marines who rushed to their comrade's side had to peel Lex reluctantly off the young corporal so medics could try to save him. But Corporal Lee's injuries were too severe; he died at a nearby military hospital.
A few days later, two uniformed Marines arrived at the Lee family home in Quitman, Mississippi, to deliver the news of the corporal's death. "After the Marine Corps representative told us everything that happened," recalls Dustin Lee's mother, Rachel (pictured above with Lex), "my next question was—and I'll always remember it—'What about Lex?' "
The Marines seemed puzzled. "We're not sure," they said. "We know he's alive. Why?"
"The more we talked, the more I wanted Lex to be at Dustin's funeral," she says. "After hearing that Lex climbed on top of Dustin as they both bled…Lex and Dustin shared a bond, and now that bond is a blood bond. Lex was the last to see my child. I wanted him there at the funeral with me."
What explains this powerful human-animal connection? What makes a wounded dog protect his dying partner—and what makes a grieving mother want that faithful canine companion at her son's funeral?
Humans have long been fascinated by the other animals with whom we share this planet. Our distant ancestors started painting horses and the fearsome aurochs (which humans would eventually tame and breed into the contemporary cow) on cave walls tens of thousands of years ago. Animals both wild and domesticated adorned ancient pottery and jewelry, and joined our ancestors in their tombs.
Today animals still enchant us, perhaps more so than at any time in history. There are roughly twice as many pets in American households as there are children under 18. Forty years ago Americans owned about 40 million pet dogs and cats in a nation of 200 million people; today our pet population has more than quadrupled, as the human population has grown to 300 million. Sentimental books such as Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World and Marley & Me have become New York Times bestsellers. We knit for our dogs and serve lobster to our cats. And when our pets become ill, we're ever more willing to spring for veterinary care. Ailments that used to be death warrants—cancer, a broken hip, kidney failure—are now often successfully treated. "When I first went into practice [in the late 1980s], ten was pretty old for a Labrador or golden retriever," says Jeff Wells, D.V.M., the author of All My Patients Have Tales. "Now I often see those breeds at 14, 15 years old."
But even though we've benefited from the loyalty, intelligence, and labor of animals for thousands of years, humans are only beginning to understand why we feel such strong attachments to specific members of other species. Over the past ten years intriguing studies have started to reveal the evolutionary, social, and biochemical reasons that people and animals are such fast friends—and offer the rudiments of an explanation for the amazing phenomenon of animal heroism.

"The protection of the Fort Ord area will maintain its historical and cultural significance, attract tourists and recreationalists from near and far, and enhance its unique natural resources, for the enjoyment of all Americans." - (President Barack Obama; April 20, 2012 -Ford Ord National Monument Proclamation).
The Fort Ord National Monument holds some of the last undeveloped natural wildlands along the Monterey Peninsula, over 35 species of rare plants and animals and miles of world-class recreation trails. The BLM is committed to managing this treasured landscape in a manner that honors the nearly 2 million soldiers who passed through the gates of the former Fort Ord, and those who were here prior to our nation's soldiers.
The National Monument currently contains 7,212 acres of open land that are managed by the BLM, and 7,446 acres that are managed by the Army and undergoing a munitions cleanup.
Once this cleanup is completed, the Army lands will be transferred to the BLM and available for public use and enjoyment.
Reuse of the former Fort Ord is guided by the community-based Fort Ord Reuse Plan that was prepared by the Fort Ord Reuse Authority and approved by the local government. The Reuse Plan strives to strike a balance between providing opportunities for economic recovery following the base closure, and preserving/protecting open space across the former 28,000 acre military installation. The 14,658 acre National Monument encompasses undeveloped former range areas and maneuver areas.

Facchina Construction Company, Inc., the subcontractor responsible for pouring concrete at the Silver Spring Transit Center, is among five bidders for the second phase of Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority's Dulles Metrorail Project.
The rail line — known as the Metro Silver Line — will include stops at Reston Town Center, Herndon, Innovation Center, Washington Dulles International Airport, Route 606 and Route 772, all in Virginia. Phase 1 to the Wiehle-Reston East Station is expected to open by the end of the year.
The five teams selected to bid on Phase 2 of the project are Bechtel Transit Partners, Capital Rail Constructors, Dulles APC Railbuilders, Silver Line Constructors and Dulles Metrorail Connectors — which consists of construction companies Skanska USA Civil Southeast/Granity Construction Company, G.A. & F.C. Wagman, Inc./Trumbull Corporation and Facchina Construction Company, Inc.
La Plata-based Facchina Construction, LLC did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
Marcia McAllister, communications manager for the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project, did not return a request for comment.
According to a MWAA press release, "The teams were selected following a Request for Qualifications Information, a process intended to emphasize design and construction experience and professionalism and produce a short-list of up to five qualified teams to proceed to final bidding."
The award, according to the release, will be made to the team that submits an acceptable technical proposal and lowest price. The award is expected to be made in May and the contract estimated cost is $1.4 billion to $1.6 billion. Completion for the project is expected in mid-2018.
Facchina has had its hand in multiple Montgomery County projects, including the Intercounty Connector and the Silver Spring Transit Center, a nearly $120 million transit hub project on the corner of Colesville Road and Wayne Avenue in downtown Silver Spring. The project was expected to open in 2011, but a series of cracks and disparities in the thickness of the concrete at the center have delayed the project's opening by nearly two years so far, and it's unclear when the center will be open for business.
John Markovs, deputy county attorney, told The Gazette last month that Facchina "admitted the concrete pour strips" in the middle level of structure were "not code-compliant" back in August 2012.
David Dise, director of the county's Department of General Services, said in the same meeting that Facchina acknowledged last year that the thickness of the structure's concrete was not up to code in some areas.
Facchina has also done work on the ICC, which has had cracking in its bridges. Facchina worked on Contract C of the project, which includes the three-level interchange at Route 29 and an interchange at Briggs Chaney Road. State Highway Administration officials said cracks were observed during "routine inspections" and were caused by miscalculation by designers. In order to fix the bridges, high tension steel rods were added inside to ensure the long-term lifespan of the bridges, said Ray Feldmann, who noted the cracks were never a safety concern.
While fixes have been made in the Contract A and Contract B sections of the ICC, Valerie Burnette Edgar, director of the Office of Customer Relations and Information at SHA, said the contract designer does not believe there are any problems in the Contract C portion, though they plan to use similar reinforcement out of caution.

In a crash that deploys the driver's front air bag, the inflator of the air bag can rupture, causing metal debris to strike vehicle occupants. Dealers will replace the front driver's air bag module free of charge to correct the concern.
BMW Recalls
The fuel pump may fail due to improper nickel plating during manufacturing. This can cause the engine to stall while driving. The dealership will replace the fuel pump free of charge to correct the problem.
These vehicles use a vacuum pump to supply power assist to the braking system. Due to insufficient lubrication this vacuum pump may fail. Failure of the brake vacuum pump would result in a reduction in braking power that could increase the risk of a crash. In order to correct this concern, dealers will install a locking ring in the camshaft to retain the camshaft seal disk in the proper location. This will ensure proper oiling of the vacuum pump. Note: This recall is an expansion of an earlier recall.
Upon deployment the passenger airbag inflator could rupture, increasing the risk of personal injury. BMW dealers will replace the affected airbag inflator modules to correct this concern.
This limited regional recall is for vehicles currently registered or first sold in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and equipped with Takata-brand air bag inflators. Upon deployment the driver and/or passenger airbag inflator could rupture, increasing the risk of personal injury. BMW dealers will replace the affected airbag inflator modules to correct this concern.
The bolts that secure the housing for the variable camshaft timing adjustment unit can loosen over time and possibly break, causing engine damage and engine stalling. Dealers will replace the four bolts for both intake and exhaust timing units free of charge to resolve the concern.
The front passenger seat contains a mat that determines the presence and size of a seat occupant. This input to the airbag controller helps to determine if and how forcefully the passenger airbag should deploy in the event of a crash. The detection mat can develop cracks and fail. If this were to occur, the airbag would not deploy as expected, increasing the risk of personal injury. Dealers will repair the occupant detection mat to eliminate the possibility it may crack. Additionally certain vehicles will receive and extended warranty on the front passenger seat occupant detection mat.
These vehicles use a vacuum pump to supply power assist for the braking system. The vacuum pump can fail unexpectedly due to insufficient lubrication. This would reduce braking efficiency, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will make modifications to allow for proper lubrication of the vacuum pump in order to correct this concern.
Increased resistance at the electrical contact points may cause damage to the ground terminal and housing of the connector. This can result in an intermittent or permanent loss of one or more rear lamp functions (tail, brake, turn-signal, reverse). Intermittent light operation reduces the ability to warn other motorists of the driver's intentions, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the rear lamp bulb carriers to correct this concern.
The fuel filter on vehicles with a diesel engine is equipped with an electric heater to warm the diesel fuel in cold climate conditions. This heater could experience and electrical overload and fail to turn off as designed. Having the fuel heater stay on while the ignition is off could result in a dead battery. The heater could also overheat and potentially cause and electrical fire. Dealers will replace the diesel fuel filter heater on affected vehicles to complete this recall.

We're kind of enamored with this airy muslin scarf from Indian-based textile brand Aish. It's soft, it's stylish (not to mention suitable for all seasons), and it's woven with tradition. Known as jamdani, this traditional Bengali weaving technique is one of the most time-consuming methods of textile production, requiring whisper-thin yarn that's spun and dyed by hand. The looming is an equally intensive process, with intricate designs created from memory. Jamdani saris and scarves have a reputation for being the finest threads in the region. It's well-earned.
100% cotton.

INDIANAPOLIS – A Florida-based company is set to pay Indiana more than $1.6 million to resolve allegations that it fraudulently "robo-signed" mortgage related documents.
Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller joined 43 other attorneys general and the District of Columbia in a $120 million multi-state settlement with Lender Processing Services, Inc. (LPS). Indiana's lawsuit and proposed consent judgment was filed Thursday in Marion County.
The consent judgment, if approved by the court, settles allegations that the company, which primarily provides technological support to banks and mortgage loan servicers, "robo-signed" documents and engaged in other improper conduct related to mortgage loan default servicing. "Robosigning" is where documents contain unauthorized signatures or may contain inaccurate information.
"Consumers trust that their home loans will be treated fairly and accurately, but cases like this erode the public's confidence in the system," Zoeller said. "Today's settlement underscores the states' continued efforts to make sure companies are held accountable for their actions and homeownership, one of our most important assets, is protected."
When entered by the court, the judgment would require LPS and its subsidiaries, LPS Default Solutions and DocX, to reform its business practices and, if necessary, to correct documents it executed to assist the homeowner.
The consent judgment requires proper execution of documents and prohibits signatures by unauthorized persons or those without first-hand knowledge of facts attested to in the documents. Also, the judgment requires enhanced oversight of the default services provided and a review of all third-party fees to ensure that the fees are reasonable and accurate.
In the proposed settlement, LPS stipulates to important facts uncovered in the investigation, including the practice by DocX of so-called "surrogate signing," the signing of documents by an unauthorized person in the name of another and notarizing those documents as if they had been signed by the proper person, as well as other improprieties in the document execution and recordation or filing process.
Once the judgment is entered by the courts, LPS will undertake a review of its roughly 3.5 million mortgage-related documents that it executed during the period of Jan. 1, 2008 to Dec. 31, 2010. The purpose is to determine what documents, if any, need to be re-executed or corrected. If LPS is authorized to make the corrections, it will do so and will make periodic reports to the attorney general of the status of its review and/or modification of documents.
If a person's property records contain documents executed by the company during the period of 2008 to 2010, the documents will be identified as part of the review process. The fact that an individual's records may contain a document executed by LPS does not necessarily mean that they are defective or invalid or legally impacted in any way. LPS will also setup a toll-free number – to be made available on their website www.lpsvcs.com – for consumers to request review and correction of any documents executed by the company from any time period. Consumers with questions can also call the Indiana Attorney General's Office 1-800-382-5516.
Zoeller said Indiana's monetary portion of the settlement will be used for consumer education efforts, as well as, to reimburse the office for costs of the investigation.
The following states joined in today's settlement: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming and the District of Columbia.

Teaching philosophy
While developing my teaching philosophy, I believe in emphasizing a healthy balance to life, school and work. I encourage optimism, compassion and advocacy for those in need.
A Personal Note
My personal joy is in being a mother to Tyler and Daniel and capturing life through pictures. My boys are a whirlwind of energy and knowledge and they teach me many things. The most importantly has been to stop and be in the moment! I am also excited to be a part of international travel with CSS and the HIM Department. My travels to India in January 2011 and Germany 2014 were extraordinary; visiting hospitals, villages, schools and universities. I was very fortunate to be a part of something so unique and interesting!

Fireflies in the Garden
In this haunting family drama of recrimination and reconciliation, Lisa Waechter is at the center of the story playing a beleaguered family matriarch who has subordinated her needs and desires to those of her family, particularly her cold, demanding husband. Lisa's sudden death brings her entire clan together and triggers a series of flashbacks that reveal how the seeds of today's discontent were planted years earlier. Juxtaposing past and present in a fluid, lyrical, and emotionally resonant manner, "Fireflies in the Garden" shows us that, while family is hard to live with, it is impossible to live without.

It's the time of year when most of us are kicking it up in high gear to get everything done: tree trimming, shopping, decorating, cookie baking, card writing and the list goes on. I was beginning to feel the frantic nature of the season recently until I spent several hours talking with members of The Compassionate Friends (TCF).
The national group, which has a Fort Wayne chapter, provides support to families after the death of a child. On Sunday, members of the group, their friends and family joined at First Presbyterian Church for a candle lighting service, an annual event TCF sponsors across the nation.
TCF members have given me a new perspective of the season, causing me to be more reflective and appreciative of the loved ones in my life, and to have a better understanding of the challenges the bereaved face at this time of year.
No matter where the bereaved person is in the grief process, and no matter how long ago the death of their child or the circumstances of the death, the parents, grandparents and older siblings are welcome. Some are referred to the group by hospitals or a funeral home. Some, like Joe Annis, come to TCF reluctantly at the outset.
Annis' sister, Katie, died unexpectedly of heart failure on July 8. His parents started attending TCF first and asked Joe to join them for the October TCF meeting. October was Katie's birth month. She would have been 24 this year. At TCF meetings, families are encouraged to share about the child they have lost during the child's birthday month.
"I thought, 'Do I really want to do this kind of thing?'" Annis, 29, says. "I really didn't want to go, but went to support my parents."
At the time, "I was having tons of problems, mostly because I felt like I had to be the strong one in the family," he says. "I watched my parents crumble, watched my sisters crumble. I felt I had to be that person who held everyone together. Because of that, it was hard for me to grieve."
He expected to sit quietly and stoically, but surprisingly found the words and pent-up feelings poured out.
"I balled my eyes out that night," he says. Sharing his pain and perspective helped others.
"The question I always get from people is, 'How are your parents doing?' followed by, 'I can't imagine what they're going through,'" says Annis, who is a nurse and medical informatics specialist at St. Joseph Hospital. "People say there's no love you'll ever feel like that for a child. Well, I loved my sister. I know my sister loved me. I wanted people to understand that."
His words helped others, too.
"The biggest thing out of that meeting was that there was only one other person there who was a sibling" he says. "I think it helped the parents there see what their children were feeling."
Healing takes time
Michelle Amstutz is further along in her grief process. Still, the wounds of losing her son Josh at age 22 are raw.
Certain things trigger tears, even though it has been more than five years since Josh died in a motorcycle-truck accident in rural Fort Wayne. Amstutz and her husband, Keith, are TCF Fort Wayne Chapter leaders.
"The first year you are so numb," she says.. It's hard to grasp that this is the life you are living. Then you start to thaw. You realize you are among the living and that you must go on, but as a parent you feel guilty that you're still here."
Even when grieving parents or siblings begin allowing themselves bits of happiness, "You think you should be feeling pain. You want to feel pain. It takes a while to learn that it's OK to be happy again," Amstutz says.
Some turn to harmful ways of coping — alcohol, withdrawal, lashing out, for example. TCF does not replace professional help, but aids bereaved families in positive resolution of their grief. TCF also provides community education for employers, professionals and anyone impacted by the death of a friend's or loved one's child.
Some who contact the group may never attend a meeting in person but find help via emailing members and through TCF educational materials.
For Amstutz and her family, the annual candle lighting ceremony is a soothing balm at an especially difficult time of year.
"We dread September through the end of December," she says.
September was the month Josh died. November was his birthday — and now songs on the radio ring out phrases such as, "It's the most wonderful time of the year."
"Keith and I knew people who had lost children, but we could never comprehend the intense pain," Amstutz says. "It's like you're stabbed in the heart, or your arm is cut off. Grief is like a chronic illness. I feel like I'll always be a bereaved parent. We're changed people."
This Thanksgiving was the first one without Katie for Annis and his family. Though she was not at her usual place at the table, he wanted to acknowledge her, to remember the joy she brought and not to ignore the elephant in the room.
"When we were saying grace before dinner, I said something about Katie," he explains. "I wanted to get it out there, to mention her." He finds comfort when people talk about Katie rather than avoid her name.
"I have many, many days when I'm angry. I have absolutely terrible days," he says, adding TCF is helping him get through, as is his faith in God. "It's OK to question God and stuff, but you've got to get that stuff out. People are afraid to feel good again, but you have to move on. You have to make new memories.
"Katie would want that."

Well have you worked out how you are going to get the pivots to work?
They have to be able to rotate perfectly with each other at the same time then when you stop leaning return to their upright position. Also I think you are going to hit your legs on the ski posts, after all the foot pegs are attached to them. They are vertical where your legs angle up to your hips.
The skis have to be able to rotate front to back so they can ride over bumps or they will spear into a mound of snow and you will go over the bars. When in the air gravity will make the front of the ski point towards the ground. If you land like this over the bars. Take look at some other designs you will see a lanyard attached to the front of each ski.

bungee chords! And I'm beginning to think that I might put the vertical box section on the rear leaning in.
Bungee cords.
Well if you offset the connection bracket to counter balance the ski's weight you will not have to completely rely on the cord. You can test the position with maths or trial and error.

On the subject of heat treating the frame, filler metal is an important consideration. 4043 or 5356 filler metals are not likely to have the same response to heat treatment as the base metal, so the weld metal will be the weak link. 4643 filler metal is designed for welding 6XXX series aluminum with post weld heat treatment.
The T6 aged condition strength is due to precipitation of alloying elements (magnesium and silicon) in the aluminum. If you weld in the T6 condition, the heat affected zone will lose strength due to overaging. The heat treater will solution anneal the frame to re-dissolve all of the precipitates, then artificially age the material to T6 temper again. Solution annealing requires a quench and can result in distortion of your weldment. If you weld in the naturally aged T4 temper you can age the frame to T6 without having to solution anneal first.

I've found a place where I might be able to buy the aluminium in T4 so hopefully that'll work out. I need to order the metal ASAP so will order more than necessary, as I said I'm going to overbuild, strength is more important than weight. Do you think 2mm without a heatreat will be ok or should I do the heatreat or/and use 3mm?
None of us can tell you what to do we can only advise. After all this is your design.
Bill was not suggesting you use T4 he was just filling in some gaps.
As he stated the T6 process will distort or buckle the frame and that is why mountain bike frame builders don't post heat treat.
Seeing how there is no shock absorbers in your design here is a test you can do that may help with thickness choice.
Get a 2mm thick flat bar and a 3mm thick flat bar.
Put one in a vice, drill a 10mm hole in it, slide a 10mm steel round bar or bolt through the hole, now place a steel channel over the flat bar so the legs of the channel are resting on the round bar only. Take a 10 kilo weight and drop it onto the channel from a set height say 1 meter. Remove the bolt and see if the hole is now oval shaped. Measure and record elongation. Repeat the process for the other flat bar. Increase weight and height dropped until you get a result. This will be what happens in the rear swing arm area of your frame but with more force and with more times done.

Fulfillment: I will tell you later
Nature: I will tell you later
I finally get my wife interested in sex with another man, and even better she knows someone who might be interested , a relative of one of the people she cares for on her nurse round, younger by 7 years and also married, hes asked her out before ... a week or so later she drops a hint to him and they arrange to meet at a local pub, she dresses in black lingerie and although nervous leaves to meet him .... lying in bed that night is torture ... thinking of them together ... by 2am ...well past closing time i accept that sex has very probably happened or is still happening ... at 4am she creeps into bed "are you awake" ..... all i can say is "well" ... she whispers "yes"
...they had met as arranged and after a few drinks had driven to the countryside, there they talked and finally kissed, my wife was unsure of telling me everything but i wanted all the details, they had undressed and after moving the passenger seat down had made passionate love, fully naked with him in between my wifes legs, he had cum in her twice and after they had talked about making it a regular thing, his wife was un-aware and not so into sex with small breasts, my wife was obviously more interested and busty.
They meet now once or twice a fortnight, and have had sex in a hotel and at his house whilst his wife is away, sometimes just for a dinnertime quickie, but each time its exciting when i get to hear the details, and get to see the pictures she takes on her phone, pictures of his large cock entering her, his cum on her breasts and stomach..... his backside inbetween her legs .. muscles clenched as he pushes.
And i love it .....
