Playing Pepper with J. Ellet Lambie

When I began this blog about a month ago, I had no idea where things might go, or if anyone would even read it. What I have found so far, is that I truly enjoy sharing my thoughts about Detroit Tigers baseball with other fans and bloggers, and that at least of few of you are reading.

Recently, J. Ellet Lambie of Hazaa, asked me to participate in a segment he runs regularly called "Five for Fighting", where he and another blogger trade five questions and post each other's answers.

White Sox Hope Gordon Can Blast It Like Beckham

It’s only June 6, but it’s already been a big month for call ups for some of the game's top prospects.

Top prospects such as Andrew McCutchen, Tommy Hanson, and White Sox third baseman Gordon Beckham have gotten the call to the big club so far this month. Perhaps the most intriguing of those three is Beckham.

Could Kila Ka'aihue Get a Golden Opportunity with the Slumping Royals?

The Kansas City Royals are struggling big time. The pitching has been inconsistent, and the hitting has been horrible.

The Royals need help, but they're running out of answers. It's time for the team to make a move. Could it be to bring up a player from Triple-A? Or possibly make a trade to get a hitter?

My guess, at least for the short term, is they will call up first baseman Kila Ka'aihue.

Drive-By Argument: Can Detroit's Rotation Keep It Up?

Cliff Lee: The Pitcher The Milwaukee Brewers Should Acquire

The biggest topic of debate for Milwaukee Brewer fans lately has been whether or not the team should trade for Jake Peavy.

While the majority of fans seem to be against the trade, there are many that would love nothing more to see Peavy suit up for the Brewers. I fall on the side of staying away from Peavy, but I do have a thought on which pitcher the Brewers should bring in.

Series Preview: Kanas City Royals vs Tampa Bay Rays

Joyce celebrates his home run.

Kansas rolls into town for a three game series against the Rays. Since Tampa is playing better, we are dropping the Devils for the time being. The Rays looked strong against the Twins, taking two out of three.

Mariners' Most Tantilzing Trade Bait: Bedard, Washburn, etc

<!--StartFragment-->

The Mariners started off the 2009 red-hot and gave us all a glimmer of false playoff hope when they were a top the AL West at one point with a 15-10 record. We seemed to forget this was a team that was supposed to be in a full-blown rebuilding mode.
