The Detroit Tigers got a bit of good news late last week when it was announced that ace Justin Verlander signed a five-year, $80 million deal to stay with the team through at least the 2014 season.

It is getting to be a daily event here on JLABANNERS.com: saying goodbye to a popular Tiger.

Both [...]

I was talking with a fellow Floridian Tiger fan over the weekend and I told him that I still have not gotten over last month’s swoon.

Before I go into a long-winded diatribe about how frustrating the Detroit Tigers are to watch, I should probably introduce myself.
My name is Kyle Jekot and I grew up watching and loving Detroit sports.  I’ve always been a die-hard Pistons and Tigers fan and eventually jumped on the bandwagon of the Red Wings as [...]

The Tigers just completed another successful home stand. They beat Baltimore three out of four and put some distance between themselves and the third-place Minnesota Twins by taking two of three over the weekend.
