The interesting thing about fantasy Tigers is that even though you want the Tigers to win and every player to do well, you definitely want your own guys to be getting counting stats, and you cheer extra for your own guys! Look at the ever-so-slight difference in team batting average this week! Every hit matters! The…
The Tigers were looking for just their second three-game winning streak of the year, and needed a strong series to distance themselves from the defending Central League champions, who have shown signs of waking out of their early spring slumber. Game 35 – Friday, 5/6: The last time the Tigers’ starting nine’s average age was…
While I dream that the 2016 Tigers will win the pennant, I am also fully aware that playing with such a young lineup means there will be a lot of growing pains, mistakes, and losses. The previous series against the BayStars showed us several times that wins would not come easy. (We won the first…

Let me start off with my personal story. A friend of mine, who is a Tigers fan, said he wanted to take in a game before he left for the States at the end of the month. I found seats to Tuesday’s game despite it being a sellout. I’m pumped. Then I get word from…
The season is a month old now and we are starting to see players shuffling, others scuffling and yet others breaking out. The original fantasy draft (in order) can be seen here. We have gotten into a good groove in which we are updating things weekly now. Keep in mind that farm teams (marked with…
