The first star is... surprising. I think it should've went to Bourque. He scored the game winner, and he assisted the game-tying goal.

Anyways, the Red Wings only need one more win!

James Van Riemsdyk has a point in all but one playoff game.

Alexander Ovechkin hit the goalpost when the game was still scoreless.

You can sort of disregard some statistics. I have 5 minute periods, mostly because I anticipate the off-season.

The second Red Wings goal had to be reviewed.

Game 54 vs. NYY

The Tigers had absolutely no trouble taking care of the Yankees, again.

Doug Fister is now 14-0 after today's start where he struck out 10, despite giving up 2 in 7 innings.

Curtis Granderson's 2 RBI single accounted for the only Yankee runs.

On the other hand, a tweaked Tigers lineup produced 9 runs. Miguel Cabrera and Adam Jones homered.

The Tigers have one more game against the Yankees before hosting Cleveland. Then, interleague play resumes...

Game 53 vs. NYY

This evening's star was simply the Tigers offense.

Ricky Romero dealt K's from the mound (10 of them), but the Yankees made him work, and he only went 5 innings. 5 guys were used from the bullpen.

Ian Kinsler teed off early with his 20th home run of the season. Prince Fielder doubled twice and had 4 RBI. Adam Jones and Andre Ethier also had RBI doubles.

Robinson Cano scored both Yankee runs in the loss.

The Tigers' win streak is now up to 8, and the odds are in favor of the Tigers tomorrow as the undefeated Doug Fister takes the mound again.

Game 52 @ BOS

Both starters faced their former team, although Beachy only spent part of Spring Training with the Tigers.

All the scoring was done early. Technically, Miguel Cabrera's 2 run bomb in the first scored the winning runs.

Beckett had another complete game shutout. His ERA is down to 0.75. He struck out 10. He came close to losing the shutout twice.

In the 5th, Carl Crawford was stranded after a leadoff triple. In the 9th, Adrian Gonzalez and David Ortiz had back-to-back hits. However, Carl Crawford grounded out to end the game.

This is the first playoffs of the post-Datsyuk era. We made a tough decision and decided to trade him. He is 35 and in the last year of a $6.7 million contract. It was a hard decision, but we got James Van Riemsdyk (11 years younger) in return.

The Flyers did not make the playoffs, so this is step 1 in calling this trade a "win".

Henrik Zetterberg is the new captain. Niklas Kronwall is still an alternate, and Riemsdyk is the other alternate.

The Red Wings have a 1-0 lead over the Dallas Stars in the first round. They have played each other in the first round each of the past 3 seasons.

Game 51 @ BOS

This game had a lot of unexpected offensive output. Both aces, Verlander and Lester, had pretty bad outings.

Verlander was first to leave, giving up 5 ER (2 HR) in 5 2/3 innings. He was lucky to earn a no decision.

The Tigers teed off on Lester in the 6th. He gave up 8 runs and 17 of the 20 hits.

David Ortiz homered twice, but it wasn't enough. Jacoby Ellsbury thought that he completed the comeback with an RBI single in the 8th.

John Mayberry, Jr's solo homer in the 9th proved to be the winning run.

There is still one more game in this series!

Game 50 @ BOS

Jordan Zimmerman labored to earn this win against the Red Sox. He uncharacteristically gave up 3 runs in only 5 innings. He struck out a lot of batters early.

Mark Melancon held things down, no pun intended, over 2 innings. Scott Downs broke the bullpen's shutout streak.

Daniel Bard made it through 5 and 2/3 innings, but gave up 12 of the Tigers' 23 hits. He continues to struggle as a starter.

Adrian Gonzalez was the lone offensive star for the Sox, going 4-4 with 2 HR and 3 RBI.

Miguel Cabrera re-took the league lead with his 20th HR of the season. He added 3 of the Tigers 10 RBI. Prince Fielder was 5-6!

Game 49 @ BOS

It was truly a team effort on the part of the Tigers en route to victory. Ian Kinsler had a big 2 RBI double in the 4th to give the Tigers the lead. This was the Tigers first chance to break through against Roy Oswalt, and they did.

Michael Morse added a run off of a homer in the 5th. Avila doubled twice and scored in the game; Marco Scutaro had a sac fly to cap off the scoring.

All of the Red Sox runs came off of mistakes, not errors though. Fister hung a slider to Jacoby Ellsbury (who doubled in the 1st). Gonzalez drove him in.

After Adam Jones took a bad route to a ball in the outfield, the extra run was driven in on a 2 run homer.

The bullpen closed the door again. No save was necessary, even though Valverde came in for the last out.

Game 48 @ MIN

This one was very similar to the last one. A huge offensive explosion propelled the Tigers to victory, and it was backed by a strong performance on the mound.

Ricky Romero pitched 7 innings of 1 run ball. He struck out 7. The bullpen had another scoreless outing.

Carl Pavano had a much tougher time. He was roughed up over the course of just 3 1/3 innings, giving up 8 on 13 hits. The 4th inning was especially treacherous.

Coming off the sweep, the Tigers head off to Fenway for a set of 4 games to end the month of May.

Game 47 @ MIN

The Tigers got rid of Francisco Liriano early by posting 6 runs on the board in the 2nd. They also scored in every even inning (except the 8th), and then tacked on one more in the 9th.

Miguel Cabrera and Ian Kinsler homered, Michael Morse had 2 RBI, and Adam Jones was a homer shy of the cycle.

Josh Beckett dominated the Twins with a lot of contact outs. He only gave up 4 hits and struck out 6. His ERA stands at a miniscule 0.88!
