Carlos Guillien's Back, White Sox Vs Tigers, We Need These

The Tigers will take on the White Sox with both teams being tied while heading into todays game @ 1:05. It will be Justin Verlander vs Jose Contreras. Carlos Guillien will be back in today's line up and lets hope he will come back in mid season form. The Tigers could really use his bat epically after the back to back 2-1 loss games. Here is what the Tigers lineup will look like for todays game.

Granderson, CF
Polanco, 2B
Thomas, RF
Cabrera, 1B
Guillen, DH
Raburn, LF
Inge, 3B
Laird, C
Everett, S

It's very nice to see Carlos back in there. To make room for Carlos the Tigers designated Josh Anderson for assignment. Eddie Bonnie is also expected to be back up very soon.

1968 Detroit Tigers Memories With Ernie Harwell

Well its another loss, I'd rather not go to much into that. The pitching was there.

I just wanted to share this very well done video. I have found it on you tube. It has some great footage and audio of the 1968 Season. I wasn't even close to being born in 1968 so its things like this that can let you get a feel of Tigers history. Check it out. I will be back soon with a contest with a prize for the 1st and 2nd place winners.

Tigers Lose, Jackson Gets The Nod

The Tigers dropped a close one to the Yankees and now have lost there last two games after the All Star Break. Tomorrow the Tigers look to regain there form when All-Star Edwin Jackson takes the hill. He will face Mr. Chamberlain for the Yankees at 2:05pm and it can been seen on Fox Sports HD.

Check out the probable pitchers page over at MLB.com. They give you the pitchers as well as some great scouting reports.

Back For The 2nd Half

The AL Wins! Lets hope that will come into play for the Tigers and they get the Home Field Advantage in the World Series. Inge slams a goose egg in the HR Derby which I thought he should have probably not have been in. Let's hope he can pick back up where he left off.

New here to Copa Times will be Schedule Wallpaper for you to decorate your desktop as well as inform you about the next upcoming Tigers game. Check it out here is July's!

Inge In Home Run Derby

The Detroit Tigers Third Basemen All-Star Brandon Inge was the last person voted onto the 2009 AL All-Star teams. He will also be in tonights Home Run Derby contest. Inge currently has 21 long balls this season and hope to live a life long childhood dream of being in the HR Derby. After last season people would be happy if Inge would hit just above the .230 mark and today he's an All-Star. Inge is also very choked up about being an All-Star as it was a childhood dream that has come true. This is just a great story and it couldn't have happened to a better person. Tonight lets root for Brandon Inge in the 2009 Home Run Derby.

Another thing for thought, could Brandon Inge be the AL All-Star key weapon late in the game if it becomes a long extra innings game? With Inge being able to play many positions I would think Joe Madden would just love to have Inge be the last one off the bench just in case he's needed. I would love to see Inge play more but he may be used in this role for tomorrow's All-Star Games.

As always your comments are welcome, and lets root on all of the 2009 Detroit Tigers All-Stars.
