The 2010 Detroit Tiger season began with much hope and expectation. By the time the campaign ended most fans were disappointed — including me. But it is time to lick my wounds, give them the time they need to heal, and then move on to a new discussion about next season.
During the month of September I realized that I had more things to say than I had time to say them. So, I am contemplating making some changes with the DeeTown Tigers blog. The off-season will bring changes, and I will be here to talk about them. Next season, during the 162 games that Detroit will play, things will be more consistent, more informative, and much improved.
So, while looking ahead, let me take an opportunity to first look back. Here are the DeeTown Tigers Top 5 Detroit Tigers moments of 2010.
5. Miguel Cabrera becomes an All-Star. DeeTown Tigers July 10, 2010
4. The Tigers lose Joel Zumaya to injury. DeeTown Tigers June 29, 2010
3. Matt Garza‘s no-hitter against Detroit. DeeTown Tigers July 26, 2010
2. Ernie Harwell passes away at 92. DeeTown Tigers May 4, 2010 DeeTown Tigers May 6, 2010
1. Armando Galarraga‘s 28-out perfect game. DeeTown Tigers June 2, 2010
There are more moments good and bad that highlighted the season for the Tigers. What does your top five look like?
Frankly, the Zumaya thing is a non-event. I had written him off after the shoulder injury moving boxes. He is Fydrich version 2.0. Sigh.
Also, nice picture of Ernie on the Twitter page.
