Welcome, good lookers, to the '97 DETROIT TIGER BOMB blog.
My name is Harry Doyle, beat writer for the 1997 Strat-O-Matic Detroit Tigers. This season I'll be providing all pertinent information: news, scores, rumors, updates, here at Tiger Bomb Web Blog. The blog will be updated daily.
Well it sure has been a long winter for the Tigers. After posting a league-worst 53-109 record last season, the Tigers will be looking to ride a rising tide under new manager, Mat McNeil. McNeil will be officially announced as team manager at a press conference later this week.
The Tigers will have to contend with two tough divisional clubs this season: New York and Baltimore. Detroit is the consensus pick for 3rd place finish this season.
Although, McNeil hasn't yet been available for an official press interview, a source close to the Tigers told me he was "disgusted" at the Tigers 6.38 team ERA and .256 team batting average last season (league worsts in both categories).
Spring Training is still a couple months away, but stay tuned for league information.
Here now, a song from Harry Doyle's favorite modern collection:
