Of course, the Detroit lineup would suffer. Ordoñez's bat is virtually irreplaceable. But there are worse things than an outfield of Carlos Guillen, Curtis Granderson and a rightfield committee including some combination of Marcus Thames, Matt Joyce, Ryan Raburn, Brent Clevlen, and, in time, Casper Wells.

My favorite moments included Marcus Thames tying a club record by homering in five straight games. Plus: Curtis Granderson became the first Tiger in 90 years to lead the American League in triples in consecutive seasons. The only other ones to do it are Sam Crawford and Ty Cobb.

Don't ask Dotel. He gives up a grand slam to Marcus Thames in the top of the eighth inning, tying the White Sox at seven. John Danks pitched six strong innings but was lifted after 95 pitches. Miller and Morgan...

Oh, that Marcus Thames ! The Mighty Thames! Two home runs tonight! Hercules! Hercules! Hercules! Okay, so the Twins won the game., scoring 10 runs because Armando Galarraga walked six batters and had one of his worst performances of the season, while Freddy Dolsi was awful, and Casey Fossum wasn't very good, either. But... Country Strong! Bah. 21 more games left to endure.

Marcus Thames does not take games for granted. When he has a chance to play, he plays. On Sunday, he was supposed to start in leftfield and bat third. Shortly before the game, though, the Tigers announced he had been scratched from the lineup with a sore right shoulder. Rather than hit, he underwent treatment. His status for tonight's game against Toronto is unclear.

Miguel Cabrera leads the Tigers with 23 homers, and Marcus Thames is second with 21. And almost all of those homers have mattered.

The Tigers had a chance to build on their win last night over the White Sox but they went out with a whimper today. They jumped out to a 2-0 lead on a huge centerfield shot by Marcus Thames in the second inning but they did little after that. And when I say little, I [...]

Two days after Jim Leyland hinted that he could change his rotation or lineup, his batting order had a similar look to it Tuesday night. The only notable change was that Ryan Raburn started in leftfield rather than Matt Joyce or Marcus Thames, who have played there regularly in recent weeks.
