In this edition of Tiger Talk, host Tony Garcia is joined by a new guest. Dan Dickerson, the play-by-play voice of the Detroit Tigers Radio Network comes in to share his expertise. The two discuss the Detroit Tigers before they became a perennial powerhouse. In the early 2000’s Dickerson was mentored by the great Ernie Harwell. Dickerson shares that life changing experience, what he learned during that time and how it was still enjoyable to announce for a team that  was not good.

The Detroit Tigers’ season end came to an all too sudden end on Sunday when the Baltimore Orioles completed the 3-0 sweep in Comerica Park. Host Tony Garcia is joined as usual by co-host Richie Cozzolino as the two do their best to keep each other’s spirits up. Garcia is beside himself about the many coaching blunders, while Cozzolino can’t control himself while talking again about a bullpen implosion that cost the Tigers their season.

After an excruciatingly long, up and down, topsy-turvy, down right strange season, the guys are elated to have come out on top. The Detroit Tigers, much like predicted at the beginning of the season, are the AL Central Division Champs for the fourth consecutive year. However, this season was unlike any other.

With the Detroit Tigers back in first place, the guys are feeling better about where things stand as the final weeks of play wrap up. Host Tony Garcia is finally able to separate his head from heart as he acknowledges his realization that this Justin Verlander is just not the same guy.

September is now in full swing, and the Tigers’ chances are still looking up in the division. Host Tony Garcia and co-host Richie Cozzolino are back to take a look at Detroit’s chances. After a less than stellar series against the San Francisco Giants, the Tigers headed into their biggest series of the season against the Kansas City Royals.

Football may be the sport on everyone’s mind this week, but the MSU cross country team has plenty of reasons to garner some hype. For her first Last Leg podcast of the season, host Alexa McCarthy talks about team goals, beginning of season jitters and runners to look out for. McCarthy also talks about this week’s meet in Eugene, Ore. and its significance in the Spartan’s schedule.
