Tigers lunch-hour live chat, edition 1

As the playoffs (hopefully) get closer, I'll be doing a weekly live chat.

For the first two weeks, starting Aug. 29, it'll be on Thursdays; after that, it'll switch to Tuesdays (to try to avoid day games). Each edition will be at 12:30 p.m.

Have your questions ready. I'll answer as many as I can, as honestly as I can.
