Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

All right. It's May, or at least it will be in 2 hours. It's not early anymore. We've got issues in the top 3 spots in the lineup, and 2 spots in the dugout. We could move Avila, Raburn, or Peralta into the #3 slot, but there's not an easy answer for the other problems.

We're in trouble.

Lawl. This team sucks and is managed by someone clearly senile.

We should have won last night's game, and could easily have gotten this one as well. That's what burns my ***. Cleveland is not that good. They're not as bad as I thought they were, but if they win the Central, the entire front offices in Chicago, Detroit and Minnesota should be shown the door.

Who is this April In The D girl? And can she do a May commercial as well?

So we were all correct in that it would be a 3-team race this year. We just didn't know it would be 3 teams fighting for last place.

What a crap fest MN, Chi, Det have been so far.

I was about ready to let loose a rant about Don Kelly hitting 3rd today, but he just doubled in the 1st run.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

Well, we put up a 2-spot in the 1st. Let's see if we do anything else today.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

Bases loaded in the 2nd, 1 out, you can guess what happened.

I think we're done here for today.

Just a matter of time before the pen blows it.

I'm not sold on Cleveland though, so maybe if the Tigers can get their heads out of their collective arses we'll still have a shot at this. Bleh.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

It won't be the pen. Marlboro Jimmy will manage this away before the 8th inning, if today holds to form. It doesn't matter. We're done hitting for the day. I've seen this movie waaay too many times for my taste. Score 1-2 in the 1st and go to sleep until Tuesday.

And I agree about Cleveland. When Justin Masterson is your ace, I'm not exactly trembling in fear.

Hey, the April In The D girl is still here.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

Hard to fault Inge there.

And then Benoit not only blows the save, he's essentially lost this game in the 8th. That's where you put the blame today.

5-3 loss. Swept in Cleveland.

We haven't won in a week.

What's worse: being swept by Cleveland or being swept by Kansas City?
Discuss.

If this keeps up, it's going to be a looooooooooooooooooooong summer.

That makes me giggle uncontrollably too much to be how the Tigers are playing.
