Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version
3-1 final.
I guess they've all got to be like this with him this year.

Granderson went 2-5 with an RBI.
Polanco's 2-3 with an RBI so far tonight.

Apparently Jeremy Bonderman had Tommy John surgery and is considering a comeback. Unless he's planning on learning an off-speed pitch, it's not going to matter.
And I guess Cabrera broke the Seattle pitcher with that line drive.

From FakeLeyland Twitter:
FUN FACTS: THIS YEAR'S TEAM STILL HAS A BETTER RECORD THAN LAST YEAR'S TEAM DID AT THIS POINT SO @$%! YOU
Unlike this year though, we could actually close out games last year.

Well, Jimmy got run due to the umpire spending the better part of four innings giving Verlander a proctology exam without the use of fingers.
Oh, and Gump just left the bases loaded to end the 5th. We're going to lose this one, too.

I think they've been overdue for a game that would collectively **** em all off, and light the proverbial fire under their cheeks. Sure hope this one is it and it will snap them out of the funk they've been in as of late.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version
well I wonder which tiger that is being booed unmercifully now, will be run out of town next. Valverde gets a lot of boos, Rayburn too. How about Delmon young, or Benoit, Or maybe one of our bull pen guys.
Overall we as fans are not all that smart, as we think we are.
Any bets that Inge hits a walkoff Grand slam against us too?
I think the tigers brass are sensitive to the fans and they get rid of guys people don't like, so who's the next victim?

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version
You're totally right. We should have kept the Great Check Swing Big Mouth for a few more months. I mean, it's only been since the middle of 2009 since he was utterly hopeless at the sport. At least Raburn's hit the ball in the last 12 months.

Scott Sizemore started off well last year in Oakland, too. But at the end of the year his numbers were mediocre at best. Brandon Inge is 35 and has not been anything resembling a productive hitter since 2009. Infatuation with Brandon Inge helped get us into this hole in the first place.
Look. The whole lineup is struggling right now.

Of course! How did we miss it? Getting rid of the guy hitting .100 is the reason our offense isn't producing and why our bullpen can't keep a lead.

Like many, I expected the Tigers to be much better at this point.
The starters have shwn us glimpses of promise. I think the bats will kick in.
We are hurting for quality pitching in late innings. No warm fuzzy feeling there.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version
The scary part is, I don't think there's much out there that would qualify as an upgrade in the pen. They're going to have to pull it together or we're just going to bleed.
Boesch is really struggling. It looks to me like Peralta had his career year last year. I still think Delmon's days in Detroit are numbered. And we still don't have a 2B.

Hammer from Volume II:
"I'm not going to panic yet. I figured we'd be just above .500 at the end of April. I did not figure we'd get swept by Seattle. I also did not figure we would lose Fister for the better part of a month, either.
Now. If we're still at .500 after May, we're in trouble. "
Tigers were 77-0 last season with the lead after 7. This season: 9-8. Eight f-n times...combination of weak hitting and sporatic relief pitching. 88 wins may be a stretch at this rate...
