Had to split
Well, it's not looking good, folks ...
The Tigers are trailing today. It's now 6-0, so that's enough for Santana to hold onto for the lead. It's gone ugly since August 7. It's gone so ugly. Really, really ugly. What once seemed like a dream season ... the Tigers only had to play .500 ball after the All-Star break and they would still win 95 games. They're not doing that. They're struggling. Their offense is abysmal. I've written before that the team will change holistically, even if they win the World Series.
Honestly, it's amazing the Tigers even got a hit today. Tuna Can was predicting a no-hitter from Santana. It would have been a fitting conclusion to the week-end series. Now, friends, the Tigers schedule the rest of the way is "easier" theoretically than the Twins of White Sox. But, things are looking strained right now ...
What do you think?

I guess I wonder WHY? Are they tired? Are their opponents more talented or perhaps do they want it more? Would it be mistakes or stupid errors? Heck I just started getting kind of interested in this team...hmmm...way more interesting than watching cars go around a track (LOL)! It is as if the Tigers need to forget they've been losing, and remember that they were winning. Isn't it amazing that even with "grown men athletes":, it still is such a psychological game. I say, just get out there and PLAY!
RIck Rock Rick Rock Rick Rock....tsk tsk tsk...the tigers are folding up like a cheap suit...it is a shame, they have brought alot of excitement to the city of detroit.......ya know..when my boy girardi gets fired down in florida, ya could hire him..look what he has done down there...he could bring the tigers to the next level..the PLAYOFFS......well we here in new york are starting to prepare for the playoffs...we got a 10 game lead ya know.....
have a good one and keep getting good wood on the ball
Tired, inexperienced and folding under the pressure, but what a run they had. They have missed Palanco's study play/hitting more than I could have imagined. If they are lucky enough to hold on and make the playoffs, they could be dangerous in a seven game series because of their pitching.
