Have a little faith ...

It's not that I want to give up.

In fact, I absolutely do not want to give up.




But, I do not think the Tigers want to win the American League Central. They don't hit with runners on base. Today, against the Twins, who keep chasing, the Tigers left nine runners on base. (I'm writing this in the ninth inning, with the Tigers trailing 6–2 and a runner on second base ...)

• The Tigers have scored and allowed an equal number of runs.
• The Tigers hitters do not hit with runners on base, especially runners on 2nd and 3rd.
• The Tigers had a 7–game lead and gave it away. They lead by ...

If any game of the season so far has been "must win," tomorrow's finale at the Metrodome would qualify as such. Yea, it's getting to be a little much. Nobody wanted to win the Central Division, but maybe the Twins were just pretending ...

Oh oh ...
