Offense Concerns

This is from a few years ago. The Tigers go through these things every season. We were five–and–a–half up on the Twins at this point in 2006. Just because the tribe is up on us, doesn't mean we can't win the division. #keepthefaith

AUGUST 25, 2006

Where is the offense?

The Tigers just lost their third game in a row, 4-2, in Cleveland. The Indians did not play that great, but they outplayed the visitors. A rookie, Jeremy Sowers shut the offense down. Yesterday was ugly against the White Sox' Jon Garland, and the day before Freddie Garcia looked incredible against the Tigers. Bonderman gave up a lead for the second straight start.

These guys look exhausted, wore out, and disinterested in playing right now. It's almost like the Texas Rangers series last week-end took its toll on the Detroiters. Right now, they're not looking good, but they are still 4-1/2 games up in the American League Central Division.

Let's hope that the rest of the week-end goes well because it will notbe easy in the Bronx next week!
