No doubt, HQ. That makes two in a row now (9-0, Cleveland shutout the day before), and with two more against the Yankees, Boston coming to town for a three-game series. Then after a day off on Monday, June 5th, we head out on a six-day trip to face the likes of the White Sox and Toronto. That's some pretty hefty competition, but at least we'll find out if this Tigers team is a legitimate contender or not and and if they really can hang tough with the Big Boys.

What we really need is for our offense to come back around. Its really let our pitching down recently. And in a big way. We need to start scoring some runs in a hurry. Two straight shutouts, and we only scored one run in the game before that, versus Cleveland.

And my goodness, has Kenny Rogers fallen back to Earth or what? For the last couple years or so he usually doesn't lose steam like this until after the All-Star break. But man, he sure is getting knocked around pretty bad right now. It might be a good idea to sit him down for a start or two, to sort of rejuvenate his batteries.

As we already have one starter and one reliever on the disabled list. (Mike Maroth, Craig Dingman) and with Ramón Colón already starting for Mike Maroth, I have no idea who would start in his place, but I definitely think Kenny needs a rest.
