tigers have all the stats of a 10-8 team. still, they have yet to be swept and avoided that with a 2 out HR by Thames and a GW single by MVP candidate Placido Polanco.
The Official Site of The Detroit Tigers: News: Detroit Tigers News
Polanco is off and flying after being the MVP of the AL Championship and THE MVG of the World Series. He is getting a Derek Jeter air about him , a look of doing whatever he wants when he's counted upon. Earlier, when attempting to hit behind the runner, he smashed a single down the first base line to score a run. Ozzie Guillen said he is the most feared hitter in our lineup.
Overall, weve been terrible 'hitting' wise and with our bullpen , sans Todd Jones. Sheffield , Casey and Inge arent even hitting my weight in the army while Rodney looks like he just fell off the pipe, crack pipe , that is.
he's has lost or been responsible for losing 5 of our 8 losses.
This is still pretty typical for a team coming off a World Series. St louis is
also hovering around .500. Tigers will be fine though as the weather warms up.
