Tigers go 1-2-3 in the 5th. They are down 1-0 on the HR by Cabrera (no pun intended).

Another unbelievable listless performance by Tigers hitting as they are shutout for the 3rd time in 11 games. All they could muster was 2 hits, and Verlander finally succumbs in the 8th after giving up only 1 run through 7. Hitting needs to get going or this will be over quickly.

Tigers lose left-hander McBride for season

Quote:

Except for the inning he threw for Triple-A Toledo in his only start, McBride will miss the entire season because of surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left elbow.

Wow, more good news. If we had a thread that said, "Positive News about Your Detroit Tigers," it would be empty.

It won't be quick, it'll be a long drawn out incredibly disappointing season, full of trade rumors and players and press throwing people under the bus. Not good at all.

2 and 9 baby, better than 0 and 11.

3 shutouts in 2007. 3 in 2008.

I have to admit, this is as puzzling to me as it looks like it is to Leyland, the writers, the players, etc. It's not like Tigers had all the young kids who overachieved last couple of seasons. And everyone, and I mean everyone is struggling. Just doesn't make much sense.

It's really strange how Clete Thomas has been our best player this year. Inge (our supposed weak link) isn't too far behind in the MVP race for the team.

We didn't know how tough the Yankees had it all those years with their pseudo all-star teams.

I haven't given up yet, but it doesn't look good at 2-9. However, this is nothing a nice streak like 10-2 can't fix.
