well still a chance.... but not 18-2 thats for sure....

There pressing now, i think once the first little rally starts we'll see the flood gates open, unless half the team is in the trainers room.... any word on how long folks are going to be out?

we're never going to win a game

Yeah, a record-setting 0-162 season is on the horizon.

Looks like Carbrera will DH today against ChiSox and Sheff is sitting this one out, but won't go on the DL with the finger injury.

Sox -Tigers >Update-

Tigers send up six batters in the first inning including loading the bases with no outs.......and get one run out of it.

You know with Nate Roberston pitching, runs are always at a premium...

Meanwhile,, just as expected the Sox take advantage of the Tiger anemic run issues by coming back in the top of the second and taking the lead on 2 run homer by Carlos Quentien as Nate grooved one right down the middle

In a nut shell here is what happen>>Tigers go down again 8-5 and drop to 0-4!!

Tiger send six men to plate in the bottom of the 1st and get one run
White Sox get 2 runs on two pitches in the top of the 2nd to take the lead (a back to back doube and home run off or Nate
Tigers come back and tie the game in the bottom of the second as Pudge gets on and scores on a Clete Thomas single.

3rd inning Sox continue to ppund out doubles on Nate and push across three more runs.

bottom of the 3rd Tigers get the tthree runs back and the score remains tied 5-5 for three innings .....until Jason Grilli came in to start the 7th inning..dude gives up 5 straight hits to open the inning, including a 3 run dinger to AJ Pierzynski and before you knew the wind was out of the bag and that point you knew the Tigers were not coming back....

The bats looked like they were trying to wake up, but once again 10 runners left on base and the opposing team hits two homers to effectively win the game and our only extra base hits for the Tigers were two doubles by Pudge who combined with Clete Thomas, got 6 of the Tigers 10 hits.

If this had been a road game, I am sure the players would not have let Grilli on the bus

the 3 runs grilli gave up to start the 7th were on the first 3 pitches he threw......

Yeah, yeah, there are 162 games in the season, and it is only 4 games old, but you don't want to dig yourself a hole too deep and have to chase the Indians, and the Yanks, and Angels, and BoSox, and whoever else is going to be on the top.

I'm sure we can pick up a mid relief guy at the trade date.
Then blow by everybody 35-5 down the stretch.
