TIGERS 08 SEASON THREAD

[TaShawn]

Man, I jumped out of work to grab a quick lunch and catch an inning of the Tigers game and all I saw was the Grilli debacle.

Getting a little worried here. I guess we have enough tradable assets that we can get more pitchers if need be.


Just a quick pet peeve here. Having Clete Thomas bunt in the 5th inning is pretty weak IMO. Did Leyland really think that we needed just 1 run to win this game? It was obvious that we were going to have to outscore them when our relief pitchers came in. Also, Clete had 5 hits in a row, or something like that.

Yep you are right there...JL didn't even get a chance yank him or to give him the evil eye before three runs were across....In one of the previous games somebody got the hook after pitchin to only one batter... sure wish JL had been to get up the steps before that second pitch.....

I think that bunt was an accidental bunt

Yeah there are 158 games to go so maybe we are overly concerned, but this ain't the 2003 Tigers.. expectations are high and payroll is even higher

> Tigers 5-38 in the four games with runners in scoring position,
> only 3 homers in four games >all solos
>only team in the league without a victory
Coments on ESPN,>no team has ever gone to the World Series after losing their first four game at home...

Did anyone see Ozzie Guillen first stare down Jose Contreras on the mound where he couln't look at him...and then chew him out in the dug out after he gane the hits that the game to be tied? I don't remember if they showed Leyland saying anything to Grilli when he came to the dugout. The fans cheered him because he finally got somebody out.

Imagine Pistons starting out year at 0-4...
Roscoe's server would've exploded.

Yanks started 0-4 a couple years ago and finished with 114 wins. Team needs W. Hermann as a middle reliever.

Yep and Tay as the south paw with the crazy wind up as the closer.

[OLD SKOOL HQ]

I was able to watch all four games this week on free preview. It'll be just my luck that now that they are on Fox national Tv and we are getting the mets vs Braves down here, they'll win 14-2 today!!!!!!

Lets hope so...
