TIGERS 08 SEASON THREAD

[LA Dre]

Well after going 19-8 in June, the Tigers start off 0-2 in July and are shut out for the first time since May 31st..7-0 by the we are hotter than you Twins .

Hopefully they rebound and take out the struggling Mariners and Indians and win 5 out of the next 6 before they meet up with the Twins again prior to the All star Break. Mags and Inge should be back to help out in the second season as the make a run to stay within reach of both the twins and Chisox,

Considering that Tigers are missing a third of the lineup, the Detroit Mud Hens struggle to keep up with better teams in MLB. Hopefully the players can come back fairly soon to keep this move up in the standings.

I was hoping we could snuff the Twinks. But Bo9 got the ball up and Twinks rode it.
I hope they don't hang their heads. I'll take another 19 and 8.

Well still hanging around .500. And that's a good thing. Split with Sea. and 2 of 3 from Cle.
Indians had us down 6 - 2 or so and the Tigs came back late. to win 8 - 6.
This line-up has some pop it just needed 3 mo. to heat up.

4 games with Twinks next. At home. then 3 days rest. Then 3 at Bal. Then Chi comes to town. We can come out of this at .512. And we're on our way.

Twinks aren't letting us past them. 1 for 4 at home against them. But all isn't lost yet.
2 of 3 against Bal. and division leader Chi. and it's all good.
Our Dee is still sub-par so if we make the P/Os we won't go far.
All of these things improved over the last 45 days:
starting pitching
middle relief
hitting through out the order.

Finally got over the hump against KC 19 - 4. Zack Miner the beneficiary.
then we get Chi.

There are still more a couple with KC. I am worried that after the explosion last night the offense is going to go into the shell for the next few games.

7-1 win. 3 games over .500

Now 5.5 back of ChiSox and 4 back of Minni. Weekend series against Chicago looks pretty big at this point.
