Can we just trade our pitching staff instead?

I wish they would just stop squeezing our strike zone.
Leyland needs to go psycho on the plate ump every game.

Good point, Thee. Leyland can do less damage from the clubhouse (after he's been thrown out).

Tiger pitchers gave up 16 runs and 22 hits....in one game.

Not that it matters, but the Tigers are now "officially" out of the playoffs with two weeks to go.

It's like the season that never was...

Next year the pitching staff should be ready to go.
I hope they finish above .500

So much potential this season and the only significant injury or ailment was Bondy. Willis was a no show, so can't really count him as an injury because we never really knew what we got or what we loss in him. He was just collecting money for nothing (and chicks for free).

Leyland needs to retire at the end of the season. His leading the tigers to the almost promise land in 2006 and having the fans believe that they could do it in 2007 and 2008 was about as bad as us diehard Pistons fans believing that we could duplicate the 2004 team's championship winning effort in 05, 06, 07, 08 and with skepticism in 09.

The pitching staff needs to be revamped too. JV was horrible and the gambler ran out of dough. The so called two flamethrower arms seemed to have lost their ammo and flamed out early. (Rodney & Zumaya.) Nate should be relegated to long reliever and closer in the mode of F-Rod needs to be recruited as not sure if TJ has it anymore either.

The core isn't dead yet, but I do believe a new manager could shape up things in the batting order, but we still have the ultimate ralley buster Brandon Inge in the battery behind the plate.

i hope so cause this year JV stunk up the joint big time! What the he** is up with Zumaya? every time he comes back he leaves with another injury. I just pray that they'll be ready. And Mr. Willis better be more consisent!
