6-4 Tribe hanging on in the bottom of the 7th
Both teams are now into their bullpens. Here come the runs!....
I predict an 11-10 game ending score.

I agree with everything you said about Pudge, without him, I doubt the others would have followed him to Detroit.
As for Farnsworth, we can't go anywhere but up , but I expect very little from him.
He's another 40 year old pitcher, one we actually traded away 10 years ago.
As I recall, HE decided to leave.
I just have my doubts about him.
btw, how do you like Todd Jones now ???
Rodney has come in and given up 2 HR's in consecutive nights, but I don't hear everyone booing him to the showers.

Jimbo,
care to contribute to some of my new threads?
"Toughest players from your favorite team" and 'Useless players on your favorite team.'
Bob Probert and Charles Rogers ring a bell?

I have yet to hear him say anything being HAPPY about catching, can you find something that says that ?

Pudge deal opens full-time spot for Inge | Tigers.com: News
Similar article was in Freep or news I think
Tigers continue to lose games they should win ....
They could be in first place by now if they had won half the games they should have won this past 2 weeks.
If not in 1st then at least close behind the Twins.
Tigers are officially done.

It's time to cut the dead wood around here: Rodney, Renteria, Sheffield and Jones all need to go NOW. I don't care what Sheffield has done since the break; too little, too late.
What the hell was Leyland doing while Rodney was giving away the game yesterday afternoon? Picking his nose? Lets recap his inning. Walk, tried to kill a hitter, gave up a hit, and then after he walked the bases full, walked in the winning run. This one is on Leyland and as much as Rodney. This is the kind of stupid sh*t I expect at Ford Field, not Comerica. This team has been more disappointing than the Lions. Those of you that know me, know how I feel about the Lions. At least with them I expect to be disappointed, But this team has (had?) talent, and the everyone in baseball expected them to contend. They are, instead, the epitome of underachievement. Just sad.
Go Lions, and take the Tigers with you.

What this boiled down to is what EVERYONE IN BASEBALL KNEW IT WOULD.. Our pitching!!!
It has been terrible all season.
Time to start modeling ourselves after the Twins...
Look at what this team is accomplishing..Forget all these high Priced players, they just don't cut it.

If I were Illitch, I would be pulling my hair out. I won't be surprised to see a change in the financial direction next season. We do have an excellent scouting staff. Look for some of this over-priced talent to be sent packing. Some of the best playing we did this season was all spurred by the talent brought up from AAA. (Joyce being the most prominent).
You are absolutely correct about the pitching. Bondo goes down, Zumaya went down, and Rogers may be circling the drain. The bullpen was a strength in the first 6 weeks, and a huge negative since. In my opinion Leyland has been to loyal to his players (Sheffield and Renteria) and to his coach's,beyond reason. The hitting coach really needs to go. Another thing I don't understand is, 3 weeks ago Rodney was all but gone from Detroit, and now he's are closer?

I think their season was decided last weekend.
They DO have a series with the White Sox yet, coming up, if they don't sweep them, and they won't, they will be 10 out by then.
Of course the Twins are in 1st place now and have no desire to give it up.
They have done a phenominal job after loosing Santana and Torii Hunter over the winter and now Liriano is back an pitched well the other night, so look out AL Central ....
Anybody but the Sox ....

Gotta root for the Twins. Any team who can lose a Cy Young pitcher in Johan Santana and a Gold Glove All Star in Tori Hunter and still compete for the division has my respect!
One major reason on why the Twins have succeeded instead of the Indians and Tigers this year all boils down to one thing: the bullpen. The Tigers and Indians don't have a closer. The Twins have Joe Nathan. Nuff said.

I'm not going to root for the Twinkies anytime soon, but that organization has always had my respect. They always seem to be in the thick of things as long as I can remember. Definitely some of the best scouts in baseball. They just keep coming upwith great talent every year.
Back to the Tigers - Make or break against the Sox. They need a sweep to get back in the race. Anything less won't end the season, but will prompt the "fat lady" to start warming her cords. If they get swept, well "stick a fork in 'em".
Looking good so far for the Tigers, up 6-2 against the W. Sox in the 6th, but you all know, the bullpen has yet to get involved.
