UGH! Tigers lay egg

I honestly don’t even want to write about that one. The Tigers maybe need to play the rest of their season on the road. Seriously. You think at some point in time, they will have a home record that is befitting a team of their caliber. Right now, it’s just the third junk game of four at Comerica Park since the National League swing. I’m starting to think Detroit spent so much time in NL parks to end interleague play they became an NL team.
It was going to be difficult against Johan Santana anyway. But when Justin Verlander struggled — and he did so right out of the gate — it was over. Then he gave up the grand slam to Joe Mauer. And, well, a bright point, Macay McBrie did a fine job in relief of Verlander anyway before Eulogio De La Cruz had a second “welcome to the big leagues” poor showing. I’m not worried about the kid. But I hope that everyone who mistakenly thought he was a good choice for closer after three major league innings had a reality check.
In other news, Tim Byrdak went on the disabled list. He wasn’t even on the World Series team!

Love the blog man! Couldn’t believe the Tigers dropped the ball so bad in this game. At any rate, I just wanted to tell you, when you write new blog posts, go over to BeTheRef.com and post a link to your story, and hopefully get a few extra readers. Keep up the great work!
