Home cooking, same result

Good news and bad news. Good news: the Twins moved no closer to the Tigers. Bad news: Because Cleveland beat them to move into first place.
Oh yeah, and Detroit had a game, too. Well, the Tigers lost again. They’re 2-8 in the last 10. This time, it was the starting pitcher who failed to get the job done, while the bullpen allowed just one run in five innings of work.
That’s because starter Andrew Miller left after four innings of work, in which he gave up a grand slam and other assorted runs to give Chicago a touchdown lead. He came out in the fifth inning, but never made a pitch. He has a sore hamstring, a minor injury the Tigers are saying. But after two straight really bad games, I wonder if they shouldn’t give the kid some extended rest anyway.
The other good news, I suppose we could say, is with two singles and a double, Magglio Ordonez had a nice game. He had just one extra-base hit since July 23 before that.
This awful slump has to end soon. It’s really getting frustrating to watch.

Does the slump really have to me to an end??
That’s what I thought too a week or so ago….
What I’m afraid the reality might be is that this is the begining of the end.
Yeah, I said it…it feels like they’re on the brink of something; either turning this thing around or going into the tank for good this year…would anyone be suprised to see them 5 games out of it by the end of August and clinging to hopes of a wild card berth?
This young tiger pitching staff looks tired and I don’t know how that gets turned around….the next couple weeks will show what Grampa Leyland and the boys are really made of.
Don’t hate me for saying these things, I am just trying to preserve my sanity and keep from gretting mt heart broken
[...] the game did not go as well as I had hoped although my Tiger, Magglio Ordonez, played well. They lost plus the Cleveland [...]
