At least 4 of 'em scored that I can remember. Take them away, and it's 8-7, and Rogers pitches alot longer. But, you can't allow free passes and expect to survive. Old baseball saying: every team will win 60 games, and lose 60 games. It's the other 42 that determine where you end up in the standings and / or any post-season play. This game falls under the category of: 60 losses. So let's forget it, and win today; we can still win the series if we do. well, this was a lost game with horrendous pitching. 9 walks?

Yes..a silver lining. Over the last few years the old Tigers would have given up and we would have seen the "why am I here" looks on their faces as they sat on the bench. This team just doesn't give up and that in itself is something to applaud. I watched every inning of this game and frankly was impressed with the way the Tigers did not back down.

Also, whoever said Maddux is a good option should take a look at his stats and translate them from the weak NL to the AL. I don't think he would be much of an upgrade for the Tigers.

They beat the White Sox today again, if our pitching don't go back to the way it was in the first half we might be in big trouble with two teams hunting us How bout those Twinkies?

I think he's a good fit. Everyone talks about Monroe/Thames being capabable in LF and giving Dimitri the chance to come back. But why do we assume he would only play LF/DH? He can also play another position where the Tigers occasionally need a better bat--2B (although PP has been better of late). No one mentions this. One more thing; this time about Soriano.

That means Maroth (if he comes back okay) and Miner move to the bullpen, and Grilli/Colon/Ledezma move to the cheering section. If we can keep Verlander fresh, I like having him, Bonderman, and Robertson or Rogers starting playoff games, with Zoom-Zoom, Maroth, Miner, Walker, etc. in the pen.

I was very relieved when he got back up and went after the ball. Scary moment when Granderson bounced off the wall on the inside-the-parker.

Miner has been exposed of late, he's not the kind of guy you want to roll out every fifth day. I'd be interested to see what Sanchez might be able to do in a relief roll on the big club rather than deal him. He may be better than any middle reliever we might be able to bring in at this point. It may be worth a shot. Colon, Ledezma, and Grilli are definitely not play-off bullpen material. It’ll be interesting to see what Maroth is capable of when he returns.

Think about it. Rogers has become a pillar of suck, Miner's mojo isn't working anymore, and Verlander's innings are a cause for concern. This leaves us with two effective starters: Bonderman and Robertson. That's not enough for a stretch drive. Maybin, Miller, and Zumaya are off limits. Everyone else is for sale. Could we fetch Smoltz or Maddux? The Tigers must make a trade – for a pitcher.

I wouldn't be surprised if he picks up two hits tomorrow. I love how Leyland finds ways to give Wilson a free at-bat the day before he’s slated to start.
