Its a long season and this team is not going to collapse. The pitching is too good and pudge and the manager will guide them into the playoffs on a high note. I think this team is better than either the 68' or 84' tigers. Some of these so called tiger fans should stop freaking out. Its a long season and this team is not going to collapse.

It took Contreres just seven pitches to get out of the first inning, and Curtis Granderson used four of them. In the second inning, Magglio Ordonez and Craig Monroe both found their pitch on the first offering. Both grounded out. In between, Carlos Guillen walked and Dmitri Young struck out. The Tigers were shut out until late in the sixth inning. It was getting perilously close to an AP alert crossing the wire. They stunk. There’s not much more you can say about it. The Tigers couldn’t get the hit. Couldn’t even find the patience to try, most of them. Even when someone connected with the ball, it was an out. Meanwhile, the White Sox had a .550 average for balls in play to go with two home runs (as pointed out by Detroit Tigers Weblog). Oh, and Detroit compounded it with two errors, one by Verlander himself. That makes three straight losses. Detroit lost 3 of 4 in early July, but you have to go back to June 4-7 to find a three-game losing streak. The White Sox were involved in that one too. How much so? The June 7 game was Verlander’s last loss before the latest one. The longest Tigers losing streak of the season is four, which occured in the last week of May.

Thank god we have to play at both stadiums in an unbalanced schedule. The US Cellular is the biggest pile of crap this side of the Metrodome.
