C’mon guys, do it for the city. You’re team has been around since 1901. Have a little PRIDE. You know what that means?

Bonds? Oh, man. That would be insane. Let’s field an all-DH team, why don’t we?

If cutting Jones screwed with the team’s psyche, they should have cut Shefield too cause it needs a drastic shake-up. This “team” needs half the heart of the pesky Twins.

I hope Bonds doesn’t get added to this mess.

Hate to say it…but Henning (DetNews) is right:

“Leyland’s problem is getting the right blend of offense and defense on the field. His conundrum is that he has a surplus of offensive players who probably best function as DHs and first basemen.”

Oh, that ole, crusty manager. Don’t you just love him.

Chris –

Are you honestly under the impression that Verlander’s no-hitter was a fluke? He hasn’t had a good start but there’s plenty of time to turn it around. Before you point to his 1-5 record…look at his run support: 7 starts, only two where the team scores more than 2 runs. Even if his ERA were sub 3.0 he’d likely have the same record. The runs (if they do come) also tend to come late in games, combine that with the fact that JV is usually pretty money in the early innings and I’m starting to think he’s wondering why his team isn’t doing more to lift him up.

I could not watch the whole thing. I want my 2007 Tigers back. These guys are not a team.

Tomorrow Leyland forces the entire team to grow beards in hopes of runs.

Good one, Shane. I get a good laugh out of this loss, anyway, and I didn’t even have to watch it.

Leyland is toast.

Man, these guys are exciting. How about that Granderson catch; and did you see the kid in right field dive for that ball? Unfortunately, our rentashortstop had a little bit of bad luck but that’s baseball. Oh yeh, crashing against the left field fence, Sheff showed he can still play defense. This team is going places.

Well, that drastic change did not work. Tomorrow Leyland forces the entire team to grow beards in hopes of runs.

Well, there we go folks…. Back to Strugglesville….

I mean, just look at these two teams. They should be in different leagues. They are in different leagues. If we don’t get swept in this 4 game series, I will conceder it a success. But not to worry folks. We got our Stopper/Ace Verlander pitching Wednesday.

What a joke this team is.

Hopelessness is probably the strongest word for how I am feeling about this season…
