I didn't realize we'd reach one of those numbers so early. I honestly thought on Apr 1st we had a chance to go 110 and 52. I didn’t realize we’d reach one of those numbers so early.

Minnesota skunked them. If the Tigers win 4 or 5 games this week they'll be in good shape for the end of this road trip in Chicago next week. The White Sox didn’t show up Yesterday either.

Esp. given the fact that he was in the NL for almost all of his career until 2005 (when we were at least half-decent) when we played for the Angels. 10-2 with 2 Shutouts, a sub 3.5 ERA and great WHIP and K/BB ratios. Next time this cat faces the Tigers I am picking him up and putting him in my fantasy lineup. Bittersweet beats flat bitter. There honestly can't be too many starters with better numbers with as large a sample size as he does against this team in any version of it's current form.

What's another 13 million. He's a big name. He'll fit in nicely. And get rid of Porcello. I think the Braves will take him off our hands. What is it ,ten, eleven shutouts. I lost count. And can we sign Leyland to a ten year extension. I love it how he gets the players ready to play each and every game. We just have bad luck. We hit the ball real hard, but a lot of the times, it's right at someone. Darn. I just know we can turn this thing around. And we will with Mr. Leyland's leadership. Go Tigers. Yeh let’s get Tejada.

They have made seven defensive mistakes, most not rule as errors, and have worst defense in the majors. Maybe we can pawn Pudge off on them as a traffic cop of sorts. Unfortunately, the Marlins will probably fleece us again and send the Tigers a switch-hitting left fielder straight off the short bus. Watching the Marlins for second time in two games.
