Still, a good game, and despite Galarraga's poor oting, they were in it until the end. All good things must come to pass.

I know he is having some kind of personal problems but he is sucking way to bad to pay him another 18 next year. Maybe the Cubs will get desperate enough and trade us for him.

But the offense isn't awful either. I expect Granderson and Polanco and Ordonez to hit better. With Polanco and Ordonez they likely won't hit at career numbers as they age, but they should be better than they are now. Granderson is in his prime and shouldn't be regressing. I don't think the offensive situation is that dire. I know, I was teasing. But the offense isn’t awful either. I expect Granderson and Polanco and Ordonez to hit better.

For example, the Yankees last year had terible pitching, but their hitting helped them to a winning season. I don't see the Tigers having that luxury in the event the pitching hits a bad spot.
