If we lose tonight, we'll get swept by the Cards then it will make that a 5-game losing streak.

LOok OoOo We all know their track record, but now it doesn't mean a darn if it isn't getting the job done. You want to bunch your good...scratch that....productive hitters together. One possible way is to clump all the .800 OPS(and above) hitters together Right now assuming we have the DH here is ONE way it could be done (and also assuming Don Kelly is semi hot) CF Granderson LF Kelly 1st Cabrera 3rd Inge DH Thames SS Santiago RF Ordonez 2nd Polanco C Laird On a side note check out Ryan Raburn's situational splits *bottom of the page http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/splits?playerId=6124 assuming there are runners on base, he KILLS the ball, compared to when they aren't . wow Mid 600sOPS to nearly 900 Ordonez as you can guess is somewhat opposite of that, but still bad in each category. Cabrera is hitting terrible in June. Again why Polanco and Ordonez are batting ahead of him in the lineup is ludicrous.

Right now assuming we have the DH here is ONE way it could be done (and also assuming Don Kelly is semi hot)

CF Granderson
LF Kelly
1st Cabrera
3rd Inge
DH Thames
SS Santiago
RF Ordonez
2nd Polanco
C Laird

On a side note check out Ryan Raburn’s situational splits

*bottom of the page

assuming there are runners on base, he KILLS the ball, compared to when they aren’t . wow

Mid 600sOPS to nearly 900

Ordonez as you can guess is somewhat opposite of that, but still bad in each category. Cabrera is hitting terrible in June.

Honestly, the Tigers are missing Magglio/Polanco/Guillen. They're all missing in action or on the shelf. But I'm inclined to think the solution offensively is in the clubhouse, not elsewhere. (Except they may need a starting pitcher). I know what you mean. Honestly, the Tigers are missing Magglio/Polanco/Guillen. They’re all missing in action or on the shelf.

No, that wasn't it. Inge had two hits; they didn't mean anything because Leyland had him batting 6th, which left him with no RBI opportunities. “Curtis Granderson and Miguel Cabrera hit, but again that was it.”

All of the walks all of a sudden by this staff, it looks like 2008! I thought we fired Hernandez! And the offense? They are finally getting a few more knocks, but not with men on. And I have yet to see any movement on the roster. Galarraga should not be in this rotation, and Willis needs to be gone....After Illitch's little message, I thought there would be movement....I guess not... What the crap Zumaya?
