That was actually Bergesen’s 2nd win. Got everything else though, and yes, it’s sad.

I’m sure he meant the two rookie sensations that owned the Tigers at Camden Yards.

Let’s have Bonderman pitch a mock game against the Tigers. Our lineup is apparently reviving careers.

Escobar took the loss against Jackson on Saturday. Although it’s still true that we did nearly nothing against him.

Also, we haven’t played Pittsburgh yet?

I don’t see how a good game three years ago has anything to do with how we feel about his performance today.

Huh? The Tigers beat Kelvim Escobar and haven’t played Pittsburgh yet.

It may be. It is certainly frustrating.

I really don’t think Perry will be gone long. And I’m not sure how he would have helped in the 6-1 loss. I’m also not sure why wins became less important than salary. The Tigers need 6 starters at the moment because of the doubleheader. They also need more data points to see if Willis has anything. After his start today, they’ll make some decisions and the the pitching staff will get sorted out. Perry has to stay down a minimum of 10 days unless someone goes on the DL. I’d expect he’d be back at pretty close to the minimum.

oh ya that makes sense, lets get rid of perry for a 6-1 loss, bonderman giving up all 6 runs… ya great move. don’t know if i could be a tigers fan after this, because obviously, wins are less important than salary… i might have to change who i root for because from my perspective wins are not an issue… perry has helped us maintain the first place status, and now u send him down with the second lowest era on the team. has to be good for his confidence, great job guys… happy to know u guys ‘know’ what’s best for the team…

I think it’s more Bonderman’s lack of ability to put the ball anywhere BUT right in the middle of the zone that is killer. What’s Kenny teaching him in his fireside chats? To lay it down the pipe? Bondo’s used to doing that, it’s how he used to pitch.

Now he’s got to paint!

And man, I’m glad we have so much to complain about. Because it can only get better, and we’re in first place already. Bring it on!

Hey Billfer,
do you think this is a Major League Record.. Since May 15 the Tigers while in first place have lost 5 games to pitchers winning their first game of the year…the two in Pittsburgh, Dice K….Escobar…and Contreras..This couldn’t have possiby happened before could it?…..It would be hard enough at the beginning of the year to lose to 5 guys winning their first let alone in May and June.
