"Are you a Tiger fan? That's SO cool, because my all-time favorite player is Brandon Inge, I voted for him 1,000 times for the All-Star game..." A mere few minutes later nothing was to be heard but the slam of a door and the click of heels hurrying across the pavement and the phrase ".230 lifetime hitter" echoing into the night...

What are you going to do? Having a dead end night in Manhattan, but reading the comments tonight warm my soul. Its good to have folks to commiserate with. Tomorrow is another day as noted sabermetrician Scarlett O'Hara once said after the Braves were swept by the 65 Mets. Sigh. What are you going to do?

Next year will be interesting if Rios and Peavy get it going again. I bet they do, hopefully it raises the quality of the division a bit.

There has been a lot of sighing on the Tigers behalf this week. Too recap- the trades have sucked, the four game skid sucks, the offense lacks continuity, Grandy/bullpen/outfield defense have been frustrating. And to top it off, we learned tonight that Leyland is September terrible to the tune of .001. Sunnier though is the fact that Inge has lost his taste for the check swing K, Maggs has regained some pop, and Spring Training I had this team battling for 3rd in the division with Cleveland. Compared to last year, it is really nice to care this late in September. These Tigers are better on the field than on paper and have not sold out the future to get in this position, i.e. White Sox. I'll take timely hitting over last year's all-star ham-sandwich lineup any day. (Holy Cow, that's a lot of optimism. Must be the coffee. I need to put the mug down.) I hear ya Coleman.

Then it would be a first, the battle of the team which wants to lose the most! We could have asked for them to play KC, but that wouldn't work.

Believe it or not, he is actually doing worse than Huffandstuff. A lot worse. Along with the less than sterling results from Washbum, it makes me wonder if the late season pickup idea is even worth it.
