Tigers baby!

IF the Tigers can Win the next 2-games in Detroit- -it's over and they continue towards the World Series!!

I really hope they get their act together and the Tiger fans as loud as they did in Oakland-if not more!! 

I am still for them--just disappointed how poorly their batting was today...still pulling for them to defeat Oakland!!

GO TIGERS...and... send Oakland packing!!

Just taking even one of these next 2 home games still gives us a real chance at the series because remember, if it goes to a game 5 we'll have Max back on the mound for that one

Tigers Batters--Snooze and Looze!!   

Like he said--the Tigers haven't scored a run in 17 innings since they scored 3-runs in the first inning in Game One. What does that tell you..??..the Pitching has done the job--the hitting is asleep!! 

[Steve]

I'm not saying our offense is not asleep, it is that's for sure. I'm just saying I know this team and this isn't the first time this season we have done this. As I said before we have probably the most streaky offense in the league and there's been numerous times where they will go a few games being shut out only to all the sudden get a fire going and put up some double digit run wins. We have a great hitting team, yes sometimes they go through these hitless spells, but a team stacked with as many good hitters as we have won't stay runless for long. All it takes is one spark to get them all going again and coming home to Comerica, with Sanchez starting Monday, I'm not ready to stick a fork in them yet by any means.

Agree.  Splitting in their house is a good start.  Just need the guys to start hitting.  A stronger closer would be nice too.

[Steve]

Am I the only one that can't find the game on TV Monday?? are you kidding me? I see Comcast is showing it but nothing on the Wide Open West channels???!!!!

[LoveTheFishies]

1pm on MLBN.  Channel 152 on Dish.

[Steve]

 I've got "WOW" no dish or Comcast. I've been thinking about switching to Comcast lately though so this just made my mind up for me

** Polishing your fork--as in prep. to Eating Crow..? ?..I think the season is over. Their previous weeks of no-hitting has caught up with them and at the wrong time.  **

[Steve]

Not entirely ready to give up yet but it's not looking good by any means. No not eating crow, I said the whole time that I agreed the hitting was streaky, it's just right now it seems to be one of the worse downward sloping streaks of the year. Very bad time for that to happen during the playoffs that's for sure. Fister has been pretty good all year though so if he can do his job today and IF the bats can get going we'll maybe be able to tie it up.

A wise man would shake the lineup up a bit IMO to try to make something happen, but then again we have Smokey at the helm so the wise man hope goes out the window lol.
