He left in the 8th inning yesterday (I think it was his knees), anyway I think he's listed as day-to-day.

1 out.

It isn't that people like myself aren't aware
of what is going on. I take the same
attitude as a fan as I do when I
compete. You have to go positive.
Another thing is that the season
is 162 games, and that is a long
time. To waste a lot of negative
emotion on a series or one road
trip is not all that healthy...and
listening to over the top crabbing
when things aren't going well
is irritating, and it helps no one.

Can't really blame the pitching today. Can't win too many games on 2 runs, especially the way the Tigers have been pitching lately.

Now they can have a nice rest. They traveled almost 5000 miles in the last 3 weeks. Had to go twice to the west coast which is unheard of in one road trip. 6 plane trips and 21 games in 21 days. I will believe this is the reason. Exhaustion. They will rebound with a more normal schedule the rest of the season. The scheduler ough to be shot.
