Afternoon gs.

This has been a real ugly game.

Yes it has


Raburn at bat

0-1

Flies out to RF


2 outs


Thames at bat

1-0 on Marcus

2-0

Best that can be said is that the sox and twinkies are losing too. Otherwise very few positives.

Fouled back

2-1

3-1

3-2 on Marcus

Marcus swings and misses


Game Over

11- 1 Indians

That last swing pretty much sums it up.

Hopefully they will both lose; but the Tigers can't always count on that



Tigers should have won at least 2 of 3 this weekend from the Tribe

No excuse losing 2 out of 3 to a team that is in shambles and traded away several key players the last couple weeks

Tigers better hope Washburn blanks em

because their hitting is like shit


They so needed to get a big bat


Yankees 7

White Sox 4


Angels 9

Twins 2?

We've made a habit out of making the awful look awesome.

Maybe we can pick up some momentum on the homestand.

from what I can see, Tigers are in a shambles too!

They are just playing under their heads


They better hope the Twins or White Sox don't get hot

or they are screwed

They need to win at least 3 from Baltimore this week

No doubt

maybe I'd better stay away....they will start winning then!
Maybe no one should go to the next homestand...see what they think of THAT....

Tigers play well enough at home

On the road is where the problem is

Magic 8 Ball says Tigers will kick ass on the next homestand

Magic 8 Ball!

i agree the tigers really should have taken 2 of 3, same as they should not have let the Yankees (!) sweep them. It the Tigers want ot be around in October, let's hope something starts. I know I've complained the last coupla times I've been here, but I still and always will be a Tigers fan.

Today's game was quite painful to watch! But I still love 'em!

Tigersaint gotta shake the powers that be!
