Tiger Starters and .500 ball

Have we had one well pitched game this season? I do not think so. With Willis have a tummy ache last night, we started Brad Thomas from Austrailia. He has not started a major league game in 9 years and it looked like it, but staying in our .500 pace we pulled one off anyways. We need to have more success from our starters. Cabrera also frustrated me at the end of last season, but he is hitting the cover off the ball and leads American League in ribbies. Not sure what is happening with Laird. Go Get Em Tigers!!

  1. Chuck, hate to say it, but I told you so. This is a .500 ball club. Just too many holes. The Bengals are lucky to be where they are, and they were lucky to win Saturday night.

  3. in his prime i seen Barry Bonds get intentionally walked with the bases loaded, he was the most feared hitter in baseball and at one point no team would pitch to him. One of the reasons for that was he hit 3rd and jeff kent hit 4th.who would you rather pith to? Miguel Cabrera is going to reach that point if he already hasnt especially with Inge hitting behind him. my question is why not Cabrera 3rd and Ordonez 4th? Yankees in 61 hit maris 3rd and mantle 4th, good reason for the 61 homers for maris because you had to pitch to him, yankees have a similar situation hitting Arod 4th right now. I cant believe the rangers pitched to him last night tied 6-6, guy throws him a 95 mph fastball right down the middle and thats whats going to happen every time. this guy is only getting better.
