Well, the Tigers managed to grab defeat from the jaws of victory again.  They jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead, with a 2-run home run from Miguel Cabrera.  Their first home run in 11 games from a guy not named Matt Joyce.  They have now lost 11 of their last 13 games.  The Tigers committed 2 errors in the 7th inning and went from a 3-1 lead to a 4-3 loss.  They proceeded to go out 1-2-3-4-5-6 in the 8th and 9th innings and I think they just may have been eliminated from Wild Card contention today.  Man this team that was supposed to be so good really sucks donkey balls.

I picked up Guillen, Renterea, Ordonez and Cabrera thinking the Tigers would be monsterous. Oh the horror!

Don't write it off yet. It's not even June yet and the AL Central is much like the NL Central, up for grabs.

Royals actually scored more than 3 runs today. Took two out of three from the Fish. Not too shabby. And José Guillen is on an absolute tear lately.

Diggin' what I'm seeing.

The most fierce offense in baseball has just been shut out once again. Arizona 4 Detroit 0.  I think this is already the 7th time this season that they have been shut out.  Last year they were shut out 4 times the entire season.  Pretty hilarious given coming in to the season there was talk of the Tigers shattering all Major League scoring records this year.  They went 1 and 5 on this road trip.  It is definitely a good thing that no other team in the AL Central is all that interested in running away with it this year.

^^Something like that.

Jon Lester, dude. 

And yeah, he pulled through big-time.  Probably has something to do with him being added to my fantasy team a week ago

It's just a tad bit early for him to be a legend; he's got 13 career wins.

See baseball footnote about ex-Giant Dave Dravecky and his cancer. What a way to end a career.

DEAR GOD!
The Yanks are actually playing well!

Winning 8-0 right in the 7th..
The pitching was actually good for once, and the offense was on fire like it should be.

I know A-rod takes a lot of heat, but the guy is a pure slugger. Missed 17 (?) games due to injury and first 2 games back he hits 3 HR's (although one was counted as a double)

Go Yankees!
