Good start.

I think it's over "common sense" which the critics get infuriated

at Leyland with.

Prime Example: Team struggling for a 5th starter all season long. Last year Miner was the team's second best starter and by all standards is an OK fifth starter. Plus, everyone knows Miner isn't the most reliable relief guy, to say the least. Commmon sense would dictate inserting Miner as the 5th starter. So how does Leyland use him for 3 months and counting? Well, y'all know how he uses the guy.

Would Like to See How many Have Faith With What we Have left/Do we Have a Chance To Win/

I'll say that we'll pull it out. The problem I have is blowing this six run lead.

Anyway, Tigers in the sixteenth.

Leyland is horrible

Leyland did go to the playoffs with Pittsburgh. Never went to the World Series. Ended up losing more games than he lost. His time has come and gone. His handling of pitchers is a joke. His hunches with the pitching staff have failed.

Player of the Game/Loser of ther Game

Player of the game:Luke French for having to deal with a crusty Old Man pretending to be a major league manager, And Loser of the game so far goes to, its a tie Zack the Whack & Old Man Leyland for making one of the stupidest moves of his many bloopers, in fact lets call it player of the game & Blooper of the game, loser sounds so baaaaaaddddd.

A lot of good pitching for the Tigers since Miner left.

They can hit into a double play...with nobody on.

They can be called out on a pop up...caught by a fan.

They can be shut down by Cy Young...even when his name is Felipe Paulino.

They are...the most UNINTERESTING offense in the world.

Single....

Span's OBP is 40 points higher than Granderson's. Obviously the power numbers are no comparrison but I'd take Span leading off and Grandy hitting in the heart of the order on the same team any day of the week.
