Should've come back from a 5-1 road trip. Instead this team will struggle to stay above .500 - again.
I say bunt more. And hit and run. And more Herrera and batting Pierzynski 5th and 6th when the chances of men on base are at their highest.
That and groin pulls for the entire Tiger pitching staff should get it done.

About to get on the plane to Boston. Trying to keep my expectations in check for this series.
After all, we beat the Tigers when it mattered.

As of this morning, EVERY AL east team has a losing record at home. It's been a strange season so far. It definitely looks like Detroit is the team to beat in the AL. This 3 game series will be a real test for the guys.

Too early to say if it's a real issue, but definite red flag |

Saw it also, crossing fingers on this one. Let's see; tonight's game we have a slung in left and three guys at the Mendoza line. Asking alot of Lester.
Memo to Bradley, Middlebrooks, and X-Man. Grow up fast. No more of this rookie stuff. You are no longer babies, get with the program. Besides you are making me look like an idiot
Signed
John Henry

JBJ has to start swinging with two strikes. Way too many called 3rd strikes. Good hitters get ahead in the count and try to drive the ball. He looks like he's trying to get a walk.
This series looks like a bad one for the sox. Agree with godot, sox will be asking a lot from Lester tonight.

This 3 game series will be a real test for the guys. Welcome, welcome. Things are surely funky to start the season. KC is only .500 at this point. And Texas looked like a contender but injuries have laid them low so Oakland - with the best record in the AL so far - has jumped five ahead of them. It's early, but it doesn't look all that familiar for a lot of last years contenders at this point. |

The ageless Hunter. Didn't some say he was a bad sign for the Tigers.

It's almost like he really needed that day off on Thursday. Fair enough. Sizemore was the one who had 5 days off out of the last 10. Hope his knee's ok. I'm as high on Sizemore and as low on Carp as almost anyone on these forums, but even I don't think there's a huge difference between the two of them. That said, I'm not seeing anything out of Carp that makes me want to keep him around. |

Bradley ks again. Even Remy is noticing it. Is it that bad? Don't believe our fearsome threescore got the memo. He is carving them up so easy. Our Mendoza trio all k, what a surprise. Call it.

AJP haters should be happy. Farrell named Ross , Lester's personal catcher today. AJP is one of the few hitters that have good numbers against Max but he'd probably swing at the first pitch.Ross can't hit a plus fastball, his only hope is the Tiger's scouts haven't been watching and he gets a breaking ball.
Edit, I'll take a rain delay.

I would point out Farrell campaigned to sign Drew all winter. To no avail. Hope I don't get stoned for saying anything good about Farrell in the series thread. |
