The Tigers made it two wins in a row and there were a few things to like. First, they got the series win. Second, they scored six runs after scoring seven the game before and they got the runs off of a good pitcher in Jeff Samardzija. Third, they came from behind after trailing 4-1. Fourth, Simon was solid and Soria closed out the ninth.

What’s not to like? Well, I’m still not on the bandwagon after two wins. The fielding, which looked like it was getting better, looks like it is reverting to prior year form and they are still hitting into too many double plays. However, after an eight game losing streak, I’ll take a series win scoring 13 runs in two games

So they’ve lost seven in a row. This ship is sinking and there are not enough available life boats I’m afraid. Unfortunately, the window of opportunity for this team has closed. Now, Tigers fans, we are stuck with watching over priced, over-the-hill, has-beens, or never-weres, flail away, in futility. Strap yourselves in. This is going to be ugly.

They just keep finding ways to lose.

The Angels completed a four game sweep of the two run Tigers and I don’t have mush to say. I could rail on about Joba being the weak link in the pen but the offense, for about the 30tj time this year, couldn’t score. You just can’t ask that much of any staff.
