Ok I really cannot keep this up with you. You live in Toledo so you know better then all off us idiots. Raburn has no more assignments left. They'd have to send him to waivers. Anyway. Go tigers. Even though I'm not a fan.

Yea more stellar hitting.
Really so then what your saying is I have to be poitive to be a tiger fan? I'm confusing? Maybe your just confused.
I love the Tigers...have Tiger Blood and Bengal DNA pulsing through my veins (wait, I sound like Charlie Sheen 
), but this team is identical to teams from the past few years...heartless! Seriously, they look like a ship hopelessly adrift without a skipper. I hate to admit it---although I've mentioned it the past two yeas---it's time to get a new skipper. While they certainly don't have the talent to be an elite team, they certainly have enough talent to be leading the AL Central by 5-6 games. Heck, San Francisco won the series with less overall talent than the Tigers...but they played smart and had guts and heart. Anyway, I'm losing my hopeful optimism that this year's team will right the ship and steer a course to compete for the Pennant.

Well, you knew going inthey would have trouble with SF, afterall they have much better strting pitching, they win most of thier games scoring 2 runs or less !
New skipper, do you have anyone in mind that would do better at the moment ?
I would think that they should be able to take 3 of 4 against KC, but well see.
The second half of the season is right around the corner, will they win 35 games in the second half ?

I think Jim Riggleman is a competent manager and his replacing Leyland would change the motivation of this team. He's certainly not a better manager than Leyland, but the change would certainly change the team's complacent mindset. Plus we could get rid of some of coaching staff who aren't doing their jobs. Seriously, the Tigers couldn't possibly have a worse 2nd half than they have the past four years. That's my two cents...

Assuming there are no changes in the Tiger's leadership team this year...what is it going to take to wake this team up and get them playing to their potential? I cannot believe we're a .500 team.
Will Tigers take handle KC or play like a road team this series?

I can't see clearing house in the middle of the season .... as far as the manager and coaching staff.
So, how about the Tigers change the opinion of all of us that have seen 2nd half collapse and WIN in the 2nd half for a change !
Is the Tigers road record all that bad this year ?
Edit:
Just looked, Tigers are only 4 game under .500 so far, same as the Indians.
There are plenty of teams under .500 on the road, the Phillies have the SAME record as the Tigers.
It's much better this year, but we have a habit of losing to the teams we should beat while on the road.
They have a habit of losing to teams they should beat, road or home, period ....
Is this Phil Coke's first appearance out of the pen since he was sent there ?
I like him better out of the pen .... 1 pitch 1 out !
I like him better out of the pen .... 1 pitch 1 out !
I think he pitched an inning on Sunday or Monday, and yes...I like him a lot better out of the bullpen. While I was back in the area I saw Phil Coke being interviewed on FSD and he mentioned it was his goal to earn back a starting position. He just always seemed to let up a really big inning no matter how well he was pitching.
