Problem is, we have to hope that a loss in April doesn't kill us in Sept/Oct.

Just can't get a lead to Nathan.
Pretty soon, its gonna come down to the Starter going 8 innings and taking the ball to the dugout and handing it to Nathan.
Tigers beat the White Sox this afternoon, 7-4 and Max picks-up his 2nd win of the season. I didn't realize they were playing a day game. Anyway, I see our less-than-stellar bullpen was once again, less-than-stellar. On a positive note, Miggy had a couple base-hits and knocked-in 3-runs. Go Tigers!
Jackson also had a good game, a double and a walk ... Some reason Jackson seems much more comfortable hitting where he's at now.
Davis was 3-5 with a HR.
Cabrera has raised his avg 43 points in 2 days, now up to .250.
Maybe we need to add some Run to Mr. Coke ....
Wheres Pepsi when ya need him ?
So much for the Tigers vaunted Starting Rotation ...
Porcello leaves last nights game with elbow tenderness and Anabel Sanchez just left todays game in the 3rd inning with some kind of ailment.

Hopefully Sanchez is just feeling a little under-the-weather (lots of flu going around). As for Porcello...hopefully he'll be fine after a bit of ice and therapy. I think he's an average pitcher who can have his moments when he's on his game, and he's pitching well so far this season.
Meanwhile, the Tigers are on the board early...but they will need runs with bullpen. Speaking of our bullpen...they made last night's 10-1 lead much too exiting, as always.
Turns out Sanchez left with a blister ...more than likely will be fine for his next start.
Now it's being reported that Sanchez has been placed on the 15 day .... Listening to Asmus, he said that the blister was GROSS and the worst he's seen.
Tigers recall P Justin Miller from the Hens, the same guy that they optioned to Toledo earlier in the day for another pitcher they brought up.
Poor guy is on a yo-yo.
Tigers are about 4 games behind the rest of the division in games played, due to rain outs and or other weather related issues.
If you need a rain out, just schedule Verlander to be on the mound that night.
His start Sunday was washed out, now the rains are coming down in Chicago, holding up his start, fortunately I'd rather the game get postponed right away, vs on and off rain delays all night.
Fwiw, were in the middle of that same storm here in NW Ohio, suppose to rain all night here.
I believe this is the Northern edge of the same storm wreaking havoc across the South.
Ironically, with the Tigers playing less games than the rest, they STILL lead the division by a game.

Game is in Chicago ...
That said, we do have bad rains coming soon ...
Just had a real hard rain for about 20 minutes about 30 minutes ago.
Actually, the weather doesn't look all that bad for Chicago, they may get this game in without to many delays.
