AL CENTRAL

What a difference a year makes.

As we saw in 2006, I guess it's best to fly under the radar with low expectations.

Your saying the Tigers are under the radar this year ?

I understand what SR is saying. Last year everybody picked us to win it all. I certainly did. This year, everybody was picking us to finish out of the running. So I can see what SR was saying. I said it at the beginning of the season - we have the best starting rotation in the division. Porcello has become a great starter, and will probably remain with the Tiger's after Bonderman returns. He's leading the team in W's, and he is 3-0 with a 1.00 ERA in his last three starts. Couple that with Verlander's return to domination and Jackson's arm. Galaraga will find his way again, and then add Bonderman. That's a really nice rotation. The late inning bullpen is nothing but high octane gas. Perry, Zumaya, and Rodney - all upper 90's MPH throwers.

The way the Tiger's are hitting this series, I'm going to be sad to see Oakland's pitching leave town.

GO TIGERS!!!

Cabrera is just a monster.....damn does the Marlin line-up miss him!!!:(:(:(
 
He was worth every player we sent there. How's Maybin doing? He was labeled a "can't miss", 5 -tool prospect.

Maybin just got demoted to AAA!:mad::( He started out well, suddenly, he cannot hit to save his life. He has a TERRIBLE time with the curve ball. Andrew Miller is starting to show some signs of a pulse. Last night, I would say he pitched his BEST GAME since being traded here. His ERA is still in the mid 5s...but his last two starts, a win last night and a no decision the previous start, have been solid.

The Marlins are struggling because they have injuries in what was supposedly their strongest area....starting pitching. Annibal Sanchez(POSSIBLE rotator cuff issues) and Josh Johnson(tighness and soarness, waiting for stress test results). ALL the pressure has been on Volstad and Nolasco and Nolasco has been pounded the last 4 starts....shooting up his ERA from about 3 to almost 8!!:eek:
Everyone KNEW coming into this season, the real weak link was the bullpen.

They better hope the hitters show up in a hurry, A's 6 Tigers 0
Galaraga looks terrible today.
 
You just returned the favor, I was going to go downstairs to watch, but I guess I'll stay here. this is more entertaining till the Wings come on.

My computer and TV are in the same room, just need to turn my head ... or the channel if it gets any worse ....

Waiting on the Wings.

Tigers are putting together a good inning here ..... Scored 2 so far , with 2 out and have 2 on as well.
 

OK, who actually PLAYS sports?

Shaq once had a video game of his own- a fighting game!
