Game 156: Royals (71-86) at Tigers (71-84)

There is a real possibility that the Tigers could have the individual leader in all three Triple Crown categories (Maggs for BA, Cabrera for RBI and HR) and could finish as a team in last place. How many times (if ever) has that happened? Please, Dave, get some pitching in the offseason.

not even casselberry on

I should’ve kept the TV off.

could this team beat anyone right now?

But c’mon – score some #@$%ing runs, man.

I feel like that has been at least part of Verlander’s problem this season. While he hasn’t been all that sharp he hasn’t got much support either. Puts a lot of pressure on the pitching. I don’t like seeing Freddy get hit around like this. Bummer.

for this team to do better next year. Notice I said “better”. The miracle would have to be a universal cure for what ails us……..pitching.

than the 119 loss season for me. At least back then, I knew we sucked going in. But after sitting second row when Magglio hit the dinger to send us to the Series in ‘06, having Zumaya jump into me and my section-mates (no, we didn’t hurt him), actually signing guys I’ve heard of…it just makes it worse to be THIS bad. I dunno.

Seriously? You lucky dog! I was in the nosebleed seats and watched that ball cruise right on into the stands and then we all went nuts!

Geez, I hate to see him in this kind of funk.

My goodness, this game has got to be one of the shortest of the summer. Just a little over 2 hours.

works at the dealership next to my apartment. Anyone want me to pass on any messages for the skipper?

I’d be banned if I said what I really think.

Oh wait, you mean that’s the bullpen’s job and they should probably have been doing this the whole year? Well, better late than never, I always say.

If it’s his retired priest brother, ask him to say a prayer.

Looking up at the Royals. Hang your head in shame. The only positive in their terrible play is that, if they lose out, they might get as high as the #6 pick in next year’s draft.
