Game 103 Overflow Thread

Not sure how much of a need there's going to be for this, as I imagine a lot of you would prefer to get on with your Sunday afternoons after the terrible effort the Tigers are putting up today.

Indians 8, Tigers 0 in the seventh inning, after an Asdrubal Cabrera homer.

Well, this does not bode well for the rest of the season.

Ever since the All-Star break I’ve not had a good feeling about this team. I keep waiting for something to light a fire under the bats, and quite frankly, even if we’d gotten one in a trade it wouldn’t have made a difference. One person can’t carry the team.

We can cheer all we want about how having Washburn now will make a big difference in the playoffs, but we have to get there first and even if we do end up in first in the AL Central, we won’t get past the first post-season series.

To me, that is unacceptable in a team that has this much potential and talent.

by NCDee on Aug 2, 2009 3:58 PM EDT reply actions  

I 100% agree.

There is no reason that there is only one batter with a +.300 BA in that lineup. Last night looked better, but today was embarrassing.
It is time for Leyland (or DD) to have a tirade in the locker room and demand improvement.
Dombrowski keeps saying that the talent is there, and he is right. We have 4 All-Stars on this team but can’t hit.
We couldn’t find a bat for trades, but there are a few in our own clubhouse that are lost underneath benches or somewhere. Put those to use.
They can win the division but against the East they are toast.

by murrajo on Aug 2, 2009 4:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yep

That 4 game series in Boston coming up next week could really be what buries us, assuming we are even in good shape after this week (anything less than 4-3 at home against the Orioles and Twins means we’re toast even before)
