Rebuild project winning is optional

 

[turok]

Inching closer to the late manager Sparky Anderson's semi-famous 40 game team assessment mark.

The Tigers won't be @ .500 with 4 games to go and 6 games under.

Next up is a weekend series vs the 20-14 Seattle Mariners @ CoPa, who are playing well, considering that they are in the high-flying Angels and Astros division.

 

[turok]

Liriano was just announced as the latest Tiger to be hit with the flu bug affecting the team, which he gutted through in today's game, and likely accounted for his control issues.

 

[turok]

Fox Sports Detroit has Texass manager bannister giving his postgame presser...which Tigers fan gives a flying fuck about the rump rangers?

this isn't a good team. In the long run it might be better if they just lose 100 and get the top pick again next year.

open mouth insert foot turn around three times while hopping up and down, will make things feel better. Well it might not, but it should take your mind off everything else.

Bus ticket's are cheap.

this isn't a good team. In the long run it might be better if they just lose 100 and get the top pick again next year.

The Reds and the O's look like the top contenders for the worst team/record in MLB, long season but I am guessing that the Tigers will be bottom 10 with a 5th to 7th pick.

Mr jones with another not even close at bat

He?s had a better start to the year than I thought but I just don?t see him as a major league caliber player. Even a couple years ago when everyone was high on him as a prospect I had a gut feeling the guy was a whiff machine.
