Bases loaded, Upton at the plate. Two terrible strike calls make it 0-2 to start, but he battles back to make it a full count before being walked on a pitch inside. 2-0 Tigers.
 
I think the pink bats are messing with some of the minds.
 
Verlander strikes out Prince Fielder on a changeup and moved into 2nd place on the Tigers strikeout list, moving past Jack Morris.
 
Verlander issues a 2 out walk and now stinky at the plate for Texas. Odor has killed the Tigers this weekend.
 
2nd to worst AL bullpen when inheriting runners. 2nd to worst AL bullpen with runs allowed per game.
 
A loss today and this team is 7-13 in their last 20. $173 Million payroll is 4th host in baseball.
 
It's time to fire Ausmus

Cabrera hitting .287 has nothing to do with Tigers record. Nether does K Upton's .237, Gose .210,McCann .077. Iglesias hasn't been hitting. Shoot any one in the two spot has failed so far!!!!!!!!!!

I'm to the point Cabrera should bat second.

Really the problems go back to DD not getting the minor's enough players to build from within. Just waaaaay too many trades of three for one deals.

Heck Kton does it again! Couple of bad signings /trades Pelfrey and Kton, Aviles,Maybin. Puts this on Avila just as much as Ausmus. In fact Avila got to stay with Ausmus or he's next on the chopping block. This team got so many problems. Like Pizza man did an interview the other day and said Tiger been to the WS three times, could have been a slip of the mind. But really me thinks this team has no leadership.
 
It's almost to the Detroit Lions level where as a fan it's getting OK to root for them to fail in the hopes that losing brings about the wholesale changes this team needs to rebuild.
