Nova gets out of TWO bases loaded and no out jams.


Crazy.

Top notch bullpen you put together Mr. Gardenhire.

 

[broncosmitty]

Wow.

 

[Iffster]

Tigers would have won the game if they had used Buck Farmer! LOL

Prediction....first change, will be Mickie Mahtook. The LF parade will begin shortly: Jones, Reyes, Gerber, Higginson, Herndon.........

You're pointing the finger at the wrong person. It's actually all guys collected by Mr. Avila, or even Dombrowski before him. Would you rather have the guys Gardenhire left behind in Toledo?

After the bullpen blew the 6-4 lead, I was gonna get on here and say, "The bridge between starter and Shane Greene will be crumbling all year." But then Greene sucked, too.

First game of D/H same line up as Saturday......

 

[Howie115]

Nice 0-3 start.

I don't think the Tigers will see .500 all year.

Well, at least we won't go 0-162 this season!

Liriano actually looked good. Though the Royals' lineup ain't so scary anymore.

No chance.

Atleast the offense looks average. The defense should get better especially with the callups throughout the year. The pitching is straight fecal though. The goal this season with the draft and possible trades, is to get our farm in the top 10 in baseball.

 

[Howie115]

For chrissakes, Leonys Martin is NOT a leadoff hitter.

Season long, I tend to agree with you.

Oddly, we've had three strong pitching performances in the last four games, but are only 1-3 in those games thanks to two 1-0 losses.

[Iffster]

If the first week is any indication.....Detroit may end up in 5th place, but only 5-6 games out of first.
