Where have I been?
Its called life I guess. I have slowly come to grips with how badly the Tigers have performed this year. I will still watch them, still cheer for them. But I have basically written off this season in Detroit. It will take a turnaround of record proportions to make it even close for the wild card this year, forget the division. The only reason that not every other team in the division has swept the Tigers at some point is because they have only played two with the Indians and one of those they caught C.C. Sabathia in his season starting slump and blasted him for 9 runs. I seriously doubt that will happen again THIS year.
What will it take to turn these Tigers around? It will be as drastic as it is dramatic. Some heads will roll for certain. Jaque Jones was just the first. There are others I seriously consider as dead weight in the organization. I know who'd I release and call up but will anyone in the organization listen to any outsiders? Hell no. If they did Sheff would be on the waiver wires already.
Ah well.. I will wait and see. Sooner or later the Baseball boss in Dombrowski will kick in and sentiment will be set aside and some serious changes will be made in the clubhouse. We can only hope it'll be before the 1st of June. Other wise this season will definitely have to be written off.
