Alright, Scout. I have to admitt something..............
I may be flip flopping on Leyland. He had 6-9 batters consisting of Raburn, Worth, Garcia, and Laird. First off- WHY THE HELL was Raburn brought out of the moth balls? We NEVER should've seen him play a game in a Tiger uniform EVER again! Laird is fine, sitting Avila (for rest as they put it) changes nothing. With Avila we are LUCKY to get one hit, if that, but this lineup was horrible and makes zero sense. We are in a very tough pennant race, had Verlander starting and Leyland does this? IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now let's talk about pinch running Berry. It was late innings, he is a perfect 19 for 19 in base stealing, we were behind. WHY IN THE HELL does Leyland have him bunted to 2nd? STUPID IDIOT!!!!!!! RUN HIM!!!!!!!! Then bunt him to 3rd!!!!!!!!
Now get this................ If you liked Raburn batting 6th, you'll LOVE him batting 2nd tonight! No joke. We are in Chicago, we HAVE to sweep the series, and Leyland pulls this.
I think it is time for him to go now. 2 moves that make zero sense and now a 3rd.

Yeah, I've kinda lost track of what's going on. I haven't watched a game in weeks and I haven't listened either - I just get the scores on my phone. I didn't know that the automatic out (Raburn) was back. I see we lost tonight. If they lose the next two the season is pretty much over. Bummer - I was hoping for some post-season action again this year.

Avila actually had 3 hits the other day, then Prince knocked him a good one yesterday.
Another stupid lineup by Leyland today. We were up, Fister was shakey to put it lightly, our defense blew it and we lost.
Another Tigers heartbreak.

I think you can stick a fork in it and call it done. 3 games back now with maybe 15 left to play? Those are pretty long odds.

We have the A's, Twins, and Royals. They have to play the Angels.
Did you see the lineup today? Damn Leyland and his ultra obsession with lefty/righty matchups!!!!!!!
Only lefty's started were Prince and Boesch. We were listening to 97.1 the ticket out of Detroit on internet radio at work. I predicted the insanity and the jackass did it.
He put Infante batting #2! HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He went 0-4 by the way. Get off the matchups and play who is hitting in these desperate times. I would've rather have seen Garcia #2 (who did start) or even Boesch eventhough he's a lefty. Infante #2? Really, Leyland?!
Infante is NOT our 2nd baseman for next year. They all talk about no Peralta, Papa Grande may be gone (he isn't throwing the forkball that got him all the whiffs last year, but still better than the rest of the closers this year at 31 for 35 or 36 in saves except for Rodney. Benoit is NOT next years closer! Dotel is NOT either! Already the 6th highest payroll in the bigs, I don't see them spending much more next year. Not lookiing forward to next year at all.

Well he can't give up 2 runs every time he pitches.  |

I'm almost afraid to say it out loud but the Tigers are tied for the lead again. The third time is the charm? We'll see.

Hell yes!!!!!!!!!!!! No it's time for Cabrera to wrap up the triple crown and MVP!
Do you believe for one second Sherzer is out tonight due to an ankle injury that took place during the celebration?
I do not. I believe it is one of two things or a mixture as to why he won't start tonight. I think his shoulder/arm is still sore. I think he wore it out the last month or so and Leyland is resting it/him. I think the rotation needs to be and will be altered for the postseason. This could be why he is sitting tonight out. Maybe JV game 1 and Sherzer game 2? Game 4 starter is very important too.
I think I'd go JV 1 Sherzer 2 Sanchez 3 and Fister 4.

Leyland was on Detroit radio today and said his biggest mistake this season was sticking with Raburn.
