Tiger Geist

Texas comes to D-town tonight, fresh off being swept in a four game series in Boston.  Both teams share similar records, both teams are bottom dwellers in their division, and (unfortunately for the tigers) both teams have a better road record.  Detroit’s beaten up, but its time their ace takes the ball and starts another winning streak.

Not much word on Sheffield’s status (though Danny Knobler hints it might be in his head);  Polanco is available but its unknown how much he’ll play in the series.  This should be a great test — honestly Texas isn’t a very good and good teams beat up on bad teams, especially at home.  The weather doesn’t look exactly pleasant, which won’t help some of the aching joints.

One last note:  8 games left in April;  Detroit needs to go 7-1 to even their record going into May.  Ending strong could be a strong boost going into the warm summer months.
