Tiger Geist

Sounds like a decent number of people went to the game last night, and some even stayed until the end.  Everyone was talking about Todd Jones’ Magglio impersonation, so i found it this morning on youtube:

After being told that Rodney, Zumaya, Sheffield, and Clete Thomas would all return a week apart, who would have guessed that Thomas and Sheffield would help lead Detroit to victory last night, and Zumaya and Rodney would struggle?

Not too worried.  I think its a great sign that they were able to gut out the win.  Zumaya should come around.  I wonder if Leyland is a little concerned that neither Rodney, Zumaya, nor Dolsi have looked good this week.  Early game today;  big series victory on the line.  Continue the crawl back to respectability.  Please.

Update:

I’d love a series win, and then the Cardinals just activated Pujols.  As I’m watching mlb live gameday (with their snazzy new 3d display), here are the Tiger’s batting averages for the batting order:  .269, .316, .305, .304, .277, .296, .234, .000, .000.  I know Sheffield’s swinging a hot bat, but the bottom of the order is slightly scary.
