The 42-game mark

I just have to stop watching the Tigers. Nobody needs the depression of watching them every night.

This is worst than 2003, when they lost 119 games. Expectations were high, and they're playing horrible, listless, boring baseball. These aren't lovable losers; these are overpaid, slow, old, difficult-to-watch bores.

I'm the eternal optimist and am holding out some hope that things can turn around. But I'm already calling for the head of the hitting coach and the pitching coach; Leyland's will be next. Maybe he just can't win with high expectations.

At least they're still only 6 games back. Ugh.

And I hate interleague play, too.

Sorry dude,

Maybe you should take a break from them for a while and follow my Cubbies instead. Take last night for instance: They keep the game exciting (3 run-inside-the-parker) but, unlike in the past, don't let the wheels fall off when the game gets tight. It is SO nice seeing them be able to slam the door now-a-days!
