Messy Success


It's hard to think the Tigers are a decent team after watching yesterday's slop fest and this 10-0 destruction at the hands of the Sox -- a team desperate for a win.

The same can be said of the Dodgers, who are getting sliced and diced by the Padres, yet won so many in a row this month it doesn't matter.

I can't make heads or tails out of the NL West. Anyone care to guess?

But as far as the AL Central, nothing (same 5.5 lead, same strong top pitching, same ability to hang around games, AJP still a weannie) has changed after this series -- a great result for a slumping Tiger team. It's up to the Sox and Twins to grind out a heck of a lot of wins to catch the Tigs. And even if one of them does, it probably leaves the Tigs in the Wild Card.

So we'll see. But I know this much -- Miner and Nate "Hang Another for Dye" Robertson won't be in the playoff rotation at this rate.

The Tigs needs a little Leyland in their ears.
