Nowhere Town

(Updated: Monday, July 19, 8:02am)

I officially amend my prior post. The 2010 Tigers are going nowhere. You can't lose twice four times in a row to a dreadful team like the Indians and expect to be a contender. To further the embarrassment, the Indians were missing Grady Sizemore, Shin Soo-Choo, and Jhonny Peralta. They were a team of 4A players that somehow beat the vaunted Tigers.

Well, I'm a fool no more. This team officially sucks. When Maggs, Cabrera, and Boesch play poorly, the rest of the team can't carry the load. Those guys will not bring the pain every night clearly. And, the folks waiting for Boesch to come down to earth may finally get their wish.

Today Saturday, Verlander allowed the weak Cleveland bats to punish him for 3 runs in six innings. JV also walked 5. Coke came on in relief and continued the bullpen's push toward mediocrity in the second half by taking the loss, giving up the winning run.

It's not Leyland's style, but he should rip into these guys. If they truly want to compete with the best, they have to destroy teams like the Indians. Instead, they get pushed around. Pathetic.
