Just Sick

Tigers Baseball. When I was kid at least they competed. And when they would have a bad season, they would come back and play well the next season. My son is 8 years old. The last time the Tigers finished a season over .500 I was dating Gila Greenspan and my wife was going out with Bentzi Race. It was 1993.

This year we finally had some hope. But winning on opening day, to go one game over 500 may have been their peak. Now they are 3-6 and it is looking like it might be a long summer down on woodward.

Of course, the 87 tigers started out 11-19 and eneded up winning the division, but this tiger team doesn't have a tradition of winning. They don't know how to win, and watching them makes me sick.

Sparky Anderson used to say that you don't know anything about a team until you've seen 40 games. We know this after 9 games, though. They still can't play with Minnesota, and had a tough time with Kansas City. If that doesn't tell you something about this team, nothing will.
