For this season anyway.
Last night was the last straw for me. How many times can this team find a way to blow it? It has been atleast twice in the past couple weeks where the team has taken the lead in the top half of the 9th or in extra innings only to fail to get anyone out and lose the game. They were up 6 - 2 and they blew it.
I can appreciate how this team has battled back from that horrible start, but I do not think this team will ever be closer than 4 - 6 games out of first place. This team gets on a little run and makes you think they might actually do something and then they do and go on a losing streak against the teams they really need to beat.
Between the inconsistent offense, the bullpen being horrible, and trading Pudge for Farnsworth, I think this team has lost me.
This not to say there aren't any good things goig on with the team. I'm thrilled that Marcus Thames has finally showed what he can do. Gallaraga has been the Tigers MVP this season. Cabera is looking like the guy they traded for and Mags is Mags.
I am huge fan of most of the players on the team, I just do not think they can get it done this year. Hopefully they can prove me wrong.
So, when is the Lion's first preseason game? The Red Wings start camp in a month.
