grasping for hope

the tigers are terrible. theyre looking like the tigers 4 years ago. but this is after spending the second most in the majors on their roster and being preseason favorites. the wheels have fallen off and evidently, their sanity is slipping too. their game against the yankees was rained out yesterday. the last rainout against NY was followed by a seven game win streak in the post season. some are saying this rainout is a good omen. i know baseball is a superstitious sport, but come on. i hope they start winning, but how about focusing on playing sound ball rather than looking for help from the rain gods?

all that money that Illitch spent has done nothing to earn their pay to date. Willis has pitched 5 innings. Cabrera is producing, but not to the expectations everyone had. without them, the blockbuster offseason trade, the tigers would be in much the same position, except with hope for next season and the future. im beginning to be happy that i dont get any tigers games here.
