It'd be nice to see them keep it up for a while. Been a long time since I could really care about baseball in July.

Again, if Thome used roids, he obviously didn't need them. The guy is going to hit 40-50 homers again this season. He is a freaking farm boy man beast, doubt he used roids.

Chris Shelton! Picked him up in the 20th round of my FB draft. Think it would be a good time to deal him? Any Tigers fans want to give me some thoughts on the guy?

He's picking up where he left off last year. He's lighter this year and his bat speed seems to be a bit better. Not that much of a liability in the field and Pena is gone so 1st base is his. Should see 500+AB's this year.

Would have liked to have that game. Bonderman didn't have his good fastball and you need that vs this line-up. Wednesday at 1:05 for game two.

Seriously? A first place game against the Tribe merits this lineup?

He also has 15 extra base hits.So he can have 150 K's if he has 150 Extra base hits. How about that?

Keep doing that and it's only a matter of time before Pudge decides he wants to concentrate on his latest g/f and not baseball.

Lelyland has no one to fault but himself. nate Rob should not be in the rotation.

Not sure what's wrong with Robertson but I agree.

Who should be? Jason Grilli? I've had this argument before on Motwon sports. Robertson and Maroth are our best options. This week it's complaints about Robertson and next week it will be about Maroth. that's what the system has at the moment and Robertson is very streaky. He'll turn it around. The season is still young. On the bright side even though they lost to the A's Verlander was awesome. Several pitches at 101 mph going seven and striking out seven. He needs to work on his off speed stuff but I really like what I see there. Rogers and Bonderman the next two nights with the Tigers needing to win these games before we get the run of Maroth, Robertson, and Verlander vs the Mariners.

Good series win but they really needed two in this series. Mariners aren't great but with the bottom of the rotation going it's always nice to have a good series at the front end of a road trip.Excellent comeback in the ninth. Rodney didnt look particularly great in the ninth, but got the job done. Todd Jones comes back off the DL tomorrow.
Feeling good after taking 2 of 3 in Oakland

I was really shocked they came back and won today.And I think Rodney was just getting Tiger fans ready for a normal Todd Jones save.Excellent comeback in the ninth. Rodney didnt look particularly great in the ninth, but got the job done. Todd Jones comes back off the DL tomorrow.

That's the truth. Urbina was the same way as well.And I think Rodney was just getting Tiger fans ready for a normal Todd Jones save.Excellent comeback in the ninth. Rodney didnt look particularly great in the ninth, but got the job done. Todd Jones comes back off the DL tomorrow.

Nate might be their best option right now.But I was wondering, why is Zumaya in the bullpen? Kids got great stuff, why not make him a starter?

Good question. With Todd Jones coming back you'd think that Leyland would consider it.
Whenever T Jones comes in I put dinner in the oven.......wait for it to finish coooking.....set the table,eat and then hold my breath as he tries to finish things off after a couple hits,a walk maybe a hit batsman. He never seems to get the 1,2,3 close. Rodney was flat out awesome last night!! Robertson pitches his way to another few starts(at least one of which he'll get LIT UP). There seems to be a new attitude taking hold here early with 'Smokin' Jimmy calling the shots!!

+ 
Monroe just clubbed a three run homer to make it 6-1 in the eighth. Vance Wilson has two hit even!
If they can hold on:
Five straight road wins, 10-2 on the road, and impressive performance by starting pitching. My dream is to see a game in September (I have tickets fro the Rangers/Tigers in Sept) with the team in a playoff race. I can hope.
Lookin' good so far though.

Help me out Tigers fans.
The couple times I have watched Fernando Rodney he look tough out there. I know that Todd Jones is the closer but I see Rodney and I was thinking if Jones isn't effective then Rodney would be the closer.
Will Rodney ever get a chance to be the closer on this team or is he destined to be the set up man all season? I have an open roster spot on my team for a pitcher and I am wondering if I pick up Rodney. Even if he isn't the closer will he get enough IP to help me in the K/9 and WHIP and maybe an occasional Win or Save?
