Tigers 1 and Done

"Warm up the bus(for them), cool down the beer(for us)" is what the Minnesota Twin Fans should be chanting tonight after the game.

The Tigers picked the worst time to go on a cold spell to match the recent temperatures. They lost in 12 innings to the Twins tonight. There needs to be some accountability, the team hits the skids in the last two weeks after being ahead in the standings by 7 games. With 4 games left in the year, they were up 3, and ended up tied with the Twins. Awful! No team ever has had such a let down!!

Between the ineptitude that the Detroit Lions have showed over the past 8 years, and the constant choking of the Tigers the last two seasons, where did it go right?

The Tigers have spent huge money on players that didn't even have any input on this season, it was a wasted gamble. The GM and his scouts should take a deep look at what they do from here forward, they can't afford to drop 15 million bucks on players that are consistently injured or plainly mediocre.

Will Leyland stay his contract out? Or will he walk away like he did in Colorado?

Will Bonderman be back at 100 percent next year?

Will the Tigers sign Polanco and Rodney from free agency?

Will the Tigers cut line with Dontrelle Willis and eat the rest of his contract?

So many questions, very little answers. The Tigers head back home tonight empty handed, ashamed, embarassed and licking their wounds.

And Miguel Cabrera, who is the teams biggest star, got so drunk a few nights ago, he ended in a domestic 911 phone call at 6 am over the weekend with his wife! Seriously, you got so trashed with the a friend or two from the opponents team on the biggest weekend of the year for your team? And how much they are paying you a year, 15, 20 million a year?!? Seriously?

This is one of the biggest let downs in Detroit Sports since Rasheed Wallace left Robert Horry Open for the game winning 3 vs. the Spurs in the 2005 NBA Finals. Or when the Pistons totally blew up against Cleveland that Rasheed was thrown out of the final game. Or when the Lions went 0-16 last year...or when the Tigers finished in 4th place last year in their own division after going to the World Series...or last sunday when the Detroit Lions were outscored 24-3 in the second half to the Chicago Bears. Or the Gary Sheffield Experiment.

All those great memories!
