That sound you hear coming from Detroit is the sound of the Tigers coughing up a hairball. They had the division title practically handed to them in the form of the Royals and they barfed it up. They blew a 6-nothing lead yesterday, let the errors cost them runs, and tried to be the heroes by slugging in a grand slam with the bases loaded rather than trying for a base hit to bring in the man on third and win the game.

Look, really, I'm glad they have done better this year than last year, and all things considered we had a really great time at the game yesterday (a friend got tix). Once the sun came out it was comfortable, although breezy. I could be slightly sunburned on one side of my body. And we got more game than we paid for (12 innings!) so it was a good deal. I only wish the Tigers would lose games because they were outplayed by the other team, not because they outplayed themselves, which seems to be the story in Detroit far too often (in the dictionary, see: Lions).

Now they have to play the Yankees in New York, I understand. That's going to be tough, if they play the way they played against the Royals this past week. Derek, honey, be nice to your Michigan team, please? Um, yeah, I didn't think so.
