Bazardo got sent down and a lefty named Rapada got called up. He was expected to make the team originally, but developed tendenitis in his shoulder in spring training.

Grilli should just flat out be released.

This is a team that could be dominating this summer if they straighten out that bullpen.

How long will it take the kid who just got his passport figured out to get up to snuff?

Lets just enjoy the amazing bullpen performance we saw last night. I couldn't believe my eyes...

2-8

Just wait untell the great Rondey come back and you will see more and more blowin saves. Rondey would have trouble getting a peewee team out.

Rodney and Zumaya would help this bullpen a lot. The Tigers may want to look at anything that's still out there on the free agent market, such as Freddy
Garcia. No, he's not a reliever, but they could move one of their starters to the pen or trade him for bullpen help. The guys they got now probably aren't the answer.

Okay. What does he plan to do about the offense?

Poor Jim he has to be a Houdini or David Copperfield to make a decent bullpen out of that mess in Detroit !!!

zumaya will help when hes back and healthy, but rodney? and grilli is a bum

No need to panic in Motown. The Tigers will be fine once Zumaya and Granderson are back.

it's not just the bullpen that's killing the Tigers right now.

didnt the Tigers brass pay ANY attention to the 2001 - 2007 Yankees? Putting together a group of over priced free agent hired guns just dosnt work.

Please realize the owner also owns the Red Wings, a team which proves the above statement incorrect...

As wtih most I thought that Cabrera/Willis trade would put the Tigers over the edge. Man, that hasn't worked out at all. Cabrear will probably recover and have a typical season. But Willis - what happened to this guy? I was certain a move from FLA would energize this cat. But he is huge. Getting paid a gazillion and the only plate he can find is at the dinner table.

And I'd be worried about Verlander. He has been a stud his first 2 yrs, but has stunk it up big time so far. It may be early, but I think these guys are done.

Mathematicaly eliminated in the first two weeks of the season.

I HATE the City of Chicago, but I think those folks might be doing some celebrating in October.....Cubs/White Sux???????

God, help us all. Well, at least they are not as obnoxious as Yankee fans or Red Sox Nation.

Mathematicaly eliminated in the first two weeks of the season.

They are down what like 6 games with 140 left?

Isn't 140 > 6?

damn, it seems like giving all those good pitchers we had away was a bad move. We cant even hold a team under 7 runs. The should have kept at least one of their young god pitchers.
