Detroit Tigers Officially Suck

At least we still have the Pistons and Red Wings.

The Tigers today got swept for the second time this year by the perennial AL Central punching bag, the Kansas City Royals. A team that the Tigers should never lose a series to.

So the Tigers are sitting with a team ERA over 5 on the year. They also are the worst in the league in quality starts at 10. 6 innings allowing less than 3 ERs by a starter.

IT is starting to look like the MLB forcing these guys to go to drug rehab to kick their HGH and steroid problems is starting to show this year. Runs are down almost a half a run for the league. The Tigers in particular are hitting like a tee ball team that has never seen live pitch before. This with probably 6-7 former all-stars int he line up, not to mention a couple of Hall of Famers.

This team couldn't hit a breaking ball if their lives depended on it, and every team they play knows it. Boston showed them all with their gameplan, and KC had the same success with guys like Greinke throwing their magic balls at the hitters.

They had a players-only meeting today before the game and came out to get bounced again by the Royals. Nothing really to even comprehend about this tema anymore. These guys are playing for paychecks.
