Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland is not a happy guy these days in Motown, where his club is only three wins ahead of the worst record in the American League.

The Detroit Free Press posted a story in today’s paper about the Detroit Tigers’ key stats being down from the two previous seasons. Are you serious? I can’t believe it! The Tigers are 21-30 overall and tied for last in the American League Central with the free falling Kansas City Royals, so it should be no surprise to anyone that the Tigers’ stats are down from the last two seasons, especially since Detroit had a record well above the .500 mark in both of those seasons.
According to the story, the Tigers have been shutout seven times this season – the most in the majors. The article also talks about the inconsistent pitching efforts of the Tigers’ staff as a whole. Well, it’s a good thing the “freep” has figured out the problem with the Tigers. Now, we can just wait for the problem to be fixed. Or will it be fixed? Does it matter? The Red Wings are spanking the Pittsburgh Penguins right now in the NHL playoffs. That’s all owner Mike Ilitch is concerned with at the moment.
