After all the hype of the spring about this recreation of the 27 Yankees, I ask you is this the real Detroit Tigers we are seeing after the first six games of the season. I say no, not by a long shot. After being out scored 12-6 and being swept by the Kansas City Royals, yes the Kansas City Royals I said, the Tigers were licking their wounds. You might think this would wake the sleeping gaint, I mean Tiger, well think again. The Chicago White out scored the Tigers 26-10 as they also sweep the Tigers in another three game series. Yes the mighty Tigers that had the lineup that could score at will along with a decent pitching staff just couldn't get it done. We are heading into the second week of the season still loking for their first win.
These Tigers came into the season with all the power that Detroit use to love to put into their souped up high performance engines of yesteryear. The Tigers are playing like the auto's that are all so popular today though, those weak ass four cylinders that we all are headed back to fighting sky high fuel prices.
How does a team that is so stacked start off 0-6. Well don't think this will continue you can't hold down a squad like this for long. I still think they will be there when the season is over. The Sox will give them a run but look for Detroit to seal the deal and win the division.

How can this be with Maggs, Sheif, and big boy Cabrera in the middle of their order. Granderson must be underpaid. I guess we will see when he gets back.
