The Tigers Need A Hug




The Tigers suffered a 11-0 Shutout last night at Comerica Park. For the most part it was a very exciting game until the Josh Anderson error in Left Field blew the game open, from there it was all New York. Edwin Jackson again looked strong with 6 Innings pitched, allowing only 4 hits, 1 base on balls and added 4 K's. Keep in mind Jackson went 6 Innings of shutout baseball. Ryan Perry was wild as he walked two and allowed one hit. Four runs were scored off Perry while only 2 were Earned. Perry looked about as bad as he ever has all season. With this outing Perry's ERA jumps from 1.42 to 4.05. As you can tell by the score the bullpen woes didn't stop there. Nate Robinson (Our 7 Million Dollar Mop Up Man) came in and was terrible. He gave up 3 Hits, 4 Runs all earned, and 1 Base on Balls doing this while only pitching .1 innings. Next on the slab was Brandon Lyon, yet he didn't impress either. He finished giving up 2 hits, and 2 runs as well as 2 walks plus add in the Home Run he served up. Brandon Lyon is pitching so bad there going to start calling him Detroit Lyon pretty soon.

This was a classic 0-0 baseball game and the Tigers fell apart. You hate to see this happen yet you can't win them all. I'm again very pleased with Edwin Jackson again on the mound. Let's just hope the bullpen won't be our downfall again this season.
