Tigers approaching .500


The Tigers have won 7 out of their last 8 games. The Tigs hitting has caught fire. The whole lineup is producing, and this is without Guillen or a healthy Mags. Whats happend over the past week is connfidence. The Tigers came into the series against the Red Sox lacking confidence, but determined to get back on track. They took 2 out 3 and they knew they could play with the big boys. When the Blue Jays came into town it felt like playing the Royals. I knew the Jays had no chance from the first run the Tigers scored. I just had a feeling it would be a good series. It turned out better then I thought, with an easy sweep.

Today the A's come into town. The A.L wild card leaders. I think the Tigers still have their confidence. However, if we want to win, our pitching is goung to have to come through. You know the A's will bring it. I predict we win 2 out of 3, all close 1 run games. Something like 5-4, or 4-3 sounds about right. Our record now stands at 60-62. Only 5 games back of the Twins we could catch up soon. The Indians will be a tougher task. We are 7 games back and if we do catch up to them, and its a major IF we will finally be back in the race. Maybe these past games have just been a fluke...... Who knows???
