Tigers need to refocus





Just a week ago I made an article on how the Tigers were looking to pass the Indians. A week later the Indians pass the Twins, and the Tigers start to struggle. The Tigers now find themselves 4.5 games back of the Tribe and 2.5 games back from the Twins. It seems like anything that could go wrong the past week, has. Most of all, lack of RUN SUPPORT. Don’t blame it on the pitching we lost 4-1 many times. As down as this Tiger team has been, I believe the Tigs have one more chance. This weekend the Tigers host the Tribe.

If the Tigers lose this series its over, there is absolutely no chance the Tigers come back. I believe if the Tigers win this series they will gain confidence, and possibly pass the Twins. The key to winning this giant series is forgetting about the past week and REFOCUSING on the present. This is Trams job. Tram needs to wash away the teams past regrets and focus them. If Tram isn’t capable of doing this, you have to get rid of him. This is Trams final exam and he needs to ace it. I think he has it in him.

See, this whole thing is emotional. Its obvious the Tigers have the talent to sweep the Indians. Tram this is your chance, right here right now. Rally cap ready.

How is REFOCUSING (all caps) going to help the Tigers win? This is another one of those cliches that makes no sense. Are you saying the Tiger's players aren't trying?

They're professionals. They've been playing baseball their entire life. Trust me, they're focused enough.

I don't even know where to begin.

Normally, I'd let the Blog Critic handle the actual "sports content" of this post (and yes, I'm using quotes to indicate I don't feel there's any real sports content in the post - keep up, kids) and focus instead on the usual errors Tamaz seems to enjoy making, but I just can't help myself.

Incredibly, Tamaz writes three large paragraphs and never once offers a suggestion as to how Trammell is supposed to "wash away [their] past regrets and focus them." What a bunch of psycho-babble hogwash. I swear I need hip waders just to read this tripe. The "whole thing is emotional?" Are you serious? They're PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL PLAYERS. Do you honestly think this sort of Freudian bull has a place in the sport? Who the hell do you think you are, the Phil Jackson of bloggers?

And don't even get me started on the whole "if the Tigers lose this series it's over ... if the Tigers win this series they will gain confidence, and possibly pass the Twins" baloney. As if one freaking series could be THAT important in a 162-game season. ONE HUNDRED SIXTY-TWO GAMES, Tamaz. Yet three are going to make or break 'em.

Unreal. This is really sad.

Looks like Nick is feeling a bit left out. Sorry Nick, but your posts are simply dull and not worthy of our critique. But you just keep on trying, little fella.
