Being put out of its misery...

....the Tigers 2008 season that is.

With a 12 out of 13 game slide, the Tigers are now in LAST place. Before opening day, with all the free agent acquistions, most were willing to crown the Tigers world champions before a pitch was thrown. What a disappointment this has been.

Todd Jones is retiring, Kenny Rogers hasn't looked too good recently (perhaps his age is catching up with him). Joel Zumaya is hurt again and probably done. Nate Robertson looked tired last night. Verlander has had a sub-par seasons, and Jeremy Bonderman has been out most of the season. Pitching matters.

But then again, so does hitting, and they have had lackluster bats!

As they used to say in Brooklyn (about the Dodgers) "wait until next year"!

Of course, all that being said, I may go to the game today to cheer my head off for them anyway.

On a personal baseball note, I saw my doctor yesterday about my shoulder and he thought it might be calcification of the rotator cuff. He gave me some exercises to do, and if there isn't improvement, than off to an orthopedic surgeon for some grinding.
