The Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals finished up a three game series and the Tigers were beaten in all three games. Things are very bad with the Tigers right now and then management came back to say that Jim Leyland would be back next year as manager. Hmm hopefully the players respond better next year I guess.

Nate Robertson was terrible as he was charged with seven hits and eight runs in just 4 2/3 innings. Robertson took the loss and is now 7-11 on the year. Chris Lambert was charged with the two other runs that the Royals scored in the game.

I think the offense has pretty much given up. They just want this season to get over with. They can’t even hardly score against the Royals pitchers and that is bad. The only runs the Tigers scored came via the home run ball on Wednesday night. Mike Hessman hit a solo home run while Placido Polanco hit a three-run jack in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Things sure don’t get easier for the Tigers in their final series of the year. They will be taking on the Tampa Bay Rays in a four game series. I think we could be looking at another sweep.

It was an offensive pounding by the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night as they beat up on the Texas Rangers by the score of 17-4. Seven different Tigers players had rbi’s in the game and Freddy Garcia picked up his first victory since last year in the major leagues.

Magglio Ordonez led the team with four rbi while Miguel Cabrera and Edgar Renteria were right behind him with three rbi each. Ryan Raburn, Brandon Inge, and Dusty Ryan all helped out with two rbi each as well. Not to be left out, Marcus Thames added a rbi of his own. Great showing by the offense as they hammered the Rangers pitching staff.

Garcia tossed five innings to pick up his first win of the season and improve to 1-0. In his five innings, he allowed two hits and only one run. Great start for Freddy! Nate Robertson had some problems in his 2 2/3 innings as he allowed four his and three runs. Four walks by Robertson really hurt him in the game.

The Detroit Tigers had an embarrassing game on Wednesday night as they were blown out by the Texas Rangers 9-1. The Tigers potent offense was only able to come up with six hits and one run down in hot Texas where the ball usually flies all over the ballpark.

The one run that the Tigers did get came in the fourth inning when Miguel Cabrera doubled and Ramon Santiago scored. That was it for the Tigers who struggled against Kevin Millwood who tossed a complete game for the Rangers.

Nate Robertson was hit hard and often as he gave up eight hits and eight runs in only 3 2/3 innings. The Rangers played home run derby off of Robertson as they connected on five home runs in the first four innings of the game. The Rangers weren’t done hitting the long ball however as Aquilino Lopez gave up one more in the seventh inning.

All around it was just a terrible game for the Tigers. - Tigers Baseball Blog

Nothing changed for the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday afternoon as they lost to the Oakland Athletics once again.  This time it was by the score of 10-2 as the Tigers were out played and out matched in the game.  The Tigers dropped all three games and swere swept by the A’s in the series.

Nate Robertson fell to 3-6 on the season as he took the loss in the game.  Giving up eight hits, five runs, and three walks just didn’t get it done for Robertson who threw 6 1/3 innings.  The Tigers bullpen wasn’t any better however as they gave up another five runs in the game.

Freddy Dolsi got right back on the mound after last nights outing and gave up one run while only recording one out in the game.  Casey Fossum had the worst outing however as he gave up four runs without even recording an out!  Fossum, your old, you suck, please retire!  Aquilino Lopez pitched the final 1 1/3 innings and gave up three hits but zero runs.

Both of the Tigers runs came in the sixth inning as Carlos Guillen and Magglio Ordonez both recorded an rbi.  Guillen had a rbi single that scored Ryan Raburn and Ordonez was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded that scored Curtis Granderson.

The Tigers will have a much needed off day on Thursday and then will get back to playing baseball on Friday when they begin a series with the Clevleand Indians.
