Tees Would be Cheaper

The Tigers fell to 0-7 on the season today with a 5-0 loss to the Red Sox. I think it's officially time to set up tees for the opposing teams to hit off of and just let the Tiger pitchers sit in the bullpen until they can figure out how to hold a team under 3 runs.

Kenny Rogers got the start on the hill today for the Tigers, he threw 107 pitches and couldn't manage to get out of the fifth inning. Nice work Gambler!

Following up Rogers' performance, reliever Jason "Rally Starter" Grilli was bad once again. He allowed two runs, the second one on a bases-loaded walk. Really Grilli? REALLY??? A bases loaded walk?!?!

FYI:
No team in Major League history has ever started the season 0-7 and made the playoffs.

Oh, and one more thing. No team since the 1983 Houston Astros has recovered from an 0-7 start to finish the season with a winning record.
