Tigers in a slump


While the Ohio Lasers Scarlet team has been on a tear in softball, it appears that the Detroit Tigers have been in a bit of a slump baseball wise. They were doing so well for a while there, but I just looked at some of their recent scores and things haven't been quite so great.

There was a point when the Tigers were just two games behind the Minnesota Twins in the AL Central, but now that I look at the scores, they are sitting three games behind them. If you aren't sure, let me explain how the baseball rankings work.

For the Tigers to gain a full game on the Twins, they would have to actually play the Twins. Otherwise they only gain a half a game if the Twins are not playing the same day.

Let's go back to the beginning of the week.

The Tigers had a series this week against Houston. They came up short on Monday losing 5 to 0 and getting absolutely shut out.

Tuesday, they took another hammering losing 10 to 6. At least they didn't get shut out though right?

Yesterday (Wednesday), they were actually able to come away with a 3 to 2 win in what was clearly a close game. Unfortunately, the Twins continue to win, so that gap isn't closing at all.

The Tigers are off today before starting a series this weekend against the Chicago White Sox. I think we all know that I am going to be too busy watching softball this weekend to catch any of the Tigers games. That is unless it is playing at a bar I happen to find myself in.

I've been having a really exciting time watching my niece play softball and the College Softball World Series. Although the game can be just as slow as baseball, there is something about it that makes it more exciting for me.

Perhaps it is all the stolen bases, or maybe just the fact that my nieces love it so much, so therefore I do as well.

I think the Tigers have been a bit of a surprise for a lot of people, so I am pretty excited for them. I hope they can finish the season strong. I read something the other day that said we are already about a third of the way through the MLB season. That is kind of hard to believe!
