This weekend saw the Detroit Tigers continue to struggle on the road against the Minnesota Twins in the Metrodome. Whether its the high bounces of the artificial turf or balls disappearing in the outfield, the road woes continue.
When your only win is eeked out in a 16 inning marathon game, you know its been a rough weekend. Even with the good karma of Justin Verlander and Edwin Jackson's selection to the All Star team could not help us salvage more than 1 game. Jackson did loose a tightly contested game on Saturday where our bullpen could hardly be faulted after going 10 innings the night before. I sure hope Rick Porcello has not already hit the rookie wall because the staff will be in even more trouble. After seeing some of the subs they are trying to plug into there bullpen is really scary right now, I am seeing one guy after another that I have never heard of.
I am just glad that a division leader is a division leader no matter how bad the division is and all get a ticket into the playoffs. I really hope the all star break will give us some fresh legs and a good spark to starting the 2nd half.
