Ahira's Hangar

Off to a rough start with the NM A-Bombers-I'm in 7th place and my lineup is hitting an anemic .258. With a team like this I should be kicking ass (I have a killer outfield...), oh well I must be patient, it's a long season.

Jason Varitek (Bos - C)
Carlos Delgado (NYM - 1B)
Chase Utley (Phi - 2B)
Adrián Béltre (Sea - 3B)
Ryan Theriot (ChC - 2B,SS)
Mark Reynolds (Ari - 3B)
Jeff Keppinger (Cin - 3B, SS)
Xavier Nady (Pit - OF)
Curtis Granderson (Det - OF)
Jacoby Ellsbury (Bos - OF)
Shane Victorino (Phi - OF)
Vladimir Guerrero (LAA - OF)
Matt Stairs (Tor - 1B,OF)
Gary Matthews Jr. (LAA - OF)
Moisés Alou (NYM - OF)
Luis Castillo (NYM - 2B)
Gary Sheffield (Det - OF)

(CI, MI, start 5 OFs)

John Lackey is coming back and Ervin Santana and Joe Saunders are mowing 'em down both at 6-0!!! Go Angels!!! (wishes we had the running flag emos again, sigh...)

The Tigers are so bad this year they make me want to puke.

If the starting pitching is good (a rare event!) the hitters cannot hit their way out of a wet paper bag. If the hitters are pounding the ball, the starting pitching sucks. On the extremely rare occasions when they can get hits and the starting pitching is good, the bull pen sucks. And very few of them can field worth a cup full of poop. We have lost games (such as tonight's opener in Arizona) due to truly awful fielding and errors. And none of them seem to be either willing or able to play small ball - make sacrifices, try to beat out a grounder to first, steal bases, bunt, etc. Cap it off by a lot of questionable decisions by Leyland and this team just plain sucks.

A lot of Tigers teams have sucked over the years. Take the 2003 team - please! But I do not know when any Tigers team has infuriated me as much as this one. Now I wish I had not bought tickets and I have seen the Tigers most years going back to Tiger Stadium (I skipped some years around 2003, and who could blame me?). So not wanting to see them is a really big statement coming from me.

Holy crap they stink.

Thank God for the Red Wings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, it's gotten so bad I dropped Sheffield yesterday-didn't even try to trade him just dropped him flat. Verlander's 1-8 the talking heads say that if just a few thing were corrected in his mechanics he'd be right back in last year's form...

Go Angels! Napoli and Ketchum are carrying the team-come on Vlad WAKE UP!!!

And I hope they keep it up for the rest of the season! Go Devil Rays!

No they're just the Rays now-see they got better once they exorcized themself!

Well, after hitting the manic end of their team wide mental/mood disorder, which resulted in a sweep of the hapless Mariners, the Tigers have slid right back down into their teamwide depression tonight. sgsindt the Twinkies This season it just sucks to be a Tigers fan.

So this Baseball thing, the one where there is a world series comprising just of American teams, that's actually Rounders isn't it? Such a cute game, but surely it doesn't belong in the sports forum...

The Tampa Bay Rays have the highest winning pct in Baseball? How'd that happen?
I'm so used to our team being virtually elimintated from the playoffs by now that It's kind of hard to know how to feel.
I guess it's true that every dog has his day or that even a blind squirel can sometimes find an acorn.
