fathom Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 QUOTE (Baron @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 01:56 AM) Seems like this team is completely worn out which is why I wont be that unhappy if we dont make the playoffs. I think the pitching staff is tired and our hitters are banged up. Robin seems to be going through some issues. Stuff like that happens in a baseball season. If we dont make it hopefully we improve and can make a run next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with what your saying, but this swoon hurts because we only make the playoffs once every 4 years and I don't want to wait another year to see if we can do this again with new pieces next year.

Soxbadger Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 08:55 PM) Every corporation has long term goals when it enters a year. However, if you think that expectations don't change as the industry landscape changes, you're insane. It's pathetic how people like you are trotting out the "Well, we were supposed to suck!" excuse with eight f***ing games left in the season in a pennant race. Unbelievable. lol The "industry landscape" changed? The Sox were dramatically better this year with relatively the same team. The only "landscape change" was the hiring of Robin, and you are blaming him. You are literally the guy who wants to fire Steve Jobs because his newest gadget is "failing" because it "only" sold 2mil in the fourth quarter after selling 10mil first quarter, even though the original projection was only 5mil units sold. CUT MY NOSE TO SPITE MY FACE! CUT MY NOSE TO SPITE MY FACE! Literally laughing here. I can remember what the fans were saying opening day this year.

The problem is that on paper, our pitching staff really looks bad next season w/out Peavy. I mean really really bad. Laughably bad. Considering our recent history in free agency and lack of good pitchers out there anyway, next year could be one of the worst seasons we've experienced in a long long time.

Trust me I am not the poster child for patience. If this team went through a full rebuild I wouldnt be nearly as active as I am now. I do not like losing and I do not like waiting for them to get better. I want results now. But I can see the issues right now with this team. I think maybe with Kenny getting some more money this team can really take ahold of this division. Im not impressed with the Tigers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree big time with this. When you have a Cy Young candidate as your #1 pitcher, you have a chance to have a solid pitching staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill let Kenny and Rick figure that one out greg. I think money talks and if we make a good impression on some of the guys that can go a long way.

Right, because the Tigers didn't s*** the bed for the first 100 games of the year. Are you really telling me that after beating the brains out of Texas, being up three games with fifteen games to play, etc., that you didn't start to expect more out of the team than you did at the beginning of the year?

When I watched the games and I saw players were basically completely done in terms of energy a month ago and when I looked at the schedule of the Tigers versus Sox, I knew that this was going to come down to the wire.
