Ugh.  The Tigers have now lost 5 in a row to fall 8 games under .500.  Last night, they fell apart again in the later innings, falling to Kansas City 7-3.

Gary Knotts pitched well after allowing 4 runs in the first.  Pudge blasted his 10th dinger of the year.  Still, the offense isn't getting anything done recently.  They've got to turn it around or they risk falling back into the "We can't win anything" ways of last year.

Still, Pudge leads the All-Star vote.  And Carlos Guillen is closing fast.  Help them out by voting online with mlb.com.

Additionally, the NBA Draft is tonight, but the Pistons don't pick till the 54th selection.  There could be some interesting trades at the top of the board.  Remember, Shaq and T-Mac are still available.  But for the Pistons fan, this is just a handy diversion until Sheed signs a multiyear deal.
