Oy. Wil Ledezma (also a star on my Xbox), Yan, and Ugie combine to give up only 2 runs on 5 hits to one of the best offenses in baseball and the Tigers STILL lose. Ugh. Four Rangers pitchers combined to shutout the Detroit nine over the last 8 innings.

The loss drops the Tigers back to 8 games below .500 and effectively ends any wild hopes of postseason play. Frankly, though, it's just frustrating that this team can't quite figure out how to get over the .500 hump. They inch closer and closer, then tumble down the mountain.

Let's hope they can take 2 of 3 from the Red Sox. After all, I've got 20 bucks riding on it with The Other Senator.
