Wake me up from this nightmare! Game in the bag against the division winner and Todd Jones blows the save in the ninth inning. You have got to be kidding me. A great ball game wasted by one of the worst closers in the game. I believe it's time the Detroit Tigers make a change in the closer role. Give Fernando Rodney (been throwing lights out as of late) a chance in the ninth. He can't do any worse than Jones (3 0f last 7 chances blown). Rather than sitting 3 1/2 games behind the Sox the Tigers ball club is 6 1/2 behind and had their hearts ripped out last night. A quality start by Nate Robertson wasted. Once again Detroit hit the baseball well, although they wasted a few chances. Carlos Guillen had a huge homer in the seventh only to be outdone with Jermaine Dye's bomb in the ninth. Justin Verlander takes the mound today with Detroit Tigers baseball needing a big outing to get back into this pennant race. The baseball schedule favors Detroit the rest of the season, they just have to capitalize.
