Bummer

Heck of a ball game tonight as the Tigers came up short in the one game playoff with the Minnesota Twins.  Once again the Tigers were unable to capitalize on numerous scoring opportunities.  Too many times all season Detroit was unable to turn runners into runs.  Too many times they failed to score guys from 3rd with 1 or less outs.  I've really never seen anything like it.  Unable to even get the ball out of the infield with guys in scoring position.  Still they had chances to end the game.  Placido Polanco once again failed to make a routine play on a soft ball hit towards the 2nd base bag and failed to put ball in play with runners in scoring position, twice striking out.  The catcher Laird should not be on a roster.  Nothing he does behind the plate is worth having an automatic out every ssingle time he steps to the plate.  One would think a catcher would at least have a clue about the strike zone, but this guy almost goes down to one knee to swing at a obvious ball four with the bases loaded and pops out on a bunt attempt.  Nice job dumbass.  You would think he would accidently get a hit sometime, nope, not Gerald.  I have to add that Leyland seems to have no clue half the time.  Makes a lot of bad decisions during the course of the game.

Hats off to the Twins, go beat the Yankees!
