The Lear Tigers
Bless You Boys wonders if the Tigers can get any worse. I'm always reminded of King Lear when I hear a question like that. Throughout that play just when you think things can't get any worse for Lear, they get worse. Right now, the offense is bad, the starting pitching is bad, and the relief pitching is bad. I suppose Guillen and Ordonez could both go down with injuries. While that may not make things worse, it would certainly make recovery from this start much more difficult.
Verlander goes down with a sore arm.
The Mudhens have a 25 y.o. 1B, Jeff Larish, who has 5 HRs already. He may get moved up soon.
