OT: Tigers v. Indians - 8/10
Funky lineup for Leyland was the big talk on the radio today.
No Jackson (whatever, he's struggling).
No Guillen (meh... whatever, he's hitting .220)
No Jhonny (le sigh. This is the second start against a big, hard throwing righty that Jhonny has sat. Says a little bit, but I'd rather have Peralta out there over Santiago (2 for 3 vs. Jimenez, but that's a HALOL of a sample size.)
The only thing that really annoys me is Ordonez batting third. Really, how bad does Singlio have to be to move down to 7th-ish?
1-0 Tribe after 1. A couple bloop singles helped the tribe put one across the board.

Given the second half tendencies of this team under leyland, I can understand why some would be concerned, not to mention the fact that cleveland seems to have our number. Not saying I agree but the grounds for that belief exist

The Tigers have blown division leads in 06' and 09'. In fact, in 09' they had a 7 game lead on September 1st and they still managed to lose the division on the last day.
At this point, the Tigers are a sure bet to lose the division. That's all they have done under Dumbroski and Leyland.
