Detroit, Michigan. On Sunday afternoon, the Tigers looked to take two of three from the Angels. On the mound for the Tigers, it was a Scher thing, as Max Scherzer and Gearld Laird combined to have the Angels looking heavenward. Now, as for my headline, the Tigers had two back to back bites, one coming from former Tiger son Prince Fielder, and the other one was Delmon Young’s 14th of the year. This gave the Tigers the lead they would never relinquish. After losing two of three to the lowly Baltimore Orioles, the Tigers rebounded and looked like the playoff team that they should look like. This nine-game home stand was crucial to the Tigers’ hopes of winning the division, because if you can’t beat the lowly Blue Jays, you might as well kiss your playoff chances goodbye. The Tigers now look to put the crowning touch on the Royals, before a crucial series in which they face Paul Kanerko, A. J. Pierzenski and the Chicago White Sox. A 6-3 home stand was acceptable for a baseball team that is trying to be king of the Central. Fielder is finally living up to his nine year contract, and as far as Leyland and his catching rotations, why not give Alex Sunday off? Maybe that will help get his head focused for the final run. I feel that Alex’s hitting has been awful. This is not acceptable for a young man who made the All Star team a year ago. And when you are the Assistant General Manager’s son, you are supposed to help your pitching staff out.
