D is for Doormat: Kicking the Tigers when they're down

D is for doormat, which Detroit currently is.
E is for error: Today Placido Polanco earned his first since July 1, 2006.
T is for terrifying team batting.  The only team that's scored fewer runs than the Tigers (15) is Colorado (12).
R is for retching. Read some of the discussion on Detroittigersweblog.com and you'll understand.  Their fans are getting a bit frustrated, and even their host doesn't have anything good to say.
O is for 0-7, their current record.  
I is for impatience. They're pushing at the plate, and not scoring runs.
T is for Tiger, as in Eye of the Tiger.  They'll dig themselves out of this mess before long.  I still would pick them to win the AL Central, but they need to get it together soon.  To paraphrase Crash Davis, the Tigers need a rainout in a big way.
