The Spot Starters

Covering the ups and downs of the Detroit Tigers.

Back In Full Swing

By Blake VandeBunte • Jul 5th, 2009 • Category: 2009 Season

I’m back from my trip out east and regular posting will continue tomorrow.  The Tigers went 8-6 while I was gone, but it sure could have been a lot better.  Curtis Granderson, Edwin Jackson and Justin Verlander are All-Stars.  Always nice to see the Tigers represented in that game.

Special thanks to JAYRC who held down the fort while I was gone.  He will likely stay on to contribute here from time-to-time.  Embrace him with open arms.

The Tigers took a game in Minnesota and you really just have to take what you can get there.  I’ll take it as a positive.  They hold a two game lead over the Twins as the Tigers start a six game homestand before the All Star break.  It will start tomorrow with three games against the Royals and then three against Cleveland.  A 4-2 record in those six games is an absolute necessity.

It’s nice to be back.  It feels great to type on a keyboard at my home base.  More importantly, I’ll be able to watch a Tigers game to its completion for the first time in over two weeks, tomorrow evening.  Good stuff.

Thanks for hanging in there.
