Sucking at a Higher Rate

Sorry, but this post has to brief. Why? Who wants to constantly reiterate the same points over and over again? Nothing new happened last night. Brad Radke was absolutely awful. No surprise. At this rate, you'd swear the guy wanted a higher ERA than his paycheck. It doesn't end there either. Torii Hunter? Not hitting a thing. Rondell White? Ditto. Strikeouts, GIDP in big situations? Check. Table setters like Stewart and Castillo still doing their jobs? Yes they are, but it doesn't make a difference when no one can drive you in.

Beyond all that, a 9-0 loss to the Tigers was just plain embarassing. I couldn't even watch Radke pitch, the results were so predictable. At this rate, this team is very much a fourth-place team and not a contender. And watching Gardenhire try to "manage" gets harder by the night. Lets pray that tommorow's game isn't so terrible, but with 100 mph heat-throwing Justin Verlander on the mound, its unlikely.

Time to skip the skipper and push some new energy and faith in this team
