Thought I’d share the Yahoo! Sports Team Report on the Tigers today. While I haven’t been covering the Tigers much, they’re certainly outperforming last year’s underperformance.
Yahoo! is fortunately not on the “this is 2006″ bandwagon that’s starting to appear in the local media. Hey, I know we all need a good pick-me-up right now (esp. those who work for Chrysler), but I’m not sure this team is going to be that good. That said, they’re certainly better than last year’s debacle.
Here’s an excerpt (the link is below):
Ryan Perry keeps getting tested.
It’s a series of pass-fail exams for the Tigers’ 2008 first-round draft choice, but so far the good marks outweigh the bad.
Perry was tested Tuesday and failed. He came into a 0-0 game and was the first pitcher in a 10-run New York inning that brought the Yankees an 11-0 win.
Jim Leyland being Jim Leyland, the manager didn’t waste any time in putting his hard-throwing future closer prospect back on the firing line.
Wednesday, Perry was brought into a game the Tigers trailed 8-1. He got two quick outs, then promptly walked the bases loaded.
