Hey Tigers, Now’s The Time For a Win Streak!

Tigers, listen up.  You’ve got a serious chance to save your season.  You gotta go on a little 6 game winning streak, starting Friday night against the Tribe.  That’s not too much to ask, is it?  I bet over the course of history, every team that has made the playoffs has at least one 6 game win streak over the course of the 162 game season.

Here’s why you need to go on this 6 game streak NOW.  As of tonight, June 5th, on your day off, you’re sitting at 8.5 games back of the White Sox for first place in the Central.  You’re 24-35, Chicago is 32-26.  Also ahead of you is Cleveland, at 27-32.  Your next opponents?  Indians and Sox.

Let’s say you sweep the Tribe to open the 6 game win streak.  That puts you at 27-35, tied with Cleveland.  You carry the momentum and sweep the White Sox, and now you’re 30-35, and probably about 4-6 games out of first, depending on how Minnesota plays this next week.  You’d be right back in it, and feeling good about making a run.

How ’bout it Tigers?  I’ll be watching, and I’ll be drinking beer out of my lucky blue Tigers glass.  I rode that glass all the way to the World Series in 2006, when I didn’t drink out of it and you lost.  I haven’t used it this year, but maybe it’s time.

Let’s go Tigers!  We still believe!  Let’s do it now!
