It's quite evident to me now as we face possible elimination this evening that quietly and stoically Miguel Cabrera was the Tigers team Leader - not in stats but in stature. The Tiger's rally around Miguel like buddies who feel tougher because they walked into the bar with the toughest meanest guy in town.
But now that swagger is gone - and there are no other leaders to step in to bring that swagger back - although I think Torii Hunter gave it his very best shot.
Our boys look defeated and worse they look scared and nervous and that results in pressing at the plate which never frigging works.
But they get one more chance. And if they achieve tonight - well they get one more chance at the other teamms field.
Lets see what they do with this one more chance.
