In fact he not only still leads the team in "go-ahead hits," he somehow has managed to increase his lead since the break (Polanco has passed by Granderson into 3rd, behind Inge and Cabrera). So, thankfully, his few hits seem to come at the best of times. As far the the comments about the (not-Satanic) Rays: the sweep was even more devastating than detailed above--because the very next day they faced a double-header against Sabathia and Burnett. And not only were they swept in the DH, but they lost Carlos Pena for the season when he got hit with a pitch across the knuckles. That has to be in the running for the worst 4 days in franchise history. Despite Inge’s severe slump, it’s worth noting his HR/RBI numbers.

To review the 3 games from 9/4-9/6: 9/4> 1-1 tie going into the 9th, The Tigers score 3 in the top of the inning, in the bottom, the Rays score 2 and leave 2 on base 9/5> Rays have 6-3 lead after 6, but the Tigers score 3 in the 7th and 2 in the 8th to win 8-6 9/6> Brandon Inge hits 9th Inning grand slam as the Tigers win 5-3. The Tigers have won six games which they were trailing going into the ninth inning. That figure leads the American League. Jeff,

That sweep was really tough for the Rays (and great for the Tigers). To review the 3 games from 9/4-9/6:

9/4> 1-1 tie going into the 9th, The Tigers score 3 in the top of the inning, in the bottom, the Rays score 2 and leave 2 on base

9/5> Rays have 6-3 lead after 6, but the Tigers score 3 in the 7th and 2 in the 8th to win 8-6

9/6> Brandon Inge hits 9th Inning grand slam as the Tigers win 5-3.

The Tigers have won six games which they were trailing going into the ninth inning. That figure leads the American League.

As huge as the sweep was for Detroit, it was 10 more devistating for the loveable Rays. You failed to mention the heart wrenching sweep of the defending AL Champion Tampa Bay Rays in St. Petersburg.
