Detroit Tigers fans begin leaving yesterday's game en masse after 5 innings.
And why not--the Tigers and their pitching were getting bombed again by the Orioles; the team once again played under .500 ball on this home stand; any hopes of a miracle run for the playoffs are gone.
It pains me to say it as a Tigers fan, but--this year, this team is about the biggest bust in baseball.

At the sports desk: Detroit Tigers pass the .500 mark (finally)
Us Michigan natives who are Tigers fans are relieved today (a bit.)
The Detroit Tigers, picked this year to be a World Series contender, but who were horrible early (12 games under .500 at one point) beat the Colorado Rockies yesterday to go over .500 with 41 wins, 40 losses.
But don't be satisfied, Tiger fans. This team badly underachieved early. They should never have put themselves in the position they eventually were in. They still have a long ways to go.
But at least they didn't quit. And they still have a chance.
They should watch Red Wings tapes to learn what a champion does.
