The 6 game (longest since April 2002) losing streak has ended. Although, I fear it is not, if this is the end of the pain for this year, I’d say we got out without suffering too much damage. How did we do it, you ask? With the help of three rooks, two making their major league debuts and one becoming the 92nd player in history to homer in his first major league at bat. What a day! Too bad it happened in Detroit! Now, since the rooks picked up the vets today, maybe some of them will learn how to hit again.
And now, a quick note on Tim Salmon. Even though he has cooled off a bit, he has shown that he can still hit big boy pitching for power. We weren’t expecting .300 and that’s fine. He is still a dangerous hitter, and a huge asset to a team of increasingly young players that need a veteran of Tim’s experience and attitude around for the dog days.
