i liked what i saw out of our Tigers this weekend

let me explain.

giving up a total of 7 runs in a 3 games series is awesome; we should have won the series or even swept it. both our SPs and RP's did a damn good job, esp on the road in a cold, wet environment.

of course our bats were silent in 2 games. we just didn't have any game hero's in those games. imo, we are a couple of hitters short of a team capable of going deep in the post season. Smith, when he gets up to speed should be one of them. our OF is great and Cabrera is coming around nicely. I am still hoping that Slaughter comes around as we need his power and he's a damn good defensive 3B. Broussard and Hughes are freshmen (should improve) and Reid is what he is. imo, all three of these guys in the lineup at the same time spell inconsistency and little or no power.

the bulk of the SEC schedule is still ahead of us and I think we are going to continue to improve. I have a lot of optimism that we'll end up pretty damn good (esp if our hitting comes around).
