It’s spring so while a loss is a loss, it’s not always a negative and the Tigers had a few positives in today’s ten inning loss fo the Jays.  First off,  Mike Maroth threw three shutout innings and he’s looked sharp in his two starts so far.  Second, Jose Mesa struck out two in his single inning as he slowly tries to make a fool out of me for being down on him.  Third, Placido Polanco has been absolutely on fire.  He’s now hitting .714 with seven RBIs.

So it’s not all bad even though the Tigers spring standing has come pretty close to evening out at .500.  Jeremy Bonderman will get the start tomorrow against the Braves and it’s on the radio here in Detroit.
