What a week to be the largest cat of the feline species. If you were named Tiger or the Tigers chances are your week was inauspicious.
Let's look at three disappointing Tigers:
Tiger Woods: We know finishing second at the Masters for the King of golf is tough, but the 2nd place at Augusta may have been not so bad for Tiger. Especially after the news that he will need 4-6 weeks to recover from the arthroscopic knee surgery he had Tuesday. How do you beat the best golfer in the World? Not playing against him is a start.
Detroit Tigers: After an 0-7 start to the season, I guess things are looking up for the 4-10 Tigers. Well, things can only get better if you're a fan of the Motor City Tankers, who own the lowest runs scored and the highest runs allowed of any team in Major League Baseball. A beleaguered bullpen mixed with poor starting pitching (Willis hurt and Kenny Rogers 0-3) is the reason. And with competitive teams like Cleveland, Chicago, and Minnesota in the division, the Tigers better get their paws underneath them in a hurry.
Memphis Tigers: You knew this was coming. I couldn't let the most disappointing Tigers of them all get off the hook. With a nine point lead and with championship in sight and almost in hand, Memphis crumbled behind the unsteady hands of Chris Douglas-Roberts and Derrick Rose at the foul line and blew their chance at the title. And for my pick of the obvious decision of the week I will select Derrick Rose. Rose obviously put his name in the NBA Draft this week and that should make Memphis have to "claw" their way back to the top next season.
