Checking back in

Been busy, but I've still been following the Tigers. The Game 3 loss vs. the Orioles in the first series after the break really, really bothered me. Up 6-0, the Tigers lost 11-10 in 1o innings.
This game typifies the Tigers' season; in a game they needed to win and apparently had sewn shut, they lose.
The took the final game for a split, then opened up last night with a thumping of the Royals. The problem is that the Tigers need to win virtually every series from now till the end of the year.
The split vs. The Birds doesn't cut it. No matter who pitches, no matter who hits where, this Tigers' team seems to come up short when it ABSOLUTELY needs to win.
Can you say .500 team?
